Post Game Note: Damn. Welcome back, Matt Kemp. Time for bed.

That win last night had me smiling all day. That was really something. The Braves are a team that I was always surrounded by as a kid growing up in the Southeast. So, I’ve always been a bit more anxious when the Dodgers play them. So, when there are big wins like last night, it just feels so much better. It was also a great victory because those are the kind of games we had been losing all season – short starts followed by terrible relief just when the bats went dead. But last night, wow, the offense picked up Beckett’s short start and the bullpen wouldn’t let their foot off the Braves’ necks. I can tell you this from watching the chat online today… Braves fans are not looking forward to the next two games. This tweet is pretty typical of what I was seeing…

#Dodgers confidently and methodically beat #Braves. Doesn’t make me want to stay up for rest of series.
