Atlanta Braves vs. Los Angeles Angels – Box Score – May 20, 2011 – ESPN.

When people in the southeast wake up tomorrow, they will be greeted by the smell of sulphur, which will have nothing to do with Hell. It will be the odor of the massive egg the Braves laid in Anaheim tonight. After two innings of scoreless baseball, Tim Hudson collapsed, allowing six runs (capped by a three-run homer) in the third and two more in the fourth before finally getting out of the game (“What kept you?”) for Cristhian Martinez. Realistically, everything after maybe the second run was just piling on, as this team could no more score three runs than Fredi Gonzalez could solve Goldbach’s conjecture. The Braves were limited to four hits, all by bench players getting spot starts — two by Eric Hinske and two by Joe Mather. They never came close to making a game of it. We could have sent Gwinnett to play this game. They could not have done worse.

It was particularly embarrassing to lose to a team wearing what were the worst baseball caps I have ever seen. And I lived through the late seventies.
