AJC: O’Brien: Braves need win tonight — no, really

Jeff Bennett taketh away, Jeff Bennett giveth…  The latest from DaveO.

I had just hit “publish” on this blog when a Braves PR person informed us that Jeff Bennett was going on the DL and would meet with the writers in 3 minutes. Didn’t even have time to put it on here before racing downstairs to talk to him. He broke a bone his non-pitching hand last night when he punched a door after giving up the A-Rod hit in the fifth inning, then didn’t tell anyone until after he pitched the sixth inning. Dude pushed the bone back down and set it himself, albeit crudely, before he went back out and pitched another inning. It was broke right in half, the fifth metacarpal, similar to the Omar Infante injury. Bennett’s got to have surgery to have a pin inserted. He hopes to be back in a few weeks. Wouldn’t count on that, though, for various reasons. Lefty Boone Logan was recalled to fill his roster spot

Next time, maybe he can punch himself in the face. It will have the multiple effects of reminding him not to serve up gopher balls AND he won't put himself out of commission.

Apparently Jeff has been taking advice from Kevin Brown.

The NL East is incredibly tight right now. It's not a good division but it's going to be very entertaining.
