Mets finish Sweep: Cox Fired up after the game

Above: Bobby Cox Talks with Second baseman Kelly Johnson

Atlanta-- Bobby Cox got up and left the dugout before the game ended this afternoon. It wasn't that he was upset, or angered. Bobby cox was just frustrated that John Smoltz wasn't taking home a win, because his bullpen blew the game. "You don't like to see that happen. Our last few starters have struggled, and when you get a good game from a guy like smoltz, you have to hold onto the lead." Cox was also upset about the top of the order. " I was telling Kelly, he is pressing too much. He should be alright, but when he and Edgar aren't hitting, the top of our order isn't producing." Cox went on to state not to be surprised if the lineup gets moved around a little.

In other News: Mark Teixiera's Home run streak came to an end. Teixiera had a single in the game.

The braves were down 4-0 at that point, but came back to win. Mike Gonzalez came in for the extra long save, going 3 innings and pitching with a one run lead. Mark Teixiera Homered yet again when the game was already out of reach. Ageless Wonder Julio Franco had the game winning RBI in the bottom of the 6th when he came in to pinch hit for Tim Hudson.
