It's been a little while since Tom Glavine enjoyed a victory in an Atlanta Braves uniform.The 42-year-old veteran lefty pitched 5.2 solid innings to earn his first win for Atlanta in six years with an 8-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night. He surrendered 4 earned runs on four hits, fanning four and walking two.
Meanwhile, Chipper Jones (3 more!) Yunel Escobar and Kelly Johnson teed off on Brett Myers, each hitting solo shots while Brian McCann drove in three runs of support for Glavine, who hadn’t won a game with the Braves since beating who else, but the Phils on Sept. 19, 2002, just before his five-year hiatus in New York City.

I seriously think there's a shot that Glavine, Smoltz, Chipper will all call it a career. Depressing.
Brock, good call. This might be the biggest year for retirements ever.
If that happens, it'll be a big change of face for the Braves. I don't know if I'm ready to see them all go away yet.
I'd be shocked if Chipper called it a career after this year...he's only 36 and playing the best baseball of his career right now.
I could see players like Bonds, Clemens, Edmonds, Pedro, etc retiring. Smoltz and Glavine will probably retire too, but Chipper is just awesome right now. He's playing like he's 25 years old. He's playing better than when he was 25 years old!
Basically, what anonymous said.
