Before their series in Miami, former Braves star Jeff Francoeur made intriguing comments about the how the team will need to stay focused after beating the Cubs and Red Sox (at home).
Francoeur (via 680 The Fan): “These are the ones that Bobby Cox good old six used to say are trap games… This is a trap week. You’ve been grinding, you get the Cubs, you get the Red Sox… Now, you go down to the fish tank for four games. Let’s be honest, there’s probably going to be what, 12,000 fans there every night?… These are games you have to keep yourself up for.”
