Atlanta Braves--
The Braves out of Monday's off-day return to action today with the opening of a 4-game series against the New York Mets. It'll be a doubleheader from Turner Field in Atlanta, with first-pitch of Game-1 at 1:05. Tom Glavine gets the pitching start for the opening contest. Glavine is fresh off earning his first victory of the season last week in Phildelphia. In Game-2 tonight, Jorge Campillo will get the pitching call. He's been used in the Braves' bullpen so far this season, and will be making his first start since the 2005 season, when he was a member of the Seattle Mariners.
Atlanta Falcons/signings--
The Falcons continue their off-season tuning of the roster with the signing of former Georgia Tech safety Jamal Lewis.
NFL/Odell Thurman--
The Cincinnati Bengals have released troubled and former star linebacker with the Georgia Bulldogs, Odell Thurman. Thurman had just been re-instated by the NFL after serving a 2-year suspension. He had been penalized for refusing to take a drug test, and an arrest for drunken driving. Thurman recently skipped a voluntary 3-day workout camp with the Bengals.
