Georgia sports for Tuesday, September 25th

The Braves open the final week of the regular season on the road--their remaining 6 games on the schedule begin tonight with the 1st of 3 against the Phillies in Philidelphia. Alive but barely are the Braves in the playoff race. They stand 5 games out of 1st in the NL-East division, along with a 3-game deficit in the race for the National League wild card ticket. The Braves have been making a push the past week or so, as they've won 7 of their last 8 games.

Suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has more legal problems to deal with. Already awaiting December-sentencing for his guilty plea to federal dogfighting charges, Vick along with his three co-defendants Tuesday was indicted on two state felony charges relating to dogfighting. One of those charges, killing or beating a dog, carries up to five years in prison and a $2,500 fine for each dog.
