This is the level of disarray that has become the 2008 Braves' season: Elmer Dessens was handed the ball with a one-run lead in the eighth inning Sunday. The results: all too painful, Dessens giving up five run in 1/3 inning as Atlanta fell 8-4, dropping to 19 games under .500 and 17 games out of first place in the NL East. Yunel Escobar had two hits, including a three-run homer.
