Philly fan, no pitching or pen? Normally I respect the opinions of a rival fan, but thats just plain out retarded. The Braves have Lowe, JJ and Vazquez dominating at the moment. And Moylan, Soriano, Gonzalez have been doing quite well for most of the year.
And you sure as hell have no room to speak about bad pitching

Escobar made an error but on a in btw hopper….Jojo then made an error on a ball hit by Hamels that was rolling foul and threw it into RF and it resulted in 4 Unearned runs….then the other 4 are all on various homers given up by Jojo…
Oh and a fan ran on the field that Chipper and Ryan Howard had a real good laugh at….took em a while to catch the guy he was FAST

philthy phan – i will grant that utley howard and rollins (despite his .214 average this year) are impressive. too bad they can’t pitch. continue gloating that your #1 is beating our place-holder #5 – very impressive. i’d just like to take this opportunity to remind you that your lowest starter ERA is 5.35. enjoy your world championship, because you’re not winning another.

Get a f***ing life. Do you really f’n thing the Mets are going to win $*** this year?
You’re a joke. Why don’t you actually win the division now that the Braves are a 3rd or 4th place team. You don’t have us to look up at in September anymore and you still can’t get it done.

Braveheart….so, you hate Latin Americans and the President. Is it because he’s black or do you object to certain policies of his? Wait,l don’t bother answering. I’d love to see one Braves fan on this board call out this Braveheart idiot for the racist vile he’s spewing in the midst of supposed “baseball” talk.
And, you seem to have a real preoccupation with the buttocks portion of the body. Ever ask yourself why that is? I’m just saying.

Believe me, as someone who lives in an area with plenty of Met fans, there is no reasoning with these people. They act tough, but deep down they know their team isn’t very good. Met fans flood NY sports radio everyday complaining about Manuel, Minaya, Wright, Perez, etc..everyday.

I’ll bet that’s it for Jo-Jo, as far as being an Atlanta Brave. Joe Simpson made a good point that he was using off-speed too much and they looked to be sitting on ‘em. Same old crap, just a 9 in front of the 0 for are buddy Reyes. The offense never had a chance tonight. Gotta get at fat boy Blanton tomorrow and head case Myers on Sunday. No excuse to not hit those goofballs.

“Which, you know, to a Braves fan is just as good as winning the World Series.”
What would you know about that? Every time I think about the Mets I realize that they haven’t ever done anything to really earn my hatred. I mean, I hate the Mets but essentially they mean nothing to me.
But your arrorogance and over-confidence is so undeserved it pisses me off. Why don’t you do something warrant the trash talking.

All right, I’ll leave you to your blog. Just please, Atlanta…don’t get swept, okay? Try to beat the Phillies at least once.

Just beat the Mets and we’re fine. Or at least I am. You’re hardly the best team in this league but you kicked our ass at home last year, there’s no getting around that. As long as the Mets don’t win the division I’m fine. Not that they would.
