Julio accepted assignment and will play some games for Rome and Myrtle Beach. It's good to let him get some at bats and he'll be ready for the playoff roster.

???? You beat us up last night but we just finished a 4-3 road trip versus the two best West teams (at the time) and a 4-2 road trip against the two best Central teams.

The only team we can't beat consistently is you guys... for whatever reason.

Take away the Braves-Mets games this year and the Mets are 18 games over .500. The Braves are 3 games over .500.

I haven't missed your illogical responses.

^^^^ see but youre forgetting one thing
in the baseball season with so many games you cant say what if we didnt play this team at all
can NCSU say what if we didnt play UNC in basketball last year? no, if they didnt play unc they may have won the ACC tourney and gone to the NCAA tourney.
so, to your 18 games over .500 not playing the braves i say fooey
its baseball, its a long season. you may just be getting pissy about that record cause the braves are starting to show a spark again and come back to possibly take the division but more than likely the wild card.

Just stating a fact, b... not getting pissy. I mean it's true. The Mets play well above average against the NL aside from the Braves and the Braves play about average against the league aside from the Mets..

That doesn't bode well for a possible NLCS matchup for us but it does mean the Mets will probably win the division again..

The Braves have actually played under 500 since their 9-2 start.

My statement about the Mets playing crappy against good teams was based on a story from Baseball Tonight (well not so much a story as a quick footnote by one of the anchors). I did not actually bother to look up how the Mets have performed against good competition because in reality it does not matter as long as you make the playoffs (see St Louis Cardinals last year).

The Braves need to just focus on winning the wild card. There is still ~50 games left in the season.

the NL Central is weak. There are 3 teams in the NL East that would be leading the NL Central right now if they played in it. The cubs are done without soriano. The Brewers are sucking wind.....and theres no one else there.

The West is decent..

I don't like the notion of aiming for winning the wild card. You have to set your sights higher and go for the division.

I was trying some reverse psychology... I was hoping he might would actually come through in the clutch if I said some negative about him lol




Dave Justice's HR to win game 6 of the '95 WS should be on there... Hanks 715 will be #1.

we should have won last night but i will take 2 of 3. We need the bullpen to step it up so we close in on either the wildcard or the mets

^yes, which will keep him around for a while (ala Buddy Carlyle). I hope he finds the right situation for himself. I never like for former braves to flounder

fucking pathetic. Chuck James batted before he threw even his first pitch... had a 4-0 lead gift wrapped for him...


4 - 4 in the bottom of the 1st



fucking pathetic piece of shit. Send him to Kansas City to let his career die slowly like Davies'

he struggled in his last two starts against houston and colorado too, but was on a pretty good run before that

he's just hit a rough patch, he's been solid all year though

when was the last game that Rafael Soriano DIDN'T give up a fucking homerun??? jesus christ

Thankfully it was just a solo shot tonight and we're still up 7-5. Sadly, i think Wickman is comin in for the 9th....so who knows if that 2 run lead will hold up

And it starts.....

Top of the 9th, no outs, bases loaded and Teixeira hits into a double play. We get no runs of course.

First batter in the bottom of the 9th against wickman hits a double

I fucking hate this team sometimes
