THE MAIN EVENT: ATLANTA @ new york

[Lord Commander]

we just ended a 14 year streak of dominance and you talk ****. dumbass.



not to mention we beat your ass in every series this year.

I won't get into a pissing/name calling contest with you. I'll just let your Mods decide whether or not that is appropriate conduct. I will say that it is ironic that you call me a "dumbass," when the operative word in your post is "ended." In case you lived under a rock for the past year, the New York Mets are the reigning NL East Champions and the Braves are distant also-rans. Rest on your laurels all you want, but if you can only get up for us, you'll won't get out of third place and the playoffs will be a pipe dream.

Peace....

you talk **** and your team cant beat us. You better hope we don't get into the playoffs.


The braves are the class of the NL east. We have won the division 14 of the last 15 years. That's dominance. You may be the defending champs, but to get up to our level you've got a LONG way to go.


And if we both make it in the playoffs we stand a better chance of advancing then you. Smoltz/huddy is better than anything you have and with tex our lineup is now stronger. In case you were in a hole we've beaten you every series this year, and in the playoffs you won't get to sweep the nats to advance, you'll have to actually beat the good teams (like us).

Doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement to me. This statement shows that you know we'll be there but not sure if your team will make it. Can't blame you there

Your theme song should be "Yesterday"...You a Beatles fan????

And you won't make the playoffs because of that very reason, it is your team who has trouble with the bottom feeders. Your homework is to go back and research what happened in the last Reds/Braves series...in ATL I believe...

[dms269]

I mean who cares that we got Teix, Dotel, and Mahay since that Reds series right?

[magicfan217]

lol soul, you're an idiot.


it's a 162 game season and the braves (since the deadline) are better than the mets IMO. The mets are 3.5 games better right now, and most think that will either shrink or be gone by seasons end. It doesn't help the mets that they struggle with the braves either, and if matched up in the postseason the braves would hold an advantage (as evidenced by us kicking your ass all year). Our postseason rotation will be better and our lineup will be better than yours. Better hope you don't see us in postseason play (if YOU even make it).

[lpsevier]

The Mets have losing records this year against the following:

ATL
COL
DET
LAD
MIN
SDP

Hopefully we'll stop playing down to our competition before the playoffs slip away.

Also, lets taking it easy on the name calling and what not.

More telling would have been a comparison between the Mets and Braves. You neglected to post the Braves' losing record against teams. What?!?!, they have a winning record against everyone they've faced. Once you find that out, you'll see my point that we beat who we're supposed to beat. If the Braves don't beat who they are supposed to beat, guess what, no playoffs...

Whatever dude. You're obviously not intelligent enough to have a debate without resorting to name calling or explaining your position. Why don't you stop playing on daddy's computer before you break something...

I never said we had a winning record against all teams, I'm just pointing out that the Mets don't beat good teams.

I agree that if we don't start beating the bottom feeders consistently we'll miss the playoffs.

actually, you just can't intelligently refute anything I said. Our lineup is now stronger and the front of our rotation is stronger. The mets are just trying to "hold on" at this point.


and when playoff time comes around (assuming the mets and braves both make it which is still an assumption for both teams) I would rather have confidence that I can beat the other playoff teams and not just sweep the nats.

Braves have been better against stiffer competetion this season, and we are a much stronger team since the deadline.

In the postseason our rotation will be better and our lineup will be better. And we will have the confidence of knowing we whipped your asses all year long.

[lpsevier]

The Braves have a losing record against:

ARI
BOS
CIN
DET
FLA
MIN

ATL, COL, DET, LAD, MIN and SDP are the only good teams in the baseball?

You're not dealing with reality if you think the Mets, who have yet to hit their stride but still have a FIRM grip on first place, will be in "hold-on" mode for the rest of the season. Check the schedule and see who we're playing next... To overtake us or the other teams in wild card contention, you have to win and we have to lose. I don't even think that Braves have the best team among wild card contenders. SD, and arguable Colorado and Milwaukee/Cubs have better pitching rotations. So don't assume that because you got a nice offensive player (lLOL that Dotel and Mahay will make a difference) that you're automatically getting to the playoffs...

Well, the Mets have managed to dominate

CHC
CIN
FLA

What's our record against AZ, Milwaukee, and Philly who have better or similar records to the Braves?? Which further illustrates my point that this crap with the Braves is all psychological. Once we're fully healthy and clear out all the cobwebs, we'll win the division easily and not care IF you make the playoffs.

Last time I checked you still have 6 games with us. Gotta think we make up at least two games there since we have won every series this year with you all. The mets didn't make any major moves to improve their team at the deadline, to expect much improvement over the final few months is probably not likely. You could also say the braves never hit THEIR stride. If you're still waiting for the mets to "hit their stride" then you probably will have to wait until next year if they make roster upgrades.


Bottom line is there is still A LOT of baseball to be played with a lot if teams in contention and only a few spots in the playoffs. If the braves keep winning series they will make the playoffs, and IMO look to have the best chance to advance out of the national league. Huddy/Smoltz is as good as any 1-2 punch in the league and our lineup is argulably the best there is in the national league. Plus we have beaten better competition all year long....

No you won't and yes you would.
