Read: Mets Just Better than Braves
At his blog for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday, Braves beat writer David O’Brien looked at the ways the Mets are a championship-caliber team and the Braves aren’t, writing:
“David Wright is making a run at the MVP by putting his team on his back, not quite as ferociously as Chipper Jones did with the Braves in his 1999 MVP season – Hoss’ 45 homers that season included four extra-innings game-winners – but at least worthy of being in the same discussion.”
“Wright’s a beast, folks. What a hitter. Damn.
“Meanwhile, Chipper gets hurt again, in batting practice, with less than three weeks remaining in a season that’s spiraling down the drain.”
…o’brien’s a good writer, even when he is not complimenting the mets…based on the blog’s comments, the braves fans didn’t like what o’brien had to say, as i suppose should be expected, but all he really did was lay out the facts…
