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…

Geez. That Overlord commenter could use another shot of everclear. I guess it’s happy hour already in Georgia.
Mr. Met found his doppelganger…
Thanks for pointing me to that ‘Overlord’ poster — what a riot. Good to see that NY has no monopoly on wingnut baseball fans. Poor guy — clearly he needs to get out of his concrete bomb shelter and spend a week at Disneyworld or someplace.
yeah – no other fans every get outraged when journalist lay out uncomplimentary facts about thier favorite players.
I read somewhere on FireJoeMorgan.com that singles hitters rule. Did you catch that article?
SHORP – Single Hits Over Replacement Player!
I used to work with a Braves’ fan at my old job. He used to go on and on about how much superior the Braves were . . . back then. When I get on him now, he bristles. Oh well. The lesson here is: Be nice to folks when your team is on the way up . . . because someday, your team is going to meet them coming back down.
This does not apply to Phillthies’ fans–they haven’t done anything yet to be worthy of having big mouths. At least the Braves backed it up on the field for 14 years.
But, they’re so 1990s . . .
