by Matthew Cerrone on February 8th, 2008 at 8:22 am

Braves 3B Chipper Jones, using the anonymous username U Kno Who, posted comments on the Braves blog for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, confirms Braves beat writer David O’Brien.

exxcceellllleent…i love it…and always wonder is this has ever happened on MetsBlog.com…i guess we’ll never know

Chipper on himself and the Mets…

“Just heard that Hoss is done after is contract runs out after next season.  Pretty reliable source that is close to him said that he is seriously thinking about retiring soon.  Said that he is tired of listening to all the Mets fans on a Braves blog dominating the conversation with David Wright talk.  Also said that he is tired of owning the Mets for 15 years.  Its someone elses turn.”

…jeez…of course his local nickname is Hoss…how perfect…apparently, there are just countless reasons why i hate the Braves…it just never ends…

Chipper on Shea Stadium…

“I will be deeply saddened to see Shea stadium go.  It was where I hit my first homer and we have had so many memorable games…Im gonna make sure that I get a stadium seat for my third son, Shea, so that we will have a momento.  Hopefully the new stadium will provide the same kind of atmosphere that the old one did.  I think it will.  I used to be a chicks fan but I’ve gotten a chance to hunt with some of the guys from RF, so I’ve become fans of theirs.”

Chipper on the Romance…

“Girls like the romance. Whatever u do, it better be original. Flowers and candy are nice, but every woman loves the bling. At least that’s what I’ve experienced. But what do I know, I haven’t had the best luck with the ladies.”

Chipper on the Mets getting Johan Santana

“Santana is as good as it gets.  There is no doubt that the Mets have a strong pitching staff, provided they all stay healthy.  I’ve faced him a couple of times and it’s no walk in the park.  Whoever we have pitching that night better bring his A game.  That being said, he is human.  Maybe we will get the game tapes from some of the Indians games last year.  They had pretty good success against him (5-0).”

…first of all, well done by Chipper Jones, who i love to hate…it’s difficult for me to give him compliments, but that was a pretty cool thing to do for his fans…also, as much as it infuriates me, i love that he stokes the rivalry between the Mets and Braves…he seems to appreciate it, from both sides…and i can dig that…
