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…

“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”…..?????
Me no understand Hoss speak…..
haha … seriously, what does that mean?????
a previous poster had asked whether he liked the dixie chicks. (not exactly the first question i would ask a player, but, whatever). no idea what the ‘guys from RF’ reference is about
RF is Rascal Flatts. So, in non-redneck speak, he used to like the Dixie Chicks, but he started to hang out in the woods with a bunch of guys, so now he likes their music.
Ohhhh i thought he meant right field…
Ohhhhh … thanks for the clarification guys!
Thanks for that. I couldn’t stomach sifting through the inbred feeding frenzy to read all the statements….
Wow, my nasty side really comes out anytime I talk about those people… I gotta get that checked out
wow, thanks for translating. Matt, you really should post that translation in your original post because its baffling.
I’m a huge country music fan and even I don’t listen to that rubbish.
Larry’s time is past. My time has come. Alright, I admit it Matt, I’m David W. and I read metsblog.
Haha Chipper Jones has a happy life blogging with his favorite fans
Yeah … I’d love to say “good for Larry,” but I can’t understand half of what he’s posting. Maybe “Hoss” is the “eggs in your shoes” feller?
Too bad “Hoss” isn’t more fun to chant.
Does this guy make first ballot HOF? I say he does..
Absolutely. I can’t stand him but he’s been one of baseball’s most underrated stars IMO for years.
You know, as I kept reading, I kept stopping and thinking to myself: “Hoss?”…I mean, really???
Anyway, the romance quote cracks me up, they probably love the bling from him because he uses his wealth to get the ladies. At least that is how I interpret that quote.
translation: women love when you have millions of dollars and buy them incredibly expensive things…..as if this wasnt common knowledge
Larry must have got beaten by the Eli Manning stick before he started posting… can’t understand either one of them when they start opening there mouths
That would be “they’re mouths.” Be careful when you criticize others…
LOL…make that “their mouths” don’t know what’s wrong with me this morning…
Like the Americans when they, you know, played the Russians and the Soviet Union.
Lord love Eli. He is such an odd duck.
He is a no doubt 1st Ballot HOF’er. He was the best player on all of most of those Braves division champions. Of course I yell “Larry” as loud as I can every time he comes to Shea, but he has that bad-ass mean streak that you want in your best player. And I hope one of our young stars names his kid “Citizen B.” one day!!!!! (I was in philly for 2 of those 4 painful days last August)
Aristo The Greek
You mean Sidd Bream wasn’t the best Brave? Or how about Julio Franco?
the guy is def a 1st ballot HOFer. hes also easily the best switch hitter of my generation.
As a guy playing against the Mets, i hate Chipper Jones with a disguste that amounts to absolute detastation!
But the more i hear him speak sometimes, the more i think he may be an OK guy after all, I mean when all the bad stuff went down with John Rocker, Chipper had been right in the middle of that, until Rocker went off the deep end, then chipper just kept his mouth shut.
Hall of Fame? Definitely. First ballot? I’d say probably not, although maybe he comes out smelling like a rose in the Steroid Era and that earns him extra points.
Not to take anything away from “Hoss,” but I think he’ll probably get the nod on his second go-round.
Then again, girls do like the romance …
As I’ve matured as a fan, I’ve developed a grudging respect for some of our opponents. You’ve gotta give Chipper credit for being cocky in the right way. I love the Shea stadium ribs. He does whine a bit much, but I think he relishes the rivalry, and as a fan of the game, you have to appreciate that. Players who play for the rivalry instead of as heartless mercenaries are what makes baseball so fun. Compare him to sour-pusses like Pujols and others so caught up in themselves that they miss the point.
100% dead-on. Players like him make a rivalry and he totally gets what makes the game so much fun for the fans.
He’s killed the Mets but there’s no doubt he is a great player.
I will actually miss him when he retires… fortunately, Jimmy Rollins seems to be stepping up to takeover his role.
I feel the saem for Chase Utley. I hate him because he’s a Phillie, but he’s a damn good ballplayer.
having a very hard time thats larry
Hoss?????
To expand on that, I didn’t know the Braves’ locker room had the same atmosphere as a truck stop.
I kinda assumed it did…
Chipper Jones, your most recent graduate of the Emmett Smith school of communication.
I feel my gene pool evaporating just trying to comprehend what the hell he’s talking about.
“He got . . . DEBACLED”
When I read the comments, I figured he was referring to Bobby Cox as Hoss. How can we be sure that he’s referring to himself. In the rest of the post, he refers to himself as “I”.
Or maybe he’s even referring to John Smoltz.
