The Braves have a lot of guy’s with potential youth, but a lot of it gets compromised by injuries, there unwillingness to pay out and some of their guy’s just haven’t developed. It’s hard to compare a trio to anyone similar to Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz. If they weren’t hurt as much as they were, they’d be a better team.

With Greg Maddux, I wouldn’t worry too much. The Dodgers got a decent pitcher in him for the rest of the year because of his desire to only play in southern California. Marlon Anderson predicted 92 wins would do it to win the NL East. The Mets got 68 wins with 37 games to go and are 1 1/2 ahead of Philadelphia. 24 win’s probably won’t be the magic number. Probably a little less. This team’s got to keep it rolling against these crappy-to-mediocre teams that are coming up. Unlike earlier in the year with Willie the brain, I’m pretty confident.

jorge campillo is having one of those year that can be comparable to what jorge sosa did with the braves. for some reason he is one of those journey men that once he puts on a braves uniform, he is all of a sudden a cy young against the mets.

the mets needs to go at least 5-2 against both the braves and the astros on this upcoming home stand. this mets team needs to give them some pay back. anything less than 5-2 is unacceptable.

so maddux is heading back to LA. in an important game, maddux will take himself out after say 80 pitches like usual and let the bullpen implode.

Speaking of Maddix…he’s headed back to LA. Frankly I’m losing track of “where in SoCal is Greg Maddux!”

Pummeling Maddux in Game 3 of the 2006 NLDS was the most underrated pleasure of that run, btw.

To add, does anyone in Atlanta, or the media in general, remember Maddux was not a product of the Braves system?

I tell you what though, Jo-Jo Reyes is like a young Derek Lilliquist.

my longer reply got deleted, but the bottom line is: I really don’t want to be the grammar police, but the willful refusal to factcheck, spellcheck, or check just about anything on this site has gotten pathetic.

Jorge Campillo’s line today:
Loss, 6.2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HR

This was to the Giants. A team that would have Luis Castillo hitting clean up.

I just find it odd that this blog links to that blog which links to other blogs. It almost seems a bit lazy. Didn’t they used to write up an around the league themselves here?
