So you respond to the truth with bad humor?

Atlanta always plays one step ahead of the other contenders in the division. The Mets (or Phils if they can get their goddamn shit together) might win the division but I seriously doubt it, the wildcard is the only way I can see an NL East team that's not Atlanta in the playoffs.

If Atlanta is behind the race in July I wouldn't count them out either, they're in danger of losing every year and always go on overdrive to win the division.

And that's why I love them.

You're right about one thing. Atlanta's better than Philly.

PS Last year the Braves were running away in the early summer and very nearly blew it late.

I'm going to the Mets game on Wednesday in DC and just got 4 box seats for Friday's game against Milwaukee. :)

That Wednesday game should be interesting. With Pedro landing every other pitch in his last start on Jose Guillen.

Nice on Friday too.

Well, almost without a doubt. A few better managerial desicions last year and the Phillies would've run with the division but I probably would've still given Atlanta the benefit of the doubt at being the better team.

On paper I might say Philadelphia and New York have better offense then Atlanta but they just can't match their pitching and that's why Atlanta wins every year.

Atlanta has no bullpen. Except when the top of Philly's order is making Reitsma look like Eric Gagne.

Can Utley hit the damn ball already?! He's on my fantasy team. BUM

Looks like Franceour is starting a sophomore slump but its still early in the season. The kid can't seem to catch a break.

He knows you're a Mets fan so that's why he's doing bad. Can you please take him off your team so that he can start hitting like he should be?

I don't know what's up, a lot of the Phillies players are playing like they're different people.
