Bravos!

Braves > Phillies, Expos, Marlins, Mets.

Braves once again.

Mark it down - the Mets will fire either Art Howe or GM Steve Phillips and trade most of their "stars" by the All-Star break. :wave:

I have to agree with that. Although I think Phillips has gotten a bad rap as G.M. So the guy's kind of a goof-ball, but he went out and signed the best players available all of whom had great track records before coming to New York. But those guys just didn't perform. Can't blame it on him. I think he will either get the ax or resign this year though. As far as Art Howe, I think is a great manager who came into a bad situation. He should stay too.

I agree that they will trade some of their star players this year too. I wouldn't be surprised if they do like Cleveland did and scrap their best players and go with youngsters for the time being.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Welcome to last place Tom Glavine"

I agree. He had a great thing going out in Oakland. I still can't understand why he left all that talent to go to New York.

The Mets are kinda like the Dodgers and Orioles of about 5 years ago. They both went out and got a bunch of free agents and tried to by a championship. Those guys just didn't mesh as a team. The Mets don't either.

I can't either. Oakland was a place were he could win a World Series. Plus he had the support of the Oakland fans. Now he comes to one of Baseball's worst teams, and the fans despise him. I don't get it either.

Yeah, Mets fans are terrible. I can see them booing guys like Burnitz and Vaughn, but they are even booing Mike Piazza this year. That's ridiculous. It's not his fault they are losing. He hustles on every single play.

That's just the way they are. They wonder why they can't catch the Braves every year, and I think one reason is that they don't create a home-field advantage at Shea Stadium. Nobody has a home-field advantage if they're own team is rooting against them.
