LOL, if that was true, I'd burn every Braves thing I had.

I ain't Spike, but the Mets won yet again today.

Spike, I literally screamed when I saw your little article that said we re-aquired Dan Kolb. Thank God the next line said we traded Francoeur and then I knew it was a joke.

I actually thought it was true until I saw the players that we traded away to get him.

I'm not worrying with the Mets anymore.

Look on the bright side, you'll still finish ahead of Florida and keep that streak alive.

Take this for what it's worth but Bill Shanks has said that he will be shocked if we have the same 25 man roster tomorrow.

I'm about ready for something to happen. Not sure it'll be a trade, though.

With Thomson and Ramirez uncertain for their next starts, Chuck James will probably be recalled soon... Villarreal should probably be sent down... Jordan's done, I'd like to see him cut and Scott Thorman brought up. Don't know if Schuerholz would actually do that, though...

Going back to Atlanta, I'm hoping they at least shake things up a bit.
