I must say, I took personal satisfaction in watching the Mets go down last night. Seeing the excruciating pain on the fans faces made it that much more satisfying. Mets fans are always quick to point out how the Braves only have one WS Championship during their magical run, and how badly the Braves choke in the playoffs. Well, it isn’t much fun when it happens to your own team, now is it? :O)

Hey Met fans- you’re telling me you have gone to the playoffs for 1 straight year now and you can’t win the World Series?? Guess the season was a complete failure right? Because isn’t that what the last 14 years before this one was for the Braves? Don’t worry, next year we’ll have you sitting at home BEFORE the playoffs even begin. Enjoy your ONE year, because next year the Braves will again own the East.

Sympathy? HELL no. Condolences? Not in a million years! I mean, you can’t ask for a much better night than that… the Thrashers winning in shootout and the Mets LOOOOOOOOOOOSING… it was a beautiful thing!

Ok, ok… I have a hard time feeling sorry for Mets fans, I really do. Why? Here in Atlanta, we’ve had that same disgusting; hear trenching feeling every year since 1991, with the exception of 1995 of course. We’ve had that feeling for years. Granted, most of them aren’t Game 7 losses, but the feeling is mostly the same. Sure, it stings more because it was a Game 7 in their house… but, hey, they took our streak away, so I’m glad it was pretty much all for nothing for them…

I know exactly how Mets fans are feeling this morning. I’m sure a lot of them called into work “sick” because they had that empty feeling. And it doesn’t go away that quick, it stays with you for a few weeks.

But, no I feel no sympathy, no remorse; I do not feel sorry at all for Mets fans. I never have and I never will.

I was at a Braves vs. Mets game a couple of years ago at Shea, and one of the Braves players threw me a ball because they saw we were Braves fans… the ball landed underneath my seat, a Mets fan darts over me, lunges under the seat, punches me right in the eye, takes the ball, and runs away. What a punk!

Mets fans, when they come to Turner Field, are for the most part, obnoxious after they win a game; they act like they just won the World Series.

Mets fans, I feel your pain, and I understand…but I in no way or manner feel any sympathy or feel bad for you. I’m GLAD the Mets lost; it’s exactly how I wanted the NLCS to end up.

Mets fans - Hey, no pain, no gain. If you guys are any good, you’ll be back next season… no, wait… what am I talking about?!? The Braves will take back their Division Title and be back in the playoffs!

GO BRAVES!!!!!!!!

Mets fans should have even MORE of a reason to hate us Braves fans…

The Cardinals have the Braves to thank for even being in the playoffs. They were down and out at the time and, had the Astros won vs. the Braves , they might have ended up in the playoffs and not the Cards. They better be thankful to the Braves for taking care of the Astros for them. They had also better be very thankful to the Braves organization, Wainwright was our prospect.

If it wasn’t for the Braves getting sweet, cold revenge on the Astros, the Astros may have ended up in the playoffs, and that being the case, I bet the Mets would have easily beaten the Astros. So, Mets fans, yeah, you have even more reason to hate the Braves :P

Oh, a mastercard commercial I love those! how clever and original. I will play along…

13,666.00 million for a declining, adulterer, injury prone, roid head and clubhouse cancer

13,500.00 million for a chubby, lazy, underachieving guy with a goofy grin on his face at all times

14,475.00 million for a noodle armed pitcher who will probably never play effectively ever again

6,750.00 million for an overrated pitcher that was good for another team, but was ruined when brought into this lazy non-competitive environment

11,000 million for an over the hill, outspoken, selfish player.

The effect these 5 playes will have to your payroll, and ability to sign players and ever compete again….

Also if you are even smart enough to know who these 5 are let me know. First correct answer gets a ziplock bag full of Bobby Cox’s boogers.

Hey Ryan….I wonder if they’re referring to Willie Randolph the same way they always refer to Bobby Cox, a playoff choker…what stupid decisions he made yesterday, trying to relive the Kirk Gibson moment with Cliff Floyd (HA!) and Beltran looking like a complete idiot on that called strike three. Thank you Wainwright, it’s a shame we’ll never see him in a Braves uni, but to put the Mess away once and for all proves once again it’s not about how much money you spend but how much heart you have. St. Louis won this series on heart.

The Mets tried to buy a title and now they and the Stankees can sit at home together to watch two teams with heart play for the title! Go F* Yourselves Ryan and all New York fans! Atlanta will get their title back next year! Believe it!

As much as I loved to see the Mets and their obnoxious fans go down I have to admit they showed alot of heart getting as far as they did with all of their injury problems.

Hey Ryan, do you know what is really being prepared and served for the Braves and their fans? Nice hot SATISFACTION that your dreams of a World Championship were crushed with one beautiful third strike to Beltran, who had been a hitting terror the entire postseason but choked at the moment of truth. Why don’t you go cry some more and get off the Braves blog, while keeping in mind that the Braves are not responsible for your pathetic team choking at the worst possible moment. Don’t worry, though. Your tender little hearts will not be broken next year because the Mutts will be back in the cellar where they belong, and the Braves will be back on top. GO BRAVES!

Third, the over-hype for all things NY has once again been exposed…Yankees, Mets and soon the NY Giants. Only a hobbled STL lineup would have allowed this series to go 7 games.

As I said back in July on this same blog, the Mets would not go to the WS. But not for the reason I gave, which was that Pedro would be your only quality starter and the rest of the staff would implode. Silly me, the rest of the Mets staff actually gave them a chance but just like poor marksmen the Mets just could’t score when it counted. To see Beltan’s knees buckle and the bat never leave his shoulder on that 0-2 pitch….oh, I still get shivers….it was beautiful. If I had been at Shea I would have gotten drunk licking the bitter tears of anguish from the cheeks of those sub-humanoid sacks of protoplasm called Mets fans. I don’t care what you say Met fan, YOU CHOKED….HARD. As a life long Brave fan, I know choking when I see it. It wasn’t quite as bad as 96 against the Yankees, but this was on par with the Braves collapse against the Phillies in ‘93.

The Mets may as well not even show up next season because this loss will leave them with a terrible hangover. The Braves haven’t been the same since ‘96 and since the Mets faithless will stew, and stammer, and seathe, and loathe, and hate all winter, most of the Mets themselves won’t be able to stand Shea stadium anymore. Beltran is done for sure. News flash for Mets fans, you aint the Yankees and there is no next year. I can’t wait to see it all unravel like the worlds largest cable knit sweater.

SUFFER HARD…B!tches!

No sympathy here but you have to admit that Omar Minaya put together a good team, albeit by spending a lot of money on high priced talent. They do still have a strong home grown nucleus with Reyes and Wright up the middle. And Lastings Milledge will plug a hole for them in the outfield next year if he isn’t traded for a veteran in the off-season. I admit, it was great to see watery eyed Mets fans watch the not so talented Cardinals celebrate at Shea. Because as some of you have admitted, those fans are the main reason for loathing the Mets. Being a Braves fan since Murph was patrolling right field has given me the insight to understand that while it is nice to spend a day or two gloating at the expense of the Mets, we still need to focus on generating some excitement for the 2007 Braves. Beltran looking at a called third strike from Wainwright to end the Mets’ season was nice, but it doesn’t make up for a horrible June in my eyes. So the bottom line: The Mets spent a lot of money for nothing (It’s all about World Series rings, right Mets fans?). But they are still the team that’s in our way for next year.

As a Cards fan in St. Louis, I was looking for a place to send my thanks to the Braves. I found this as a good place to post. By beating Houston two out of three on the final weekend. Not only did you ensure us going to the playoffs but we were able to set up Carp to pitch twice in the first round to beat the Padres. I didn’t know there were so many Mets haters here but I like it. Adam Wainwright is a class act and I would like to thank John Smoltz for being a good mentor.

Before the final series of the regular season, Wainwright sent a text to Smoltz, Francoeur, and McCann how this was so big to everybody in the city of St. Louis and how we were pulling for the Braves. Franceour sent a simple text back after you took care of the Astros “You’re Welcome.” Thanks again and I hope everybody appreciated the Tomahawk Chop that we performed on the last day of the regular season. Good luck to the Braves in the future.

I must admit that I took perverse pleasure in watching the Mutts lose at home…to see the crybaby faces of their fans as they sat in disbelief while the Cardinal’s celebrated on the field….

I wouldn’t dislike the Mutts near as much if it weren’t for the Mutts fans….I know “lumping” all fans together isn’t right, for they aren’t all like this, but my experience with the Mutts fans that come to Atlanta is that they are rude, obnoxious, and look at them playing crybaby and blaming the umpires saying that the games were rigged.

You got outpitched….your star couldn’t get the bat of his shoulders and watched a 3rd strike go by…your closer blew game 2, then almost let game 6 get away, which is why he wasn’t pitching in the 9th, cause there was no confidence in him….the Cardinals WON, they weren’t given a gift, they played better, they pitched better and they wanted it more.

Good luck to the Cards, but I’ll be cheering the Tigers on…if the Cards win it all, it won’t sadden me, at least I can enjoy the series for the 3rd year in a row thanks to the absence of NY teams and their obnoxious fans.

I was never so happy to see a team go down in flames as I was to see the Mutts last night. as soon as it was announced that Martinez and Hernandez were done, I knew the Mutts were as well, and I rejoiced heartily in that. I had said most of the season (including several times in this space) the Mutts would fall apart at some point, if for no other reason than the mere fact that they are the Mutts.

I’m not disappointed one bit. The pride has been restored and I will remember game 7 for a long time. Not the big 1st round game five you guys are so proud of but a game 7 that meant everything. If you think you wont see these guys on a bigger stage next year you are so mistaken. THANK YOU METS FOR DRIVING BRAVES FANS CRAZY ALL THE WAY TO THE END!

Braves fans are an interesting breed. They hate on other organizations instead of worrying about their own. Unlike Braves fans, I tip my hat to the Cards, they earned the win. My Mets have not failed at all in my mind, in fact, we are back!! From not making the playoffs in five years to the NLCS? I’ll take it!! Instead of 100 win regular season and a first round fold like the LOCAL team does. We have a young team, a strong manager, solid ownership AND the cash to back it all up. Our pitching was suspect all year long, then we lose TWO starters before the playoffs, we were not the favorites in the Dodger series and we STILL make the NLCS? We already have the bats and the defense, so just add one or two good pitchers and I guarantee, we’ll see ya again next year. I’m a proud and happy NYM man, BELIEVE IT!!

The Mets lose on a strikeout in the bottom of the ninth with the sacks loaded. The only thing that could be finer would be for the DAWGs to lose to Vandy on homecoming. Oh wait, they already did it.

The Mets are the team that employ Tom Benedict Arnold Glavine so they ain’t getting no tears from me. Now the Tigers will fold the Cards and their fans will burn down Detroit.

Oh yeah, congradulations to the cards and especially Suppan. They wanted it more than Beltran and it hurts but like I said the pride has been restored. Did you even see any cards fans at the game? When was the last playoff game here where you actually had home field? I saw nothing but passionate fans who felt the teams pain on a devastating loss. Thats something this city will never be able to embrace without banwagon 1991 riders. METS IN 07.

Hey Thin Guy, you’re a moron like most here in the ATL, let me explain why. I can understand hatin’ on the Mets but…. GLAVINE IS THE REASON YOU HAVE THE ONE RING YA GOT!! You can hate the team but you should still respect the man. Oh yeah, and didn’t the Mets offer more money the the Braves? I guess you wouldn’t leave your job if another company offered YOU more money?? Yeah, I thought so….

sounds like big ol’ sour grapes to me Fulton. ROTFLMA - what a choke by the Mets. Best team ever and can’t make the series!

Rooted for the Mets. Was proud of the way Tom Glavine handled himself. Reminded me of our earlier Atlanta days at playoff time. BUT am hoping the Braves get themselves righted (i.e. competent releif pitching) in the offseason and stomp the Mets this next season!

GO BRAVES!

If I were to be decent I would congratulate the Mets on overcoming so many hurdles to get this far. A team that loses two starting pitchers and a slugging left fielder has much to overcome to get that far.

If I were to be a Mets type fan however, I would probably spew something like: “The Mets never can win the big one. What a bunch of chokers.” or “What a loser Willie Randolph is since he has no titles to his credit as manager.” or “The Muts bullpen is the worst in baseball. Billy Wagner pitched like a Class A reject. Come back when you get rid of all those rag arms.”

But out of respect to our old buddies Tom Glavine, Julio Franco, and Michael Tucker, I will contain myself.

Trash talking Braves fans?! What a joke, the Mets fans wrote the verse, the book and the Bible on that, please give it a rest. If you are a Met fan, take your friggin medicine because you have been slinging it since spring training. I haven’t heard this much BS about “We’re winning the World Series” and “We’re the best team in baseball” since..ummm…1987. Friggin Mark, Rob, Ryan, you all need to go back into your cave until you win another division title and that will be in another what…19 years? Face it you crowed about being the best in baseball and you couldn’t even beat a badly banged up Cardinal squad that didn’t even get a win from their ace. YOU BLEW IT BIG TIME. You invested 10 years in David Wright who disappeared in the playoffs and your $15 million superstar locked up with the bases loaded, 2 outs, bottom of the ninth, GAME 7, AND HE DIDN’T EVEN OFFER AT THE BALL. Where’s Francisco Cabrera when you need him huh?

You may be back and you may not but I remember there was a lot of talk out of New York of a Met dynasty after 1986 and we all know how long that lasted.

And LOSERVILLE? Do something about the Kincks (THE KNICKS!!??) and Rangers and Jets AND GIANTS before you start throwing that smack around. You guys do everything bad TWICE!!! New York only has the $1 Billion Yankees to show as bonified winner. Think a little before you start to show your ignorance, you may reconsider.

And as far as the Bandwagon Braves fans are concerned we all know where you came from…GO HOME…or better yet just don’t show up to the games you make our city look bad with your apathy towards the home teams. I’d rather be a one or two team city with some actual passion for the team than a team in every sport with a bunch of apathetic milk-toast transplant fans.

I’m a die hard MET fan and had a plane ticket and WS tickets to Game 4. It’s dissapointed but don’t pitty us.. We choked and stunk in ever sense of the word.. pretty boy wright is no Jeter and Met fans call a spade a spade.. we don’t sure coat anything.. and yes anything less than a WS Ring is a failure b/c we have higher expectation that Braves fan will ever have… Although, it’s good to see some passion from the Bravos fan (postings).. now if you could just inject some of that same passion into bobby cox and the jones boys you might win something.. oh sorry, I forgot you have 14 straight division titles.. my bad..

Let’s see…Cards make the playoffs thanks to the BRAVES beating Houston…then Cards embarrass the Mets (dude, if that guy just standing there with the bat on his shoulder watching the third strike in a game 7 isn’t embarrassing, I don’t know what is)…so, the Mets plopped thanks to, that’s right, THE BRAVES! YAY! We may not have won every game, but when it counted, we beat those Astros to send those Cards to the Mets! SEASON REDEEMED! ‘nuff said!
