Mike Pelfrey got his first win and he looked good getting it. The Mets were able to hold off the Atlanta Braves and win two straight. The life of a baseball fan is crazy and the life of a Met fan is even crazier. The Mets were handled very well by the Philadelphia Phillies, who took four in a row. The Phills are a team the Mets should have been able to handle.
Following the four game sweep, the Mets had the misfortune of going to Atlanta. Atlanta, the team that with the exception of last year, has owned the Mets. Atlanta, the team that has taken two out of three games from every set the two teams had played so far this year. Atlanta, the team that would be facing Mike Pelfrey, a pitcher who had yet to get a win this year. Atlanta, the name that strikes fear into the hearts of Mets fans, even when we have a better team.
After winning the first game of the series on Friday night, I expected the Braves to win the next two. But, that did not happen. Maybe the Mets were truly embarrassed and knew they had to perform. Maybe the Braves are playing so poorly right now they cannot even beat the team they have owned. Maybe, it is a little bit of both. Maybe it is neither. Still, what did happen was the Mets won yesterday and that gives them the chance to sweep the series today.
I am not sure how I will feel if the Mets lose today. Hopefully it will not happen. Still regardless of what happens, the Mets will leave Atlanta still in sole possession of first place (something I had serious doubts Thursday night and Friday during the day). It would be great to see the Mets sweep the Braves in Atlanta during the month of September.
Let’s Go Mets!

Ok, listen up morons. I've been a fan since 1972. I took a company transfer to Atlanta in March. I'm right here in the belly of the beast. I was at the game yesterday. Another couple we know flew down from NY on a 6:00 to catch the game. You would have all been very proud of how we were relentless in our torture and non stop humilation of those self entitled sons of bitches. When we had two outs in the ninth I screamed out" Look the lights just came on and the cock roaches are scattering" The Braves scum were heading for the exits. When we had nailed down the win. We screamed at the tops of our lungs,"Who's who's bitch now?" "Who's your Daddy now, you sons of bitches?" I was on field level for game six in 86 and until yesterday had not been at a game as satisfying. You can all rest assured that anyone who was sitting within ten rows of us went home contemplating suicide. You can all thank me another time.
Sounds like a good time!
typical New York jerk...probably everyone was running away from your vicinity; we don't like your type down here -- no manners, no class, but we don't really expect you to know how to behave...
