It could be worse--you could be 0-4 and 4 games behind the Baltimore Orioles.

More importantly, what's up with Manny? I do understand why he retired but to leave in that way will no doubt tarnish his legacy. He has HOF numbers but shouldn't there be more than that to get enshrined?

 

[PT Stewie]

He will not get in with the the taint of banned substances. The HOF voters have made that pretty clear,

My reading is that he did not think he could compete at the MLB level without the help so he retired.

It's not so much the Braves, it's just the Mets finding creative ways to lose.

Great way to start tonight with the Beckett of old facing the always tough Cliff Lee. I may have to go to a sports bar as it is not being carried locally on cable.

That's Little Chooch he comes from a long line of catchers his great grandfather had a minor league contract with the Red Sox and his mother "nails' wore the tools of ignorance in the group four (largest schools) state finals for softball.

I wonder how many people here would even know what "the tools of ignorance" are if you hadn't mentioned the word "catcher".
