Braves vs. Mets
Written by Rue on May 11, 2009 – 6:42 pmThis week in New York, how will Atlanta match up against division rivals, the Mets? After a strong showing in Philadelphia (who doesn’t like to be the World Champ’s Kryptonite), how will the Chipper-less braves match up against the Metropolitans?
Today, Derek Lowe pairs up against Johan Santana. The Mets have had strong showings behind Santana this season, and the Braves are 1-5 when Jones isn’t playing. Keep an eye on Martin Prado, though, because his numbers are more impressive than you may think. And today the Mets are without Carlos Delgado. What do you expect to see?

Hopefully the Braves can manage to pull this one out. We need a win against the Mets.

Good to see the Braves pick up a win without Chipper. Hopefully Diaz can have more nights like tonight and prove we don't need Anderson.

Well, I looked stupid last weekend weekend when I wrote the "Braves Are Sleeping Giant" piece… but they're making me look a little better now. =) GREAT win tonight. If the Braves can get a win tomorrow behind Jurrjens, they'll actually have a chance at a sweep in Queens. How beautiful would that be?! Win tomorrow, and the Braves go OVER .500, and will be no more than 1 game out of first. Go Braves!!
