Sucks to see Chipper out, but seing Marte will be nice.

My thoughts exactly. I'm pretty excited to see how Marte will fair.

This could be good for the Braves lettign Marte showcase his talent for a possible trade.

Trade? No frickin way man. We're not the Yanks,

[love_that_reefer]

We? How many teams do you root for anyway? Pick a team already. Marte has been rumored to go elsewhere for a bat or closer.

LOL @ trading Marte for a closer.. Marte is the best prospect in the Braves system and one of the best in the entire league. I would be pissed as hell if Atlanta dealt him for some quick fix. He is the future. Think Rolens or Beltre.

Good job on stealing Hammer's line. Dude, go **** yourself; which teams I root for is none of your ****ing business.

Marte hit a sac fly, Braves up 2-0.

Great job of explaining why you root for these teams. That would have been a lot more helpful than just cursing me, but what else would I expect.

I didn't think you wanted a life story, but since you do, I'll give it to you.


It's 1994; I just got cable (in Ukraine, not US!). Put on ESPN, see something about guys hitting balls with bats...start watching (it was a Braves-Mets game). COntinue to watch it for 5 years, develop a liking to the Braves and Yanks. Move here, to NYC, like the Yanks and Braves. What's wrong with that? Besides, it doesn't hurt to have a class team in the Braves.

See that was much better wasn't it. Thanks for the rep point

Chipper will be out for 3-4 weeks. Not good.

Better than it could have been! We get to see Marte for a few weeks and then the Braves will get their Chipper back.

Ok so let's say Marte kicks ass, what happens to Chipper when he comes back? Try him at first to cut down on injuries and trade LaRoche? Or for now stick Marte in the OF?
