To all Phillies and Braves fans: Please explain to me how the Phillies and Braves are better than the Mets?
Question:As a Met fan, I'd like to hear reasons why your Phillies and/or Braves are better than my Mets. I personally think that my Mets are the team beat in the NL East given the fact that we won the division last season and have one of, if not, the best lineups in baseball. As a calm Met fan, I have absolutely have no beef with the Braves or Phillies. The only problem I have is trying to understand Jimmy Rollins' logic in him saying that the Phillies are the team to beat. The Braves had won 14 division titles in a row and the Mets won the division easily last season and are one of, if not, the best teams in all of baseball. The Phillies on the other hand haven't been to the playoffs since '93 and always fall short.
P.S. Jose Reyes is so awesome

Who has the best overall hitting statistics in baseball history.?
I'm not sure how they do it, but somehow they seem to get it done...steroids?Why is it that only one active player in MLB (the Yankee's Mariano Rivera) wears #42?
Mets are better than both of those teams.I am not a Met fan, nor am I a Braves or Phils fan, but all I can say is that Both the Braves and Phils are younger than the Mets overall.
What players in the Eastern League of the minor leagues is worth getting an autograph?
The Braves and Phillies are not better than the METS. The Mets do however have serious SP issues which would make it tough for them to beat certain teams in a 7 game series. Playoffs are a whole new world and you need several good starters. This all after a long season for the older guys on the Mets like Glavine and Pedro.Mets are a better regular season team. They are not build for the playoffs yet.
Who Is A Better Closer - Rivera or Hoffman?
The mets have one Glaring weakness however. their pitching staff is sub-par at best. That might be their downfall.If you ask me, the Braves are the best team ever. They had Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Warren Spahn, John Rocker, and Chipper Jones. What's not to love about the Braves?
What would you rather see at a major league baseball game?
Well, I'm a Braves fan and I dont necessarily think we're better but here's the case I make for my Braves.1. Younger Pitching: We have Smoltz, who is old but like Glavine, he still has good stuff. Hudson is younger than Pedro Martinez and is due a bounceback season. Chuck James is one of the best young pitchers in baseball and Mike Hampton will be back from injury before you know it. Pedro's hurt and El Duque is older than dirt.
2. Revamped bullpen: The Braves biggest weakness last year was the bullpen. With Soriano and Gonzalez and Wickman, that's fixed.
3. Younger overall lineup: Delgado, Valentin, Lo Duca, and others on the Mets are beginning to peak or fall off the other side of the mountain. But the Braves have lots of good young players who are producing now and will only get better. McCann, Francoeur, Langerhans, Johnson, Thorman, Diaz, you get the point.
So there's my arguments. Hope you got what you're lookin for.
