Seems kind of fitting for the Mets to beat the Braves in Atlanta on Chipper Jones appreciation night.



I hope we come back and win though.

I think Allen Craig might be a top 5 hitter in the NL, pound for pound.

In 114 games, 140 hits, 22 homeruns, and 91 rbi's. .306/.356/.530

Only getting paid $495k this year. Crazy.

he has been killing the ball since 23 in the minors wonder why is took so damn long for them to give him a spot

They were all stuck on Lance Berkman, had nowhere to put him.

But now Lance is officially looking

Braun 40-30. #MVP

Molina is the best defensive player at his position though. Most important position on the field. On a playoff team (which doesn't fully matter to me, but it does to voters).

I think it goes Molina/Posey, Braun, McCutchen. Though I know Molina will probably finish 4th or 5th in voting.

Molina is no where near the MVP discussion.

Braun is the MVP. He won't win it because the voters won't vote for him, but he's the MVP, and I honestly don't think it's really a debate.

I wouldn't say "nowhere near", c'mon man. Top 5 in six offensive categories, best defensive player, fourth in WAR (.2 behind leader), on a playoff team ...

Yeah, the steroid thing is going to cost him. He's been on fire after the ASB though, it's incredible the numbers he's putting up.

Tigers just took a brutal loss.

Buster Posey is probably going to win the MVP

Bryce Harper’s ridiculous 19-year-old season in perspective

Buster Posey is probably going to win the MVP

Braun should win
