If the Mets continue to show this much discipline at the plate, they will win a lot more games than most people think.

And getting quality starts will help too.

Ladies and gentlemen, your first place New York Mets.

I'm using that for as long as I can. Regardless of it being the start of the season, that was a rather dominant sweep of the Braves. Atlanta didn't have a lead in any of the games, and the bullpen looked surprisingly strong.

The Braves need to get their **** together. They look no different from last year.

Didn't take Ozzie long to have to apologize for something he said, did it?

"I love Fidel Castro. I respect Fidel Castro".

My God Ozzie, think before you speak sometimes.

It's too bad Ozzie didn't do something they could sweep under the carpet instead, like a DUI.

Reading the context in which he said it, it makes a bit more sense, but still... there are just some things you don't say, and especially not in Miami.

Yeah, even for a guy like Ozzie who speaks his mind and doesn't hold back and for that I think he's a fairly unique character to have as a manager of a baseball team, but still, there are lines you just don't cross and Ozzie just crossed it.

It's one thing to feel that way, I really don't care what his opinion is on Fidel Castro, but he shouldn't have told the world that even if it was in context with something else. He might as well could have said Hitler instead of Castro. He's making a great impression in Miami, that's for sure and it's only the first week of the season.

In a way, it's funny that the manager of the team with the offensive uniforms says something offensive.

He's making a great impression in Miami, that's for sure and it's only the first week of the season.

He wouldn't be any worse off saying "Go F*** Yourself Miami!" at this point.

ken rosenthal said the blizzard should be suspended for a month lol. get the **** outta here son.

Ozzie desrves to be called a dumbass for it by as many people in Miami as want to do it. Nothing else.

Also, Bobby V. needs to be called a dumbass for the infield shift on Fielder. Don't do **** just because it works on other lefty home-run hitters.
