Comments on: Willie in the Afternoon: On facing the Braves this early in the season. http://mets.lohudblogs.com/2008/04/04/willie-in-the-afternoon-on-facing-the-braves-this-early-in-the-season/ All about the Mets Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:08:38 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: dave http://mets.lohudblogs.com/2008/04/04/willie-in-the-afternoon-on-facing-the-braves-this-early-in-the-season/comment-page-1/#comment-38870 dave Fri, 04 Apr 2008 22:49:19 +0000 http://mets.lohudblogs.com/2008/04/04/willie-in-the-afternoon-on-facing-the-braves-this-early-in-the-season/#comment-38870 I read somewhere that after the Braves made their late year trades they became favorites to win last year. They did not, but the talent is still there. They have a good team. A stiff battle is always good to have. It makes you tougher which with this team is a good thing. As many said here last year they did a lot of sleeping is 07. I read somewhere that after the Braves made their late year trades they became favorites to win last year.

Last year, in the first series, the Metsies lost two of three and they should have swept the Braves. They had leads in all three games but blew them. That Saturday game they committed 2 or 3 errors and the Sunday game the bats went silent and made Kyle Davies look like a Cy Young candidate and Heilman ended up blowing the game in the 8th. You could see their complacency that early last season. Let's see if they have that killer instinct they really lacked last season. Even if they lose a game or two, I just want them play with purpose and energy and focus. I want to see them fight in this series... Let’s hope they go in with a little purpose for this series.

What's the over/under on how many times Willie uses the word "battled" this weekend I'll set the number at 7 That’s Willie he has his finger on his teams pulse.

Why are they making a big deal of this series? If they have a bad weekend what are they going to do about it? Nothing.
