Go Braves! err well I wish anyways =\ they havent really been relevant since the 90's



Are you joking? The Braves have been contending for the last several years.



contending for what?
1 playoff appearance (lost) in 6 years isn't what i would call contending.

as far as Pujols comments...his numbers have declined over the last few years, and while still a great player, he just doesn't seem to fit the 1st to 3rd philosophy.
it's also not my original thought, heard it plenty of times.



but but... espn said he was god!

Sincerely,
Top 10 nfl draft pick Jimmy Claussen.


I will never forget that they stationed a camera on him with friends and family and that call just never seemed to come, lol....

lol. Look at Pujol's stats. He's the best hitter since Ruth. Even with his numbers declining, he's still been the best hitter out there for several years.

Oh, can't forget he dominated in last years playoffs to win a world series.

I don't get my baseball info from ESPN. There are many many better sources.

But don't worry, a career .328 hitter, 445 HR's and over 1300 RBI's is only ESPN. He didn't actually do those things.

Ugh, casual baseball fans are among the dumbest fans of any sport. Contending as in being in the hunt for a division title.

once in 5 years Pujols has hit his career average.

Atlanta contending for division since their last division crown in 2005.

2011 13 games back
2010 6 games back
2009 7 games back
2008 20 games back
2007 5 games back
2006 18 games back

take your casual fan BS and shove it...OH...and who cares about a DIVISION crown?

Hey, remember when Seattle was running away with their division!

So they were in contention most of those years. And contention doesn't mean where they finished. Last year the M's lost 17 in a row. Putting them out of contention!

That's like calling the Pirates a contender the past 4 years... We've been in the hunt up until the last 1/4 of the season for the past 4 years... then Nutting starts his firesales.
