Drew22 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Since 1962 its Mets 2 Braves 1And the Champiionships in Boston and Milwaukee dont really count any more. How would they not count? It's not like they got a completly new team. It is still the BRAVES. They did not start over completly. ThereforeBraves- 3Mets-2End of arguement.

OnWis97 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Since 1962 its Mets 2 Braves 1And the Champiionships in Boston and Milwaukee dont really count any more. How would they not count? It's not like they got a completly new team. It is still the BRAVES. They did not start over completly. ThereforeBraves- 3Mets-2End of arguement. As a franchise that is the end of the argument, but I seriously doubt too many people from Atlanta hang their hats on the Milwaukee/Boston successes.For example, the Twins have 2 championships. That's all I think about. I am aware that the Nationals won in 1924, but it does nothing for me. I am from Minnesota, not DC.The biggest difference is that the Twins franchise changed its name, unlike the Braves franchise--but that is pretty non-substantive. Washington Nationals (of old) are to the Twins as Milwaukee Braves are to Atlanta Braves.I would almost think a Brewer fan (if he/she is pretty old) would get more from the Milwaukee Braves championship than an Atlanta fan.So while I do not agree with Tank that "they don't count," I do see his point.(if you root, root, root for the home team, I suppose there could be some people that just liked the Braves in all cities.

Tazz013 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 At the end of this season, it'll have been 2,430 games since the Pittsburgh Pirates last saw post-season action... or had a winning record.AND COUNTING! Actually, it will only be 2199 for the Pirates. Brewers Fan says it's been 3817 games since we've been to the playoffs. Save the slugalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eye Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 ok see you in 2020 Yeah, you wish. Actually it would be 2019 for those of us who can count, Tank. 2006, '07, '08, '09, '10, '11, '12, '13, '14, '15, '16, '17, '18, 2019 would be 14 years and the equivalent of the Atlanta Braves 14 consecutive division titles if the Mets were to win 14 consecutive years.

Eye Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Well, to be honest, while the Braves have been good during their run they haven't been THAT great. In 1991 they won the NL West by 1 game over Los Angeles and lost in the World Series to the Twins. In 1992 they won the division by 8 games and lost in the World Series to the Blue Jays. In 1993 the Braves won 104 games, which was arguably theie best regular season during their run of division titles. However, after this season when baseball went to three divisions and the wild card I think the Braves' division was not as hard to win. In 1994 the Expos looked like they were going to win the division as they were up by six games, but you never know. I think that starting in 1994 and having the one year removed from expansion Florida Marlins, the soon to be Expos who would be in limbo, the Phillies who were beginning their decline of not making the playoffs which is still going on today, and the Mets who did not make the playoffs from 1989-1998 and since 2001 the NL East has not been the toughest division to win in baseball. That's not to say the Braves' run of division titles is not impressive, but as soon as the Marlins became good, they had firesales, and the Expos were selling off players left and right and had no owner. Right there, that basically eliminates two teams from division contension. The Braves were always in the playoffs and probably should have won more than one World Series, but it never did surprise me that they only were able to win one World Series.

Cyclopsis Joe Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Is it true that now the Yankees will have the longest *current running* streak of Division wins?If So, thanks Mets, now we get to listen to THAT crap.If not, the Mets still play in "Flushing".

No, it's the Mets fault that while they're celebrating, all the fans of the other team in New York get more ammo as to why they are the best team in baseball.Scratch that, best team in any sport, anywhere.

meetthemets Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 last time I checked the Mets were the best team in baseball, but I am just basing that on their record compared to everyone else. I'm sure you'll probably find some excuse as to why I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 They play in the National League... they are the best team in the NL, not in baseball. As of 2308GMT...Team W L Pct.Mets 82 49 .626Tigers 83 51 .619Mets are the best team in MLB...by percentage points. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

meetthemets Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 sorry, i was under the impression that the best record in baseball meant you were the best team in baseball. i guess that's not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew22 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 sorry, i was under the impression that the best record in baseball meant you were the best team in baseball. i guess that's not the case. Sadly, the AL is much better than the NL. The Tigers are playing IMO in the tuffest division in baseball they play teams like Chicago, the Twins, and Yankees. The Mets don't.
