Posted June 22, 200519 yr Some of you guys may remember this game from 2003. Wild Card used to run it. (whatever happened to that guy?) Here's how it works, it's real simple, you just pick the player you think will be the mvp of tomorrow's game, and for the first game I will determine who is the game's mvp. Even if we lose an MVP will be chosen. The next day we'll do the same thing only this time, the winner from the previous game will determine the MVP, and it will just continue on like that. And I'll keep a running total of the winners. If the MVP is chosen by two or more people than I'll flip a coin or have you pick a number or something. I'll PM the winner after every game. Hopefully this game can bring us a little 2003 luck... So get too choosing. :thumbup
June 22, 200519 yr I think I'm going to take Travis Smith. As a lifelong Braves fan now infiltrating the Marlins' boards, I can't believe you guys claimed him. We think Travis set the record for most homers surrendered while still being looked at as a decent pitcher. "Innings eater" = Crappy pitcher One question though, what's with McKeon? Reports on Braves broadcasts that unnamed Marlins players are upset with McKeon's managerial style and that they [FLA players] want McKeon canned. Personally, I love the way McKeon's organized this team, and I love the way you guys play the game. If it's not us this year, I for one would love to see you or the Nationals (a great hard-working squad) go all the way.. Then again, we could win the division again, and have you guys win the WC and run to a third ring - time will see.
June 22, 200519 yr I think I'm going to take Travis Smith. 820233[/snapback] Smith pitches on Saturday, he isn't going to play tomorrow. Thus, he can't be the MVP of the game. But welcome to the site.

June 22, 200519 yr But two years removed from a WS ring? I don't think McKeon suddenly forgot how to manage .. well, come to think of it, Pierre did suddenly forget how to hit - call it Rafael Furcal disease.. And some insider information from the Braves camp. Those close to the organization are beginning to think Eddie Perez's career may be done, and Hampton's absence could continue through the AS break. John Thomson has returned to longtoss and could join the rotation within a few weeks. As for Chipper, who knows? He's been plagued by these injuries the last few years .. a few more blows to his feet could be the end of his career. But with Brian McCann as reserve catcher, and the phenoms Andy Marte/Wilson Betemit, Chipper's absence isn't too huge of a proposition long-term. Look for the Braves to make a move for Cesar Izturis in the offseason and possibly shop Marte around in the offseason. Kelly Johnson is quickly becoming a star in one corner OF position as Brian Jordan's days are dwindling.
June 22, 200519 yr Lowell will break out with a 2-5 type game with a HR and some RBIs in a Marlins victory
June 23, 200519 yr If the winner is strictly limited to Marlins players, as the resident Braves fan, I win with my pick of Travis Smith, who had the best game tonight of any Marlins' player.
