August 1, 200521 yr I've followed the Marlins and MLB for a few years now, and I naturally have a sports hatred for Atlanta teams because of the (Saints/Falcons rivalry). But, the Marlins/Braves rivalry just intensifies it. Just when the Marlins rip off 8 wins in 10, the Braves go ahead and win 6 straight. How aggravating. I wish that team would lose out the rest of the season!
August 1, 200521 yr words can not describe my hatred for the braves but with that hatred comes profound respect. I imagine it's a lot like how Wes Mantooth feels about Ron Burgandy "I HATE YOU RON!..................But, damn it, I respect you" *kisses Burgandy on the forehead*
August 1, 200521 yr I don't think any true Marlins fan doesn't hate the Braves. But it is incredible what they do. It's as if any pitcher from that organization can pitch like a cy young hall of famer with them (Except Dan Kolb). I mean, look at them right now 24 Wilson Betemit ------ROOKIE 19 Adam LaRoche -------ROOKIE 4 Pete Orr ----------------ROOKIE 7 Jeff Francoeur ----------ROOKIE 18 Ryan Langerhans -----ROOKIE Yet they are again in first place in the NL East and I don't think anyone is going to catch them. Plus they are on National TV every weekend and I think they have a stronger fan base in Miami than the Marlins do. Much of my hate is envy but I always look forward and wait for them to fall apart in the play-offs.
August 1, 200521 yr As much as I hate the Braves, I admit they were my favorite team before the Marlins began playing in 93.

I'll take the wildcard every year

I'll take the wildcard every year 883404[/snapback] Betemit had 30 games of experience in the past 4 seasons LaRoche really isnt a rookie - he played last season, forgot about that Langerhans had 17 games of experience in the past 2 season By rookie I mean this is their first full season in the majors. No experience. I think that Betermint and Langerhans certaintly qualify.
August 1, 200521 yr I'm a Marlins fan, but being from Mississippi I find myself rooting for the Braves. It may be a conflict of interest, but so be it. 1) Marlins 2) Braves

Dont forget Kyle Davies whom has done well. Plus one or two others of their Pitchers that have done well. They are the patriots of MLB :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead I HATE YOU ATLANTA! Not just because my uncle, aunt and cousin rub it in my face every year. We will get you, oh yes we will
August 1, 200521 yr WOOHOO BRAVES LOSE....NOW THE FISH NEED TO BEAT THE CARDINALS *CLAP CLAP CLAP* :thumbup
August 1, 200521 yr Great loss! But man how about Zach Duke if the Pirates? 4-0 with a 0.92 ERA... he's going on my fantasy team right now...
August 1, 200521 yr YEAH. DOWN WITH THE BRAVES!!!! on a side note, how about Zach Duke???? kid could be the next D-train. just white...... back to braves bashing! :censored :censored :chair :chair :censored :chair :guillotine :hanged :owned :owned :weed :dwarf :dwarf :matrix :matrix :Smash :Smash k, now that that is out of my system. I'm really glad they finally lost.
August 1, 200521 yr Great loss! But man how about Zach Duke if the Pirates? 4-0 with a 0.92 ERA... he's going on my fantasy team right now... 883482[/snapback] i've had him for his last three starts :thumbup
August 1, 200521 yr The curse of Kyle Farnsworth has began for the Braves! 883436[/snapback] :lol Wasn't he a fish once?
August 1, 200521 yr This is how it's always been. As soon as the Marlins get it together and start winning games, so do the Braves. This has been going on since the beginning of time, it's mind boggling.
August 2, 200521 yr Not only have they been hitting with all those new guys in the lineup, they've also done it with a bunch of injuries to their starting pitchers. It's insane.
