| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01  | ATLANTA (AP) -- Gary Sheffield was traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday for Brian Jordan, Odalis Perez and a minor league pitcher. This could be bad news for the Mets pitching staff, even though Brian Jordan owned us, especially in the latter part of the season.  I believe in the Faith... that can save me. I believe in the hope and I pray... That someday it may raise me... above these badlands Over The Limit | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | As a Dodger fan, I'm not sure I really like that trade. Sheff's bat is obviously very good, but he was underrated as an OF and had a very good arm. LA is in need of pitching though so hopefully Perez can turn out to be the pitcher he was projected to be when he was in the minors. -------------------------- E-Mail me HERE AIM ME AT : OA AfdB | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | All i have to say is...SHIT!!!!!! Guess the Braves have the best OF in the NL now, with Sheffield, and the Jones's. The Mets REALLY better get a pitcher soon, they gotta finish the deal for Astacio ASAP. Go Knicks, Giants, Rangers, and Rutgers Men's Basketball Long Live Psycho Bitch | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Weren't all the papers saying AOL/Time warner wasn't going to spend money? Oh yeah, they were able to dump Jordan's rediculous salary. It sux to be a Mets fan (and Braves Hater)  | ||||

Seriously though if the Mets can somehow pull off that deal and get Burnitz and D'Amico for Rusch and Zeile, Ill go to war with that team and feel confident that we can finally take a Division Title from those fuckers down south.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Definitely FB, ill be right there with the Mets too if we can make that deal (even if they cant ill go to war with them). Ive been calling for D'Amico for a long time, Burnitz would be solid too. Go Knicks, Giants, Rangers, and Rutgers Men's Basketball Long Live Psycho Bitch | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: May. 00 | Well its about time my team did something. I was getting worried that we were just going to sit on our hands and go with the status quo, Castilla notwithstanding. Jordan's last 2 seasons were subpar at best. The numbers were there but when he was signed he was expected to be the next "big thing" in the NL and he never developed into that as a Brave. Im happy with the trade. Now maybe we can find a 5th starter that can give us some innings but I'll be happy going to war with Maddux, Glavine and Jason Marquis as my 1-2-3 starters this year I am the game, you don't want to play me i am control, no way you can shake me i am heavy debts, no way you can pay me i am the pain ,and i know you can't take me | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Hope the Mets did enough this offseason to buy the Wild Card. :) | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: Oh, you Yankees fans. You know, just because a team get better doesn't mean the payroll has to skyrocket. Before Astacio, our payroll was actually down, and if we can dump some of Zeile's contract we'll have a slight increase. We still won't be near the $130 million Yankees but a little closer.

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 01 | Whoa, there is another Braves fan. I like getting Sheffield, but don't know about giving up Jordan. He may not have played like God, but I understand that he was a good presence in the locker room and training the rookies, and I have also heard that Sheffield is kind of a pain in the ass. Then again, we tolerated Rocker for longer than most teams would have. The other problem is that he is a free agent after this year. (for those who haven't figured it out yet, I like three teams and they're all in one division, Braves, Phillies, Mets) | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | You like the Mets, Braves, and Phillies. So why stop there? Why dont just add the Marlins and Expos too. I find it impossible how anybody can be a REAL fan of two teams in the same sport, nevermind 3, and nevermind it when two of them are Bitter Bitter Rivals in the Mets and Braves. | ||||
