ESPN.com – MLB – Box Score – Mets at Braves I like beating the Mets, and Steve Trachsel really annoys me so I really like beating him. Beating him when Willie Randolph left him in after 100 pitches in his...

ESPN.com – MLB – Box Score – Reds at Braves Who is worse, Adam LaRoche or Dan Kolb? That’s a tough one, huh? Marcus was the offense today. He hit a solo homer in the first and another one in the sixth....
