Let the Smack Talk Begin - Aaron




So I just wanted to get this season goin with a little smack talk for everyone. I know we dont even have teams yet, so there isn't much to talk smack about with our league. I can however talk a some smack about one league that is very far along, the NL East. There hasn't been as much talk about ¡Los Bravos! so far, but there are a smart few, Peter Gammons included, who are giving the NL East to ¡Los Bravos! Not Los Metropolitanos, not Las Pontracas, ¡Los Bravos! I don't know how everybody hasn't seen this yet. The Mets aren't that much better than last year. Santana will prove to be huge if they make it to the playoffs. But they have to get by some good teams to get there. The Phillbos are the same team this year, except for the fact that Howard has an extra $7,200,000.00 in his pocket. I think we all know how this ends up. Like this, or like this, or this.
¡Los Bravos! on the other hand have a lineup that looks a little like this:
1 Kelly Johnson (a bit of an odd leadoff, but good power and speed)

2 Yunel Escobar (MLBs next sensation. Saw this guy have a 4-4, 5RBI night in person)

3 Chipper Jones (MLBs best active switch hitter)

4 Mark Teixeira (The Heir to the best switch hitter Throne)

5 Jeff Francoeur (Got bigger and smarter, I actually saw him lay off some pitches)

6 Brian McCann (One of the top 3 hitting Catchers in the Majors)

7 Mark Kotsay (Great contact hitter that will get pleanty of RBI opp.)

8. Matt Diaz (Finished the season hot and has started the spring just as hot)

9. Tim Hudson (Coming off his best hitting season ever with an average of .263. {Andruw's last year was .222.})

Then of course there is the pitching, which is better than ¡Los Bravos! have had in a few years for sure. As long as they stay healthy you can't say that Smoltz, Hudson, Glavine, Hampton isn't one of the best rotations around. Right now the #5 is Chuck James, who has the best chance out of all of the pitchers on the rotation last year that has the chance of having what you could call a Career, as an MLB pitcher.

Long story short, fuck the Mets and fuckthe Phillies. Fuck em' right in their loser buttholes.
