We now have our 2nd member of the NL East Chatter Community. Matt F of The Braves Baseball Blog has been migrated to http://www.nleastchatter.com/BravesBaseballBlog/ . The homepage has been updated to reflect his rss feeds, and he is now up and posting at the new site in hopes of bringing the Bravos fans over to our new fan venture.
In just about a week, this has become very real and the whole thing feels like home.
I hope everyone pops over to the new site to say hello to our neighbor, and make sure to tell any Braves fans you know about his site.
I look forward to some spirited debates and Q&A’s about the Braves in the future.

well..its simple. The yankees are not in our division..the phillies are. If the yanks can make the phillies lose..i think its fine for a mutual truce. We did them a favor by handing 2 losses to the redsox
jonnyballgame
5/28/2009-3:29pm at 3:29 pm (UTC -4)
I think its in our blood man. My family comes from the Brooklyn Dodgers and migrated to the Mets in the mid sixties. It was instilled in me as a young child that there is nothing worse than a Yankee or its fanbase. I get about as much enjoyment from a Yankee loss as I do a Mets win. Its sick,, I know, but I can’t help it.
kingman26
5/28/2009-3:32pm at 3:32 pm (UTC -4)
It is totally understandable for the older generation…my Dad is almost 72, and from 1941 to 1956, from when he was 4 until he was 19, the Yanks and Dodgers played in the WS SEVEN times and the Yanks won all but 1955.
I mean, 2000 was horrifying enough, but a half dozen of them??
jonnyballgame
5/28/2009-3:36pm at 3:36 pm (UTC -4)

Fong buddy, gotta vehemently but very respectfully disagree…hating the Yanks is in my blood, and my Dad really cannot bring himself to root for them, but when they play the Phils or the Braves? I am ABSOLUTELY rooting for the Phils and Braves to lose…NOT for the Yanks to win, but for the Phils or Braves to lose, absolutely and positively.
I mean, would you rather the Yanks have 2 or 3 less wins, and we miss the playoffs??

I hear you, and whenever “they” are not playing a Mets’ division rival I feel exactly the same. Too many nights, if the Mets are losing or have lost, my whole mood depends on what team is leading when I check the Yankee score.
metsfan4decades
5/28/2009-4:06pm at 4:06 pm (UTC -4)
I’m from that old school too. But lately, I think I hate the Phillies more – for several reasons:
- yankees don’t look like those old dynasties of the old. I know they’re currently on top but I still think they’re a joke.
– The whole Posada thing – I mean he’s done already. I appreciate loyalty but time to move on.
– The great Mo is probably in his last good year.
– The joke of holding on to Hughes and Kennedy instead of getting Johan (yeah us!).
– Jeter, who always had mediocre range, is now past that.
– ARod – enough said.
– Joba – can’t even go there. Way over hyped as a starting pitcher
– The whole Torre new contract thing.
In summation, a joke. Still love when they lose.
But the Phillies? I hate the fans, I can’t stand Hamels, Victorino, Rollins. They win once in a million years and they STILL can’t stop talking about the Mets.
Bah, I have to root for the Phils to lose, even if playing the Yankees.

Go there all you want. I was in St. Louis in 1993 and I had a few hours to kill. I looked at a city map and I saw an icon that said “video game museum” so I went. They had hands on exhibits of pretty much every generation of arcade video game ever. I hurt my hands playing everything from Pong to that football game where you slap the round ball that partially sticks up out of the console, all kinds of Pinball. It was truly spectacular.

mrose, trs; I live in DC and would be fine with starting up the Nats blog this weekend if we haven’t found someone yet. Then I’ll keep my ears peeled here for anyone that might be interested in taking it over.

Saber – I think we had found a nice prospect.. but this goes for everyone..
if you find ANY blog which is Phils, Nats, Marlins that is NOT a domain name (because if they have their own domain, they are probably fine), then let us know.

only thing about that blog is it seems to not get updated too often…
we can’t promise anything to anyone just yet, but the more prospects the better

Yeah, I noticed that it doesn’t get updated too often, but if we could get him started and then have some other guys join in to keep it rolling, it might work.

Mr. North Jersey.. How about setting up a cafe press site with a Real Dirty Mets Blog t shirt. That way we can promote the site as well as be fashionable”
I dig the text you used in the banner.. you could put it on a blue or white shirt and maybe on the back it can say.. We’re not Sellouts! or something like that.

jonny – I had thought eventually a t-shirt thing would be awesome…
we could sell orange or blue ones with a mets logo and real dirty mets but nleastchatter.com on the back and so on for the other teams…. and mr north jersey’s logos are great

The only good thing about cafepress and sites like that are that we can create hundreds of different designs and not have to pay for someone to create them. It would be nice to eventually have an official NL east chatter shirt. but until then I would like to sport a Real Dirty tee. and like you said NL East Chatter on the back
mrose
5/28/2009-4:28pm at 4:28 pm (UTC -4)
i had never heard of cafepress…that looks like a good site..i say Mr North Jersey could go ahead and make a nice design…i’d buy one

Potential issue in that it’s part of mlblogs, which unless I’m mistaken is a member of the mlb.com system, which has certain bylaws and regulations. I believe this blog flirted with the idea of joining them for a few moments but ultimately passed.

Can’t they leave anytime they feel like though? I mean maybe he would be forced to change his blogs name here, but he looks like he does some decent stuff.
metsfan4decades
5/28/2009-4:18pm at 4:18 pm (UTC -4)
I’m sure they can leave when they want to. Probably can’t port it over to an independent site as is though. Or maybe they don’t care, just as long as you get rid of the MLB backdrop that most who have a blog over there are using. Probably the default that most didn’t change, for a variety of reasons…

Yes, that was my mistake. I found the monthly list of baseball fan blog ratings and thought it would be cool if we could break into that list. But upon further reading, I realized they were all part of the MLBlog Sphere thing over there. Knew we didn’t want to go down that road and be under anyone’s control as it clearly stated you are bound by their guidelines.
Could be some started blogs on blog sphere b/c they assist you with that set up – for those less technically astute as others.

I’m pretty sure the look is the same for all the blogs in the MLBlogosphere. There’s a link a little bit above that has a rankings list of them, and links to their rules etcetera.

He kept pushing and pushing and eventually we broke. We stood by him and helped him become what he is today. We even pretended to like his SNY work. Complimenting him on getting better. We supported him, until he turned his back on his most faithful followers.
