I don't know if I've ever met someone that had negative feelings towards him.
haha it was mainly from growing up. My cousin always rooted for the Braves and Chipper was his favorite player so I always rooted against them Now I'm ok with the Braves but I still don't care for him.
Do the braves have the best rotation in baseball? I'm a Braves fan and think so, but realize that I'm biased. Its gotta be them or the Rays though. I know Kawakami is 0-9, but he's actually not pitching that badly. Way better than 0-9. Medlen has come out of the Pen to do effing work as a starter. If they wanted to, they could keep him in there when Jurrjens comes back in a week and a half or so. Lowe, Hudson, Hanson, Jurrjens, Kawakami/Medlen. Do work braves.

Prove it.
I was asking a question? If I wanted to prove it, I'd point out how they're playing in the best division in baseball and are leading it.

Pretty good, but still some questions. Lowe hasn't been very good and Jurrjens is pretty questionable right now. TB is good, but Davis and Shields have both been awful lately. The Yanks are better with Vazquez pitching well, but I doubt Pettitte can keep up what he's doing. Red Sox are solid and will improve when Beckett returns. Darkhorse... Twins. Don't really have a good fifth starter, but Slowey has finally started pitching well to go with Baker and Liriano.
Vazquez will fall apart again, and Pettite might too. The Twins are pretty crazy good. They don't have any "wow" pitchers, but they all know what they're doing. I'll never give the Red Sox any credit, I hate them all. I expect Davis for the Rays to recover, he's a good pitcher.
What do you think the reception for Manny will be?
Completely mixed (and if I had to take a guess slightly more boos), there's a portion that will cheer him as much as possible for the 7 great seasons he had and being part of 2 titles. There's a significant chunk who despise him because of how he spent his last few weeks in Boston. And there seems to be another group who doesn't know how to act because there torn between the two. I'm interested to see how it ends up playing out but I really don't think there will be an overwhelming cheer or boo just a big mixture of both. The only way it would be noticeably more of one than the other, is if the FO plays some sort of tribute to Manny or something. The big beef seemed to be between Manny and the FO though I don't see that happening.
I'll be giving him a standing ovation from my couch he deserves it and I hope he gets it, but I doubt he will.

No love for the Cardinals? Carpernter, Wainright, Garcia, Penny, and Suppan/Lohse. I'd take that pitching staff over anyone's in baseball.
Meh. Penny is overachieving. Loshe would be like the Pirates 4th best pitcher. Has Suppan even pitched this year? In any case, he isn't good. Aside from that, it all comes back to them playing in the NL Central, I won't give anyone playing in this division credit.
Now I'm ok with the Braves but I still don't care for him.
