Moments after comedian Chris Rock led the "Let's Go Mets!" cheers on the DiamondVision, Shawn Green led off the fifth inning with a towering home run into the Mets bullpen. Green turned on the first pitch from John Smoltz and swung so hard he almost knocked himself over. The 390-foot shot caromed off the AZEK sign that stands above the bullpen (it has the K counter) and Green flipped his batting gloves to the fans sitting beside the Mets dugout.
For those keeping track, Green also had a third-inning single, and he's batting .370 (10-for-27) with four doubles, two home runs and six RBI in his last seven games. Hard to believe this is the same guy whose job looked to be in jeopardy only three weeks ago.

By the top of the 9th, Chris Rock was seen putting on his Yankees hat as he joined the thousands of other Muts fans headed out to the 7 train. The Braves Win...THEEEE BRAAAVVVEESS WIN!!!!! 2 out of 3 in the Big A, 2 out of 3 in the Big Apple...WE'RE BACK!!
Now if we could just get Greenie to catch fly balls...
geez, i should have kept that ball down today.
1st place.... your ATLANTA BRAVES!!!
It's OK.
Not a big deal at all.
You don't win it in April. (unless of course you are the 06 Mets)
Braves fans rank right up there with Yankees fans. Arrogant and Ignorant enough to think winning is their right and a given.
Two years in a row not winning the league. Will that help you guys and your ego?
Mets...NL EAST CHAMPS AGAIN!
Lastings who?
And was that Michael Kay doing "the Braves win" up top? I guess he couldn't have been saying "Yankees win" all weekend since they got swept!
Braves fans, Braves fans:
Where were you last year?
So quiet......I look forward to your silence again when the mets put the boots to your throats for the last time.
You all are fair weather,
and you don't know what it is to be a fan.
You never sell out the stadium.
You only sell out as fans.
Bobby Cox should be playing golf somewhere sipping bananas through a straw.
He is as old as the "lame" tomahawk chop that is racist and corny.
Grow up Braves fans!
If it wasn't for Dale Murphy--you losers would have any class and dignity for the last 30 years.
That is all I have to say...
