Open Thread 4/23: Braves at Mets Overflow

Fear them. They're coming.

Braves and Mets are tied in a pitching showdown battle of bad offenses at Citi Field tonight. Chipper drove in the lone run for the Braves in the 3rd and rookie Ike Davis hit a solo HR to put the Mets on the board in the 5th.

GO BRAVES.
