Franco's uproar at Mets Camp

I got a kick out of this. The NY Daily News has an article on Julio Franco's arrival at Mets camp. What did he do? He showed up sporting a Braves T-shirt. Way to go Julio!

Franco, on the other hand, doesn't quite get what the angst is all about. He arrived yesterday for spring training wearing a Braves' T-shirt, of all things, and wore it around the clubhouse for an hour or so, leaving PR man Jay Horwitz in need of oxygen before he finally changed into Mets gear.

Later, the article states that Glavine told Franco the Braves are the bad guys here in NY. Glavine also had some words to spare:

"When a team is that successful, everybody gets sick of them winning," Glavine said yesterday. "I'm like everybody else here: as players, you're tired of them winning, and you want to be part of a team that beats them."

I've read some people bashing Tommy G. over those comments. C'mon people he plays against the Braves, and he's not expected to root for them. Glavine doesn't hate or dislike the Braves organization. He just wants to win in NY and I'm not going to blame him for that because that's what he's there to do.

  • The NY Post had a Franco story, too, with a typical day's menu.

    Lots of lean protein and two protein shakes. I wonder what's in them. :)
