   The real reason they put Cliff on the DL is a debilitating case of chlamydia

   ….coming from his mouth


8. Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on April 9, 2008 at 4:31 pm (#650261)

   So funny. More and more Braves fans are coming out of the woodwork saying that there’s no proof that HGH does anything for an athlete and that Jordan Schafer is fine….


9. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:33 pm (#650262)

   who cares whether there’s proof.

   its illegal. and he did it.

   cheater.

   2007 was also his year where he “put it all together”. You have to doubt his prospect status now.

    game over, dep?


11. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:34 pm (#650264)

    pretty much, 87th minute. park almost scored a goal.

    its been boring


12. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:35 pm (#650265)

    89′

    Esposito gets a freekick on the right flank after a tame foul from Rooney

    88′

    Park’s effort on goal brushes the roof of the net after Doni did just enough to put him off

    87′

    Time almost up and one has to say the it has been comfortable for United, they did the damage in Rome. Roma has tried but come up short against a side which even without Ronaldo looks an awesome outfit

    86′

    Each touch Neville has it being greeted by huge cheers from the OT faithful - a fond welcome for the right back and club skipper who has suffered so badly with injuries over the last year


13. Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on April 9, 2008 at 4:36 pm (#650266)

    No, dep, you don’t get it: they’re saying HGH does NOTHING for an athlete so all of Schafer’s skill is REAL!!!

14. Comment posted by DoctorK16 on April 9, 2008 at 4:36 pm (#650267)

    For something that hasn’t been proven to work a lot of guys have tried it. Plus he tried it the same winter that Clemens had to go to Congress over it and the Mitchell Report came out. How dumb can you be.


15. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:37 pm (#650268)

    well lunk, tell them to go f**k their sisters and cry about it to them.

    I’m sure if a bigtime other team’s prospect was caught they’d be defending it the same way! yuh huh


16. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:39 pm (#650269)

    90′

    A brave effort from Roma, but United were just too good on the night and over the course of the two legs. Three English sides in the semi-finals; follow them here at ESPNsoccernet!

    90′

    That’s the whistle! 11 consecutive Champions League home wins for United, a new competition record.

17. Comment posted by Ed in Westchester 2.0 on April 9, 2008 at 4:41 pm (#650271)

    Yes Deppy, no doubt if a mets prospect was caught, fans all over the country would rush to his defense.

    Just like they did for Clemens and Pettitte.

    I’m surprised the story didn’t say something like “surprisingly, former mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski was not involved. Also, despite exhaustive research, we can find no link between Schafer and the Mets in any way.”


18. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:41 pm (#650270)

    D’OH!

    Orlando Hernandez will be in a boot for the next two weeks because of a tendon strain in his right foot.
    That’ll back him up at least a month. Mike Pelfrey is locked into a spot for a while now, and the Mets should reconsider bringing in Claudio Vargas. Jeff Weaver and David Wells are other free agent options still out there. As things stand now, Nelson Figueroa is the fifth starter.

    WEAVER! WEAVER! WEAVER!!!

20. Comment posted by Ed in Westchester 2.0 on April 9, 2008 at 4:42 pm (#650273)

    Well, Duque is not going to be helping for a LONG time.

    Next!


21. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:42 pm (#650274)

    LMAO Ed!!!!! so true.

    la la la

    So Pelfrey is our 4 and Figueroa is our 5 for a month, at least.

    Omar better be cooking something up.

    Kyle Lohse would look horrible! HORRIBLE!

    Sounds stupid but once it gets going it’s pretty good

23. Comment posted by DoctorK16 on April 9, 2008 at 4:42 pm (#650276)

    El Duque will never pitch again. I’m convinced of it.


24. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:44 pm (#650277)

    If Pelfrey stinks tonight, we are really in some doo-doo.

    you cant have 3 starters, you can get by with 4. not 3.


25. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:44 pm (#650278)

    LOL @ roto

    Cubs optioned LHP Carmen Pignatiello from Triple-A Iowa.
    Pignatiello pitched two-thirds of an inning in a week and a half, and the Cubs were terribly let down that he struggled. He’ll know better next time.


26. Comment posted by Simons on April 9, 2008 at 4:44 pm (#650280)

    How much should we offer Ollie again?


27. Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on April 9, 2008 at 4:44 pm (#650279)

    Seriously, we need to either pick up Weaver or Vargas. We have to assume that El Duque is not coming back. We need someone to solidify a rotation spot.

    By the way, if there was ever a great time for Pelfrey to figure it out, this is it.

28. Comment posted by Ed in Westchester 2.0 on April 9, 2008 at 4:44 pm (#650281)

    That’s Jeff, not Jared Lunk.


29. Comment posted by Simons on April 9, 2008 at 4:45 pm (#650282)

    2009 rotation sans Oliver Perez

    Santana
    Maine
    Pelfrey
    The Phantom
    Heilman

    AWESOME!


30. Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on April 9, 2008 at 4:45 pm (#650283)

    I don’t care, Ed. He was magic against us in the NLCS. He must have SOMETHING in that arm.


31. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:46 pm (#650284)

    Omar better not call up Niese. if that’s what his plan is, i hate it.


32. Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on April 9, 2008 at 4:47 pm (#650285)

    I doubt it, Dep, but I could see Niese winding up in AAA pretty soon….


33. Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on April 9, 2008 at 4:47 pm (#650286)

    Oh, wait, what is Tony Armas doing?


34. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:47 pm (#650287)

    ha, maybe Bostick finds himself a start.

    of course Figuero or Pelfrey have to suck first. but I think at least one of them will. if both do, I may hide under a pillow till June.


35. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:47 pm (#650288)

    Armas has 1 start under his belt, it wasnt that great. not horrible.

36. Comment posted by Kneel Before Zod! on April 9, 2008 at 4:48 pm (#650289)

    ON UNITED

    and the mets will be fine too

    id like to see some signs of life from reyes tonight, though


37. Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on April 9, 2008 at 4:48 pm (#650290)

    Well, Armas can get a couple more starts in and then slot into that 5th spot…. He can’t be all that bad, right? RIGHT?

38. Comment posted by Ed in Westchester 2.0 on April 9, 2008 at 4:49 pm (#650291)

    of course Figuero or Pelfrey have to suck first. but I think at least one of them will. if both do, I may hide under a pillow till JuneOctober.

    Fixed it for you Dep.


39. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:50 pm (#650292)

    lol. i guess.

    This is like a test of our will or something. i dont like it at all.

    we’ve already lost 3 very important guys not a week in to real games


40. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:50 pm (#650293)

    lol Ed, well maybe Pedro is back in June and i can come out of my hole ;)


41. Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on April 9, 2008 at 4:52 pm (#650294)

    Seriously, I mean yes they were old players… but how many old players continue perfectly fine for other teams? I don’t see Moyer down with back spasms….

    Chance #17 to step up.

    we need a girl of the day.

47. Comment posted by Ed in Westchester 2.0 on April 9, 2008 at 4:54 pm (#650300)

    Tonight, the Mets will begin to win.

    Pelfrey will show not flashes of talent tonight, but consistent talent every batter and every inning.

    Reyes will set the table.

    The middle of the lineup will clear it.

    The pen will not falter.

    Yesterday was the bottom.

    Today, the climb out begins.

    The rest of the NL East, nay, the entire NL better watch out.

    The Mets are going to start kicking ass and taking names tonight.

    LET’S
    GO
    METS!


48. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:55 pm (#650301)

    she’s a nats fan, but no one’s perfect.


49. Comment posted by Simons on April 9, 2008 at 4:55 pm (#650302)

    You’re better off not knowing what those are I think


50. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:57 pm (#650303)

    I think you’re right.


51. Comment posted by Hiro Protagonist on April 9, 2008 at 4:58 pm (#650304)

    Do you mean Huskers, dep?

52. Comment posted by Ed in Westchester 2.0 on April 9, 2008 at 4:58 pm (#650305)

    Hey, Dirty pitched 2 innings last night. No runs, 2 hits, 3 k’s.

    per mc lite


53. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 4:59 pm (#650306)

    was that a huskers hat? my bad….I flipped thru them quickly and saw a W.

    My bad. thanks for the correction.

    I cant get those pics to load full-size, annoying, there’s one in particular i’d like to see larger!!!!!!!!!


54. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:00 pm (#650307)

    yup, dirty was good. he also plunked a guy.

    still needs that back2back time.

55. Comment posted by NjMF on April 9, 2008 at 5:00 pm (#650308)

    El Done-OK

    Yikes. Did you all see Olbermann predict that The Mets and Yanks will not do well this year?
    Mets too old and no support for DW, Reyes and Santana
    Yanks too old and pitching too young and just a mess.

    He also said The D train is done and fat boy Cabrera will be the biggest waste of raw talent we have seen.

    WOW…
    Let go mets????


56. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:00 pm (#650309)

    or an N not a W! lol @ me.


57. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:03 pm (#650311)

    Someone on another site says Pagan batting 2nd tonight and Easley batting 7th.

    we’ll see if true.

    too bad Future and Tim from St. Louis aren’t around, I think they’re the only Lost fans on here, maybe?


59. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:05 pm (#650313)

    so Utley on M&M this morning admitted he could have gotten out the way of at least one of those pitches last nite

    unbelievable lol


60. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:05 pm (#650314)

    I’ve watched every Lost episode there is and will watch all new ones.

    not sure i’m a fan though. I think the show is a big tease.


61. Comment posted by Simons on April 9, 2008 at 5:05 pm (#650315)

    Gee maybe Dep wasn’t paying attention to the hat….


62. Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on April 9, 2008 at 5:05 pm (#650316)

    I’m out. Later all.


63. Comment posted by Hiro Protagonist on April 9, 2008 at 5:06 pm (#650317)

    Was it Angel Hernandez who called Biggio back to home plate the only time in his career after leaning into a pitch his elbow in LA? If it was Angel, that’s the only cause for me to have a shred of respect for him.


64. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:06 pm (#650318)

    lol simons. nope. i think my mistake is understandable. she was all distracting.


65. Comment posted by Simons on April 9, 2008 at 5:07 pm (#650319)

    Agreed the show is like a stripper that takes 4 1/2 years and still has pasties on


66. Comment posted by Hiro Protagonist on April 9, 2008 at 5:07 pm (#650320)

    lol, Simons


67. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:07 pm (#650321)

    Umpire Doug Eddings - He’s an easy target. On August 28, 2005, Jeff Weaver hit Craig Biggio with a pitch, but Eddings didn’t award Biggio first base, claiming Biggio didn’t make enough effort to avoid being hit. He’s the only umpire to make such a call against Biggio, and it’s well within the rules for him to do so, even if it was not the right call in that particular circumstance. That only technically kept 1 plunk out of Biggio’s total, but it may have demoralized him and made him less willing to take plunks, knowing the umpires may not react properly, and reward him for taking one for the team.

    LMAO Simons!!!!!!!!

    I’m loading that video, it looks funny


69. Comment posted by Hiro Protagonist on April 9, 2008 at 5:09 pm (#650323)

    I have no idea why I was thinking Angel was the one (he must dominate the psyche of every Met fan). But major props for Eddings.

    Thanks for the info, dep. And lol @ the blog name


70. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:09 pm (#650324)

    no problemo man, it was actually really easy to find. All i typed on google was umpire that didnt give biggio first base


71. Comment posted by Simons on April 9, 2008 at 5:10 pm (#650325)

    I’m glad someone put that video together because I’ve actually noticed how often they have a character say “What??!” on there. It’s lazy writing, it’s like they’re trying to call attention to how shocking the latest revelations are. It’s a laugh track for dramas.


72. Comment posted by Simons on April 9, 2008 at 5:13 pm (#650326)

    See y’all at game time PEACE OUT


73. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:23 pm (#650328)

    that video was hilarious. lata simons.

    Busy days at work are no fun. I started reading today’s thread but had to stop. People are really freaking out.


75. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:30 pm (#650333)

    you want a freak-out, try and read the metsblog thread from yesterdays game. comments got turned off right around 900 or so

    that will test your mettle! ;)

76. Comment posted by Danny on April 9, 2008 at 5:32 pm (#650336)

    Haha. No thanks, Dep. I’m just thinking about tonight. We need the bats to show up again like yesterday, but with some better luck.


77. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:33 pm (#650338)

    yes yes. come on, we’re facing Mr. “lower K rate than Pelfrey” tonight.

    we must destroy him.

    and pelfrey just has to keep us in the game. he may not recover from another awful start, the crowd will eat him alive.


78. Comment posted by Dep on April 9, 2008 at 5:34 pm (#650339)

    game thread is up.

    mets close to signing vargas per rotoworld/NY post.

    lets move on over. i posted it there.
