    It is a 1963 caddie fleetwood. My dad restored it and I inherited when he passed away. He had 4 at one time. A 69 convertable, a 67 coupe, a 73 de ville and the car pictured.

    What a depressing AB

    Lots of boos for Delgado. Surprised Willie sent Delgado to come up.

    STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM GARY. DELGADO SUCKS.

    So are you implying that he learned to be come a league-average pitcher for the 4 years he pitched for the Mets an not during the last 2 years (1998-200) when he was in D-Backs system and finally put it together?

    Nope - I wanted to know what you thought - which you still haven’t answered. And now I no longer care what you think. Ciao.

    If he could get his other pitches over for strikes he’d be fine. Thats really his downfall. I think he’d be better off learning that in AAA, were he can dominate guys for awhile. If he continues to struggle up here the fans will go nuts. Its tough to try to “learn” in New York

    To me, he can’t learn in NY because he has pressure on himself to win here. If he would go down to AAA and take a beating throwing sliders on every count imaginable, he’d be better off in the longterm. That’s what Santana did when he was in the Twins minor league system.

    Sounds like my Uncle. He’s had nothing but Caddies since the 60’s.
    He has one of the newer ones now, which I dont like so much.
    Definately a sweet ride though!!

    It is certainly hard to be a Met fan right now indeed. Makes me want to scream. I hate watching this crap right now.

    alot of stupid ass questions. I actually believe it was the latter scenario, BYW if you are still around.

    Yea, real quick too. I think thats what pisses me off with this team. As soon as we get a lead it vanishes and then a few innings later were just so far behind its inevitable

  26. Comment posted by bcuster on April 25, 2008 at 10:25 pm (#670737)

    it is best to get the bad out of ze way early, imo.. too much early season sucksees has spoiled this team crotten..

    the mets should cease to be a major league baseball team. it’s time for the organization to just call it quits.

    If Willie is fired then Omar should be fired as well, since he hired willie and lately has made some awful decisions that are killing the Mets. The biggest decision or non-decision that Omar has to face and i wonder this outloud here in Atlanta is why isn’t there another firstbase man on this team. You don’t take out a guy hittin .190 something and replace him with a a player hitting .156 thats just crazy. I mean this isn’t Willie’s fault entirely. Its not Willies fault if Pelfrey can’t consistantly throw strikes and can’t developed any secondary pitches to get out lefties. Its not Willies fault that Omar signed Castillo to a new four year contract and then after the contract decided he can’t walk anymore. It’s not Willie’s fault that Mike Jacobs is a Marlin right now and probably has 7 hrs more then Delgado. Its not Willis fault that Omar didn’t go out and get a great relief pitcher. Its not Willies fault that Oliver Perez has mental shutdown after 4.5 innings and then can’t seem to throw strikes.
    I know if my job was in crisis like I think it will be with Willie here soon, I would be demanding that Pelfrey go to the pen, bring up John Niese. I would then have to tell Omar that Delgado needs to be off this team because Omar loves him and he will consistantly put him in the game. Eventually its going to get bad for Delgado where everytime his name is called up he will be booed by everyone in the stadium. I noticed that Mets don’t have true backups they have utility men except for Endy Chavez.
    Its time to bring up Carp and Niese, if nothing esle Niese can be the long man in the pen because between Pelfrey who follows Perez our pen is having to pitch a lot of innings. Somehow Willie is going to have to split Perez and Pelfrey up we can’t have back to back nights of 5 innings pitched.
    We have journymen manning our triple A team where there is no reason what Tatis should even be wearing any uniform. I look at our triple A team and I’m like are you kidding me? Our double A team can beat the Triple A team.

    We’ve had pinstripes for a long time. We need to get rid of the black uniforms. Those things are hideous.

    you are right of course. zero offense against a nobody pitcher: that is not a formulae for victory..

    I’m not saying this just to be contrary, but I don’t really like the look of the white unis that don’t have stripes. They just seem so unnatural.

    i tried some half-baked gallows humor and it went over like a lead ballooner. well, i can’t blame geeknation for being in a foul mood. come to south bend w/ a bunch of jawnies running round; that will cheer you up..

    accentuate the positive; based on a reading of the box-score; it seems like the bullpen did pretty well tonight..

    I just got back from the game. Fitting it should start raining 1/2 way back to Jersey after a night like tonight. One of the worst Met performances I’ve seen, and I’ve been going to Shea for the last 25 years. Whoever post # 26 is (Griffyusa)your 100% right dude. Willie is the cook, and Omar bought the ingredients. For whatever reason, Omar has a boner for Delgado and Pedro Martinez. Always has. Jacobs could have been a great 1st basemen for us for many years.

    Martinez is another story. I saw another guy on this site compare him to Bret Saberhagen’s time with the Mets. Same duration (4 years)… 1 good year, 1 fair year, and two poor, injury prone years. Fact is Saberhagens time as a Met was better! We paid this guy 54 million for 1 good year. I can hear them laughing from Boston! Even if he comes back, he ain’t helping us much. The Marlin’s were hammering him, even before he strained his hammy.

    The team I saw tonight, had no heart and the fans in attendance felt it and let the Mets know it. I realize its still April, but a statement has to be made. Maybe just releasing a guy like Delgado would light a fire. I can’t believe that Mike Carp would be much worse.

    Thanks Custer! Bitterness fueled by 3 or 4 Rolling Rock’s. (I can’t afford the $9 beers at Shea)!!
