Looks like the Mets bats blew their load Friday afternoon and will take a week to recharge.

I changed to ESPN.

That’s how much I hate the call-in segments.

the cardinals have a lot of white dudes on their team.

is it racial? i dont know.

Comment posted by Dep on June 30, 2008 at 9:52 pm (#746412)
i feel like the entire team is white. i dont even see pooh or yadihair

Jeez - guess I didn’t much bein’ on airplanes for 2 days straight . . . 4 runs in the last 4 games if we don’t score in the 9th . . .

What was once 60-40 .600 is now looking more like 50-30 .625 or is it? The Phils are only on pace for 86 wins.

Havens 0-2 w/2 k’s in his debut, Ike 1-2 so far tonight .263 in his first few.

they could let us bat another 9 and i’m not sure we’d get 7.

try again tomorrow

put it down in your ledger!
Comment posted by cp on June 30, 2008 at 9:58 pm (#746424)
Is it just me or does 2 under .500 feel more like 20 under?

Comment posted by Dep on June 30, 2008 at 9:58 pm (#746425)
see now if this was wrestling, kyle lohse would get a big 10-2 podium and go stand on it and mock johan and johan would steel chair him.

good stuff.

Church
Pitcher

that might have been gun play..
Comment posted by littlefallsmets on June 30, 2008 at 10:00 pm (#746429)
I mean, the thing is… like…

The key to being significantly more than mediocre is having a team that’s consistently able to win without either having the offense go nuts or having the starting pitching be lights out.

If Reyes/Wright/Beltran is collectively on fire, the Mets win.

If one of the starters hurls a gem, the Mets win.

And otherwise, they don’t really figure out how to overcome neither of those things happening very often.

I mean, the old cliche “it is what it is”.

i refuse to give up on this season with so much time left and a unremarkable deficit to make up, but games like this are just frequent enough for me to believe otherwise

hahaha troy percival

what a physical specimen

baseball players rule!
Comment posted by Danny on June 30, 2008 at 10:03 pm (#746434)
Zod, please see the most recent journals.

After you take a deep breath.
Comment posted by littlefallsmets on June 30, 2008 at 10:05 pm (#746435)
I dunno, DL, sometimes you gotta just learn to stop worrying and love the logic-bomb. It’s kinda freeing.

LOL

hahahaha

i may have crossed a line
Comment posted by Danny on June 30, 2008 at 10:09 pm (#746440)
He’s not a winner, Zod. Maybe you should just learn to accept that.
Comment posted by Kneel Before Zod! on June 30, 2008 at 10:10 pm (#746441)
i love the opening two lines about beltran not showing emotion. pretty classic.

Too much Beltran.

lol phl
Comment posted by griffyusc on June 30, 2008 at 10:15 pm (#746444)
LOL Beltran. Plays great for 1 week and then stinks for 3 weeks. Wish we could trade him right after we bench Delgado.
Comment posted by griffyusc on June 30, 2008 at 10:16 pm (#746445)
I’m glad I got home late and didn’t watch this mess

Comment posted by Dep on June 30, 2008 at 10:19 pm (#746446)
Hanley just took Rauch deep in the 9th to tie that game

Comment posted by PHL on June 30, 2008 at 10:20 pm (#746447)
Hanley, seriously:

Please stop hitting home runs, and steal more bases. Just a little less muscle in that swing, okay?
Comment posted by Kneel Before Zod! on June 30, 2008 at 10:22 pm (#746448)
LOL Beltran. Plays great for 1 week and then stinks for 3 weeks. Wish we could trade him right after we bench Delgado.

you are a moron

MORON

Comment posted by DL on June 30, 2008 at 10:24 pm (#746449)
we need less guys who don’t care like beltran, where are our scrappy winners like david eckstein and aj douchezynski
Comment posted by Kneel Before Zod! on June 30, 2008 at 10:27 pm (#746450)
thank god Teen Wolf is on

Comment posted by DL on June 30, 2008 at 10:29 pm (#746451)
unlike beltran, teen wolf was a winner

Comment posted by Your wildcard leading Cardinals… on June 30, 2008 at 10:30 pm (#746452)
Mulder looked decent…..ya know, for not pitching since 19digity

Comment posted by Kneel Before Zod! on June 30, 2008 at 10:33 pm (#746454)
ha, that was awful

i blame beltran

Comment posted by DL on June 30, 2008 at 10:35 pm (#746455)
i was only talking about teen wolf and his clutch free throw shooting, i bet beltran would still strike out even after becoming the wolf

Comment posted by DL on June 30, 2008 at 10:36 pm (#746456)
lol jon rauch you suck and probably smell too
Comment posted by littlefallsmets on June 30, 2008 at 10:37 pm (#746457)
You know what ruined “Teen Wolf Too”? A cameo by a young Carlos Beltran.

Comment posted by PHL on June 30, 2008 at 10:43 pm (#746460)
LOL, the Royals put Callaspo on the DL after he was arrested for suspicion of DUI. Can they do that?
Comment posted by Ellis Dee on June 30, 2008 at 10:45 pm (#746461)
Only if he has a really bad hangover.
