    Nice to see the lack of PT hasn’t messed Murphy up.

    murphy! smokes a single b/w 1st/2nd hole

    All that Murphy does is hit. I will be surprised if this kid isn’t a .300 hitter at some point in his career.

    In summary:

    Schoeneweis can suck Satan’s **** in hell. I don’t use him or Heilman in a pressure situation before Wright and Murphy have both pitched an inning.

    …and in hell, Castillo can be what he kneels on.

    HOWEVER.

    Huge showing by Niese. If the Mets can survive their own bullpen and make the post-season… and Maine is still out… I make Niese the #4 starter.

    In the words of Doc Brown, I figure… what the hell.

    I don’t want him because the quality of his stuff has gone down big time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t have as many saves from next season onward as he has had up to this point in his career. His motion screams TJ, and we already have one closer who has suffered TJ surgery, I think we should pass.

  50. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:06 am (#843756)

    I don’t think the Mets will care to much amount spending money to get F-Rod, espescially since they are going to be making it hands over fist moving into the new home. Question is will be Mets want to give up the draft choices we will to give the Angels for him. That is the key question.

    They haven’t gone 50-50 in the Pac-10 in a long time. But they usually lose at least one game they shouldn’t in conference play, it drives me crazy.

    To be honest, Mark Sanchez is a better QB than John David Booty ever was. He has more arm strength, more charisma, more everything.

    If Booty is pulled the moment he hurt his finger, USC beats Stanford and plays Ohio State for the title last season.

    The only problem with Carroll is he has an insane amount of loyalty to players, especially QBs…Booty wasn’t the best QB on the Trojans last year.

    I couldn’t believe how much people were shitting on Sanchez before this year…he was the #1 QB recruit in the entire country by scout and rivals when he came out of high school, he was the Parade Player of the Year too.

    the game is in Los Angeles, I’ve been tryin to look for a descent price ticket, but damn they are expensive.

  60. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:19 am (#843764)

    yeah booty the past two years wasn’t helped out by his recievers at all, they would drop at least 4-5 balls a game, the lost to stanford his receivers dropped 13 passes.

  61. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:20 am (#843765)

    Ready about how Ambiorix Burgos when Coo Coo 4 coco puffs on his lady friend. Sounds like he needs some kind of therapy, but then again woman probably said something she shouldn’t of said.

    He wasn’t helped by the WRs, but it said something when Sanchez who ran the practice team showed more chemistry with the WRs than Booty did.

  64. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:24 am (#843767)

    yeah,but if you make the throws your recievers have to make the catches, they dropped touch downs, and lords knows how many first downs over the past two years. I do like how Sanchez gets the ball downfield a lot better then Booty did, Booty only seemed to let it loose when we were behind.

  65. Comment posted by bcuster on September 14, 2008 at 12:24 am (#843768)

    I don’t want him because the quality of his stuff has gone down big time.

    k(f)rod has a great bending pitch; i don’t know whether it is a slide, a slurve or curve or what.

    i have seen him hang it: and in the end he will torch his arm throwing it

    that 12-6 slider of Lidge is just nasty. the last time he faced us the made us look retarded. We took swings against him that weren’t even close on connecting.

    I’m not sure if the Mets should spend 16 million or more on a closer when they can get Ben Sheets for that much or a little more.

  70. Comment posted by bcuster on September 14, 2008 at 12:30 am (#843773)

    if the Mets should spend 16 million or more on a closer

    internal solutions, imo…

  71. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:31 am (#843774)

    Oregon was very good last year, if Dennis Dixon wouldn’t of blew his knee out against Arizona they would of been the #1 team in the country, probably going to Title game, and Dixon was favored to win the Heisman before his knee buckled. LSU and Tim Tebow should pay for his medical billing.

  72. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:32 am (#843775)

    Do we have internal solutions. I mean lets see what Kunz can do. Heilman, Sanchez, aren’t very reliable solutions.

  73. Comment posted by bcuster on September 14, 2008 at 12:33 am (#843776)

    heilman will gut it up for the playoffs or he will have had not,

    most likely he will be traded over the winter

    if not: 1 final chance to start in ST

    Well, if they’d'a given Kunz more of a chance this
    season, we’d know better… instead of running goddamned Schoeneweis and Heilman out there over and over and goddamned over again.

  77. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:37 am (#843780)

    Schoeneweis should never ever pitch against a righty, and Heilman should never pitch against anyone.

    No recruits’ll go play up there in the tundra of my birth, in the Big East where no one notices what the hell you’re doing unless you’re at the top of the standings and gunning for a BCS game.

    trade heilman, then griff just it is ok trade heilman

  82. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:40 am (#843785)

    they won’t find that out until after the operation though. Usually when athletes have knee troubles from an operation like that and can’t come back it’s due to nerve damage in the knee

  83. Comment posted by littlefallsmets on September 14, 2008 at 12:41 am (#843786)

    What would anyone give of any value for Heilman, though?

    Even a half-eaten sandwich is only HALF-eaten.

    I mean… is there really a market out there for set-up men with an ERA creeping up to six and when he isn’t pitching terribly, he’s weeping bitter tears about how much not starting tastes like a diet of ashes?

  84. Comment posted by bcuster on September 14, 2008 at 12:41 am (#843787)

    yeah, charlie got blindsided. he will be ok. he is nj tough

    Trade Heilman, shoot Heilman, just get heilman and $hittyweis off the team.

  86. Comment posted by bcuster on September 14, 2008 at 12:43 am (#843789)

    then what do we do w/heilman: lfm? just cut him? i do not think he would be unemployed for long

  87. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:43 am (#843790)

    I think a lot of teams are going to try Heilman as a starting pitcher instead of a reliever. Heilman would do himself good in getting another pitch.

  88. Comment posted by bcuster on September 14, 2008 at 12:44 am (#843791)

    the california posters seem to have hatred for aaron. why?

  89. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:45 am (#843792)

    I guess we could keep him for another year and see if he can’t rebound. After next season he will be a free agent right? Maybe he will rebound and we can get some draft choices out of him.

  90. Comment posted by littlefallsmets on September 14, 2008 at 12:45 am (#843793)

    If the only relievers left over from The Collapse on this team could be Smith and Feliciano, that’d be great, thanks.

    The first Collapse was bullpen-driven and if a second comes, history will show that it was bullpen-driven as well.

    Maybe getting rid of Mota and Sele wasn’t enough to eradicate the Suck Infection. Heilman and Schoeneweis were high criminals in that mess as well, maybe a clean sweep is required.

  91. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:46 am (#843794)

    a lot of peeps have hatred for Aaron. I think it’s the way he comes in the ball game looking all cocky and unhittable making that mean face he makes, then starts off with a walk to the leadoff man, and then sometime in the inning a bloody homerun,.

  92. Comment posted by bcuster on September 14, 2008 at 12:47 am (#843795)

    aaeon’s slider has proven to be an effetive “3rd” pitch

  93. Comment posted by littlefallsmets on September 14, 2008 at 12:47 am (#843796)

    Cut him.

    Or let him start in Bingy, I don’t care.

    But as long as he’s on the active major league roster, he’s gonna get used eventually and he’s gonna lose games.

    Double for Rocky Horror.

  94. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:48 am (#843797)

    If Heilman did his job people would like him, but you start costing your teams game and pretty much sucking for the entire season which he has then your not going to win over many fans.

  95. Comment posted by littlefallsmets on September 14, 2008 at 12:50 am (#843798)

    I just can’t stand him because he’s terrible… and he’s so in denial that he believes he’s not only good, he’s starter good, despite crapping out home runs more consistently than those machines in arcades that poop out a plastic egg with a toy in it for a quarter.

    Attitude? Good Lord, I’m still a Milledge defender, I don’t care about your attitude.

    Play well and don’t get suspended or arrested.

    Heilman could have all the attitude in the world if he was good and I could shake the sanctamonious little crybaby’s hand for it.

    But sucking is bad.

    And being in such denial about sucking that you demand to suck more often so as to prove that you don’t suck… that’s just the everloving end.

  96. Comment posted by griffyusc on September 14, 2008 at 12:50 am (#843799)

    aaron should be starting; that is what he was born & bred to do. the mets’ have been trying to smash the square peg into the round whole for years

    just trade him. we would welcome release

  98. Comment posted by littlefallsmets on September 14, 2008 at 12:53 am (#843801)

    If you can’t go one inning without giving up a homer consistently, you’re not a starter.

    You’re just not.

    The dude has had ten million chances to pitch consistently.

    You have to succeed, even a little bit, before you can start.
