FIRST!
SIMONS!
Happy 4th everyone
Hope the mets can get this series. The Phills may get up for this one. They have been HORRIBLE as well this month.
Will be @ sundays game in Philly
The thing that has saved the Mets the embarrassment of being 8 back at this point is the awful play of the Phils. The Phils will definitely be up for this after having just been swept by the Braves. Are the Mets even capable of getting up for this? Sure hope so.
ha ha shea. I know you have been MIA like me ;-D
Agreed on mets. Philly has kept them in.
excellent article by Raissman in the News (link above) about Jerry and the Mets’ “bottom line”
Phils are 4-14 since they last played the Mets.
Good morning all.
Lol @ the Braves. Freaking dominating Philly this year. Braves still not a good team. Outside of starting pitcher and two relievers, they have nothing. Yet, they have already won the season series vs the Phillies. Our division sucks
nice writeup by toby hyde about holts start last night. some encouraging news about his secondary pitches :)
Yeah, hate to say this but hopefully we don’t wake up the sleeping dog. Because unlike the phils our ship is not equipped to go into ludicrous speed….just yet
I think the best thing about Philly being the suck right now has not forced Omars hand in trading players such as FMart, Thole, Holt or Wilmer. Eventually we may have to make a trade but it will be some time later on this month when teams dont have OMar by his sack…the nut that is.;)
Yeah the Phils have a team that’s better equipped to actually play good ball but their pitching woes have been a problem virtually all season long. They are very much like the late summer 2007 Mets with Rollins subbing for Delgado in the season long slump role, Ibanez for Alou and their middle relief for Guillermo Mota. Also they’re already dipping into their pool of retreads a la Dave Williams and Brian Lawerence. They even got swept in Atlanta, very Mets-like indeed.
however….you KNOW philly is gonna make a trade and get more pitching, you just know it!
And I’ve been saying this for a while but exactly who are they going to acquire for their staff that isn’t going to strip most of their major league ready farm or someone meaningful from their 25 man roster?
If he back end of their pen continues to falter they are going to have to bring in at least 2 guys. If all it took was 1 pitcher then I’d say they were in a good position but with NL East and wildcard races looking tight it will be a very competetive marketplace.
all true, MFBS
Am I the only miserable human at work right now? I will be lucky if I get out at 5. And my commute home is a buck 15.
I forgot to tell you guys this. Some idiot at the US Open two weeks ago was wearing a cardinal baseball cap with a LOUD 2006 red WS Champs T-Shirt. I walked by him 3 or 4 times during the day (it was very hard not to spot this asshat in a crowd). When I was a bit buzzed towards the end of the day I told him half joking/half serious “hey buddy, the Cards sucked”. He looked at me and said…”are you that Tigers fan I met at the 17th hole”. I then paused…realizing how much of an idiot this guy was… I went from half joking to serious….looked at him and said
“no, I’m only one of the thousands of met fans at Bethpage State Park in Long Isand today, which is located less than 15 miles from Flushing, that detest your freakin’ choice of clothes today” He looked at me and laughed. I walked away.
haha DMaggz. Too funny. Guys will do anything.
Yeah man dog eat dog world.hahaha I’m gonna start lying too…well about my age anyway.;)
Happy 4th, Geeks. Lunk is at home doing laundry and watching “Deadliest Catch” reruns. What fun!
I should have stooge slapped you when I had the chance..
Tour de France starting tomorrow. Apparently, money has an eventual finish of Contador, Armstrong, and Andy Schleck. Good showing for Astana if that happens although you wonder if where Levi will end up.
Everything has been ashes since that NLCS. Bleh.
to pinpoint it…..you mean since ND’s catch.
Since Valentin K’d with a runner at third, you mean.
Happy 4th, Geeks!
You too, Nye. You doing anything interesting with the weekend?
nothing like recounting fond memories?
No no, specifically, it was the moment that Cliff Goddamned Floyd dragged himself on the ground… unable to use his legs, hand over hand like an infant or a dying man crawling out of a foxhole to distract the enemy for his friends to escape because he was gonna die anyway… up to the plate to have a completely ineffective pinch at-bat and everyone in the world other than Willie Randolph knew it.
That was the exact nanosecond all was lost.
not much gonna saddle up the east river over in LIC to watch the works tomorrow. BBQ at the parents house sunday.. pretty vanilla stuff
you mean when willie was “confused”?
a coworker told me to watch changeling… im not entirely confident in her movie choices. Is it worth it?
Lunk, I’m calling you out on this for the second time. ND and Valentine had the BASES LOADED and stranded all of them. Big difference. ;)
See, I still point to Valentin K’ing. Runner at third, less than two outs, right after Endy’s catch…. Valentin drives in that run and, in my mind, the Mets never look back. Cliff Floyd never bats that game.
Yes, but you HAVE to get the one run in with less than two outs. More would have been great. But just scoring that run without even needing a hit…. that changes the game. Endy had to get a hit to score someone. That’s more forgivable. Valentin just had to put it in the play.
Nye, I have no idea what a “Changling” is.
bah not a good sign
willie should have sent someone up to bunt instead of sending cliffy out there
I was at Game 7, Section 11 Upper Reserves. My first game at Shea above the age of 21 (10 years running) that I did not drink one beer inside the stadium. I refused to miss a pitch on bathroom lines.
My Game 7 heartbreaks:
1)ND and Stache rally killing AB’s with bases loaded stranding all 3 runners in the bottom of the inning that ND made The Catch.
2)Yadier…obviously (or should I say Heilman)
3) Reyes frozen rope liner to the CF’er which might of tied up the game.
4) Willie not bunting and putting in a hobbled warning trak powered, ground ball away from a season ending DP Cliff Floyd.
5) Tron’s AB with bases juiced to end the game on that nasty 12-6
As much as people get on Beltran for striking out there, he’s the last one I blame. He was the victim of probably the greatest curveball Adam Wainwright has ever or will ever throw.
I was at the game too. It started pouring just as we got outside the stadium to get on the train. perfect end really
boooo they’re doing them on the hudson this year!!!
I heard. Kinda weird. Makes jersey happier, I guess.
I think Wainwright would be an awesome closer. What a game. You know, if you’re a cards fan.
its only this year though.. fuck jersey.. that kinda puts a crimp on my plans
The question is, what’s more important? An awesome closer or a slightly above average starter?
Huh. Didn’t notice Wainwright’s stats this year. He’s much better than “slightly above average” now.
The end of that game was not Beltran’s fault.
He got some nasty pitches right there.
But had the Mets had the balls to keep Floyd off the NLCS roster and have ANYBODY else in that last-bat-off-the-bench role, you just can’t know what would’ve happened.
Any position player worthy of being on a 40-Man Roster of sound healthy COULD HAVE done something there. At least had a CHANCE to.
Floyd was practically on a goddamned ventilator at that point. But Willie Randolph thought that a dude on a walker could be Kirk fucking Gibson.
I would still punch Cliff Floyd in the face if I met him in the street for allowing Minaya and Randolph to put him on the active roster for the LCS.
his walks are up..but he’s alright. And I think a slightly above average starter is more valuable.
Hah…I got the geek on my bberry all of a sudden….woohoo..LIRR ont he geek.
I didn’t blame tron…I just said it was heartbreaking.
I hate the fact willie didn’t bunt.obviously we will never know.
