I don't know who Torrana is nor AJ Putz. Putz has to be a joke??

I totally supported trading Sproat and Jett for Peralta. Not a good look for me now

You were not alone.  I too thought it was a good deal, though I would have rather moved  Tong and kept Sproat.  

[Frayed Knot]

Before we get too nostalgic for a future that hasn't happened yet, do keep in mind that Sproat has a 5.28 ERA and a higher walk rate than Peralta, and Jett Williams is hitting .223 in AAA

Torrana (actually Tarana) is the way my Canadian friends pronounce Toronto.

JJ Putz was a right handed reliever who at one time pitched for the Mets.

I think we've seen better throws from Ewing this year than we have from Benge ... and as I'm typing Ronnie agrees with me.

[ashie62]

AJ Ewing throws a missile, gotcha ya!!

There was a time when, if you hit one off the wall, unless your last name was Staub, you were guaranteed at least a double.

[ashie62]

Myles Straw just crushes it, Myles Straw

The Mets are stylish and Shi-Tay

[Edgy MD]

Forfeit score!!

Unless it happens to LF in Fenway, or sometimes Yanqui Stadium RF. And Staub was considerably faster much less slow compared to Kirk, at least on a same-age basis.

[ashie62]

We could only be so lucky

[Edgy MD]

New strategy — let 'em hit a bunch of gappers and throw them out at second.

[Edgy MD]

I was thinking just now that Baty isn't long for this team, and then he got a one-out single, which is an outburst in a game like this one.

But I also get the idea that Andy Green is something of a Baty champion — especially at second base.

[Edgy MD]

Game within reach!

If you are a crane!

"You've seen it the other way around — five, three, one." — Gary Cohen

"Yeah, all the time." — Ron Darling

Dudes, you saw it happen just a few days ago.

Even the broadcasters are sleepwalking here.

[Edgy MD]

Mets pull within two sewers!

[Frayed Knot]

Now this is some true clutch hitting going on here.

Woe Canada
