]Mazzilli never should have been hired in the first place . . . (he) sure didn't display a dynamic personality.

Baseball Insider Ken Rosenthal

[Guest TheOldMole]

Good answer by Willie. From the Daily News.


So why not start Seo earlier, given Ishii's troubles?

"I never second-guess myself," Randolph said. "I never do that."

Piazza on catching in 90+ heat:

"I've felt like Lawrence of Arabia out there."

[Guest TheOldMole]

Willie, on why he's not giving a pep talk before the road trip:

]You don't want to raise robots and tell them everything.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

That's a great quote. Can you imagine what would happen when the robots know everything? Professor Frink knows:

]You've got to listen to me. Elementary chaos theory tells us that all robots will eventually turn against their masters and run amok in an orgy of blood and the kicking and the biting with the metal teeth and the hurting and shoving.

"To me," says Phillies closer Billy Wagner, "guys who scuff the ball or put pine tar on the ball -- that's not cheating."

[Guest Elster88]

On David Wright's barehanded catch:

]"If that's not the play of the year, I'll protest," Mientkiewicz said, already lobbying ESPN to give Wright an ESPY award. "He had better not get a girlfriend between now and the ESPY's, because I want to go with him."

[Guest Willets Point]

Then we'll have to put Mientkiewicz's picture in the wifey watch.

[Guest Edgy DC]

[Guest Elster88]

From the same source:

]"When you have your fourth and fifth guys out of the lineup, it's hard. Then you end up with Doug Mientkiewicz as your cleanup guy." --Mets manager Willie Randolph, on Doug Mientkiewicz and his career .405 SLG hitting cleanup

Ouch!!

All right, then Edgy's pic will have to replace the bachelor in the wifey watch. Should help maintain gay icon status.

[Guest metirish]

Marlon Anderson on Beltran/Cameron...

]"I couldn't imagine being a paramedic, going to the scene of a wreck," Anderson said, "because that's pretty much what it was -- a wreck. Personally, I haven't seen so much blood. It was like a car accident. Two people running their hardest, then colliding in mid-air trying to catch the ball. It wasn't good."

="Edgy DC"]Don't listen to WFAN, go read a cereal box or something.

You both make strong points

[Guest Frayed Knot]

I heard 2 seperate callers since Sunday attempt to make the argument that Williams intentionally didn't catch the ball because of some long ago feud he supposedly once had w/Pedro -- "he hates him, I know he hates him" -- and at least one other referred to the triple as "an error".

In all cases the host(s) were wise enough to dismiss them with extreme prejudice.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

]"Maybe he'll finally be fired before that,"

---Kris Benson on whether he and ex-manager Llyod McClendon (not the best of friends) will talk during the upcoming Pirates-Mets series

[Guest Nymr83]

way to go Kris!

[Guest Elster88]

Not baseball, but funny:
"Don't say I don't get along with my teammates. I just don't get along with some of the guys on the team." -- Terrell Owens

[Guest OlerudOwned]

]When I was 15, I had a poster of Dwight Gooden in my bedroom. It said, "Dr. K says no to drugs."

I like it, it will be a reminder that his post was his 41st.
