Carlos Delgado Helps the Pitching Staff

[Guest Edgy DC]

By not batting against it any longer.

He's worn these guys to bits.

No wonder Anna Benson doesn't like him.

[MFS62]

Four dingers against Zambrano?
I'm surprised the Victor was able to throw that many strikes in 27 PA.
Or is Delgado a "bad ball" hitter?
The number against Pedro is interesting by comparison to the others because he is the only Mets starter who comes inside enough to send the hitter a message. When was the lasttime we saw a Mets starter back a hitter off the plate (aside from batters ducking one of Zambrano's errant tosses)?

The numbers against Pedro are still pretty brutal. I don't think these figures have anything to with a willingness to throw at batters.

Question: If Kris cheats on Anna does Delgado get to be a part of Anna's revenge?

[Theoldmole]

Only if he stands up.

[metirish]

Very impressive numbers, I'm glad his on the Mets, how does he do against the pitchers in our division?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Crushes Washington.

Crumbles Atlanta.

Chomps what's left of Miami. (Obivously very little history here.)

Solid but mortal against Philadelphia.

[MFS62]

Hmm, he has nice numbers against Glavine and Hampron.
He must hang in there against lefties, eh?

Hampron?

I can't tell if that's a typo or one of those Valadius nicknames that I just don't get.

[Elster88]

I think Hampton's nickname is "Bug Eater". Or possibly "Feces Flinger".

Actually those are better than dolphin-face.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Dolphin Face has tradition on its side. We're keeping that one, dammit!

True enough, that name predates me. I'm not advocating it's removal or trying to be the nickname police. Just trying to ruffle some feathers.

Before my time, but was dolphin face a mortal enemy of our favorite squid?

[Willets Point]

Nah, Dolphin Face had set up camp by the fine public schools of Denver long before Squid swam into our pool. Dolphin Face's main rival was David Whales.

I deserved that.

LOL! (and then I groaned)

LOL.

Looks like a typo. That wouldn't be my style, anyway.

[Guest KC]

Reading about the Denver schools, I forgot there's a picture on my server
of Bret SalliemetriQ trying to break into Dolphin Face's estate that I meant
to post in the our pictures thread. I'll do it later.

[Willets Point]

Dr. Bret SalliemetriQ G would be more complete.
