All Purpose Schaefer Discussion Thread

[MFS62]

I'm still trying to figure out how Jose Lima tallied as much as a .12.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oliver's one of the most important relievers in the pen, besides everybody else.

He's made his spots more valuable than they otherwise would be with his excellent performances, but don't be mistaken, he's gotten the least valuable spots.

Yancy's new nickname is Katherine Harris. One of these days I'll have to slip in a mysterious vote for Pat Buchanan.

[Elster88]

For those who missed tonight's game, Beltran made a very nice leaping catch at the wall in the first, saving a run. IMHO, it was worth a little beer.

Voting for Wednesday night's win in Florida will close early this weekend. Voter turnout is still on the low side, especially for a Mets win. So be sure to vote if you haven't already.

="Nymr83"] ="Yancy Street Gang"] And please remember, if anyone decides that they want to throw Roberto Hernandez a bone, it's RHernandez. Thanks! And remember, no comments in the voting thread! haha!

Thanks (I guess) Namor, but as I think I've pointed out, it's okay to make comments in the same post as your vote as long as you don't include any numeric characters. But you're correct in that anything that may lead to conversation within the voting thread ought to be discouraged, because that would just be more clutter that I'd have to weed through.

Voting for Thursday's game in Florida will close on Tuesday morning.

Voting for all three games against the Phillies will close on Wednesday morning:

• Friday night
• Saturday afternoon
• Sunday night

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Okay, the Phillies games are all closed out. Here are the month-to-date and year-to-date totals, up to the minute excluding last night's game against the Padres.

(Voting for Tuesday's Mets-Padres game will close on Friday morning. I'll sticky it on Thursday.)

[Elster88]

Going into yesterday's game, Lo Duca was 43 for his last 100.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Serious lack of votes for the two Padres games so far.

Voting for the Tuesday night (8/8) game will close tomorrow morning. Be sure to get your votes in!

[Elster88]

I do not believe Maine deserves any Schaefer for last night's game, and I am taking into account the run scored.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I gave Maine 1 point based on the strength of his first five innings - I felt that they were worth a sip of beer.

[Elster88]

I was tempted. From reading the articles and IGT it sounds like he was really solid through the first few innings. But I'm trying my best to stick to basing my beer distribution on the game as a whole.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

He was better than solid - Maine was commanding for the first five innings.

Then the wheels just fell off.

[Elster88]

Sounds like the same story as his first couple of starts.

I'm pleased.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

In dolling out beer today, one thing that won't show up in the box score is that Valentin made a really nice play to get the runner at first to end the bases loaded threat in the 7th inning. No matter what else happens today, Porn Stash has earned at least a sip of Schaefer.

[Elster88]

Good call. I was going to say that too. I second.

[seawolf17]

I third. My points we simple: 2 for Trax for getting us there, 2 for Bradford getting the ground ball, 2 for Valentin getting to the ball, 2 for Delgado for the scoop, and 2 for Tucker for the GWHR.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Voting for the third game of the Padres series
will close on Tuesday morning. Be sure to get your votes in if you haven't done so.

Voting for the entire series in Washington will close on Wednesday morning. I'll sticky them on Tuesday:

• Friday night's loss
• Saturday night's win
• Sunday afternoon's win

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I wouldn't give Milledge any points for tonight's debacle. His poor defensive play in the first inning helped open the floodgates for Philly.

I agree that his fielding hurt him tonight, even in my scoring.
A 2 for 3 in a game like this one would usually net you a 1 or 2 in my book.
I threw him a .2 - so it did cost him.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I can see that logic. But I still wouldn't give him any beer for tonight's game.

The capper was when he was out on the basepaths for getting in the way of Reyes' batted ball. Sheesh!

Lol--agreed. No excuse for that on the bases--he was already past the ball!
He was already past the grounder and he somehow lets it hit him--thats weak.

Sometimes just a tini weeny sip of beer when your thirsty can be torture - thats my plan--to torture him.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A bit of side talk in a Schaefer thread is going to be inevitable when two people post threads simultaneously.

[stevejrogers]

I'm starting to think we should give out cookies instead of beer on this kind of night!

[stevejrogers]

Stale, moldy, "America's Choice" cookies, not Peperidge Farm, Nabisco or any top shelf cookie!

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Very strange that the 13-0 blowout in Philadelphia is getting more votes than games in which the Mets beat the Nationals.

Tonight's the last chance to vote on the Washington games. Voting will close tomorrow morning.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Namor, you were the only one who voted on the Washington games this morning, and it looks like your votes were wiped out. Please vote again if you see this before the voting closes on Wednesday.

Anyone else who cares to vote for those games please do so.

[nymr83]

i dont care enough to do it again, its still in my private totals.

as for today's game i gave Reyes a 4. if the voting is about helping the team win as opposed to individual performance/compiling stats then the 2nd homer wasnt very important and the 3rd was essentialy a single/walk with that score. i still gave him 4 because the 1st homer gave us the lead (temporarily) and i won't entirely discount the others.

the pitchers got .25 per inning which i think will become my standard rate for mop-up duty.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]
