[Guest Edgy DC]

]I still don't like VZ though, is there a kazmir/zambrano trade tracker thread?

No, but Jim Duquette demands that there be one.

Yup. I think the last year before they filled it I recall Maz taking a spill over the top out in Left and the announcers being concerned for Maz's saftey

This had to be 87-88

i will start one tommorow if nobody beats me to it

[Guest Edgy DC]

A lot of Met batters seem to have their timing off, but Nady just keeps hitting the ball hard.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets looking to get a third inning out of Pedro Feliciano.

[Gwreck]

I wonder who has the most AB with a .000 career Mets batting average, and I wonder if Jose Valentin will break that record.

[metirish]

Bases loaded for the Braves......DP ends it, sounds like that should be looked up on Gwrek.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bonehead Delgado.

Gwreck, I'll give you a hint: as with many Aflac trivia questions, the answer is in the ballpark tonight.

[Gwreck]

John Franco is 0-15 in his Mets career. Any chance he's there tonight?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I didn't know we were counting pitchers, but not Franco.

Big day, Jorge.

http://www.getalifealready.com/cpf/MilestonePostAvatars/SacredSeaver2.jpgInteresting outing by him tonight.

6th inning: Oustanding
7th inning: Effective, if flawed
8th inning: Coronary

And here comes the J-spot.



Edit: Ah, the Seaver post ... as lame as the previous 40 and the next.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Getting Betemit on an off-speed pitch. Coolio, Julio.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fastball on the paint fans Langerhans.

[metirish]

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jorege Julio, Bravekiller.

[Gwreck]

This one is going to be a pain to look up. Help?

Well, they sorta are.

[Guest mlbaseballtalk]

Seaver went POOF!

[metirish]

Game over, Davies was brilliant tonight, hope this game doesn't put the Mets in a slump.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Game over.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Let's get that rubber game Wed. afternoon, and put this one behind us!

[metirish]

Yes Hillbilly, lets do that and win a fifth straight series.

[Centerfield]

Hail!

Zambrano sucks.

[DocTee]

HAIl!

[Guest GYC]

Hail!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Hail Big O!



We were out at the theater tonight. An awful show. Even worse than it would have been if we were home, watching this suckitude.

Ah well, we can still go 159-3.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

What happened to the cool Seaver icon? That thing was a work of art.

Looks like I picked a good game to miss most of tonite.

Strange thing, our cruddy work softball team was getting similarly slayed.

[Frayed Knot]

Various Observations:

1) If you're gonna not hit and gonna not pitch ... you might as well do them on the same night. Less frustrating that way.

2) For all of Zambrano's "STUFF" he really seems to lack a killer out pitch. Every RBI tonight was w/2 outs and many of them were with 2 strikes. It was an overall sucky game which was actually within the realm of actually being a good game except that he couldn't put 3 or 4 hitters away when he had to (I know ... other than that Mrs. Lincoln how was the play?). More frustrating that way.

3) I like both Keith and (to a lesser extent) Darling but I've never been a fan of 3-man booths. These 3 aren't as bad as most but I still prefer 2 and it would certainly avoid some of the confusion of voices and kissy-face stuff that was being talked about.

4) Best line of the night: Keith: 'If David Wright were born in the '50s he'd have been a Mouseketeer'

5) Not that it mattered tonight, but I'm always amazed at how many balls are hit directly at Atlanta fielders. I know you can study charts and play to your pitchers' strength and all that but it still seems to happen for them more often than can possibly be explained by forethought. Baseball's just not that predictable.

6) At least the Yanx got embarrased. After 4 or their first 5 batters scored in the top of the 1st: (Jeter triple, Sheff single, ARod HR, Giambi HR) staking the Big Eunuch to a big lead before he even took the mound ... he didn't make it out of the 4th and they wound up getting whomped 10-5

7) At least it was quick (2:10)

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I saw the end of the MFY game.

Sheff nonchalanted a fly ball in right (as he always does)
and drops it. Dude later scores on a wild pitch.

Humlliating loss for the MFYs for sure.

[metirish]

Yeah I have to say I am getting tired of hearing about the "great stuff" Zam has,show it please, nice to hear about the MFY though, thanks FK, Leiter was doing that game, i tuned in in the first, man he never shuts up.
