In Todd we trust for a rally:

]We've been waiting so long, We've been waiting for the sun to rise and shine Shining still to give us the will Can you hear me, the sound of my voice? I am here to tell you i have made my choice I've been listening to what's been going down There's just too much talk and gossip going 'round You may think that i'm a fool, but i know the answer Words become a tool, anyone can use them Take the golden rule, as the best example Eyes that have seen will know what i mean The time has come to take the bull by the horns We've been so downhearted, we've been so forlorn We get weak and we want to give in But we still need each other if we want to win (Hold that line, baby hold that line Get up boys and hit 'em one more time We may be losing now but we can't stop trying So hold that line, baby hold that line) If you don't know what to do about a world of trouble You can pull it through if you need to and if You believe it's true, it will surely happen Shining still, to give us the will Bright as the day, to show us the way Somehow, someday, We need just one victory and we're on our way Prayin' for it all day and fightin' for it all night Give us just one victory, it will be all right We may feel about to fall but we go down fighting You will hear the call if you only listen Underneath it all we are here together shining still

You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony

Show me round your fruitcage
'Cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
You'd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest

I'm going to be-the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
I'm your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it

Sledge sledge sledgehammer

I've kicked the habit
Shed my skin
This is the new stuff
I go dancing in, we go dancing in
Oh won't you show for me
And I will show for you
Show for me
I will show for you
Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you
Only you
You've been coming through
Going to build that powerr
Build, build up that power, hey
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
Going to feel that power, build in you
Come on, come on, help me do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
It's what we're doing, doing
All day and night

[Zvon]

I love that song.
They always closed with that(Utopia).

:)

[Zvon]

and some Peter Gabriel too!

Ahhhh--this makes the whole night worth it.
Thx guys.

After a game like this i needed that.

And to think I stayed home just to keep tabs on this game.
Worst decision ever!

Ok, maybe just this week.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

This team needs an All-Star Break.

[Frayed Knot]

Obviously, getting one dinky hit isn't going to get the job done no matter what else you do ... but we've just been getting killed by the running game lately; both ours AND theirs.

- Endy getting picked off
- Franco getting picked off last night
- the strikeout/throw DP with Valentin (who was out by about 10 yards)
- Reyes getting tossed at home on a play which he should never have been sent
- Reyes also got picked off last week and caught stealing as well (pitch out)
- Meanwhile Bernie Williams is 65 years old and steals one virtually uncontested, as did Coco yesterday and it's happening with LoDuke AND Castro

Giving away outs, and giving up extra bases

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Absolutely killing us.

[Guest Edgy DC]

]Meanwhile Bernie Williams is 65 years old and steals one virtually uncontested,

I don't know what you mean by virtually. He was uncontested.

Let's also add letting David Ortiz move around the bases on productive outs.

Your summaries are always spot on FK.
Bing bang boom zing zang zooie.

[Guest cleonjones11]

Does Jose Valentin think he can run...He's been nailed stealing or stretching 5 times lately smiling all the while

Delgado and Loduca are not second half players...Never cared for Trachsel

Time to put Dontrelle Willis on the board...Milledge and Nady maybe they might want Humber too...

[Guest cleonjones11]

David Wright looks lost or scared..Reyes too..oh thats right we're playing the American League....

As long as the Marlins heads are above water, Willis aint goin anywhere.
And I would rather he did for the sake of my fantasy teams.

Delgado and Loduca are not pigeoned holed like that.
Trachsel says he never cared for you much either.

Valentin may have had some baserunning blunders recently, but he wasnt smiling. Thats a 24/7 grimace he wears.

I always enjoy hearing your input Cleon. Especially when it sensable enough to respond to.

Lost or scared?
How about just a funk because they have contibuted and won so may ballgames for the Mets they are just taking a breather to reminise before they recharge and start doing it again.
