I read his hurt knee was only bothering him when batting righty---
so that may have been their thinking.

Fools. ;)

Lot's of good stuff coming from the booth tonight - Keith was definitely relishing talking about "clutch" hitting...

LoDuca drops a foul pop leaning over the railing into the Red dugout. That runner got on base, and moved to second on a tapper. As Bradford gets pulled by Willie, LoDuca apologized to him. He also apologized to Pelfrey before for not blocking a wild pitch. What a nice man.

I know Dunn and Junior are coming up, but did he really need to pull Bradford with a five run lead and two out? I guess if Dunn homers then it's a 3-run game.

So how many Mets have hit grand slams in back to back games?


Gary just mentioned Robin Ventura's grand slams in both ends of a double-header in 1999 - I can't believe I didn't remember that...

They're at the top of their games today. Great stuff.

Though I'd MUCH rather listen to Sterling's theatrics and have Waldman burst my eardrums and claw my brain.

Ok - I caught that sarcasm... Either that, or you are really a masochist...

Two words can sum up the stats we just saw on the Red bullpen: "they" and "suck".

No wonder they made that gawd-awful Kearns trade.

Mets up 7-3 going into the 8th...

Wright works out a walk to lead off the 8th

Keith....

"anytime you have Jose Valentin hitting 8th that's making a statement"...

Who would have thought anyone would have been saying that about Jose after his terrible start.

It was a Sunday afternoon early season DH IIRC.

Though I was about to remark how little the bunt accomplished that inning except create the very clutch situation they spoke of. Moments before Keith was telling us Marrerro's sac bunt was an example of "the little things the Mets do to win."

I was flipping between the Mets and MFY games on myu radio earlier. Waldman was on her knees over how fantastic Ponson was in the first inning, right until he let two guys on and surrendered a 3r HR to Sexy.

Exactly. Until this year the statement would've been "We need a new shortstop."

I remember during the Padres series in April, their announcers mentioned that having Jose Valentin on the bench was making a statement as he would be a starter on 26 out of 30 teams. I remember mocking them on this very board for that commentary.

I was wrong.

Yeah, but he also shows a (possibly intentional) misunderstanding of what those 'sabrematricians' (he practically spits when he uses that term) are talking about when they discuss the concept of "clutch".

I have heard Keith say more than a few times that he's "old school", and we know that those guys hate sabr.

you were right. if we'd released him at the time i'd have to think he'd be unable to find an immediate MLB job and would have to hit at AAA for someone to get another shot.
he's been hitting very well lately, but i think he's over his head and i pray that we look for a 2Bman (though not before we shore up the rotation) this offseason.


edit- added quotation because there are now other posts after it and before mine
