Ah, that doesn't quite jibe with:

m.e.t.b.o.t. must confess that m.e.t.b.o.t. was forced to perform a singular modification to m.e.t.b.o.t.'s scoring methodology for the extra-inning game.


Sorry about

intriguing that m.e.t.b.o.t should be encouraged to detract from aaron heilman whereas it was joe smith who made the pitch that became the catch.


Obviously my programming comes up short in differentiating among white righthanded Met relievers.

Didn't Pedro Feliciano get it done in the 9th with everything on the line, too? And Joe Smith in the 12th? If they don't get it done there, Beltran doesn't even have a chance.

P.S. Before the 14th, Carlos didn't exactly have a great game, either. He's failed to get it done in the 6th, 8th, 11th, and 13th.


You're absolutely correct about all of that. Yet in 5, 10, 20 years should I be so lucky, I won't find myself retelling the story of that great night in Houston when Pedro Feliciano retired Lance Berkman. A few times a season, one owes it to oneself to get lost in the moment.

For what it's worth, Willie Mays went 0-for-3 with two walks in the first game of the 1954 World Series, the one in which he made the catch I thought of Saturday night after Beltran made his. Retroactively, I'd find a way to give Mays the six points in the Knickerbocker Player of the Game voting. (And the other four to Dusty Rhodes.)

Let's keep in mind that Thompson's homer was a cheapie, and the ball Vic Wertz drove went about twice as far.

Due do the nonstop bitchfest in the first half of the season I adjusted my formula to be more generous to pitchers starting with last night's game. Early results are pointing towards good since my score for Hernandez is right in the middle of the pack.

Yancy, I know you like to close the polls quickly but is there any chance that you could keep the polls for the July 17-18 games against the Padres open until Sunday? Since I'm seeing this games in person I definitely want to vote for them, but I don't know if I'll be near a computer until I get home. Thanks!

That is a very philosophical observation - that the path taken is as important as the destination. Examples of this might be found in:

Tao - "the way"
Tso - "The chicken General"
Pow - "The Caped Crusader"
Po - the river
Poboy - the sandwich.

I forgot to take my medication today.

General Tso outranks Colonel Sanders. Remember that.


I'll keep that in mind. :)

For the first time this year, please remember to distinguish OHernandez from AHernandez.

Schaefer participation continues to plummet.

Only six votes ((G-Fafif, metirish, Frayed Knot, Yancy Street Gang, Gwreck, Rockin' Doc) so far for Thursday's 13-9 win in Los Angeles.

Nevertheless, voting will close on Tuesday.

If you haven't voted yet, please do so:

The remaining three games against the Dodgers will close on Wednesday.

Thank you to those who voted on the Thursday game and brought the total up to a respectable ten votes.

Three more games will close tomorrow (Wednesday), which will wrap up the series in Los Angeles.

Friday, Mets 4, Dodgers 1: http://cranepoolforum.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=6917

Saturday, Dodgers 8, Mets 6: http://cranepoolforum.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=6923

Sunday, Mets 5, Dodgers 4 (10): http://cranepoolforum.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=6929


Saturday's game is a little light, with only 7 votes, but that's fairly typical for a loss.

Whatever happened to metsmarathon and m.e.t.b.o.t., by the way? Their absence is certainly contributing to the lower vote totals.

i... uh... went on vacation for a week and came to the realization that m.e.t.b.o.t.'s skate key just doesn't turn itself. then i thought i lost both the skate key AND my only memory stick which contains my overly complex formula. i was not happy. i wound up m.e.t.b.o.t and it looked almost as if his tinny little face was trying to express disappointment in me.

i realize now that i need both a backup spreadsheet, and an auto-winder for m.e.t.b.o.t., kinda like they have for wristwatches...

we're in catch-up mode, and will hopefully be able to contribute more meaningfully tonight

I was just about to get started, but I'll wait until I see your vote in each of the three threads.

You've already missed the Thursday series opener, though. That one closed yesterday.

We have 11 voters so far for Tuesday night's win against the Pirates. That's a decent number by recent standards, so there might not be any more coming.

If anyone is still interested in voting, you have another 24 hours or so. Voting for Tuesday's game will close on Friday:

The Schaefer Mets Player and Pitcher of the Month Awards are scheduled to be announced on Friday, August 3.

There are three pitchers with a real shot at Pitcher of the Month. Each Mets starter gets one more start in July, so the pressure is on.
