If they were giving away bags of 20s in the parking lot, I think I'd leave this game.

I think sitting Reyes for a day would increase the odds of the team winning.
He just looks lost.

="bmfc1"] ="Nymr83"] ="bmfc1"]I wonder if tomorrow is "rest the infield day" lose the game day for the Mets. If so, perhaps: C--DeFelice; 1B--Green; 2B--Anderson; SS--Gotay; 3B--Conine... with Chavez, Beltran and Milledge in the OF. Do you really think that the above lineup is an automatic loss against the Reds?

Gotay, Milledge, Beltran, Green, Conine, Anderson, Chavez, DiFelice should be a fairly certain loss against any major league team. if that were the every day lineup they'd lose 120 games

theres nothing wrong with that, but don't make it the same day you sit everyone else down

The Goat fighting for his ABs worth in the 8th

Hell of a walk by Gotay. He tried to wear Salmon out in that one at bat.

Just checking in after a school board meeting.

Nice night for Paulie! That ballpark is a launching pad!

"theres nothing wrong with [sitting Reyes], but don't make it the same day you sit everyone else down"

Game's practically in the morning tomorrow (12:30) and I think we'll see wholesale changes in the starting lineup. It'll get the regs a rest from whenever this one ends until Friday night -- and I don't really have a problem with that.

OK, it took me a second to figure this one out -- not that you're wrong, just wondering how you knew -- then realized it was my post count and quickly added another.

In a September game, against a team struggling to stay out of last place, with Sepetember players of their own, with the Mets throwing out their real pitchers, in a 12:30 game after a night game, they'd have a fighting chance.

You get a big-league lineup of any sort out there, people still have to play, and aren't going to just throw their gloves out there and beat them.

Sheesh, look what they won with last year.

Nobody's talking about every day. Just trying to buy some rest.

So how many posts do you need before you get to be someone decent? So far I peaked at Jim the Bat Boy and it's been downhill from there. I bottomed out at Mel Rojas. I need a Joel Youngblood an Al Jackson in my near postiing future to appear presentable.

days off are fine, i'm just saying not all at once. give Wright, Reyes, LoDuca (why does he need off? he was just on the DL), and whoever else days off just not the same day

[nymr83]

Phillips spanks one. 11-7 Mets

[Benjamin Grimm]

Put it in the books!

[Willets Point]

MLB.tv pooped out with 2 down. Did we win this thing yet?

[G-Fafif]

September's here
And the time is right
For dancin' in the streets!

(Other thread topic, but what the hell?)

[Valadius]

It's about damn time we won 5 in a row!!!

[Zvon]

good show.
Hey-we won 5 in a row for the 1st time this season, at a time we needed it most.

Sometimes I question when Willie sits a guy who has become hot (talking Delgado here), but if he sits all the starters tomorrow and runs their wives out there, I have no problem with that.
He should know better than I what this team needs most right now.

Ray Daviault, Roberto Petagine, and Jerry Cram await you in the near future. Lastings Milledge and Gil Hodges are on your horizon. Joel Youngblood and Al Jackson are unfortunately a long way off in the distance. You can see your future designation and the player rankings here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I like the Mets. Enjoy the Crams while you got 'em.

Check out Zvon as Ray Sadecki. Only Met to ever call my house.

You guys are simply amazing. And I aspire to get to George Theodore (with quality posts) my sometime next month and celebrate with a marshmallow milkshake!

Maybe at the old place. A tale for another day.
