Isn't Milledge's suspension over by now? If so, why are we still seeing Carlos Gomez?

My thoughts exactly.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Sat, Sun, Mon would be three days ... I've seen nothing on this but maybe
Willie is sending him another message.

[Valadius]

Not fucking Gomez again...

[bmfc1]

It's because of Gomez's baserunning skills. Oh snap!

Something along the lines of, you lose control and act like an ass and I will bury you so deep on the depth chart that you will wish you were in Binghamton. Even if such a display of my authority cost the team to potentially lose games going down the stretch in a heated pennant race.

[Guest martin]

this is gonna be a fun game. i am looking forward to seeing these humber curveballs. seems like every other met throws a ton of sliders. it will be a nice change to see a curve or two.

Internet speculating on my part, I have no idea.

Could also be ...

* we can fuck this up without you, bro
* I don't trust you since you acted like that
* he's got the flu and they don't want anyone to know
* he really did hit on one of Willie's daughters at a function (as I think I also
internet speculated once) and Willie wants to see him castrated

Willie may not be expecting more than 5-6 innings from Humber, in which case Milledge (or Green) probably comes off the bench to PH and stay in the game. So it may not matter too much that Gomez is starting.

No, I don't think it makes that much sense to start a guy hitting .230 just so that you can pull him out of the game in the sixth. Just trying to figure out some logic behind the madness.

'Course, if Humber can go deeper into the game, so much the better.

[Guest martin]

big guy, that humber, listed at 6'4 210, looks good, looks confident. i remain optimistic.

[Zvon]

Nice 1st inning for Humber.

Rollins just lead off the Phils game with his 19th triple of the year.

[TransMonk]

Way to go Carlos.

C'mon guys, I want more.

[Zvon]

[Guest martin]

moises alou is my jesus

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Humber wears his uni loose

f'in back to back. Alou's streak now at 57 games I think

[TransMonk]

Way to go Moises.

I want more.

[Zvon]

[Guest martin]

a coupla dingers, a sweet zvon graphic, humber looking cooler than a box of cucumbers, everything is just about right so far.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Freaking Alou is a MONSTER!! A MONSTER I tell you!

[Zvon]

Whoever can see, how deep was that fly out by Dads?

Says deeeeeeeep center on Stattracker.

Man,...I wanted 3.
Three is a magic number.

[bmfc1]

Make believe that you're the manager of the Braves. Rollins has lead off w/a triple but your pitcher, Tim Hudson--a righty--gets Utley and Burrell. Howard, a lefty is up next. Don't you walk him? Nope. At least he only got a single.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Make believe you are the manager of the Mets. You've had Phillip Humber on your staff since the first week in September. Yet you give starts to Brian Lawrence and wear your bullpen down while the kid sits admiring the view of the home run apple from the seats near the tomato plants....

[nymr83]

Tim Hudson is a top pitcher and its only the 1st inning, why put another guy on base, let hudson pitch

[Valadius]

30

Alou is fucking incredible.

i am with you there. i never see the point of playing replacement level or worse retreads when kids with upside need experience.

[nymr83]

For a team out of contention, the Reds sure have a quick hook... Tom Shearn was yanked after only 38 pitches in the first inning after allowing 4 runs on 2 homers (to Berkman and Lee), a double, an infield single, and 2 walks.

[Zvon]

Whew.
Fick flops out to right with two on.
Close the door Humber!

[Valadius]

Humber can work out of jams, too.

If he does well, I'd really like to see him on our postseason roster.

[nymr83]

i'd like to see him on the postseason roster already, i dont trust our bullpen.

[Valadius]

It's a miracle! Gomez got a hit!
