Who the hell is Ramon Martinez and when did he become a Met?

[Frayed Knot]

Not to be confused with Pedro's older brother who is retired at the present moment and you could look it up.

This one split the 2008 season between Las Vegas (LAD system) and New Orleans and was called up with the rest of the horde last week.
He'll be the logical replacement if/when they want to give Reyes a rest.

[DocTee]

Ramon played in SF for most of his career, and was a favorite of Dusty Baker.

[Theoldmole]

No TV?

[TransMonk]

MLB.TV has the Phillie broadcasters. What a crock!

On edit...now they have switched to SNY...as it should be.

[Zvon]

No Burrell?

Good.
Dunno if you guys heard but I hat that guy.

[Zvon]

I get the Phils on TV thru Comcast.
I don't mind these announcers at all.
They are very good.
All very imformative baseball talk, no fluff.

[Zvon]

Nice first half by Pedro.
Lotta off speed stuff.
Curves working for him early on.

[bmfc1]

EI and mlb.tv have the Mets guys.

[bmfc1]

Joe D. struck out 369 times in his 13 year career--Howard has K'd 184 times thus far this season.

[Zvon]

Phils plate 2, Dobbs double over Tatis head the big hit in the inning.
Ruiz 2 out RBI single was big too, Pedro allowing the 8th spot hitter to drive in a run with a line single to left.

[Zvon]

Hope the Mets get to hittin the ball today.
They are looking patient.
They are having Moyer throw a good number of pitches.
But Moyers hitting his spots and we are gonna have to hit the ball.

[Zvon]

Ha.
What an awsum lead off bunt single by Cancel.
That was just a picture perfect bunt.

[Guest AG/DC]

Wow, does Gil Jr. look like his dad!

[Zvon]

AG/DC wrote: Wow, does Gil Jr. look like his dad!

I wish I could see that. How old is he now?

[Zvon]

Carp.
Wright has a good at bat but can't keep it going.
Moyers almost up to 60 pitches after 3.

[Guest AG/DC]

I'm going to peg Gil Jr. for his late fifties. His son Gil III, if I recall correctly, was in trouble a few years ago, but got off with probabtion for a manslaughter rap.

[Guest AG/DC]

Greg Dobbs has a slappable Gregg Jefferies face.

[Guest AG/DC]

Now I really want to slap.

[TransMonk]

Shitballs.

Anytime the offense wants to show up this series, it would be appreciated.

[Zvon]

When I saw Dobbs was in for this series I just knew he was gonna be trouble.
He's usually just off the bench to pinch hit, and very good at that.
Charlie Manuel had a feeling Dobbs would be big and decided to start him.
Damn.

[HahnSolo]

The last remnants of my confidence in Pedro have disappeared.

[Zvon]

OMG.
That had to be caught.

[Guest AG/DC]

The phrase is "Yo la tengo," Nick.

[Zvon]

I know Evans was coming in and should have had the easier play, but he didn't see it at all. Nor was he calling it.
Reyes, with the more experience, should have made that play.
He pulled off too early.

[HahnSolo]

Hate to say it, but September 2007 is rearing its ugly head again.

[Guest AG/DC]

Pedro has had plenty of help. Giving up on him doesn't put the Mets in a better position today.

[Zvon]

0-6 Phillies.
I don't like this at all.

The way this year has gone there is almost no way this year can be viewed like 2007.
