IGT @ MFY Sun Jun 10 Roider Rat Face GETS HIS!

[Met Hunter]

Losing two of three to the Nats or being swept is one thing. It sucks, but I can handle it. What I didn't need was to be reminded by every passing MFY I know that my team sucks and theirs is the best thing in town. I thought it was kinda quiet after the no hitter. There were a couple of dicks that dropped the subtle "It looked like it hit the line" comment. Completely forgetting Jefffrey Maier of course. But quiet all around. Its like they wait for their moment. This is it. a meaningless three game series in June. No matter that their overpriced team of louts beat a shit team loaded with outcasts and home grown unproven kids. Theyre the best. They hit the long ball. Jeter is God.

Man I hate interleague play.

Sandy, get a shortstop...Tejada is not coming back anytime soon.

Why Rauch over Francisco?? Todays managers are that married to not using the closer unless they are ahead. Cmon already..

[Edgy MD]

Among those or-maybes, can we get something about not lifting the pitcher after 100 pitches?

Our shorstop, error-aside, is hitting .314. The problems don't begin with him.

[Lefty Specialist]

If it wasn't Rauch it would have been someone else. The Mets can't win a battle of the bullpens with any team, least of all the Yankees.

[Edgy MD]

Which, to the extent that I agree, is why I advocate getting every single out you can out of the starter.

I'm being illogical here but since Bay came back we suck.

The Yanx might not have deserved to win this game but we certainly deserved to lose it: 2 errors, 2 pick-offs, 3 bases-loaded Ks plus a weak grounder, missed bunts, getting thrown out on the bases, bad relief paralleling a failure to hit their middle relievers, do I need to go on?

Ha! Bay's been can of corning them all weekend long. So naturally, the one time one of Bay's leisurely pigeon flight fly ball outs would've at least driven in a run, he whiffs.

I'm developing a Frenchy like contempt for the Beirut Bomber because I think he's done. Forkable done.

It's looking like as far as Bay goes, I'll be spending the rest of the summer talking about sunk costs and stunk costs and sunk Mets.

We've been sucking since the no-hitter, actually.

Blaiming Bay for the past week is like blaming the smell of a five-foot-high manure pile on the top two inches.

You know what? I take some of this back. There's no shame in sucking at Bay's age. He's almost 34 and he's two and a half a years older than when the Mets signed him. And to whatever wear and tear he came with, add a bad concussion and a rib problem that cost him about a month and a half of play. There are inner circle hall of famers who were done before 34. I blame whoever it is in the FO that insists on Bay playing because of the sunk costs sunk into him. Who would that be?

Oh, I could blame others. That's easy.

[ashie62]

We need to cultivate the blame.

on Bay, I hated the decision to bring him back. He was sick, he'd gotten 12 plate appearances in the minors. And I'm not sure we 'needed' an outfielder.

So he had off, played in the minors, got promoted, wasn't in the lineup, missed the next game with the illness.. And he's going to have his swing and timing down?

Not trying to exonerate Bay here because he sucks, besides maybe that one ball that he hit 390 feet to one of the only parts of the park that would hold it, but that didn't seem the be the perfect set of conditions to get him contributing.

I'm not real comfortable with this defense suddenly seeming out of practice and now having to play 3 games on turf.
