  1. ]It would have been the first walk-off home run that David Wright had ever hit in his life. How about in Strat-o-Matic?
  2. When was the last time David did the walk-off homer thing?
  3. Nice to see that they double-switched Murphy out of the game. He's the only one who's been hitting.
  4. I would've stuck with Smith.
  5. Whatever happened to Raul Cassanova and Gustavo Molina?
  6. I think I would. Or, if there's a righty pitcher, I might go to Delgado for the two-run bomb.
  7. I agree with leaving Smith there after a 1-2-3. I'd even let him come to the plate if the Mets have already scored by the time he's due up. I'd rather see him finish (he's only thrown 4 pitches) if possible than switch to another pitcher with unknown stuff.
  8. That double play is HUGE. If the Mets end up winning 3-2, Smith should get the save, regardless of whether or not he's the finishing pitcher. (He's due to be the 4th hitter in the upcoming inning, by the way.)
  9. End of the 7th, 99 pitches. Let him take the mound for the 8th, I say.
  10. Maybe the Padres will accommodate us by doing a lot of first-pitch swinging.
  11. I voted Kunz but I hovered over Smith for a while.
  12. Very nice! Johan's now thrown 89 through 6. Should be able to go at least one more. Hopefully the 7th goes quickly for him and he can pitch the 8th.

  14. Santana's out. Jose up with two out and two on.
  15. When I see "D. Murphy" in the box score, I still think "Dale."
  16. Evans delivers, singles in a run.

  18. I'm always happier to see Castro's name in the starting lineup.
  19. John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: AReyes I don't believe will ever be much of one. I'm not quite ready to write him off yet. My guess is that he won't be a regular starting infielder, but he might be a decent 2B/SS bench player. I don't know if it will happen, but I'd like to see Murphy get some time at second base this year. I'd love him to take over the position next year, if he's up to it.
  20. Omar really hasn't behaved like the GM of a team in the heart of a division race in mid and late July. It's all been about waiting. Waiting for Alou. Waiting for Church. Waiting for Orlando Hernandez. Now they got lucky with Tatis, and they may get lucky again with Daniel Murphy. And maybe with Eddie Kunz. But Omar's been really passive this year. It's strange that he has this reputation for "aggressiveness." I think, overall, he's a mediocre GM. If he's let go after the season, I won't have any complaints.
  21. Huh! The Mets would have priority over the Red Sox, I'd think. I wonder if they can jump in there. (I suspect though that the Red Sox and Padres have a deal in place, and if Giles doesn't clear, the waivers would be revoked.)
  22. I think Wright is in greater need of a "blow."
  23. Voting for Tuesday night's win over the Padres will close on Friday morning. Schaefer POTG 08/05/08 Mets 6, Padres 5 This San Diego series will be the last to be tallied for a while. I'll be leaving for two weeks in Hawaii late in the day on Monday. I may pop in here from time to time to vote and maybe even comment, but no tallying will occur. Please continue to initiate the threads and vote in them. (I haven't been doing a whole lot of initiating anyway.) I'll get all caught up after I return on August 26.
  24. Martinez 3.5 Murphy 2 Reyes 1 Feliciano 1 Schoeneweis 0.5
