feliciano gets the job done

go with Kunz please. i don't care that a lefty leads the inning off, i don't want Kunz being set up to fail with inherited runners.

its 15-14 texas now in this wild game

I don't like pulling Santana here. This bullpen has blown like a third of his starts this year, let the guy pitch!

Castro shows why he's in the dog house

Charlie Zink, a 29 year old knuckleballer replacing Tim Wakefield (DL) tonight for the Red Sox, has some early run support- a 10 run 1st inning for the Sox, led by Ortiz's 2 homers in the inning.

Spoken like a true Yankee fan, thinking that the other teams' best players are for the taking for their team to acquire. the Mets have done more than their fair share of that. go suck a dick.

nobody said Red = Win, just that the study showed that red received more favorable calls from the refs than blue. and who knows, maybe yankee pinstripes or celtic green induce even more favorable reactions.

the chinese are looking to benefit from this at the olympics as well with red uniforms

7-5 Pirates fuck fuck fuck

Easley with a great play to save heilman's ass

FUCKING HEILMAN

Both incredible and terrifying all at the same time. were you there for Pratt's HR? that building was rocking

...how the Braves/Bulls always seemed to get the calls http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080811/lf_nm_life/olympics_red_dc;_ylt=AuUrQzIz_X3FobAU1YUEcjxg.3QA ]Now psychologists Norbert Hagemann, Bernd Strauss and Jan Leissing from Germany's University of Muenster have found referees tended to assign more points to taekwondo competitors dressed in red than those dressed in blue. The study, published in the August issue of Psychological Science, was conducted by the researchers presenting 42 taekwondo referees with videos of blue- and red-clad competitors sparring. The two sets of clips were identical except that the colors were reversed in the second set so the red athlete appeared to be wearing blue and vice versa. After each video the referees were asked to score the performance of each competitor, red or blue. The psychologists said competitors wearing red were awarded an average of 13 percent more points and the points seemed to increase after the blue athlete was digitally transformed into a red athlete and decrease when the red competitor turned blue

delgado intentionally walked, its Tatis time!

oh, i thought it would be the wilpons. do they own keyspan or is that also city property?

the bullpen will cost the Mets a playoff spot. they may have already.

and it bites them in the ass as the tying run Mientkiewicz is now at 2nd as the tying run

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO 4 pitch walk to Rivas with this lead is disgusting, throw a strike!

Cancel avoids being sent down with a HR? i still find it hard to justify his presense on the roster

]Startup leagues should use startup-sized stadia. true in general, but Citi Field is already being built and belongs to to the Wilpons who will own the new football team, so it isn't costing them anything extra to play at Citi (i keep typing "Shea" and having to delete it) beyond the costs of converting the field for games and they'd incur a similiar cost at Keyspan (though Keyspan does have the benefit of their season ending earlier so that football doesnt interfere with games)

They probably had a chance before the deadline, yes, but not today. so you think the Reds traded away their best player in secret without making it known he was available? i find that hard to believe
