  1. way to cough back up the lead pelfrey! walking people and plunking them isnt good.
  2. that was a decent, though not great, time for a steal. stealing with 2 outs is good, stealing with your best hitter at the plate might not be. the first inning should have been bigger. great to see the two homers from reyes, but based on past experience i want to make sure he doesnt try to put the ball in the air more now
  3. schoenweis reminds us all why we dont like as he walks the opposing pitcher to lead off the inning, intolerable.
  4. reyes boots a double-play ball so of course the next guy hits a 3-run HR
  5. I'm sick of derek jeter commercials during met games.
  6. he had 5 full season as a dodger plus a cup of coffee in '92 and the partial year in '98. he had 6 full seasons as a met plus the trade in '98 and 68 games in 2003. here are the OPS+ numbers for the full years only sorted highest to lowest not chrnologically: LAD- 185, 172, 166, 152, 140 NYM- 155, 147, 137, 134, 108, 104
  7. ]Perhaps it was when Carlos Beltran went down swinging for the last out of 2006 I could swear he went down LOOKING, way to get your facts wrong. yeah, i'm sure me and everyone else on this board has occassionally made a similiar mistake, but when you're a professional writing a column you just need to research things better.
  8. ]Randolph is a moron, plain and simple. It's a desperate move to pull the race card. I am almost embarrassed to admit that Randolph was one of my idols growing up. Chris Ruddick isn't a very professional journalist, plain and simple. It's a desperate move to call managers names instead of describing their flaws. I am embarrased to admit I read Ruddick's column.
  9. wow. Alou managed to get a whopping 14 games in before returning to his home ont he DL. i still like him because he is good when healthy (and they weren't foolish enough to sign him long-term like they did castillo) is there really no better option to call-up than casanova? wheres mike carp? michel abreu?
  10. i'd like a player who can knock multiple opponents straight out of the game.

  12. ]Its' late May and the season has denigrated into a bullshitfest..Good Lord.. The Mets are 22-22, 3.5 out of a Marlin team that likely won't be there in september and 2 behind the phillies and braves, i'm not happy with how the mets are playing but its hardly as bad as you make it out to be.
  13. Pelfrey will be at about 80 pitches at the end of the 3rd here...
  14. Reyes singles, Reyes steals 2nd, Chavez grounds out reyes to third, Wright singles Reyes scores. 1-0 Mets
  15. ]5. A few days after Roger Clemens beaned him in 2000, Piazza said that the incident had made him reassess the DH. "I thought the DH could be a good thing for me later in my career," he said, "but now I see that it's bad for baseball, because the pitcher can throw at the batter with no fear of retaliation." So what did he do after leaving the Mets? He shopped himself to American League teams with hopes of becoming a DH. None of them were interested, so he signed with the Padres, but then he went to the A's, where he happily DH'd. Hypocrite. Not the first, or last time someone, let alone a baseball player, made a declaritive comment after a real bad situation, then went back on his word, but again, as Bill would say, show me where he said that. i don't think that make him a hypocrit at all. he thinks its bad for the game, but that doesnt mean its bad for him and he'll take advantage of it as long as it exists.
  16. Arguing over the message on the brick and then doing polls would be fun enough for a dry week next offseason, whens the brick deadline?
  17. The second game of the double header is now under way
  18. Daryl Strawberry was a better hitter for the Mets than Piazza. perhaps Piazza was more valuable as a catcher, but Strawberry's raw offensive numbers are flat out better.

  20. ]If I was to retire the number of any player that has worn the Mets uniform, it would be #31 for Mike Piazza. I assume you mean besides the one that is already retired? Heres an interesting question for you all: regardless of your position on whose number should be retired, how would you rank the posibilities from 1 to 10? I'd probably say Hernandez, Piazza, Gooden, Carter, Koosman, Strawberry, Franco, H.Johnson, B.Jones, Kranepool
  21. ]�But I have to say that my time with the Mets wouldn�t have been the same without the greatest fans in the world. One of the hardest moments of my career, was walking off the field at Shea Stadium and saying goodbye. My relationship with you made my time in New York the happiest of my career and for that, I will always be grateful.� and people say the boobirds turn off players, pfft!
  22. ="Benjamin Grimm"] I don't know who it is either. But I really don't think it's Willie Randolph. There's little point in replacing Willie with a different manager unless it's also a better manager. It's easy enough to find one who's more fiery. My criteria is someone who's smarter, and that's harder to identify, at least from where I sit. certainly we can look at other guy's with experience and see if they do the right things... don't bunt like crazy for no reason, dont bring in 5 relievers in 3 innings, etc.
