i don't know Zvon, in that same sentence the radio guys claimed that the Mets won a "big playoff game" here in 2000. The Mets, od course, did not play the Padres in the 2000 playoffs.

Centerfield wrote: Valentin up. Because God forbid we should get our leadoff man aboard. God decided to let Valentin get on, but not by any positive action on Valentin's part.
You know what i'd like to see if the Mets don't score? Bottom 8th- Jorge Julio pitching to Barry Bonds with runners on. You want to earn our trust back? here's a big chance.
West coast trips usually go this way. They'll walk Bonds with one out which i wouldn't do already down 2 runs, now you NEED a DP or the game is essentially over.
3-0 to Lance Niekro with Bonds on deck? Niekro should be seeing a steady diet of fastballs this year not 3-0 counts. He singles on the 3-1 pitch to bring a run home.
i gave them a pass on the last game because they thought he'd e ready to play soon, well its not soon enough, the end of the SD series should have been the end of any reasonable waiting period. DL HIM.
WHAT THE FUCK? WHY IS CHAVEZ HITTING FOR HIMSELF THERE? IF BELTRAN CAN'T BE USED THERE SEND HIM TO THE DL and get us anotger guy who can play CF so that we can at least use Franco in that spot and put a defendive sub in afterwards.
Matsui safe at first on a bad throw by Vizcaino (he should have pocketed the ball for an infield hit and not risked an error to score Nady), the run doesnt score obviously but at least the inning is extended.
On the radio Rose just said "jose reyes' average is down to [whatever it is] but more importantly his OBP is .271" Have anouncers finally seen the light? Reyes gets the RBI in!
