  1. ]You're asking for crap from the past now? no, but you're making it sound like the mets are idiots for not picking up over the winter, but obviously all 30 clubs didnt want him, so unless you actually said you did want him at the time its unfair to criticize the Mets on that point now.
  2. ]Christ, they could have picked up Wigggy on waivers this winter. The Pirates were giving him away. Explain that move to me. show me where you said that this winter, the pirates might have had him on waivers but the other 29 clubs were just as low on him at the time.
  3. no nonsense or diluted votes from 62
  4. ="Bret Sabermetric"]="Elster88"]I'd rather have Benson.. Huh.You don't think this club need a powerhiitting 2b man more than they need a starting pitcher? ="Elster88"]They ain't trading Wiggy for Julio. They don't want Julio. Huh. Why not, do you suppose? Do you think somebody got rubed somewhere along the Wiggy-for-Benson-for-Julio road? Who, oh who, might that someone be, I wonder? All that remains, really, is to trade Julio for a bag of baseballs, and our work here will be done. For someone who knocks the Mets for their so-called "CYA moves" it's pretty weak for you to be looking at the Benson trade as Wiggy for Julio. the Mets didn't have Wiggington on their roster in January 2006, They had Kris Benson. Are you suggesting they shouldn't have dealt Benson because of who they traded to get him? Isn't that the same twisted logic that says "we've gotta start Zambrano because we traded Kazmir for him"?

I'm not saying this is a likely explanation, just an alternative one that doesn't involve the temperature. Except hitting doesn't increase in September, it declines. I'm talking empirical findings here, which do not come out of one's ass. i read what you said backwards, my point is still the same, do these studies link scoring to TEMPERATURE or just to the calendar?

  7. the problem is you get games where only 8 or 9 people vote, i wouldn't want to eliminate the outliers there. you also get games, particulartly weekday games when everyone is working, where 90% of the voters will vote based only on the boxscore, and thus that "outlier" 2 given to the 0-4 Cliff Floyd will get eliminated, only that 2 came from someone who watched the game and saw Floyd scale the wall to rob a homerun and also saw him gun down a runner trying to take an extra base. i think its fine to ask extremely weird votes (the guy who gives 1 point to a pitcher who goes 8 innings 1 earned, or the guy wo gives an inning of mopup work more credit than the go-ahead homer) to explain themselves and to throw those votes out as typing errors if we don't get a response. oh yeah, and with the decimal points i think we should limit it to 1/4 points if not half points.
  8. Delgado 1 Floyd 1 Bannister 2.5 Oliver 1 Sanchez 1.5 Heilman .5 Wagner 1.5 Feliciano .5 Bradford .5

Why waste a lefty on Eric Young and Adrian Gonzalez when the only hitter in that lineup you should be scared of - Brian Giles - is a lefty? I can't believe there's more harping on bullpen usage when it gave you 8 scoreless innings on the road. When should Willie plan for the Mets to have given them a lead? The 36th inning? the point is that once you're past the 8th inning and tied you need to not use any pitchers for less than a full inning or two. the bullpen did perform well but Willie didn't.
  10. Wiggy won't keep hitting like this. Benmson was pitching fine, it was dealing him for Julio that was the mistake, the first trade was fine.
  11. agreed that they are playing better than their lofty record. Is that colf-weather thing statistically provable? it seems rather intuitive i was just curious if there are numbers out there.

  13. its a big game for them i guess, you don't want to lose an extra inning game at home having also lost last night with 2 more to go. Pedro needs to throw 110 pitches tommorow regardless of how well or poorly he is pitching, if he's not doing well too bad, take one for the team.
  14. the yankee "anouncers" are amongst the biggest cheerleaders in pro-sports. As team captain, jeter gets his fair share of blow jobs, mostly from Waldman.
  15. FUCK SHIT DAMN MOTHERFUCKER
  16. Bradford will pitch the 14th! Pedro better go 9 tommorow...

  19. Wright strikes out. Floyd grounds to first base. it's up to Nady...
  20. Bradford k's the side!!!! lets get 5 runs so we can safely insert Julio. If we only get 1 run i say we go with PEDRO!
  21. Gwreck wrote: Is it still a golden sombrero if it takes 13 innings to happen? i always thought it needed to be all your ABs for the day but i guess not. Bradford has 3 k's.
  22. in the preseason predictions thread i had 4:23 for the longest game of the year, that would mean a 2:28 AM ending tonight, right?
  23. I'm not worried about the bullpen in the long-run, i have a reasonable amount of trust in 3 guys (Wagner, Sanchez, and Heilman) and I'm not adverse to 3 more (Oliver, Bradford, and Feliciano.) thats ALOT better than i feel about the pen most years. what i am worried about is the bullpen TONIGHT, in that we burned it out pretty quickly and may get stuck using the one guy out of 7 that i don't trust at all.
  24. WHAT???? Willie pulls feliciano for bradford, virtually assuring that the mets will run out of pitchers if they dont win or lose it next inning.
  25. Fuck the padres got a man on.
