is it dirty? maybe. will these teams see each other again in 2005, 2006, or 2007? no. the A's picked a perfect time to be dirty if dirty it actually is.

where did those 3 runs come from? can't this bullpen do anything right?

>]What was that about Piazza being both washed up and done? one homerun in the last 35 days or so....that doesn't change my opinion of him any.

first homer in over a month for Piazza.i'd find a kaboom picture, but i'd rather find a picture of Ramon Hernandez (soon to be a FA) and photoshop a Met uniform onto it.

yes, but until their OBPs top .300 they will be criticized at every possible opportunity on my part.Jose Reyes and his .280 OBP leading off is a fuckin joke.

if you want short-term dominance he is the best pitcher since WW2, possibly ever. his lack of longevity sucks, especially considering that today he'd probably have been able to pitch 20 years with the joys of modern medicine.

Benson had better hold this lead.my two "favorite" middle infielders ended that rally.was anyone listening to WFAN in the 1st or 2nd inning? apparently Cameron will be leading off when he gets back...but does that mean Wright will remain second?...of course not says Willie the fool....why move the amazing .280 OBP of Reyes down to 8th in the lineup? who would do such a thing?]Hey, Carlos homered and Pedro's not even pitching! Maybe Benson grew his hair out for today's start or something.met pitchers will now wear a black wig as part of the uniform.its pooring in oakland now, but thegame is official so let it poor!

Viva los Mets! viva la revolution!

Piazza isn't "due" for anything but retirement. he's washed up and done.Daubach has two walks in 3 PAs today, very encouraging.Wright is the man but you don't carry ateam batting 7th every day...Willie is a fool.Floyd already did carry the team, its someone else's turn.

]the 160$M the city will have to kick in actually SAVES the city money, because otherwise we're contractually bound to provide upgrades for Shea that have been estimated at $200m.An interesting point which i had not heard before. I'm always in favor of saving taxpapyer money, though i usually have no problem with the city providing infrastructure improvements as long as they aren't paying for the park itself.heres my wish-list:1. pitcher's park with at least the same dimensions as Shea to all fields. deeper is fine too.2. open-air in the outfield (ie..not a football stadium) so that the wind can kill fly-balls as it always has and always should.3. lots of foul ground. i can't afford front row anyway so what do i care how far away it is? the view from the upper deck will be the same either way, and the view from the mound will be much nicer when balls that should be long strikes become outs instead.4. bleacher seats open to the public more than one night a week.5. some sort of tribute to Murphy (and eventually Kiner)6. a place for Seaver's number that actually has room next to it for other numbers...you know, as if we are actually gonna retire one again some day.7. affordable tickets, currently $5 upper deck seats are available to select (read: shitty) weeknight games. this had better continue, its a welcome change and as a real fan i could care less about the opponents, i'm fine with seeing the brewers at $5 over seeing the Yankees or Giants at $18 a seat.

FUCK!!you cant win game scoring 2 runs. this team is a damn joke.

byebye Royce..intentional walk to Hatteberg? i'm not sure about this one...

in Anaheim, Chad Cordero just pulled a Franco in a 1-run game loading the bases with nobody out and wiggling his way out of it.The Mets look terrible at the plate again tonight except for back to back doubles. Another wasted pitching effort by Zambrano who has been suprisingly solid lately, he clearly wants to show the team that any call for a replacement (or a speedy return by Traschel) should be focused on Ishii not on him.

when did the Mets drop to 8th in homers? they were first recently werent they?this road trip could end the season as the teams in our division are finally hot and going 2-4 out west then losing 2-3 to the yankees could turn this into a rebuilding year in a hurry.

i hate when linedrives are straight at someone.

the fear of Wright has struck oakland, as they have gone to the bullpen!whats with this earthquake thing? will the tsunami wipe out half the Mets roster?it ain't called the Coliseum for nothing....let it flood and fill it with vicious man-eating animals!!

by popular demand, our new starting Battery...ignore the blinking light on the catcher..."i could pitch better than that master Luke"

we suck, and Glavine hasn't fooled anyone. his best bet for getting an out would be to stare at the hitters and tell them "these aren't the pitches you are looking for"

if you're going to name the stadium Bob Murphy stadium is the way to go, otherwise justr go for the corporate sponsor. I have no interest in seeing a "seaver stadium"

best regular season game ever, makes me very mad that i chose to work today over going to the game, but hey at least i saw it.

welcome back!!!

ishii can't be a reliever, too many walks...oh wait he cant be a good starter for that reason either...GET RID OF THIS CLOWN ALREADY...please...i promise i'll stop complaining about kaz matsui if Ishii is gone by the end of the week.

The question I ask now is what do Reyes and Matsui compared at SS look like? is the difference as great as it is at 2B?Those numbers are terrible, and look even worse when you consider Mientkiewicz at 1B for most of Matsui's games and god knows what (Piazza, Valent, etc.) at 1B for Reyes' games.

Castro 3Reyes 2Floyd 1.5Wright 1.5Mientkiewicz 1.5Ring .5ugly, just ugly, thanks alot Ishii, when can we have Traschel back?

also, we can get a discount from Dunn by promising him a new massage chair every season that we won't take away.
