Dickey sucked Saturday, but at least he didn't throw a hissyfit about batting ninth.

The postgame parade of hanging Posada out to dry may have been the most enjoyable MFY moment since 2004. At least as good as the Rangers bouncing them last October. Girardi made him sound like a pouting head case. YES was all "no, there's nothing physically wrong with him." And Posada didn't do himself any favors with "I needed a day." You know what day Real Yankees don't need? A game against their archrivals when then their archrivals' ace is on the mound.

From nine weeks ago today: Observations proffered by Hagin and Coleman today: --League maybe catching up to Dickey. --Murphy not a second baseman. Observation proffered by me: --I think I'm finally getting used to Wayne Hagin. Ceetar wrote: smg58 wrote: One bad inning and the league has caught up to him? Do we really need that shit from Mets commentators? be fair now...it was two bad innings. Be even fairer. They were talking in a broader sense from throughout the spring, and included Bobby Ojeda's assessment in their own. And it wasn't deemed fatal. Dickey ain't dead by any stretch. And thank god the Mets announcers express opinions, not propaganda. Was listening to the Bravescast for a couple of innings and the entire spiel was "watch out Phillies, the Braves are awesome!" Brooks Conrad was a Gold Glover by the time they were done. I hate to say it, but (Hagin, Coleman, Ojeda, whoever) may have been onto something here, despite the sense that the terrorists would win if we explored the idea that maybe R.A. wasn't impenetrable to the league figuring him out a little.

IgaRAshi not as quotable, but just as effective.

R.A. Suckey has reappeared, dammit.

Posted this in KTE thread. Reposting since it seems more appropriate here. Carlos Beltran: King of the Hill Composed in the wee hours of July 8, 2007 A man built a park A man built a field A man said "quirky!" Is what I'll yield I'll make one wall close Make one wall far I'll make another wall stand Behind something bizarre Gonna have a hill Gonna put it where? Puttin' it in center Way the hell out there Nobody digs it Everyone complains But at least there's a roof In the event it rains Two teams played a game Two teams played forever What time would they finish? The teams said �whenever� Cut to the chase Get to the point Arrive in the fourteenth A victor to anoint Lamb on first Burke on third Joe Smith on the mound Now isn't this absurd? Houston had Scott I've heard that before They once had a Scott From the hardware store Not that Scott It wasn't Mike But with first and third What was there to like? One out was needed To keep things tied When Luke Scott connected We nearly died His ball is long His ball is deep His ball might end it That Houston creep Wait just a minute! Wait just a sec! His ball is headed To that pain in the neck It's heading for the hill It's heading there now It's gonna take a miracle Scott can take a bow The hill IS quirky The hill IS high I suspect the same Of the architect guy It's a Crosley tribute? Unique incline? The rest of us think It's just asinine Nobody could catch up Nobody could hope Unless CAR LOS BEL TRAN! Was workin' his lope Carlos ran long Carlos ran deep Carlos kept climbing Carlos went steep He lunged and he grabbed He secured it and soon He fell and held on Like he was Al Toon The Astros were stopped At the one-foot line Wanna play some more? The Mets said �fine� Minute Maid Park Is truly the pits I mean can you believe Where that silly hill sits? But hitting it to Beltran Is your mistake Boo him all you want Go jump in the lake He drove in the winner The 'pen did the rest Tal's Hill is the worst That catch was the best!

Eff Bill Hall. Get thrown out at home on your trot.

Nice shot of Bagwell statue outside Minute Maid Park. Really puts the Seaver statue outside Citi Field to shame.

Shipping that ball out of Houston! [youtube:19ixznw8]qtCAhb5QGSo[/youtube:19ixznw8]

I wish Burkhardt would stop calling things "cool" and "neat". Guys?

The LOB turns. Justin stranded at third.

Keith just addressed his audience as "Kids."

The worm Turners! Drives in Reyes, deficit shortened to 4-1.

They just ran a feature on Collins insisting guys spit on their aches and play. Which is fine as far as it goes, but has the problem for years been Mets begging out of the lineup? Not safe and therefore sorry. Mixed messaging.

F-Mart hitting like a young man again.

45 pitches. Many of them suckleballs.

Dickey's postgame remarks, unless this 3-0 deficit is countermanded at once. [youtube:1yt2bl6l]n03g8nsaBro[/youtube:1yt2bl6l]

I'll likely forget where I was when Carlos Lee collected his 2,000th base hit.

Leadoff triple something to forget about.

So R.A.'s eloquence isn't wasted on a concession speech: [youtube:11uxvbge]Z04r_tlWdRs[/youtube:11uxvbge]
