The New Mets Finances Thread - v.2012 Offseason
Gwreck replied to batmagadanleadoff's topic in New York Mets Talk
Being paid across the calendar year is the exception. I seem to recall that CC Sabathia negotiated that particular provision into his first contract with New York's Junior Circuit team. -
Immediately broken up by Scutaro. Middle of the sixth, still tied.
-
The Mets not being on a 50,000 clear-channel station is a national tragedy. Ok, maybe not. But still a catastrophe.

Daniel Murphy?

Juan Samuel?

Time for someone to go yard off Sabathia

Darren O'Day comes in with two on and none out. Gets out of inning with no runs, ending with a strikeout of Slappy.
-
Ichiro hits an RBI double but is promptly thrown out stealing third. Orioles seem to have a very good crowd, despite the two hour rain delay.
-
1st and 3rd, no outs, top of the 8th, Nationals down a run. What does Danny Espinosa do? He bunts. Not a squeeze play, either -- just a bunt. Moves the trail runner from second to third. I thought Davey was doing a better job than that.
-
I see that one of the popular themes about last night's AL Wild Card play in is how the O's shocked the Rangers. Or how the O's stunned the Rangers. I just don't get how any result from a one game series involving two pretty good teams could surprise anyone. No kidding. Worth keeping in mind: the Orioles and Rangers had the same record. This one-game playoff would have been necessary even if they were using last season's rules.
-
Wait, why did we let Darren O'Day get away again?

Wonder how the St. Louis Post-Dispatch will treat their headline tomorrow.

It's not a judgment call (safe/out). It's misapplication of the rule, because the call was not made immediately as prescribed by the rulebook. The "ordinary effort" thing is the judgment part (which was ALSO wrong).
-
Just when you think the umpiring can't get worse. This is why some basic replay is needed. The correction is easy.
-
Beltran single + Chipper error + Holliday double sets the Cardinals up for three runs and a 3-2 lead.

Most of my favorite Met moments occur when I'm in attendance but I have one from this season that sticks out in my mind from watching on the radio. I was in Paris in early July and had just come back to the hotel after attending one of the greatest concerts I'd ever seen. It was a long show, ending past midnight (Paris time), and after post-show drinks and food I was still wired, so naturally, I put on the Mets game (it was about 4:00 AM at this point) -- just in time for the Mets' rally in the ninth against Jonathan Papelbon. Murphy beat out the infield single for the tie, and then Wright got the winning hit, and I was able to experience it through the magic of the internet, gameday audio and the dulcet tones of Howie Rose. Perfect.

Jose-Jose-Jose, of course. Second one is...ummmm....

The last out of the no-hitter is an obvious choice (and previously mentioned), so I'll pick another one from that same game. I keep score at (just about) every game I go to. Plus, I am a Mets fan. Hence, I start thinking about "is this the night" after the second consecutive batter is retired. It's not an all-consuming thought, but it's always going to be there in the back of my head. The moment from me was when -- that evening -- things moved from the "this could happen" to "wait, this really could happen!" When Mike Baxter made that catch and crashed into the left field wall (on a ball that none other than one Yadier F. Molina had hit) that was when you knew.
