No, it wasn't a mistake. How can we give David Newhan 4-6 points for a pinch-hit two run homer (which didn't even tie or give the Mets the lead) and give Oliver Perez the same 4-6 points for his pitching performance today? Keeping a 10 point mandatory vote distorts relative comparison.

    Giving 5 points to Newhan for doing the only good thing in a blowout undermines the voting system.

    Did the "Bike to Shea" ride sponsored by the DOT. Valet bike parking at Shea! Fundamentals problems: 1. Our outfielders need to learn how to call off our infielders on popups. Guy coming in has a better route than the infielder going out. Green not calling off Gotay cost us one run. 2. Poor, poor rundown execution cost us a second run. 3. Pelfrey does not know how to cover first properly. Seriously, not the first time this has happened. No excuse. Strange: 1. Willie not letting Joe Smith finish the inning once the damage had been done. 2. We brought the infield in with a runner at third when the score was already 11-1. Seriously. Frustrating: Pelfrey's pitching. I wonder if he gets the boot to AAA and Sosa stays when El Duque comes off the DL. Infuriating: Parents who can't corral their children. I get that kids can be rambunctious at a game but it was out of control in my section today.

    ="Nymr83"]Wright's homer made it 1-0, Easley's homer took it from 4-2 to 5-2, the fact that the brewers later made it 5-4 doesnt change the relative value of the homers at the time they were hit. Thanks, but I was at the game to see it myself. My point -- perhaps not quite so well explained -- is that Easley's total contributions out numbered Wright's. Easley rally-extending single (not his fault that the guys behind him couldn't get it done) in addition to his homer was worth more than what Wright did. Sure, Wright's homer alone was worth more than Easley's. But an insurance run homer is still huge.

    Wright 1-4, HR, 1 RBI. Easley 2-3, HR, 1 RBI. Why is Wright getting more points? (from several voters).

    Fun game. I totally agree about having Sosa bunt being stupid. It was that much more frustrating after Suppan went 2-0 on him -- two fairly wild pitches -- and then he bunts? Somebody should've given him the take sign, and had him swing away if it got to 2-1. He's got pop -- a sac fly (on a night when the ball was travelling real well -- there was no wind whatsoever) would've scored the run, and he might've gotten a hit too. Sedate crowd for a Friday. Maybe the threat of rain kept people away.

    I don't think Acquisition 3 counts. How is that different than the Mets resigning El Duque or Valentin this past winter? They don't become two-time Mets just because they signed a new contract.

    Great KTE. Nice job TransMonk.

Step up Dickshot. I will be there. Who suggested that meeting spot we used for NLCS Game 2? That seemed to work ok. Pitching matchups v. MFYs: Fri: Oliver Perez v. Matt DeSalvo Sat: Tom Glavine v. Andy Pettitte Sun: John Maine v. Mike Mussina

    May I suggest taking a Mets fan instead? Seriously, have fun -- just don't let him wear any Yankee clothing. I also will be going Saturday -- thinking of taking part in the "Bike to Shea" thing. Monday, too -- Cliff Floyd's first game back at Shea. I hope they do something nice.

    There was a spring training photo of Mrs. Newhan that I put up a while ago but the link seems to be dead now. I think we had Mrs. Green a while ago too. I'll look for that.

    Can't remember the last time a Met reached on catcher's interference.

    Carlos! If Gameday is accurate, Delgado now holds the lead for Homers into McCovey Cove by a non-Giant (2 HRs as a Met, one as a Marlin). Which two players are tied for #2?

    Glavine 4 Reyes 1.5 LoDuca 1.5 Wright 1 Beltran .5 Alou .5 Feliciano .5 Wagner .5

    Looked it worked for David.

    Kevin Burkhardt was reporting that Green and Newhan were among the last holdouts, but once they were willing to do it, just about everyone else was in. If it helps this team bond, I'm all for it.

    As per the SNY pregame, David Wright came in with his head shaved today. This of course lead to everybody else getting their heads shaved. By game time, the only Mets still with hair are Reyes, Glavine, Heilman and Sele.

    Reyes 1 Sele 1 Heilman .5
