    Call-ups due tomorrow: Brian Bannister, Mike Pelfrey, Kelly Stinnett, and according to Gary on the SNY broadcast, Phillip Humber. I didn't hear him say Lastings Milledge but I've got to figure he's coming back too.

    I believe this game is best described as shitty shitty crappy shitty.

    Thanks for digging up that data. Fascinating. I probably was devaluing the homer slightly in my analysis, but it's interesting to note that having baserunners and the tying run at the plate changes things rather than a solo homer. As for the Schaefer voting -- I wouldn't deny Carlos points, I just think 2 is too much. I think he's getting a larger point total due to the overall dearth of Schaefer-worthy performances.

    I'm glad that Carlos (no, the other one) spoiled the shutout in Houston too, but I'm going to pick up my crusade about solo homers when we're down two not being that helpful. 2 points for Delgado is excessive.

    I'm all in favor of David Wright and Paul LoDuca getting days off, but not using them as pinch hitters in the 8th (in place of Woodward and DiFelice) is tantamount to giving up...in a 2-0 game.

    Ahem. RMPL. (He's scheduled for Saturday)

    September 16 and 17 in Pittsburgh. I know, they'll have clinched by then but I've wanted to see PNC for a while now and the timing worked out well. Couple thoughts: 1. Wow, tickets are easy to obtain. Even for sold-out games, like the Saturday one (it's Jack Wilson bobblehead night). 2. The Pirates, like the Mets, have a "ticket exchange" where season ticket holders can sell their extras online through the Pirates website. Here's the good part: PA law restricts selling them for above face. You pay the Pirates surcharge, but it's not too bad (a % of the ticket price). Enter seats approx. 8 rows behind the Mets dugout. 3. You can get Outback Steakhouse to take to your seat -- and they sell Primanti Bros. sandwiches in the stadium. That alone might be worth the trip.

    ="Yancy Street Gang"]We should be happy about the game the Braves won, not the one that they lost. Hey, rules are the rules until we officially end the Braves' run.

    9/2/06 - Mets 4, Astros 2

    I guess (?) this counts. Split doubleheader and all. Triple Happiness #15 September 2, 2006 Mets 4, Astros 2 Philadelphia 16, Atlanta 4 (Game 2) Minnesota 6, MFYs 1.
  16. Gwreck
    Atlanta 4, Philadelphia 3 (Game 1)

And that's going to be interesting - I don't know that they'll be able to start the first game at 1:05, get it completed, and clear out the fans so that those with tickets for the 7:05 start can enter the stadium. It will be interesting. That's pretty standard scheduling when separate-admission doubleheaders are required.

    Yancy Street Gang wrote: So Stinnett, or even Alfonzo, could still be on the postseason roster even though they weren't promoted by August. Extremely unlikely that Fonzie will be there. ="Adam Rubin's Blog"] All indications are Edgardo Alfonzo will not join the Mets. It would've been a nice story, but do you really want to risk losing someone like Henry Owens or Matt Lindstrom off waivers to make 40-man roster room for a nice story?

    Bump for the returns of AHernandez, Ring, and Bell (for the 5th and final time -- is that a record?)
  20. Gwreck
    at Houston Sat: John Maine vs. Jason Hirsh Sun: El Duque vs. Roy Oswalt vs. Atlanta Mon: Steve Trachsel vs. Chuck James Tue: Dave Williams vs. John Smoltz Wed: Tom Glavine vs. Lance Cormier (?) vs. Los Angeles Thu: John Maine vs. Brad Penny Fri: Brian Bannister/Mike Pelfrey/Oliver Perez vs. Chad Billingsley Sat: El Duque vs. Greg Maddux Sun: Dave Williams vs. Mark Hendrickson Note that the LA series is a tenative projection. Skipping a Trachsel start might be necessary to help set the rotation for playoff purposes. Look for Pedro to return during the series in Pittsburgh, September 15-17.

    Because that 2.87 ERA just isn't good enough to get him a spot, you know. (It's not meant to be snarky -- just to illustrate the point that I don't think they can justifiably take less than 10).
