  1. As we were all reminded yesterday there is nothing worse than the Mets losing a day-game rubber-game while you're at work. That's the worst schedule there is. Late night starts can be challenging but if they're getting 1-hit in the 6th inning you can at least go to sleep, Giants iirc always had the latest starts -- 10:30 at night, back in the day, I'd have to be asleep before they started.
  2. Learn more about Todd Zeile at your local library!
  3. There were two issues with Zeile and the Cardinals that soured the relationship. in 1994 he lost a contentious arbitration hearing in which the Cardinals used his defensive struggles at third base against him, not acknowledging they moved him there and had him learn on the job. In 95, Zeile contended the team withdrew a contract extension offer after he injured a thumb in spring training.
  4. Mendoza doesn't strike me as the kind of manager who can even confess to there being a problem. His approach is all about propping up his guys in hopes that they have the ability to figure it out themselves.
  5. Rogersfest features the best independent filmmakers dedicated to movies about beer
  6. Loverboy gonna be sent to AAA in about 5 minutes.
  7. I'm not comfortable with it. The players are the best in the world and make mistakes all the time, there's no reason the umpires wouldn't too. Also, you know this is setting the stage for no umpires at all, which I'd miss. That said there's a Jomboy video from this weekend in Cincinnati showing that CB Bucknor called 20 pitches strikes that weren't strikes by ABS (just 5 were challenged and overturned)
  8. "This guy's got a good fastball--and he's in love with his slider."
  9. Surprised Lieper didnt send Lindor on the triple
  10. I just read up on this and the line is that Mendoza decided before the series to be "aggressive" as though such a decision precluded common sense with a game on the line. We may as well commit to being "aggressive" about whether Tim Lieper and Mendoza suck ass.
  11. Lindor was so out my first thought was that he must've blown through a stop sign. We were watching in a bar with no sound but i never saw them show what if anything our 3rd base coach did. If he waved him in that was really bad judgement and made Lindor look like an idiot.
  12. This doesn't make any sense. Ken Boswell?
  13. Strawberry Fields would work, if we didn't hafta have the word Mets in there. LFG Mets a favorite of many: You Gotta Relieve
  14. Neither one is any good. Lots of people have already triend the Willets Point thing, seems like, and Grand Central is too un-Metlike and/or too much like Grand Slam Single and you know what happened to that room. It's probably too late but there must be a better thing out there. A Bob Murphy remark or a Ramones lyric that could do double duty and signal in code that this was a place for thinking people to engage in Mets discussion and also be welcoming.
