Reyes vs. Braun & Other Average Troublemakers
MFS62 replied to G-Fafif's topic in New York Mets Talk
Nobody is making much of when Wade Boggs sat out the last 4 days of a season and won the batting title. Later -
Good job, Monk. Honestly, I would rather be right about a 107 win, WS Championship prediction. Later

However, Collins says he felt terrible about the move, knowing fans paid good money to see him play. What would Derek Jeter have done? Michael Kay was dumping on Jose. He said he could be ok if the Yanks sat Jeter so he could finish at .300, but what Jose did was not ok. Kay's just jealous that Reyes is better than Jeter. Fuck him. Later -
Just saw the box score. Thayer, with the best WHIP and the second best ERA (to Acosta) in the bullpen takes the loss. Ain't no justice. Later

I have no idea. Just heard on radio that the Judge limited the Wilpons' liability in the lawsuit to under $300 - max. Still don't know what that will do to their ability (or desire) to retain him. Later

IIRC, the Cubs traded their manager to their broadcast team, and the guy came down from the booth to manage the club for the rest of the year. Could have been Charlie Grimm and Lou Boudreau. Later

And with a 2 for 3 today, Braun is at .333. Later -
The next time I see Pelfrey's face, I want it to be next to the story that says he's no longer a Met. I don't care whether that's by release, trade, or buying a hit from the mob. Anyone want to chip in? Later
-
I hope it will be fun watching RA Dickey in a Mets uniform for many years to come. Later
-
I'm wondering where the Mets team is that generally hits this guy pretty well. Later
-
I really wasn't concentrating on the 200 hit years, but have been rooting for him all year to get his avg over .300. Looks like he won't make it. He'd get my vote for the Hall of Fame. Later

Looking back on that list, it appears the best thing that happened was that 26th rounder Chris Gump did NOT sign. Oh, the bad jokes we were spared. Of course, another DNS - Darrin Erstad turned out ok. Later

If you've see the Audi ad, in which a guy found a baseball signed by Honus Wagner and gave it to his dog, what are your feelings? He knows it is important, and still has chosen to give it to his dog to chew up. Either he is someone who knows about, but doesn't care about, baseball history, or he has so much disposable income he thinks he can always find another one. Either way, it not only makes me not want to buy an Audi, but it makes me want to drive down to my local Audi dealer and tell the manager how really stupid that ad is. Later

It kinda snuck up on me how bad this staff was but I guess it was that stretch in late July where we couldn't keep Florida or Washington off the board. They were also exposed a bit when we lost Muffy, of all people. The strange part is there's no outright weak link --- like those years in the aughts when we spent the whole season looking for a number five starter. This year there's nobody in the rotation that won't be a big league pitcher next year --- and maybe only Igarashi among the top seven releivers. It's just that there's a whole lot of fair to middlin'. On the excellent-good-average-fair-poor continuum, there's a massive cluster around fair. In his book Baseball is a Funny Game, Joe Garragiola described Cubs pitcher Bob Rush in a way that might be appropriate. He said Rush was "just good enough to lose with". Later

IMO what happens to Pelfrey in the off season depends largely on what Sandy can do to improve the pitching. That's a nice way of saying that I would trade his ass in a heartbeat. I wish Chris Young a very speedy recovery. Later

I think the current setup stems from a time when a player didn't get three option years like today(able to be yo-yo-ed several times in each year), but three actual options- period. And major league teams used the September callups to check on the progress of the player during each year. I like being able to see the prospects I've been following all year. And I'm willing to endure the LaRussa-esque machinations of September games to see them. Of course, all this is a distant rumor to Mets fans, since most of the players I would have wanted to see (Capt Kirk, Lutz, Ratliff, Martinez and Mejia specifically) all ended their seasons on the DL.

According to Baseball-Reference, David Freese, now playing third base for the Cards is not related to Gene Freese, who played third base for the Reds 50 years ago. Later

At his current rate, Parnell can catch Mariano's saves number in only another 120 years. No sweat. He'll get 'im. Later

This was the guy who announced "coming into the game is ex-Detroit Tiger Octavio Dotel". No Mets soul. Later

The Mets minor league system. The remaining team, the Savannah Sand Gnats lost 7-3 today, and were eliminated in the SAL championship series 3 games to 2. Later
