  1. Game on the line here. Diaz has to be in.
  2. “Not THE Speedy Gonzalez”. Lol
  3. Iglesias needed to take a pitch to let Marte steal there. And then grounds into a DP. Not the sharpest inning for the Mets.
  4. =ashie62 post_id=168623 time=1725409094 user_id=90] Nimmo shoulda had that
  5. Did Peterson give Larry Vanover a look as he walked off the mound? If so, I think I like him a little more.
  6. Benjamin Grimm wrote: They need to go above .500 over their last 23 games in order to avoid 120 losses. I want them to go no better than 39-123. Not only do I want them to lose more games than the 1962 Mets, I also want them to have fewer wins. Agreed. 121 is important. 123 is the real goal.
  7. The Brewers will have clinched by that final series. Hopefully they put out a scrub team. Although I wonder if teams are subscribing to the “stay sharp” theory now that the post season is so drawn out.

What's killing me is that he's sitting next to perhaps the loveliest young woman in Chicago, and she's got a sad face on because the Sox are losing, and instead of paying attention to her, he's ignoring her and acting all, "Hey, look at me being the worst cliche of a sports dork!" Priorities, man. You don't get analysis like this anywhere else. Exactly right Edge.
  9. Come on guys. Don't get complacent. Tack on.
  10. =MFS62 post_id=168021 time=1724965986 user_id=60] I'll be at the Binghamton- Hartford game on Sunday. I'll post my evaluations of the prospects, but I doubt any are ready for call-ups this year. Later
  11. Like I was saying. Megill consistently solid.
  12. He can't throw any secondary stuff for strikes. And it's not deceptive enough to have anyone chase it.
  13. How many times does that have to happen until he closes his stance. Maddening.
  14. Tonight the Sox have the pitching advantage. Statistically anyway. I don't really know much about Cannon except he has a great name.
  15. Wow. What a nice win. Great bounceback for the Mets, and particularly Diaz.
  16. Atlanta leading 4-0. Why are all the WC teams so fucking hot
  17. Frayed Knot wrote: =metirish post_id=167634 time=1724674089 user_id=72] It seems we have been complaining about bullpen management for years 'Bad bullpen management' is the low hanging fruit of the blame game and it usually means one of two things: * I'm pissed off because we lost a game late and I'm looking for someone to take it out on * he brought in someone I don't like ... and since every bullpen on every team ever has at least three guys in it who someone has chosen as a designated whipping boy then it's a handy and oft-used go-to Yesterday two of the guys who shouldn't be on anyone's shit list and were both well rested combined to cough up three runs and two HRs while retiring just two of the last six batters they faced. If that's the manager's fault then so is the weather.
  18. My beef is with Manfred and his stupid “everyone and their mother makes the playoffs format”. The Mets are a mediocre team. Usually by now they'd be out of it and we'd be significantly less frustrated. Resigned to wait for next year. But definitely less frustrated. I've asked myself why I'm so irritated watching games this year. I think it's the aggravation of rooting for such a flawed team with a playoff spot on the line.
  19. Wow. That was miserable. An hour plus of literally nothing going right. I'm out. Hope they get a hit. I fucking hate Musgrove.
  20. Stanek following Blackburn kinda demonstrates how shitty Stearns was at the deadline. Shoulda just sold.
  21. Yeah. I know he's had some good starts but I don't see anything about Blackburn that suggests he's going to be any good going forward.
  22. Some splits. The Mets are now 8th in MLB in runs scored. Tied with San Diego, though we have played one less game. They were 8th in MLB in runs scored Pre-All Star, and are 9th in MLB in the second half. So while they've definitely cooled down from their torrid stretch, their second half hitting is more or less like their first. As far as pitching, the Mets are 19th in team ERA, and 22nd in WHIP. Obviously not great. The high WHIP is due in large part to the large number of walks (4th highest in MLB). Their starter ERA is 4.21 (18th) and WHIP is 1.29 (21st). Bullpen numbers are interesting. Their ERA is actually lower 4.01 (15th)., but their WHIP is similar to that of the starters: 1.31 (21st). I would have thought our bullpen numbers would be a lot worse. I guess the numbers back up our overall impression of the team. They hit well enough to make the playoffs, but the pitching isn't really there.
  23. Musgrove's overall numbers aren't great, but he's been solid since coming back from injury. 8.1 IP, 1 ER. 73 pitches his last time out, so you'd guess he's just about stretched out by now.
