Come on David.

Come on Tom. Toughen up.

This is no good.

Fuck.

Come on Reyes.

Yahoo! Error! We'll take it!

3-0 on Chavez! Wheels are coming off!

Yay! Base hit!

Ok. Here we go. Bottom of the lineup coming up. Hudson looked like he was laboring a bit last inning. I think in this frame we knock him out of the game.

Wright grounds out first pitch. Wright's not right this series.

Bottom Five. You know, I don't think the no hitter jinx works when you're rooting for the other team. Now it's guaranteed to be a no-hitter. Good job guys. I mean, no doubt about it he's going to get it.

Freakin' Reyes.

You heard right Cooby. Hudson's got a NO HITTER going.

Fantastic. Love the blurb about Prior.

9 up, 9 down. Hey, where's that Atlanta starting rotation that supposed to blow ass?

I wonder if we'll ever score again.

Feliciano 2 Woodward 1

With Matsui ready anyway, I don't see why they don't just DL Hernandez and call up Diaz.

Thanks 62. Couldn't help but notice from your link that we have an Edgar Alfonzo pitching! Is that who I think it is?

If Zambrano is as shy as they say, that's a pretty bad job by Duquette and company. Knowing what they know about fans, and the media, if they traded Kazmir, the guy coming back was going to have an incredible amount of pressure on him...fair or unfair. It seems like Duke managed to find the guy least equipped to shoulder that burden.

Actually, I thought number 4 was a pretty lame reason too. That's why I say I'm being unfair to him. But I was asking myself last night why I feel so much ire to him, and being honest, this is what I came up with.

Where's Alay Soler?

But I can't help it. I scream at the TV more when Zambrano pitches than all the others combined. I yell at him for falling behind batters, I yell at him for throwing meatballs, I yell at him for letting Andruw Jones beat him, I yell at him for giving up runs to Adam freakin' LaRoche. I just don't like him. Last night, I tried to figure out why. 1. The Kazmir trade. Not just the part where we gave up Kazmir, I can live with that to an extent. What kills me is that if we were willing to give up Kazmir, we probably could have gotten a front-line guy for him. We may have been able to convince Beane to give up Hudson or Mulder. I still remember seeing "Mets trade P Kazmir to Devil Rays for P V.Zambrano" on the scroll of ESPN News and shreiking in horror. I prayed it was a typo and at the very least we had gotten Carlos Zambrano. Every time I see Zambrano, I curse him for not being Kazmir, Hudson, Mulder or Carlos Zambrano. 2. The Seo/Benson Trades. I can't believe that out of the guys we had last year, Zambrano was one of the guys we chose to keep. Seo was sent to Norfolk, and eventually traded. Benson was shipped out for junk. Meanwhile, Zambrano gets chance after chance after chance. It's like the organization needs him to improve to save face from the Kazmir trade. Every time I see Zambrano, I curse him because the Mets traded Seo and Benson. 3. Heilman in the Pen. I think Aaron Heilman could be a pretty good starter. At least better than Zambrano. But because Aaron is so effective in the pen, this guy gets the ball every five days. Every time I see Zambrano I curse him for not being as good as I think Heilman would be. 4. He just looks like a loser. He looks defeated...he looks lost. I swear he has the same clueless expression that George W. Bush wears so often. I feel like he doesn't get it. Like he's just not bright enough to figure it out. I don't know. I just don't like Victor Zambrano.

If it were up to me, I'd get rid of triple crappiness too.

Couple of thoughts.... I don't see the point of demoting Diaz for Feliciano if all you're doing to use him for is 3 innings in a blowout. I hate Andruw Jones. I'd like to see him get a fastball right on that smug grin of his. Can you imagine Endy Chavez, Anderson Hernandez and Jose Reyes going to a bar and trying to convince people that they are professional athletes?
