There's 25 players in the locker room and the idea that they should all behave like Cora would is, to me, self-centered and narcissistic. I also question Cora's motive for his reaction and wonder if perhaps, it was all contrived and calculated just to get favorable ink for his, ya know, Want To Win More Than The Other Mets personality that is supposed to be the essence of Alex Cora. Because he's not gonna remind us of Chase Utley.
  2. I've got a problem with the idea that a player ought to behave like he's at a funeral after a loss. I don't believe that Pelfrey cares less about winning just because he was joking with a reporter after the loss. Here's my idea: Why doesn't Alex Cora shut the fuck up until he can get his batting average over .280 for one whole week?
  3. I'm happy to hear that DiPoto and Isringhausen survived Dallas Green's doghouse.

Later I believe Martino was going for irony there. I also believe Martino may find out about insertion-related injuries at some point this year if he doesn't tone down the snark. (The DN's sports editorial leadership is decimated? Can't tell a bit.) When are the Mets gonna go and fuck themselves already with this Alex Cora? So much ado about a player who hasn't been league average I don't think ever. Or hardly ever. This is the type of player I can't fucking stand. The guy that's praised ten times a day for leadership and Locker Room Presence because if the press ever stopped to see what the hell he was doing on the field, they'd see that Cora makes Miguel Cairo look good. I'm going with irony too.
  5. Watch and see this bastard Bay hit a home run now.
  6. It's gonna take a lotta sac bunts for the Mets to get back in this one.
  7. Plenty of baseball left. The Mets know how to score runs in Phoenix.
  8. Ollie Perez can rightfully say that he's never had a stretch of 14 or 15 consecutive innings as bad as Pelfrey's last 14 or 15.
  9. What's the deal with Gary Cohen carrying on for like the third game in a row about how Frenchy might not adjust to his substitute out fielding role? Is Gary suggesting that if true, this factor should weigh in favor of Pagan instead of Frenchy being the 4th outfielder?
  10. Jerry got it on good authority from Wee Willie that the runner carries over to the next inning. Pagan's sac bunt would've given the Mets a runner on third for Wright to lead off with.
  11. I know that deep down, Jerry wants Pagan to sac bunt Luis to 3rd base.
  12. See? Swinging for a hit is so much more preferable.
  13. Welcome back, Loooey! How bout a sac bunt to lead off the inning? For old time's sake.
  14. Cleon! (rf and lf)

  16. Vince Coleman (lf and c f)

  18. Gregg Jefferies (2b and 3b)
  19. Mazzilli. 1b and cf
  20. Eddie Crane Pool!
  21. Alfonzo. (One guess per post?)
  22. Ramon Castro rakes in his ideal gig as a lightly used catcher.
  23. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omB-HVs6sRw I'm including this Miller Lite ad in the Throneberry file even though Marv doesn't have a speaking part to speak of. He's in the background, on the yellow uniformed "Less Filling" team, and can be seen shouting "Less Filling" with the rest of his teammates.
