Yeah...that sucks. Carter may be a pretty flaky dude off the field, but I hope nothing but the best for him on this one.

I'm hoping he's watching the game on his 72" wide-screen HDTV in the comfort of his bedroom propped up by two dozen pillows filled with freshly shorn lamb's fleece while cherubs exchange hot and cold gel packs on his back every half inning.

Looks like we're going to be a couple of players short judging by that picture. Or, I'm guessing that the Mets feel like the players can make it to YSIII on their own.

Like I need more Cubs games. Or Red Sox games, for that matter. I always thought that the Subway Series was only good for one thing...me being able to lay back on the couch and watch the Mets game on TV.

Garcia and Burnett, both former Mets minor leaguers who never threw a pitch for the big club.

Through game 43, Frankie has 14 saves (one off the lead league) and is on pace to finish with 53, which would be a Mets single-season record (by 10).

Sounds like Nat's GM Mike Rizzo had some words for the umpiring crew after the game. He's now being investigated by MLB for his conduct. http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=6567938

Great job, Michigan. CNNSI says: Yanks in 2013 may look ugly

One game under .500 going into the Bronx isn't too shabby. A nice series there and we can come out .500...or better.

Books! Nice game, Dillon.

I'll take it.

Tip of the cap to Dillion Gee.

Bay's havin' a day...that's a good thing.

Fuck you, Livan.

Isn't that the point of a message board? Nobody's taking away your right to vote however you see fit but I really don't see the harm in civil discussion about it. You're right. I was a little testy this morning. Last night's cock-punch of a game had a lot to do with it. I know marathon meant no harm in asking about the logic. I just got up on the wrong side of the bed.

metsmarathon wrote: i think we get stingy in losses is all. I'm of the opinion that we should be stingy in losses. Rewarding players the same regardless of the desired team outcome seems insane to me. I give 10 points total for wins and 5 points total for losses (and prior to this season, I didn't vote in losses at all). Some people have formulas that they plug into various spreadsheets, databases or other abaci. I don't have the patience for all that. I only use round numbers and I score based on my gut. One of the things I love about Schaefer is that we all have unique and individual scoring methods. One of the things I hate about Schaefer is when scores are critiqued. If any scoring method is inferior, then we should all just decide on a dedicated formula and the math can just tell me who the PotG is. Izzy got 2 big outs. O'Conner got 3. Pelfrey got 21, has been pitching his ass off lately and outlasted one of the best pitchers in the league last night. If O'Conner misses the Reliever of the Month award by the pro-rated .34 points I "should" have given him (for a clean inning, which is exactly what should be expected of him in that situation), then I'll personally send him a six-pack.

I hate this thread. Almost as much as I hate doling out Schaefer points in a loss. metsmarathon wrote: the outcome of the game neither defines nor negates the efforts of the players. I disagree with this statement. Pelf did all the heavy lifting and got shafted by his offense.
