Reyes KABOOMs again! He gets the 2 runs back by himself. 3-2 Good Guys.

KABOOM for Reyes. Let's score some more runs.

Let's score some runs.

Willie still around per press conference on ESPN News with Omar and Willie not saying much of anything.
-
In my current Mets funk, I would take any of those just to shake things up.
-
I see no reason for Willie to come back with the team. I've seen too many games just like this one over the past 12 months.
-
I hat baseball. This team is pathetic.
-
Walks, errors and base running costing another lead. Noose tightening...

With all respect to Ryan Church, Wags has been my Mets MVP so far this year. Big balls, Billy, big balls.
-
I'm in the doubting room...but I still have the game on.

FUKudoME, this team sucks!

Evidently, he's OK. http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/blog/2008/05/church_feeling_ok.html

Not Mets related, but the umps blew this one on 4/13/08 in a Phils/Cubs game. I saw this play live on TV and couldn't believe the umps blew it. It ended up effecting the outcome of the game. ESPN wrote: Manuel earned his first ejection of the season for arguing DeRosa's homer off Jamie Moyer in the sixth that gave Chicago a 4-2 lead. DeRosa hit a high drive down the left-field line leading off the inning. Third-base umpire Adrian Johnson called it fair, though replays showed the ball was just foul. Left fielder Pat Burrell immediately trotted in to state his case and Manuel ran out to express his opinion. After the umpires refused to overturn the call following a brief meeting, Manuel continued arguing and was tossed. "I thought it was foul," Manuel said. "I saw the replay." Cubs manager Lou Piniella had a different view. "It looked fair to me," he said. Told by reporters the ball was foul, Piniella replied: "Really? You mean the umpires were wrong?" http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=280413122

If I'm measuring 2007 up to May 20th vs. 2008 up to May 20th, I think I just barely take the 2007 squad. If I'm measuring all of 2007 vs. the potential of 2008, I think I just barely take the 2008 squad.
-
I'd agree that was one of the worst losses of 2006 up to that point. Little did we all know that the Pedro meltdown that landed him on the DL would take place the next day.

Lastings Milledge for Ryan Church and Brian Schneider
TransMonk replied to a topic in New York Mets Talk
Milledge sucks. I would have traded him for a bag of balls. At the time, I thought we could have duped some team into getting more for him than Church and Schneid, but I love, love, love the trade right now. -
God I hope not. Anything more they do to make this meaningless series appear any more exciting is irritating.
-
That was a quick call. Pussies.
-
I didn't want to interrupt Steve's conversation...but I would have left Vargas in. Heilman is just brutal so far.
-
From Bobby V's wikipedia page: As a player, he was a home run hitter (he hit 894 home runs in his MLB career), but he had 4107 hits as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1972. I wonder where Wikipedia ranks in the top research resources for America's youth. I would guess pretty high. Sheesh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Valentine

Frayed Knot wrote: Figueroa & Sosa designated for assignment, Pagan to the DL Claudio Vargas called up to start Wednesday's game. Also Matt Wise and Fernando Tatis called up. Can't say I'm unhappy with those decisions given the circumstances.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Are we looking ahead to a time when only the Cubs, Dodgers, and Red Sox have parks that were built before 1990? (Am I missing anyone? Maybe Toronto... do they have a new ballpark on the horizon?) Skydome opened in 1990 if I recall correctly...I was on a high school trip to Toronto the year it opened. It's still pretty "new" in terms of having the roof and all. Although, I think all of those retractable roof stadiums designed in the '90s already look about as dated as grunge rock sounds.
