Called strike three, bases left loaded...damn.

Bases Loades for Cameron, Cohen tells us that the Mets are 2 for 44 with the bases loaded with 2 outs..

You know I was not impressed when Offerman was called up but he done nothing but hit, kudos to Jose, now lets hit the ex-Met.

Delgado wold have been great,IIRC the Mets made an offer and he chose the Marlins instead, Omar did make a competitive offer right?, but I know what you are saying, we are missing a bat, Floyd would be a great 5 hitter in a perfect line-up.

Seawolf in all fairness Neer is the pitts, he all but said last night that the Soriano deal was done then caught himself and said this.."but hey maybe the Texas brass are listening to this show going no way are we trading Sori for Zambrano"...yeah Dick, like the Rangers are tuning in .

Yes, the Wendell/Cook for Chen trade, and the previous week Pratt was traded....a bad week indeed.

Not sure if I've recovered from last years trade deadline yet.MADD START

] a certain hall of famer that I won't mentionyeah Tom we know it's you.]old school] crusty old leftie

Good report...] love the idea of adding Milledge to this system. He'd be one of our top two or three position player prospects instantly. yeah and that's why the Mets better keep him]We've got the best hitter on the trade market, and the Mets don't always do the smartest thing. Ouch..

Can he stay healthy?, I think that might be a problem ,plus he makes a lot of money, I think.

Cliff is just the best this season, he's healthy and certainly enjoying things this season, he even looked graceful on his triple yesterday, they could use Valent at Coors, might be too big for Diaz to be of any use.

Yeah Mattie got a bit excited with the dogs, but his overall work is impressive I think,this is where the Mets bust out big time..

It's bring your dog to the ballpark night, Matt Loughlin was interviewing some dog owners just now, as field reporters go Mattie is the best.Mets need some base runners damn it.

]Watching Frannie's Legends, are we?]Yup ,Ralph Kiner is on ScarletKnight41 Jul 25 2005 10:46 PM And we are underway. Johnny Dickshot Jul 25 2005 10:50 PM Eric Byrnes eats worms. ScarletKnight41 Jul 25 2005 10:52 PM I was amused at Byrnes catching Cameron's fly, and then holding up one finger to indicate one out.Only it was the second out.He's a hustle player, but not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. ScarletKnight41 Jul 25 2005 10:54 PM Am I hearing a Let's Go Mets chant in Colorado?Meanwhile, Atkins gets an RBI double and Colorado takes an early 1-0 lead. ScarletKnight41 Jul 25 2005 11:14 PM After 2 complete innings it's 1-0 Colorado. cooby Jul 25 2005 11:15 PM Do the Rockies use purple at all any more? soupcan Jul 25 2005 11:16 PM Only in their mountains... soupcan Jul 25 2005 11:19 PM Dogs at the park?Where do they go doodie? metirish Jul 25 2005 11:21 PM It's bring your dog to the ballpark night, Matt Loughlin was interviewing some dog owners just now, as field reporters go Mattie is the best.Mets need some base runners damn it. Johnny Dickshot Jul 25 2005 11:21 PM Sure I don't mind if an emergency starter throws a perfect game against us at Coors Field. Happens all the time. Edgy DC Jul 25 2005 11:26 PM I'm not sure I appreciate Mattie going goo-goo with the dogs two batters into the inning, and you could hear him trying to continue when Fran finally took over. Johnny Dickshot Jul 25 2005 11:30 PM OK, top of the order coming up, down by 2 and I have to crash soon. Time to start raking. ScarletKnight41 Jul 25 2005 11:30 PM The Rockies add another in the third. 2-0 Colorado after three. metirish Jul 25 2005 11:33 PM Yeah Mattie got a bit excited with the dogs, but his overall work is impressive I think,this is where the Mets bust out big time.. Edgy DC Jul 25 2005 11:35 PM Reyes leads off with a stand-up triple.Yes, I was hoping he'd go for four. Edgy DC Jul 25 2005 11:35 PM Double Cammie. Edgy DC Jul 25 2005 11:41 PM Crap check-swing call on Cliff.Chance for a big inning here.Floyd trips!Exschmellent! Edgy DC Jul 25 2005 11:43 PM Wright plates him with a sacrifice fly.Outschtanding. Rockin' Doc Jul 25 2005 11:44 PM Floyd scores the third run of the inning on Wright sacrifice fly to right.The Mets sieze the lead 3-2. Edgy DC Jul 25 2005 11:45 PM Ground rule double by Piazza. I wanted to see him join the triple club. Rockin' Doc Jul 25 2005 11:46 PM Hey Acevedo, perfect game this. The hit parade continues with a double by Piazza. Edgy DC Jul 25 2005 11:56 PM Rocks tie it up in their half. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 12:06 AM 'Rado recaptures the lead.Jose Reyes was just tip-toeing toward the mound as if he was going to do the Timo Perez running bunt. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 12:09 AM Cameron nearly inside-outs a homer, but foul. Johnny Dickshot Jul 26 2005 12:11 AM How about Glavine not put on the leadoff guy this time. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 12:13 AM Glavine says, "Not this time." Johnny Dickshot Jul 26 2005 12:15 AM Good inning, time to hit again. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 12:17 AM I wonder how many Met fans watching this game are looking at Todd Helton and hoping the Mets drive him off the lot when they leave town. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 12:19 AM How about Beltran get into this game? Johnny Dickshot Jul 26 2005 12:22 AM Yeah, Beltran looks pretty stinky. Elster88 Jul 26 2005 12:23 AM Prior to Cammie nearly inside-outing a homer, Reyes beat out a routine grounder to shortstop. The guy can fucking fly, but I'm still waiting for his hamstring to come flying off and be trailing behind him one day.Something else that was unusual but amusing when I was away from the comp:The batter camera caught a great shot of a moth flying in front of the catcher and ump, crossing home plate from right to left looking from the mound, and straight into Minky's eye. Slo-mo and everything. That might be on SportsCenter tomorrow. Johnny Dickshot Jul 26 2005 12:26 AM Not looking good. I hope to wake up in a better mood. cooby Jul 26 2005 12:30 AM Wow, I was on the phone for well over an hour and missed a bunch of stuff, including the Bark in The Park interview. Didn't someone else do that this year?And now, since I am the only one here, I am going to bed. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 12:40 AM I guess the lesson for us is that Mike DeJean is always a good pitcher for his second team each season. Elster88 Jul 26 2005 12:41 AM Santiago getting the call in the seventh. Still 5-3 Mountains. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 12:43 AM Santiago joins Cairo on the Mets all-capital team. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 12:48 AM Helton pulls up going from first to third, and he won't be a Met this year.Ex-Met Desi Relaford and his tiny head come out to pinch-run. Elster88 Jul 26 2005 12:49 AM I'm pooped. Curse you rain delay. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 01:11 AM The Rockies look to Brian Fuentes to close it out. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 01:11 AM Beltran goes down hacking at bad pitches. One out. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 01:13 AM Floyd pops out and nobody seems to have a clue what Fuentes is throwing.Two out. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 01:15 AM Not Wright. He drives an 0-2 fastball to left and brings Piazza up as the tying run. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 01:17 AM Wow. Piazza gets a 2-0 inside fastball to drive, but shatters the handle of his bat instead as he flies to left to end the game. Johnny Dickshot Jul 26 2005 07:13 AM bleh. cooby Jul 26 2005 09:10 AM Bleh is right. And throw a couple of yawns in there too. Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 09:32 AM I stayed up for it.Not a good team, those Rockies. I don't know if the Mets had the travel yawns or what, but I don't expect them to lose a series to this team. ScarletKnight41 Jul 26 2005 09:39 AM I think Glavine was peeved that the weather gods made him wait around so long to start the game, and his typically smirky self let that get into his head and, as a result, into his arm.Do you guys remember once, during a rain delay, how we were commenting about Game Day indicating the starting pitcher standing on the mound, waiting to start the game, and we figured that he'd be there Charlie Brown style, up to his ankles in water, waiting to throw that first pitch? Anyway, while watching this suckitude in the sleep deprived state, I was commenting to D-Dad that Glavine was out there in the bullpen, all peeved because of the rain, and I contrasted that to Pedro, who would have been out there doing a splashy dance in the puddles.At midnight, the concept of Pedro and the splashy dance seemed very amusing to us. Elster88 Jul 26 2005 10:02 AM ]contrasted that to Pedro, who would have been out there doing a splashy dance in the puddles. I need that laughing emoticon. This concept is amusing at 10:00 AM too. cooby Jul 26 2005 11:19 AM I like the ad where he is running through the sprinklers ScarletKnight41 Jul 26 2005 11:27 AM If you scroll down [url=http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/official_info/community/bgca.jsp]here[/url], there's a link to that ad. cooby Jul 26 2005 11:32 AM "Hey, wait for us..."I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason he reminds me of my cousin Leslie, who is a blue-eyed blonde. And a woman. Yancy Street Gang Jul 26 2005 11:36 AM Is Leslie cuter than a bunny rabbit? cooby Jul 26 2005 11:39 AM Well, she used to be, but when we were little, she pulled my hair, so I grew up kinda afraid of her.

No doubt they have, I just posted this because of the last time the Mets played here Fran really raved about the area, like really really raved, for whatever reason that stuck with me, I've never been to Coors so I'll take his word, just the way Fran gets on certain points all series is to me a Fran-ism in a way.

IIRC the last time the Mets played at Coors Field Fran Healy raved about what the new stadium did for the area, he'll do the same this series because he's predictable, of course no numbers will be offered to back this up.

Hard to believe that Coors Field opened up in 1995, new but not all that new,they made their only post-season appearance that year.

Phil Nevin rejects trade to Baltimore.

Ahh yes, my bad, it's hard to keep up with Charlie Samuel's and the different uniforms the Mets have.

Eddie Coleman says we might have a rain delay, a storm just blew in...any chance the Mets wear the Mets Blue again tonight?

WWSB is on the FAN and it sounds like Santiago has a chance to stay here for a while, if he pitches well of course, basically they feel Bell needs to work on a 3rd pitch in Norfolk.

]Myself, for instance. I think Bartman got jobbed.I probably should not have brought Bartman into this thread because what he did didn't meet the criteria you laid out , however your above post is so true, ESPN even did a show live from Harry Caray's Restaurant on the implosion of the "Bartman Ball".

Yeah, my Bartman reference was to illustrate what can happen to a fan that gets blamed for a crucial call, as you pointed out the media(FOX) was to blame as much as anyone for that.Maybe a sliding scale of punishment might work, the more important the game is deemed the more severe the punishment, so a crucial game down the stretch against the Braves might warrent a spanking from Jeff Wilpon, a lousy fan interference during a play-off game would surely warrent season tickets to be revoked.

Yeah it nearly happened several times during Met games it seems lately, this fan interference especially hurts if it's the likes of Reyes that had the hit, you think triple when he hits one that rattles around the corner, I don't believe in punishment, the fans around him probably chastise him if they are not too hammered to know what's going on, the slow walk of shame brings to mind Steve Bartman and who needs that?Fans should not lean over the railing and interfere with the play, but it happens all the time.
