How about the doll sitting on yer mans lap front and center?, it's like the Mets were super cool and happening in 1980.

Love the year book programs , great weather delay stuff, I notice that whenever they go to someone in the crowd they are always very optimistic about the Mets chances , bunches of optimistic Mets fans everywhere.

Waivers , per twitter.

Certainly not CY Young years, but all pretty good in my book. 45-34 with a 3.51 ERA over that span. 742 Ks in 689.2 IP. 2009-2011 = 19-24 with a 5.54 ERA with 210 Ks in 299 IP. yeah I don't disagree just it was always a tough billing for him , a good pitcher but not a great pitcher. I too would like to see him as a Mets pitcher and get some semblance of good form back.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Quick, nobody read Tim Smith's idiotic column in the Snooze today. Jesus wept , For 15 days (or more depending upon the healing of the ailing calf) the Yankees will get an idea of what it's like not to have Jeter at short. It's the Ghost of Yankees future. Perish the thought, some would say. you sir are an idiot. Moving Jeter out at shortstop will be harder than trying to confiscate Superman's cape. Convincing him that the best course of action was going on the 15-day DL to let his calf muscle heal rather than trying to rest it for a week and come back and play was a piece of cake by comparison. but I thought Jeter was all about the team?

Burkhardt goes undercover as a useful part of a regional sports network's broadcast team until everybody finds out that it's all just a charade and his saturation presence couldn't be any more useless. Well, it could be, but that's for the sequel, Just One of the GUYS! I was talking to Dan Warthen before the game and he told me something really interesting about the way Tim Byrdak has changed his bullpen routine, as Brian McCann doubles into the gap off R.A. Dickey...Tim now stretches, then throws and then stretches again...McCann is caught off second...Dan says Tim really gets a little extra boost that helps him against righthanded batting...McCann rounds third and is racing for the plate...and we're seeing the results of that change of routine in outings like Tim had Tuesday when he got the Mets out of that jam in the seventh with two on and one out...McCann is out at the plate...GUYS? funny , the action does seem to pick up when kevin has the mic that's for sure....

Gary "Terry Collins has not managed many Mets games here at Turner Field but even when things are going good danger lurks"

At this stage if he doesn't get three every night it's a bad night. Don't trade Reyes

Rubin Bay: �I�m a realist. I�m not playing that well. That�s just the reality of it. Had I been out there hitting .500, I think I�d have a little more reason to have a little more say. "

Terry Collins on Jason Bay sitting: �I�m sure he�s annoyed. He�s a pro.� Rubin /Twitter

Thanks FK , Braves ain't what they used to be but still nearly ten over and 2.5 back.

Is that really the idea?, fucking hell if it is, and fucking hell if he agrees with that sort of thinking.

As the season has gone on, and more and more of the writers of these stories glance down at the field and realize "Shit, this guy's pretty damn good isn't he?" they start understanding why he's going to be a lifelong Met. I just read over it , it's a great thread btw.....

Classic Hagin today top of the 8th, Beltran at the plate , Jose at third and Turner at second, Wayne sounds totally surprised that Turner is scoring from second on the Beltran single, he even admits to it....I had no idea for several seconds what was going on after the routine "Reyes in from 3rd base" call, he was not at all prepared for Turner..kinda funny actually. No Howie today , Ed and Wayne......I need a blow after it. What was really annoying was Coleman would repeat nearly verbatim everything Wayne said after a play that warranted him chiming in.

Bay caught looking, damn that sucked

Bay with a bloop single and the hitless streak is over.

Murphy eating alive on a sharp liner from MaCutchen and two runs score.
