I think we are getting exactly what would have been expected from the catching position, send Thole back if all he is getting is a few AB's a week.

I was flipping channels yesterday and this awesomely bad 80's movie was on CBS. Jimmy is the rich kid from Jersey that wants to play for the NY Rockers soccer team. Mommy and Daddy oppose it of course , he doesn't make the team , terrible attitude and all that.The training sessions at Giants Stadium on the astro-turf are priceless.....the classic 80's synth music as the soundtrack....the coach is terribly mis-cast , he comes off like an American football coach trying to drill soccer players. Doing what only a rich kid could do Jimmy flies to Brazil to learn from the master Santos, Pele plays that part of course.... the teaching here is more values than skill. I actually watched the whole movie , one of those that is so bad it's hard to turn away from. Oh , and it features a dread locked Mario Van Peeples playing the smart ass black guy he played in every 80's movie he was in.

Should I rent it bucket?, didn't a movie just like this open recently starring Kevin James?

Blanco "He was safe all the way," Blanco said, shrugging and grinning. "Good for us. Players and coaches from both benches had been complaining about Cuzzi's work throughout the game, and, by the ninth, the umpire appeared exasperated. He claimed he was yelling at the Mets' bench, not Rodriguez. Blanco disagreed, and called for the league to discipline Cuzzi. Blanco continued with his scathing review of the umpire, who gained notoriety last year for calling a would-be double by Joe Mauer as a foul ball in the playoffs at Yankee Stadium. "I hope somebody sees that and punishes him," the catcher said. "That's one thing that should not happen in a baseball game. It doesn't matter how mad you are, it should not happen, especially from them. I hope somebody was watching that." "Bad calls all day," Blanco said. "He missed a lot of pitches. I thought he said stuff to Frankie. Then he told Jerry that he wasn't talking to him, he wasn't talking to our dugout. A lot of weird things happened that inning."

I have little confidence in Manuel anyway but in a game like this that went pear shaped in a hurry there wasn't much for him to do, maybe not having time to think is the trick...can Cuzzi get kicked back to the minors?, he seems like an ump that is often wrong, Blanco nailed him to the cross after the game.

A win that leaves me feeling bleh.

Not going to run him out again?

Gary just called it bizarre, apologies

Hold on Ashie, it might be turning bizzare now with the play at the plate.

I hate it that Keith follows the bullshit line that Rodriguez thrives on the highwire act, how about he's just not that fucking good.

And Bay follows Wright with his warning track power.

Aubrey fucking Huff loves him some Mets pitching. 1-0 Giants

Is it OK to panic?

He won't miss a start cos he's "such a gamer " I bet.....that fucking Girardi is the biggest douchebag of them all.

Well , that's that...8-2

I'm watching 2012 on Starz, as disaster viewing it's probably no worse than watching the Mets. The movie is utter bollox btw.

Three hits......bleh

I lived in San Fran for a year , great city , beautiful place . Ill advised throw home from Cora as Keith says...with one out why do it...and playing back too , and throws to the wrong side of the plate.

So, they promised Francoeur that he would start against Zito tonight and that's why Pagan is not in and leading off.

That was hilarious Greg , what a guy you are, you watch and report so we don't have to.

Beltran looks quite a bit smaller?

This trivia has been great , we got them all?
