Not the best look when your belly hangs over them...... Anyway, I guess the "set" team will play tonight, our bench is rubbish for the most part isn't it? Cora and Blanco are useful in what they do but who gives David a blow, Frenchie? No one to pinch hit....forget that.....saw a picture of Beltran wearing a big ugly knee brace.....won't be seeing him anytime soon.

Great KTE......

K-Rod is still warming up though.....geez , I went to bed wehn Acosta was trotted out.

Nieve throwing some serious heat up there.....man he looks like the shit.

New Rochelle seems like a nice town, we go to Costco there, what a mess that place is...ugh....also we like to go to New Roc City which seems like a great place to hang if your a teen looking for skirt.

What a dump of a park.........five runs is nothing here boys

Cool stat from espn....the fathers of GMJ and Ike Davis both played with Moyer.

Niese 4 Pagan 1.5 Barajas 1.5 Francouer 1.5 Wright 1.5

Bay 0.5 Blanco 0.5 Wright 0.5 Acosta 0.5

Newsday Mets explore options for when Murphy returns Daniel Murphy is expected to be used in a utility role at Triple-A Buffalo when he returns from the disabled list. PHILADELPHIA - The dawn of the Ike Davis Era has forced the Mets into yet another experimental phase with Daniel Murphy, who is expected to be used in a utility role at Triple-A Buffalo when he returns from the disabled list. A person familiar with the club's thinking insisted that it was a tentative plan because there is no predicting what may happen between now and when Murphy is healthy enough to be activated. Murphy was supposed to be the Mets' Opening Day first baseman, but lost the job when he suffered a Grade 1 sprain of his right knee during the final week of spring training. Murphy, 25, has been on the DL since March 31 for an injury that the Mets estimated would cost him two to six weeks. He played five innings at first base Friday in an extended spring training game in Port St. Lucie, Fla., but took Saturday off. The Mets do not anticipate trying him at second base or leftfield until he is completely healthy and they were unsure how much longer Murphy would need in Florida before heading to Buffalo. But with Davis anchored at first base for the immediate future, Murphy needs to give the Mets more defensive options if he is to be used in the majors as a utility player. Also, the team has no idea if Murphy can handle a variety of positions. Last season, Murphy made the Opening Day roster as the team's starting leftfielder, but started only 27 games there before his defensive lapses - and Carlos Delgado's hip surgery - prompted the Mets to switch him to first base. Murphy made his first career start at the new position May 20 in Los Angeles and continued to be a work-in-progress during the remainder of the season. Heading into this year, the Mets planned to have Murphy as their starting first baseman, even after signing Mike Jacobs, and his occasional tutorials with 11-time Gold Glove winner Keith Hernandez had them optimistic that he could handle the job. As long as Davis remains healthy, however, the prospects for Murphy at first base are slim. He could be useful off the bench. In 48 career games as a pinch hitter, Murphy is batting .317 (13-for-41) with a double, triple, two homers and 12 RBIs.

As so often happens in these cases the highly touted and anticipated pitchers never did happen.

Is that Jesse James?

Are immigrants like me still welcome here?

'Tis a big series...win one boys and I'll be lighting the cigar..... On Francesa the other day a mets fan called up saying how he didn't like the lineup Jerry is trotting out there now....Reyes has go to be hitting first and Castillo hitting ninth .....both the caller and Francesa just started talking very loudly over each other...the caller was a complete moron.

Good starting pitching all over the org....kudos Dickey

We have commented on it. You have, too. http://www.cranepoolforum.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13731 You are sacked as my straight man.

Shocked no one has commented on this. I guess people here just don't care about the ASG.

P is for Pelfrey with tongue sticking out licked his wife's clit and didn't strike out

Brilliant KTE...love the movie villain twist.

Verdouchei is a joke, doesn't he work for YES now doing post-game ball rubbing?

Trade him?......he's got no value has he? Sit him on the bench and see what happens.

Bret was a real Debbie fucking Downer in that old thread, talk about killing the fun...geez
