Why not leave him out there......terrible decision if they have plans for the starting rotation. Maybe you are right Ashie.

Odds that Castillo will bunt on a 3-1 count in tonights game 2/1 book closing soon

I wondered the same thing, I have concluded that he is probably running wild with his eyes closed and not caring who he steps on.

The douchebag from last night

I give Mike some credit for constantly battling back from serious injuries, got to be more than money driving him on.

Not that I care all that much but I was rooting for Texas to make the playoffs this year.

What's interesting is that he has been the most popular lookup before too. April 20th , 2008 and this past Sunday the 13th Looking at the memories of Jason Roach section might lead to a clue , Joe Figliola October 10, 2003 He may be a "cockroach" when he pitches, but Jason's a big larvae on campus when it comes to hitting. If he doesn't play another game for the Mets this season, then Jason would become the only Met player ever to hit 1.000 on a two-for-two.Think of it: Gary Bennett; Dave Liddell; Rodney McCray; and Ray Searage (I'm probably forgetting one or twomore) would all play second fiddle to a guy who had more hits in his only two at-bats of the year than Al Leiter had in 53 ABs and thirtysomething games. Such is the story of the 2003 Mets. could he have been a trivia question? I hope this wasn't a trivia question , was it?

I find I have little or no appetite for baseball right now . I'll watch the playoffs I suppose .I'll root against the yankees , yes it's small of me and I don't care. Seeing them lose is not a consolation but it's something.

Di Caprio was good but the movie itself wasn't that good , that's my memory of it anyway.

Keith shows off his two mini WS trophies in the video I linked earlier.

But one celebrity resident was just returning home from work, a commuter completing another long ride from the big city and trying to stay sane by checking off a dozen milestones on his 86-mile slog. "It does bother me,'' Keith Hernandez said, somewhere in the dark monotony of the LIE's outer reaches, during the 90 minutes (if he's lucky) journey from Citi Field. "It gets tiresome.'' Eventually, though, it was over, and he reminded himself why he endures it. At 1 a.m., as he walked Duncan, his beloved, 90-pound flat-coated retriever, around his neighborhood just outside Sag Harbor, Hernandez looked around and said, "This is a little slice of heaven.'' It is a slice he has carved for himself at 55, the formerly hard-playing, hard-partying leader of the 1986 Mets now happily married to his second wife, Kai, and happily living a small-town life. When he pulled onto Main Street Wednesday to visit his favorite coffee shop, Java Nation, it was as if he had planted eclectic local characters as props to impress a visiting reporter. It was real, though. Hernandez - 1979 National League co-MVP, star of an iconic "Seinfeld'' episode, popular SNY analyst - is used to passers-by saying hello to him. But within two minutes of arriving in Sag Harbor, he had said hello by name to a half-dozen people. "We can be normal here,'' Kai said. That's relative, of course. Hernandez prides himself on living in a home of modest proportions - "These people who buy mansions, I don't understand that; they are nuts'' - and on going to the hardware store and doing his own repairs. But he's still Keith Hernandez. Much as he enjoys the blue-collar vibe of the year-round residents, he is not quite one of them, staying only from April through September. He spends the rest of the year in Florida. Hernandez, long divorced from his first wife and with three adult daughters (and two grandchildren, the second born last weekend), was a committed Manhattanite from 1984 until several years ago. The nudge East came from Duncan, named for the King of Scotland in "Macbeth.'' The big dog needed space, and his family didn't mind going far to find it with Hernandez then working a limited schedule for MSG. Kai had owned a cottage on the East End and liked the area. "There was no SNY then,'' Keith said. "I had no idea I would have a full-time job.'' Now he works 105 games a season, about half at home. (He stays in the city when a day game follows a night game.) Hernandez passes the miles listening to political talk radio, and sometimes sports, especially Steve Somers' opening monologue on WFAN. Usually, he turns it off once the callers chime in. "Unless it's a night when Mets fans are just ready to jump off a bridge,'' he said. "I have to laugh, because they're just so into it.'' (Hernandez admits preferring that the Mets win, too. But he tries to stay "detached'' from the day-to-day emotions of a fan.) Mostly, he keeps to 80 mph or less in a Mercedes built to go far faster and studies the psychology of LIE exit numbers. "Seventy, 60, 50, those are my marks,'' he said, referring to the round numbers as the exits fly by. "The distances between 70 through 50 are much longer, so as you go from 50 to 40 to 30 they get tighter and it seems faster. Going back out east it's like forever on 50, then forever on 60.'' Relief from the tedium comes at the home he shares with Kai, Duncan, three cats and robust collections of books, bobbleheads, vintage movie posters, 19th century firearms and art, as well as baseball treasures such as his MVP award. The highlights include two mosaics made by his late father, John, from pebbles Keith and his brother collected on Pebble Beach when they were kids growing up in the San Francisco Bay area and there still were pebbles there. His hundreds of leather-bound, gold-accented classic books come with a personal twist. Some include inserts summarizing their contents. It turns out Kai wrote many of them for a part-time job during graduate school in the mid-1980s - long before she and Keith met. "It's all come full circle,'' said Kai, a freelance pastry chef who sells to local stores and who whips up homemade cake and ice cream just for fun. (Keith would like to lose 20 pounds. Good luck.) Hernandez, still adjusting to Eastern Time after a recent road swing, didn't bound out of bed and into the kitchen until 9 Wednesday morning. But typically he rises around 8, catching up on news and sports and heading to town for coffee at 10, followed by fetch with Duncan at the beach and/or in the backyard pool. His biggest meal is lunch, usually back in downtown Sag Harbor, followed by a 30-to-60-minute nap, then into the car around 3:30 for the schlep back to Queens. Thrills? It was enough Wednesday to encounter several wild turkeys by the side of the road. He was so excited he stopped his car and got out to make sure Kai, who was driving a car following him, had seen them, too. "People think I'm more of a loose cannon than I really am,'' Hernandez said. "I'm not that far off the charts. My life is pretty mundane. When people meet me and they're all excited, I tell them, 'Trust me, I'm overrated. Just ask my wife.' '' Hernandez removed the copy of Moby-Dick from his collection and announced one of his offseason plans: Joining Kai in reading the book. Aloud. Such is life for Mex these days, where the only fast lane that matters is the one on the LIE.

I didn't see one pitch of the four games this weekend , can't remember the last time that happened. Pedro - 130 pitches?

IIRC too there was talk in the media about where Pedro would fit in the rotation , at the his asking price he wasn't a back end guy.

I haven't bought the NY Post in a few years so maybe Hubbach was leading the charge to sign Perdo but I don't believe it for a second. In a season full of missteps by the Mets, arguably their biggest mistake will be staring them in the face tonight And making a statement like that is beyond idiotic.

We can all learn from Jeter , what a humanitarian he is.

I thought it showed no class in the post game press conference that Jeter revealed that he is forcing Bob Sheppard to record a new at bat introduction.. "Shortstop... Number 2... Derek... Jeter..., here comes the greatest yankee hitter ever ......Number 2 ....greatest yankee hitter ever ... Number 2"

Makes you wonder how many trades get made because another proposed one didn't.

Yes , I meant the celebrations were a bit of a damp squib.....as they should during the game...the hit like you said was like a thousand others he has had..

It's done with....got the hit int he 3rd...just watched it on the app.....looked like a bit of a damp squib to me . Teammates came to first base to greet him.

Coaches with the SI Yankees A career BA of .182 but the Mendoza line is not named in his honour.
