  1. Miller I can take , kinda like him and I do like how he seems to be often taking the piss out of Morgan.
  2. Great game for you guys to be at , is Nick Evens as slow in person rounding third as he looked on TV?.
  3. John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: This was pretty good, maybe I shoulda added Got it on your recommendation , was well worth it and very real for England at that time.
  4. A few thousand miles away in St . Lucie.
  5. Castillo out of the game after making the DP , looks like he was limping badly.
  6. Blake DeWitt showing in this series why he was so low on the Dodger depth chart.
  7. Delgado looks totally lost up there , swinging and missing by a foot at times.
  8. Is it mandatory now to show a happy Willie all the time and to praise him all the time , Willie clapping , Willie encouraging , smiling Willie , " That's one thing Torre does so good( talking to Kershaw after he took him out) , oh and Willie too".....crazy.
  9. There seems to be nothing Jay won't do for his players , Santana asked him before his last start to wear this orange jacket for luck and Jay has not taken it off since. Gary mentioned during the game last night that the jacket has been kicking around the Mets club house for years , I forget who he said brought it in first.
  10. Vince Coleman Firecracker wrote: What does Val Pascucci have to do to get another shot in the majors? For the last 4+ years, he's been absolutely raking at AAA and in Japan. I'd much rather see him as the RH side of a 1B platoon than Easley, and I don't think much would be gained by bringing up Carp before he starts seeing AAA pitching. Can Val bunt?
  11. Snooze. ] RIGHT IN THERE: Carlos Delgado started last night against Dodgers righthander Brad Penny after sitting against Marlins lefthanders Andrew Miller and Scott Olsen the previous two days. Willie Randolph maintained he will not use a straight platoon now, which means Delgado should play tonight against Dodgers southpaw Clayton Kershaw, although the manager wanted to first review tape of the ballyhooed rookie. With Moises Alou and Ryan Church both injured, Randolph knows he needs to get Delgado to return to form, not start platooning him. "Let's be real," Randolph said. "With Moises being out and Church being out, we're going to have to find some thump somewhere." Delgado, who went 2-for-4 with a run, didn't sound prepared to accept being platooned anyway. "Then we would need to talk," he said.
  12. Hi cracker , welcome Abordick. I thought there were plenty of boos mixed in with the standing ovation , which to me watching at home seemed half hearted , like a hurry the fuck of the field kind of ovation.
  13. Tatis - 2 Chavez - 2 Heilman - 2 Castillo - 1.5 reyes - 1.5 Wagner - 0.5 Schoeneweis - 0.5
  14. Wright - 4 Castillo - 1.5 Vargas - 1.5 Schoeneweis - 1 Muniz - .5 Smith - .5 Chavez - .5 Reues - .5
  15. I would cut him and cut Delgado , and Willets.
  16. At this rate Jeffy will want a meeting every Monday.
  17. When I was reading Dodger Blues today a poster noted how " Wright kills Penny"....hell yeah.
  18. Yes I should have made that clear , it's the crowds problem , but it can have an effect I think.
  19. I think part of the problem is that no matter how good he is he will always be a big hit away from getting mauled by the Shea crowd.
  20. Yeah another list , but I bet this one will surprise you and perhaps have you shaking your head. No Citizen Cane Times article. Take your seats for the top 100 films Another film list? The same old Citizen Kane? No � this one�s different, says The Times�s chief film critic James Christopher You may be suffering from list exhaustion. There are so many about, and especially on film. But this one is different. Yes, of course we�d say that. But having read endless Top 100 film lists, we felt short-changed. Sure, they�re definitive in their way, but they don�t have many surprises. This one aims to be all-encompassing, certainly, and authoritative. But it is also intended to cause debate and maybe consternation. None of us � myself, my fellow critics at The Times and my editor Tim Teeman � realised how contentious this list would be to compile. We didn�t want simply to rearrange the furniture as other lists do. Nor to kow-tow to monolithic critical masterpieces routinely crowned year on year. There are some spectacular casualties. Citizen Kane (1941) failed to cut the mustard. The genius of Orson Welles was not to be denied. But it was felt that his sour and seedy thriller Touch of Evil (1958) was not only equally audacious in terms of pure film-making, but also had greater resonance than Kane. Some omissions are too painful to talk about: Groundhog Day, The Servant, The Lives of Others, Psycho, The English Patient. (All my choices naturally.) Tastes vary dramatically, and you would be amazed how few critics will fall on their swords when it comes to such a fraught subject. That said, the list looks far fresher and younger than any of us dared hope. The number of recent releases vying for places near the summit is a surprise. I shall be horrified if anyone agrees with every one of our choices. The point of The Times Top 100 Films of All Time is to stimulate argument, and sharpen your own thoughts about the ingredients that make great movies. Now, if you�d like to take your seats for the main presentation . . .
  21. Still has a way to go , right now I would grade him E , for effort.
  22. Dodger fans aren't that happy either , from the ever brilliant " Dodgers Blues" board. From their version of a KTE. ] We're going to be the team that saves Willie Randolph's job. And we get to see the Dodger offense FAIL on national TV on Sunday night. Plus, Penny is 1-9 in his career at Shea. Mets sweep a four-game series at Shea for the first time ever. P.S. Anyone who says we have a shot against the Mets should have his posts edited.
  23. I read that Lofton wants to play for a contender.
  24. Steve , I would rather you told me to fuck off instead of sorry , nothing to be sorry for, it's all a bit-o-fun.
