  1. I really don't like Cano and his look at me I'm so fucking cool how I noncholant this throw to first base.

  3. Nice catch there Church .
  4. Really liked that exchange between Miller and Morgan regarding the pick by Giambi on the Cano throw, Joe made me laugh.
  5. I'm nervous , come on you Mets.

I mean either you make an out call or NO call - but not a safe call. We all know Jeter can do things that no one else in MLB history can do, but do we have to make his baselines only 85 feet too? That was just weird , then the ump did a juggle motion like that made a difference ,Jeter was still no where near the bag. When the Castillo relay got to Schneider and he blocked home plate with his foot Gary mentioned during the replay that blocking the plate like that was a lost art, at that moment I turned over to YES to see it they thought it was a good call , they did and Cone made the very same point as Gary.
  9. it's squeaky bum time now , come on Wags.

  11. Gotta love Fransworth getting beat with his third best pitch , twice.
  12. Liked the movie a lot , liked how it ended , love the soundtrack.
  13. In fact Minaya's words were " Juno I give Willie a vote for confidence , knowwhatImean?"
  14. Not really , play the stupid game Monday during the day , Mets then go to Atlanta while the wankers are at home for Baltimore.
  15. John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: They skip Rasner, get Around back and interrupt a Met homestand. FU MFYs So they are going to do the two stadium doubleheader in June ?
  16. I don't get it , is the forecast for the weekend shitty , is that why?
  17. Mets have a double header Tuesday in Atlanta, play two tomorrow.
  18. A bit of track but the other night before a game Kevin Burkhardt was interviewing Tony Bernazard about the minor league players , Burkhardt would ask him about a player and Bernazard would refer to the player as Mr. Martinez , Mr. Murphy , Mr. Carp....very strange.
  19. Yeah Willie let it slip during a jaw fest about his " last" visit to " The Stadium" with the writers yesterday.....
  20. Dave Mlicki remembers , nice article. ] Jim Baumbach The annual installments of the Subway Series surely don't pass without Mets fans thinking of Dave Mlicki and that memorable shutout he pitched in the first ever Mets-Yankees regular-season game in 1997. And you know what? Mlicki still thinks about that game a lot, too. "It was one of the most fun days I could have ever had," Mlicki said Friday from his Dublin, Ohio home. The most recent reminder of the gem he threw in a 6-0 win on June 16, 1997 came when he opened his local newspaper Friday morning. He saw the Mets and Yankees were starting another series in the Bronx, which It's a story he has probably told hundreds of times to so many strangers, but he doesn't mind one bit. "When I first saw the schedule for that year, I knew I really wanted to pitch in that series. I really wanted to be one of those three guys. I had it penciled in my calendar," Mlicki said. "Then, when Bobby [Valentine] told me I would be the first one, I was ecstatic. I wasn't nervous. It was weird." Mlicki recalled getting to Yankee Stadium early that day, because it was the first time he had ever been there. He walked out to Monument Park and checked out the plaques and monuments, allowing himself to take in the illustrious history from that stadium just hours before he would make a bit of history himself. He said he felt only the usual bit of nerves before the game, then instantly found a sense of calm on the mound. Of course the 3-0 lead his teammates gave him before he even threw a pitch helped, too. "It was just was one of those days when everything felt right," he said. "It's hard even for me to explain." Fans still send him letters about that game, including articles they've kept for more than a decade now. "The front page of Newsday, I still get that," Mlicki said. He said he has a special room in his house where he said he keeps everything, including framed articles, front pages and pictures. He has the game ball as well as a cup of dirt he took from the Yankee Stadium pitcher's mound long after the game ended. This is the sixth season that Mlicki has been retired for, and he said he spends most of his time now playing golf and being a father to his two sons, Avery (6�) and Gavin (5�). They're just starting Tee Ball now, and he said he's enjoying baseball now through them. He even is thinking about bringing them to New York this summer so they can see Shea Stadium, his old workplace, before it's torn down. Just recently Mlicki's parents surprised him by playing a video of that memorable game for his sons, who had never seen it. "They think I'm the best pitcher in the world, which is pretty cool," Mlicki said. For one night some 11 years ago, Mets fans would agree.
  21. Maybe Hurdle is bringing him because last season Willie gave up his spot to have surgery .
  22. What about a trade , would a Paul Konerko be available , he signed a five year $60 million contract in 05 , IIRC there has been trade rumors regarding him the last few seasons. Do the Mets have the players to get him...
  23. Michael Abreu I think , if Delgado got hurt I would think Carp would come up and share time with Anderson I suppose.
  24. Nice work , I 'm looking forward to this series with a mixture of fear and dread. Love the personal memories Soup.
  25. Reyes had a slight hesitation , that didn't help , but Reyes scores form second on a hit so ..... I would like to add that I can't fault him for being aggressive.
