  1. My brother who I took to his first baseball game Friday night remarked how much tension he felt in the crowd , of course he saw the fight and all that but he was surprised because 1) there is no away fans section so it's not like the Mets fans were directing anger towards those fans , 2 ) there was a lot of kids at the game. For a person who has been to some big soccer matches like Celtic /Rangers and Man Utd /Liverpool he was surprised at the tension he felt at this game. There were a few girls right behind us that were shouting for the Braves and an ass behind them with three young kids that spent the night directing abuse at the young Braves fans behind us. I hate that stuff.
  2. From what I have heard I like him , actually I have been listening to more radio lately , Howie told the Choo Choo Coleman with Ralph Kiner story during the game yesterday and Hagin got a huge kick out of it, he has that newness to him , I dunno I kinda liked that moment.
  3. Yeah , I have been told it's not illegal just not recommended.
  4. Farmer Ted wrote: It looked more like humility on Delgado's part. If I was batting under .200, there's no way I go up on the top step. Bingo. ] "The way I look at it, I hit a solo home run in the seventh inning. I got a great deal of respect for the game and I don't think that's the place for a curtain call," said Delgado, who began the day with one homer, a .186 batting average and very little backing from the home fans through 23 games. "We appreciate the support of the fans, but we're here to play the game. They pay me to go out and hit the ball and drive in runs, and I didn't think it was the right situation. "Having said that," he quickly added, "I'm not going to lie. I feel good. It's a lot better than the boos."
  5. I thought Gary and Ron went on far too long about Delgado right after that home run. I thought Ron played both sides of the argument , NY fans are a tough crowd , Delgado is a smart guy , fans play a lot of money , players get played a lot yyybbb. Gary IIRC seemed to think that Delgado should have come out for the call and remarked upon the Beltran curtain call , Ron thought Beltran was right to come out for that but seemed to think that Delgado didn't need to come for this one.
  6. Val you tease.............isn't sending bundles of cash via Fed-Ex illegal ?
  7. I was naive to say the least in regards to Zito and what it would take to get him.
  8. Unnamed scouts claim Zito has no arm strength and thus can't throw his curve like he would want , especially because his "fastball" is in the mid eighties it makes that curve look like rubbish.
  9. Not that the Pirates are a great team but this being their only Shea visit seems wrong.
  10. Delgado - 3 Castillo - 1.5 Figueroa - 1 Wagner - 1 Church - 1 Reyes - 1 Feliciano - 1
  11. Castillo - 2.5 Anderson - 1 Church - 1 Beltran - 1 Feliciano - .5
  12. ="Frayed Knot"]Scandals, bar-rooms, sex with under-age southern trailer-trash, substance abuse, adultery, broken families, reality TV shows, bankruptcy, ... etc. That's just not a country singer, hell that's a country SONG!! LOL.......I love it , she'll no doubt tell all now to get publicity for her new show.
  13. Wasn't there talk that Minaya would go five years to get Posada? anyway that's a big bullet dodged .
  14. And he was a 28 year old stud , sorry , a stud in the Red Sox rotation......Clemens is a scumbag , we knew that and now the rest of the country is finding out.
  15. What eegit asked for that?
  16. Making way too much out of Delgado not going for the curtain call , he's had a great game in a so far poor season , I doubt he feels like celebrating . I don't think it's about dissing the fans at all.
  17. Minaya says Alou may have fractured ankle. Alou
  18. Maine - 3 Beltran - 1.5 Wright - 1.5 Church - 1.5 Wagner - 1.0 Sanchez - 0.75 Schoeneweis - 0.75
  19. Sanchez 1 Casanova 1 Feliciano .5

  21. NY Mets are 1 -8 this season when the other team scores first...........
  22. I complained to the vendor but it went nowhere and to be honest I didn't follow up , just a note to myself not to buy stuff like that from ebay.
  23. MBTN was on a case recently. http://mbtn.net/ebay-met-mystery
  24. I have resolved not to buy any more Mets jersey's from ebay , I bought a Pedro one in 05 and when it came it was not the real thing. I can see how the Cone jersy would fool people , nice catch.
  25. Took my brother to the game , he was here all week form Ireland and tonight was the only chance to see a game , could we have gone and seen a more abject Mets performance , I think not. The most exciting thing was the fight in the second bank of seating behind the third base dugout , noting more than "handbags at six paces" but more fun than the game. Mets were fucking brutal.
