I don't know who bfmc is jcl. Thanks for the data, really, but to me, he is still an over-manager. I agree w/you about making a statement and Mets management has made a statement by keeping him.

Good for Collins, bad for the Mets. Another year of bunting early and often and more pitching changes because "the book" says so.

I have no problem with Jeter and Pettitte going to the mound last night (nor do I really care, it means more to me that the Mets lost), but if an injured player is going to be allowed to go onto the playing field during a game (Jeter, of course), in violation of MLB rules, then why can't the Mets wear the NYPD and NYFD hats on 9/11? Because it's the MFYs? Because of money (MLB only wants licensed hats to be worn during a game)? I anticipate the release of a commemorative coin of the event and then the three of them signing copies of the picture for Steiner Sports. But the Mets can't wear a hat to honor fallen heroes.

The Mets finish the year over .500!!! (away from Citi Field)

Farewell to the "World Series or Bust" Nationals, the team that shutdown their best pitcher because they'd be there next year. They didn't win last year and won't win this year. Too bad, so sad. No Curly W's in October. Enjoy the Redskins, you fair weather fans. And yes, I'm sorry for Davey.

I'm guessing that Kay said this today (I won't verify): "Now Mo and Andy will be enshrined together."

TC said that Turner, who was on deck when Recker was up, was merely a "decoy"--that must have scared 'em!

How can FAN keep this idiot? http://thebiglead.com/2013/09/17/john-sterling-his-worst-screw-up-on-a-home-run-call-ever/

Something else F. Wilpon has done wrong: he hasn't died. Dammit, there's another thing to atone for tonight.

He bunts with that lineup? Ugh. Thanks for the information. Someone's getting fired in Anaheim--either Scoscia or DiPoto.

Mike Scioscia, but I'd be thrilled with anybody except the return of Shorty McBunty. The GM said that he wanted the Mets to finish strong--I hope he watched the week. I know that the Mets are shorthanded without Wright but that's no excuse for getting one hit and three hit within three games. We always hear "the Mets play hard for Terry" but there has been no evidence of this of late. It's time for him to go.

@AdamKilgoreWP: "It's a good thing we don't play them again." -- Davey on Francisco hitting Werth. Davey, STFU. We love you, but no one is defending FF and you're never going to manage a game against "them" again so stop the big talk.

Apparently TC forgot that Hairston killed left-handers last season.

Anthony Recker?

My guess is that they end up on ESPN-NY with a simulcast on AM. Kay, the MFY announcer, would be the lead-in to Mets weeknight games.

The Yankees and CBS Radio are close to a deal that would put the Yankees on WFAN starting in 2014, a person familiar with the negotiations told Newsday. The arrangement would bump the Mets off the station that has carried their games since WFAN's inception in 1987. Lonn Trost, the Yankees' chief operating officer, said Tuesday a deal for the team's radio rights is "close," but he would not confirm or deny that WFAN is the likely landing place. "Right now we're in negotiations and everything is confidential," Trost said. "Part of the agreement we're drafting has a confidentiality agreement. I can't even get into it. I am close with some entity for next year." Still, he cautioned, "Things have gone in so many directions with this negotiation . . . I can't tell you today if it will be the same thing tomorrow." It is not clear where the Mets would land, but options include ESPN Radio and one or more of the New York stations -- including WOR -- owned by Clear Channel Communications, which earlier in the process made a serious bid for the Yankees' rights. All indications are that John Sterling would remain the team's play-by-play man. Less certain is the status of his partner, Suzyn Waldman, but if the team gives its blessing they will continue the on-air partnership that began in 2005. The Yankees currently are carried by WCBS Radio, which like WFAN, is owned by CBS. The current one-year contract is believed to pay the team $13 to $14 million. The Mets are believed to earn about half what the Yankees do in rights fees but have been a money-loser for WFAN, which inherited the team when it took over WHN's 1050-AM signal in 1987. The Mets then moved down the dial with WFAN to 660-AM in 1988. http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/source-yankees-close-to-deal-to-move-to-wfan-in-2014-1.6044600 Will the Mets prefer to stay on AM, and possibly be on WOR, or go to ESPN-NY which means FM? I removed the question mark in the title as Rubin tweeted: "Jeff Wilpon confirms #Mets leaving WFAN. Says team negotiating with several parties."

Holy crap, ESPN NY radio is "celebrating the Month of Mo."

I'm glad that this was pointed out. I hate it when Terry makes a double-switch in the 5th or 6th inning. It's too early to remove a starter for a bench player and you often end up with an unfavorable matchup (e.g. lefty v lefty) but can't pinch-hit because you've already used up your bench.

They win the first two, get our hopes up for a sweep against a team of sons of bitches, we wait all day for the game, for over two and a half-hours things looked great... and then Rice and German piss it away. Dammit. After [u:12x4vnod]The Washington Post[/u:12x4vnod] called the Mets "eminently beatable", this would have been great.

Q should have held it but as it turns out, everyone would have scored on the double. Frigging bullpen.

Idiotic throw by Q.
