    According to Mets.com, RHP Gonzalez Germen is on his way to NY. A 25 y/o Right-hander, Germen is not exactly lighting things up out in the desert: 5.70 ERA, 1.34 WHiP, and before we blame it on the location, those numbers aren't too far off from what he was doing in Buffalo last year: 5.14, 1.26 Sounds like a temporary move at best. A corresponding move will made prior to Tuesday's game. Lyon? Tough to make a case for anyone getting the boot instead of him assuming there's not an injury we don't know of.

    Rivera pitched the 9th last night despite a six-run lead on account of their recent losing ways not getting him enough work.

    Howie Rose had barely finished his call on the game-winning hit when he topped it off with: '... and Kirk Gibson's got some 'splainin' to do'

    Seven PAs for Buck last night -- Zero fair balls hit: 3 Ks, 3 BBs (2 intentional) and a foul out.

    marathon and I post near identical rants simultaneously (only his was nastier and better). Bottom line is, what the YLDBs have found out, to their great surprise and dismay, is that "the kids" all turned out to be 26 year olds who hit .210 or have near 5.00 ERAs

    It was always funny throughout their non-winning years in the 2000s when Yanqui fans were longing for the "good old days" of the 1990s, for the team they claimed to like much better on account of it being before the FA buying binge when they had all those home-grown players. Only problem with that logic was that attendance during that time was about half what it would be a decade later [1996 = 2,250K vs 2006 = 4,250K]. IOW, whether they want to admit to it or not, Yanqui fans showed up A LOT more when they stacked the team with outside "name" players and the fact that, despite a string of injuries which has forced the team into doing exactly what many fans claim they wanted all along -- "Bring up the kids"!! -- both attendance and apparently TV ratings are now dropping as a result.

Assuming you meant in the 13th inning, I didn't think it was all that out of whack. * The danger, of course, is that he was putting the winning run on when he walked Buck and "The Book" considers that a no-no. On the other hand he did it to get to a pitcher batting (no NYM options) who, if he swung away, was a GiDP candidate or, if he bunted, the 2nd out. * IW-ing Q to get to Brown is a little more suspect in that it brought the game-tying walk into play. But it also gave Collmenter a RHB to face instead of a LHB, a newbie instead of a vet, and worked around the night's hot batter for one recently in the game. Am certainly not claiming it was the only path to choose, but it was not without its reasoning.

    Only problem is, now I'm too keyed up to go to bed.

    I kept telling you it would come down to buck ... and he wound up scoring the winning run.
  10. Frayed Knot
    FUCKIN' FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. Frayed Knot
    Snakes walking Buck to get to the better hitter.
  12. Frayed Knot
    I am sooooooo tired of losing this type of game. And, once again, to avoid it it's going to come down to Buck
  13. Frayed Knot
    I'd like to say that this hitless/RiSP/LOB-filled streak can't go on forever ... except we all know that it quite easily can.

    I think Montero briefly kicked that ball away just to see if Buck would try running.
  17. Frayed Knot
    And, as always, it comes down to Buck.

    POP QUIZ: I started this game about two hours behind real-time, and I've watched every pitch, and I've caught up. Which means: A) This game is laggin' like a chloroformed dragon I am an excellent DVRer C) This game is laggin' AND I am an excellent DVRer Hey! Walk! D) All of the Above
  19. Frayed Knot
    Dammit, we got the leadoff guy on. Our chances of scoring just went down the drain.
  20. Frayed Knot
    Just so you all have some advanced warning, this inning could very well involve a John Buck appearance.
  21. Frayed Knot
    Not to make a federal case out of it or anything, but the DBacks pitchers tonight have gone from Wade (Miley) to (Chaz) Roe.

    So it's Q - Brown - Young to set it up for Muffy's game winning hit.

He's like Peter Fuckin Sellers out there. But first he had to have that great April to lure us all in. It's like the beautiful Russian spy who fucks your brains out first then gets all the secrets out of you.

    Jeez, Young was playing in the Shea CF!!
