    Game 2: 2nd inning: Damon 2-out RBI single 4th inning: Jeter 2-out 2R HR 5th inning: Cairo 2-out RBI single 6th inning: Matsui 2-out 2 RBI double Game 3: 1st inning: Rodriguez 2-out 2R HR 2nd inning: Cairo 2-out RBI double followed by a Damon RBI single That's 10 of their 16 runs (so far) in this series that have come off of 2-out hits. And I don't think we want to even discuss how our 2-out hitting has been going.

    I like our "G's" at the end of the lineup better than their "C's"

    I think Joe is actually more concerned with overusing Farnsworth since he's usually been the one who is noticably worse in the multiple innings and/or multiple days situations. So he prolly figured he get MR some work since he's the "known quantity" and then - with the night game after day game - have them both reasonably usuable for Sunday. Plus, having to go to his pen in the 4th inning burned up some of the other options. Nice that it all backfired.

Broken bat single in 1st inning on Friday then 0-fer-9 since w/only 4 balls hit fair and only 1 of them out of the infield. Sheesh! Good signs in the debacle: - we made Rivera throw, what? 35-40 pitches and give up 5 hits. May affect him and/or help us tomorrow - nice ABs by Gomez & Reyes in the 9th - nice game by Gotay ... until the 9th - 15 hits, even if most of them were still singles - hits in the last 2 ABs by the ice-cold Delgado and in the last 3 by the almost as icy LoDuca - ummm, not much else

    In fairness to Schoeneweis, that was a seeing-eye bouncer and a broken-bat dunker. It's just that his track record this season doesn't get him the benefit of the doubt. 12 SBs against Castro w/o any CS ?!?!? That's surprising.

    Ollie

    Frayed Knot replied to a topic in New York Mets Talk

    I saw him doing that ball rolling-on-the-hand deal last night and thought; 'I love it, cuz it's the kind of stupid shit that I do'

    The problem with missing Alou isn't just him but that it's coincided with the injuries to Green, Beltran (short-term), Chavez & Milledge putting us into a situation where we're depending on backup options C, D, & E - Gomez, Newhan & Ledee. Combine that with missing a good RH bat while the LHs are slumping and his absence tends to get magnified. Gomez certainly hasn't had the minor league power numbers that Reyes did, and the plate discipline is still a question. Good athleticism but def still a work in progress. I thought that Cairo ball would have been out.

    Tough to work him into the game notes while he's 3,000 miles away. In all seriousness; - where was Matsui going? Great play by the kid but what a bonehead play! A chiller, by Godzilla !! - Prediction: Much will be made of the small-ball "strategy" of the night but only the first SB actually help create a run. None of Reyes's three mattered in the end and the two CS (particularly the first) may have killed at least one run. The bunt hits were nice though. - Those swings by Cano on several pitches that should have walked him are why I thought the 'Carew-like' projections for him last summer were over-blown. He's got a nice swing but almost needs to hit .300+ to be worth much. - Torre going to Bruney w/two outs and no one on just to get Franco (who he didn't get) surprised me a bit too. Myers had just gotten 4 straight (two righties) with no ball leaving the infield. - Delgado ... brrrrrrrr

Between the spiky haircut; the 'gee don't this stubble make me look tough for the big game?'; and the 'watch me go through this childish pre-game ritual w/the Ruth monument to psyche myself up even though I didn't come to this team until my mid-30s and then only after rejecting them when I was first a FA'; nonsense, this imitating a dumb High-School jock isn't becoming a guy who has kids older than HS age you fuckin' Drama Queen !! 2) Mets strand 2 in the 1st inning !! 3) Little Ball comes through in the 3rd !! 4) DEFENSE !!!! (you knew that one was coming) Gomez robs a HR and doubles up the runner !! 5) Reyes goes Deep !! 6) Oliver retires 10 straight after Reyes' HR !! 7) Cano does Oliver several favors by going after bad 3-2 pitches !! 8) Pedro & Joe do the job in relief !! 9) More DEFENSE from Beltran 10) Wagner does the job !!

    But w/2 already out and a guy up who hasn't gotten a ball past the pitcher's mound all game (despite two hits) he's unlikely to score playing it conservative. I didn't have a problem with the try and it took a perfect throw to get him.

    No need, they just replayed it: To the question about who would be in the 2-slot: - I'm going to think about it some more, not sure what I'll do yet To a question about putting LoDuca at #2: - pretty much shot that down immediately, especially MadDog's thought that PLD at the top would "energize the lineup" To Francesa's suggestion about putting Beltran there: - You may wind up looking smart before the night is over "Are you saying ira is clueless or a liar?" We report, you decide

    I heard (most of) that interview and don't remember him ruling anything out. M&MD specifically suggested it and he gave the standard non-committal "considering several possibilities" angle.

    btw, I grabbed the Astros even though I already have two because I think they were left off the orignial claim sheet and no one ask for them specifically. If someone who either doesn't have a team and wants in on this, or maybe someone who wants a second, step on up. If not, I'll do 'em ... no biggie.
