  1. That play by Bichette was enough to send Lara off to seek help from Dr. Zhivago
  2. Bruce Bochy en Francais
  3. Colombia: Dilson Herrera U.S. Virgin Islands: Joe Christopher
  4. Germany = Ron Gardenhire
  5. I can't imagine what Robert could do in the next two weeks that would make anyone want to trade for him. There simply isn't enough time and even if he catches fire it'll be seen as a small sample size too iffy to chase.
  6. Well, the Yanx have scored 8 runs in 4 innings so far tonight. 8 - 5 in the 5th. Elsewhere, the Dodgers kick off the second leg of their northeast tour in Philly, coming off taking two of three vs those Yanquis in their Bronx - Philly - Queens road trip. Braves are hosting the slumping Padres to start the week The Marlins, who are suddenly on a six game losing streak (including losing twice to the Brewers by walk-off), are in Houston starting tonight And the Nats will be in Colorado for the next three days.
  7. Duane Ward - 62 RH reliever who was a 1st round/9th overall draft pick by the Braves in 1982. He came up with Atlanta in '86 but traded to Toronto* before the year was out and spent the rest of his nine year career with them including on their two WS teams in '92 (against Atlanta) & '93 (Phils) where he allowed just one ER over 8 WS innings combined. No cause of death was announced. * for Doyle Alexander whom the Braves flipped a year later to Detroit for some guy named Smoltz. Smoltz did OK with ATL but the year Alexander was traded to Detroit he made 11 starts down the stretch going 9-0 with a 1.53 ERA as the Tigers won the AL East by just 2.0 games before losing the ALCS to Minnesota ... so maybe the deal worked out for all concerned. The Tigers made a great deadline pickup and made the playoffs; Ward closed for two WS winners,, and Smoltz went to the HoF
  8. Sham Mets 2 - 1. First winning road series in six weeks. They still somehow managed to turn 14 hits (11 singles) + 7 walks into just six runs (3/14 w/RiSP) ... but we can't expect to solve all these problems in just one weekend.
  9. In addition to the Mets 5 - 0 led, Luis Torrens has a 3 - 0 lead on HP ump Felix Neon: three challenges, three overturns. Luis is playing the bully by picking on the rookie.
  10. Yes, there was a second Rusty's in midtown but it didn't last very long. I went there once but the decor was all fancy midtown so, for me, not up to par with the original. For a time I was hanging around with. a girl who lived in the neighborhood nearby so I went to the 3rd avenue one a bunch of times.
  11. I'm paying attention. Did my bike ride this morning and the British Open golf finished up just as the top of the 1st was starting. Mets not only have a non-solo HR in this game but they've failed to hit into a single DP despite numerous chances to do so.
  12. I doubt Lindor gets dealt. I think the story, broken by SNY's (formerly Newsday's) Chelsea Janes, was the Mets planting a story that everyone shy of the young stars (Ewing, Benge, Scott) are available for talks was a Cohen/Stearns leak to say that if any team out there is willing to be aggressive they the Mets are willing to meet them half way. iow, It doesn't hurt to listen but that doesn't mean they're actively peddling him.
  13. I hadn't even realized the game had been restarted. But, hey, we got three hits ... and two of them left the infield!!!! Plus they didn't hit into a single double play!! Mets last nine HRs have been solos. And another oh-fer w/RiSP puts them at 1 for their last 35
  14. Met pitchers certainly do, how you say, ... a lot of pitching.
  15. The mid-July update shows small signs of improvement in the Noffense ... even if not in that pesky W/L statistic that some teams seem to care about so much. Hey, 90 for an OPS+ (10% below ML average) beats the hell out of 79 which is where they were in early May.

  19. And just to finish the autopsy on yesterday's game: - Mets took another oh-fer w/RiSP. OK it was a mere 0/6 (which beats those oh-for-double-digit days they pull sometimes). But they also only got two hits (2/11) with runners on of any kind: one a single sandwiched by two walks which was then followed by the bases-loaded/no-out-line-out DP. The other was the late Ewing double plating the only run not created by a solo HR. Oh yeah, and their 3 HRs accounted for just 3 runs. But the staff gave up 1 run on 4 hits and the pen alone got 10 outs while allowing just a BB and a solo HR. So a good night all around.
  20. Essentially it was moved from today to yesterday. ESPN wanted a stand-alone game on an otherwise dead day for sports [post-ASG, between WC rounds, not yet training camp, etc.] and I'm sure it's in the new contract that they and MLB signed in the off-season that they get to do this every once in a while.
  21. Trying to keep their one game winning streak alive, the Mets send Sean Manaea to the mound in a battle of lefties as the Phightins will counter with Jesus Luzardo. Drink will flow and blood will spill.
