  1. Holy crap. Seven pitches! Didn't even get my seatbelt on.
  2. Pierre retired with the tying run on third. Of all the guys to be killing us this week, I'm glad to get that guy out. I didn't even want to pitch to him.
  3. At the time, David was tweeting that he saw Rubin on his iPhone.
  4. I adore tack-on runs. They are the key to the universe and all that is good comes from them.

  7. That sounds like faint praise, too. And for Backman's part, it sounds like baldfaced self-promotion. I suddenly want Lee Elia. I hope we get fuckin' hotter than shit, just to stuff it up them 3,000 fuckin' people that show up every fuckin' day, because if they're the real New York fuckin' fans, they can kiss my fuckin' ass right downtown and PRINT IT!
  8. His .616 slugging percentage is nice too.
  9. Ceetar wrote: I wary of demanding he get fired up though. Wasn't there a "Get thrown out" campaign for Randolph? I feel like Manuel spent the second half of 2008 purposely acting like exactly the opposite of everything anyone ever complained Randolph. I don't think I mean to suggest that showing more fire = screaming at umpires.
  10. I�m genuinely surprised by the number of people who think Terry Collins should be fired today. People like blood.
  11. Ceetar wrote: but the 'knows the players' already angle is bs mostly. Agreed, but whose angle is that? OE: I get it, the Johnson-in-1984 angle.
  12. The Mets haven't had a manager as good as Collins in more than 10 years. And it's not even close. This matters nothing as far as Terry's job security goes, and it's not even a compliment to Terry. But I'm just sayin', is all. Agreed. I'd rate the post-Valentine bunch as: Collins Randolph Manuel Howe ... with a wide gap between the first two. Manuel's best traits were probably more useful for a time than Howe's but his worst traits were more damaging, so I can flop 'em as needed. Collins, Randolph, and Howe all have seemed utterly self-conscious. Manuel was the loosest of the bunch, but often that led to an obliviousness to a glaring oversight.
  13. A thread to trace whether there's any meaningful difference in David Wright's game now that he's wearing the invisible C. I loved the very Davidian way he fought with the umpire last night in a completely responsible and self-consciously upright way, making sure he turned toward the other umps to ask for time before making his case passionately but evenly, always staying at least 12 inches from the third base ump. He can only be what he be. Even losing his temper, he's Rhon and Elsa Wright's good citizen son first. He wasn't gonna win the fight, but I wanted to give him a merit badge.
  14. I'm getting the impression that Terry was never really so much the hothead he was portrayed as being. But he was so sensitive to that notion arriving with his hiring here, that he's over-corrected and is over-playing the mother hen part of his job. (I frankly get the notion that he's very good and passionate about developing young players.) I think more of the fire that helps weld a team together and excite them for battle would be nice to see. The guy that's convinced his team can lick any comers even when all evidence says otherwise. If he's really on the hot seat, I hope he lets Battling Terry off the leash before he goes. If nothing else, it'll give us some entertainment and a chance to see if there was anything to the caricature in the first place, and give the team a man on fire to rally around.
  15. Can the people hear, hear what Ceetar's sayin'?

  17. Can the people hear, what the little Fish are sayin'?
  18. I've made up my mind To make a new start I'm beating up the Marlins and their stadium's ...modern art
  19. Except the K. And the double play.
  20. I'd have gone to the pen after the leadoff guy got on. I'd've had the pen firing on all cylinders, man. Bad choice by Recks, but Wright was right.
  21. It's what I think about when. Man, three hard-hit balls in the ninth for naught.
  22. I like the false humility of "I had plenty of faults and character flaws... ." But I'm like totally perfect now.
  23. Let's get that man some runs for the game of his career.
  24. Like the bunt by Lagares. Like letting Hef bat.
