  1. I think Jerry Koosman's biggest battle was with the IRS, as he spent 6 months as a guest of the federal government for tax evasion. Straw looks like he's contemplating his choice of coke dealers. Piazza looks pissed. And The SI cover is too mishmoshy. Went with Straw.
  2. Cool. Braxton Lee is only 5 days old and already he's playing in Bingo. And I thought Tebow moved through the minors fast.
  3. Robles homered to left (382 feet)
  4. =batmagadanleadoff post_id=6348 time=1554389570 user_id=68] But whaddya expect when you let Jeff Wilpon run wild? You get a plastic Camden Yards knockoff with the stupidest gimmicky dimensions ever and the ugliest scoreboards in all of baseball.
  5. My problem is that in the first week of the season, you've had a 7-run lead in the 9th and a 6-run lead in the 9th, and you've had to use your closer both times. That's not a good trend.
  6. I'm guessing Tom will run away with this one. lol at Alexa.
  7. Imagine if they hadn't scored those two tack-on runs late.
  8. This bullpen is not as good as advertised. This team is 5-1, but it's an ugly 5-1.
  9. I've seen enough of JD Davis, thank you.
  10. Rupert's paywall won't let me see. But I can imagine the gist.
  11. Would it be too much to ask for an old-fashioned blowout?
  12. Benjamin Grimm wrote: http://potg.leaptoad.com/mets/images/schaefer8.jpg> That was me in the 9th inning. Well, minus the lipstick.
  13. "Let's have a half-hour show about random tweets from random people on random sports-related topics so the kidz will think we're kewl".
  14. I don't like games where it's hard to go to sleep afterwards. 5 runs in the top of the first, you're supposed to cruise after that. But nooooooo. They're 4-1, but it's an ugly 4-1.
  15. Somehow staggers through five to be in line for the win.

  18. Like they said about the beaches after the Exxon Valdez ran aground: "It's oily".
  19. You're always going to use more pen early in the season, but Calloway doesn't seem to use it wisely. Riggleman is supposed to be his brains on the bench, but I dunno. Bunting with two strikes had both my wife and I screaming at the TV. She was done with Calloway last year, and nothing she's seen this year has changed her mind.
  20. Nimmo is concerning. He just seems to be flailing up there. Let's see in a few years if we still think Diaz was worth Kelenic.
  21. He'll get his at bats and make the most of them. .310/13/70.
  22. Went with Murph. it was fun while it lasted.
