    Yes, it is. Or so says Yahoo Sports. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/boxscore;_ylt=AqbElx7305CFNa2deSZacLQRvLYF?gid=270921128 It says so at the bottom of the page, in Game Notes.

    Moises Alou now has a 25-game hit streak. That's a new Mets record, folks.
  3. Valadius
    We haven't called up too many guys.
  4. Valadius
    Sweet, we're winning!

    Actually, it was 41 days. But who's counting? I actually share a birthday with William Henry Harrison.

    Wow, the D-Rays are dropping the Devil from their name. I can't believe I haven't heard about this before. I do like their new colors, but yeah, they look like they're copying the Dodgers to some extent.

    Interesting note: Ray Knight does pre- and post-game stuff for the Nats.

    Toronto's out, and the Cards are out of the wild card.

    Ryan Franklin shuts Philly down in the top of the ninth. St. Looie coming up.

    We win at last! And bmfc, that's freaking hilarious! There he is!

    D-Wright sac flies Castillo home!
  13. Valadius
    Reyes singles, Castillo with the TRIBOOM to drive him home!

    Z, you made my freaking day! Too bad my laptop's busted, I can't wait to save the image when I get it fixed though.
  15. Valadius
    Alou is up to a 23-game hitting streak.
  16. Valadius
    Z - Conine the Barbarian. I'm begging you.
  17. Valadius
    Thank God Alou is back in there.

    I just picked Reggie at random, but let's throw another one out there. This time, I've picked a sure-fire Hall-of-Famer, who's the exact same age, so we're comparing them during the same exact seasons: Ken Griffey, Jr., who was considered by many to be the best player in baseball during the majority of Juan Gone's career. Gonzalez, 1991-2003 424 HR 1368 RBI 1866 hits 1027 R 374 2B Griffey, 1991-2003 443 HR 1243 RBI 1781 hits 1119 R 331 2B Now obviously Juan Gone wasn't as good as Griffey was, all-around. Gonzalez didn't have Griffey's speed or defensive ability. But during the same timeframe, facing for a majority of the time the same pitchers in the same league and the same division, Gonzalez compares very favorably to Griffey.

    See, I think you should be able to look at players in two ways - total career stats and a minimum of 10 best consecutive seasons. Again, I call it the Ralph Kiner Exception. So let me compare Juan Gonzalez with a random Hall of Famer. Say Reggie Jackson. Let's take Juan Gone's best years, heck let's do his numbers from when he was 21 to when he was 33, which essentially was his career: Gonzalez 424 HR 1368 RBI 1866 hits 1027 R 374 2B Now let's take Jackson's numbers for the same period in his life: Jackson 369 HR 1120 RBI 1720 hits 1051 R 323 2B You might make a point that Jackson was barely in the bigs at 21, and you'd be right. But let's look at the at-bats between the two for the same time: Gonzalez - 6278 AB Jackson - 6349 AB So Jackson got 71 more at-bats than Gonzalez did during the same time in their lives, and Gonzalez put up better numbers. I don't have time now to go and shift Jackson's seasons we look at here up by one, from 21 to 33 to 22 to 34, but I can tell immediately that Gonzalez still ends up putting up better numbers.

    Peterson?

    It's just that our pitchers fall to pieces once guys get on base.

    I'm not focusing on what's gonna happen with Willie yet. Let's finish the season first.
  22. Valadius
    Yeah, that dude was one angry Met fan. That drunk dude behind us wearing that blue #20 football jersey was a nut, wasn't he? He went after some dude in a MFYs Sheffield jersey.
  23. Valadius
    I'd better try to sleep now before the game is over. Otherwise I won't be able to.
  24. Valadius
    As I said to Edgy at the game, that stuff Hershiser said about Maine not having the right look in his eyes or whatever, I just remembered, when I went to Willie's charity auction thing, Maine was there, and he was just really really quiet. He was most often off in a corner somewhere, like he was hiding. I didn't make much of it until now, but now it speaks volumes.

    Oh no. Not Maroth...
