Great Camera angle on Castros's hit

I thought it hit the sign but got confused with the hot dog wrapper. Love the shoe polish idea

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 27 2009 10:41 AM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Jun 09 2009 10:23 PM I'm LWFS, and I've been a Livan bigot. Even at the point during the Hot Stove months, when pitching quantity was of the essence-- and during a time when I actually pumped my fist when hearing of Garcia's signing-- I rolled my eyes when Livan was brought on board. Even as Redding was taking it on the furry chin and the Chief was getting tomahawked and Niese was getting his socks knocked off... I rolled my eyes. Even when we agreed that innings were of the essence, I rolled my eyes, and put imaginary guns in my mouth. For the first two months of the season, I've mentally chalked up losses next to his name on series previews. When I've seen Livan's name pencilled in for a start-- I have sighed, often enough and loudly enough that my family and co-workers wonder "what's wrong." When I've seen his name pencilled in for a start I'm attending-- I've seen three in person already this year-- I've felt preemptively dyspeptic, as if I were the one eating innings while giving up one-and-a-half runners per. Not only have I laughed along at hacky fat-pitcher jokes-- including many premised on "innings-eating" twists-- I've made my share and then some. I've referred to him among friends on multiple occasions as "Brown Grimace" and "Extra-Meat Cuban." Just yesterday, I referred to him in these precincts as "Senor Frisbee" and "the cold I just can't shake." But he's been good. He's been demonstrably good. The Mets are 6-3 in Livan starts, and, one could reasonably argue they should be at least 7-2. He's been our best pitcher whose name doesn't rhyme with "Blohan Mantana" for two months now, and by a pretty significant margin. Despite being blown up in his only two non-quality starts, he's maintained a 4.28 ERA, and-- since his FIP's just a touch above that, and he's working a BABIP that's just about in-line with his career average-- he looks like he could do this indefinitely. Just yesterday, I watched him dance out of trouble and whip cartoony 60-mph curveballs through the drizzle and around enemy bats. I saw him throw a complete game-- I hadn't seen that since the old place. It was fun. Then again, maybe he's having a good stretch. Maybe he's not last year's Jamie Moyer, but this year's Jamie Moyer in waiting. Maybe his engine-- never terribly efficient to begin with-- is 30 miles away from conking out, in a midseason desert of injuries and fading playoff hopes. For the time being, however, I've got egg on my face (and, for the first time in a while, I won't feel tempted to make a joke about an overweight Cuban man eating it).

Fman99 May 27 2009 08:42 PM Hi, my name is Fman99 and I am a jerkface. "Hi, Fman!" I am guilty of railing, repeatedly and stoidly, against the unbalanced schedule and the 19 games apiece against the division foes. But the old schedule wouldn't get us 19 games against this woeful bunch of has-beens and never-was'es that wear the uniform of the Washington Nationals. It's got me just giddy, especially with me having tickets to next Sunday's Mets/Nats tilt in D.C.
