Wright can't move a freaking bat?

No Reyes..is it possible he wasn't DL'd because there isn't anyhing worth replacing him with?? Mike Carp you coulda been a contender

Dear Mr. Vaccaro. yes you've come a long from Arkansas 15 years ago. You are a leading MFY fan and have blogged how you're greatest moment in sports was your Bob Costas moment in an opposition clubhouse as Scott Brosiuis homered. Please take your 350 pound stuttering butt, yes thats why sports reporters won't have you on and return to Ark. MFY land with the wife that me and Billy introduced you to before return to NJ when landed that big offer from the star ledger. Is Steve Philips a jerk? Maybe yes, maybe no, but he's our jerk and we dont need you to point it out. Mike, I hope there is a chance you see this. Happy Memorial day and enjoy 5 cheeseburgers, on Philips & Beltran of course

somebody put shackles on Burkhardt

David Wright..the other white meat

Pelfrey 5 Santos 2 Sheffield 2 Putz 1

No...and you have magadanbattingleadoff and playing first base. You are a lucky charm

I believe Mr. Santos is the leading candidate or NL ROY..Fowler has washed out It would help us all if I am close to correct Sincerely Ashie62

="OlerudOwned":bxj0akhg]I'm OlerudOwned, and earlier today I said that Omir Santos sucks. My father was talking about how he liked the dude, how he wasn't great by any stretch but seemed to have a knack for clutch hits. The TV had posted his line at the same moment, his average barely below his on-base, and both figures well below .300. I chuckled it off. "Feh, he kind of sucks." Hey, I mean. He's a fastball hitter who had the presence of mind to guess fastball, and he got all of it. He still has no track record behind him, and he's still OPSing something rank. But today, Omir Santos won us a goddamned baseball game. Today, I am a jerkface.[/quote:bxj0akhg] Don't feel bad I was basically deemed a jerkace for mentioning him as an ROY candidtate which he is. Just for today I am not a jerkface..but its' early Rockin' Doc May 24 2009 11:21 AM I apologize to and sincerely thank Ramon Martinez for his fine game last night. I was wrong to say he had no business playing at the major league level. Thankfully, lastnight he proved me wrong. Still, I anxiously await the return of either Jose Reyes or Alex Cora, but I thank Ramon Martinez for his service in this emergency fill in role.

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). Hoy, soy un grande, gordo jerkface. Centerfield May 27 2009 10:57 AM Brown Grimace. Fantastic. Elster88 May 27 2009 08:10 PM I'm sorry Ramon. You're not useless as a human being.

Swan Swan H May 27 2009 08:33 PM Thank goodness Joe McEwing never turned good and Edgy didn't make me do this for him back in 2004. 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.

="Kong76"]From USATODAY: New York vs. Boston New York Mets (23-19) at Boston Red Sox (25-18), 1:35 p.m. (Sports Network) - The New York Mets try to complete a three-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox this afternoon, as the three-game interleague set comes to a close at Fenway Park. After riding Johan Santana to a win in the opener, the Mets needed some late-inning heroics on Saturday, as Omir Santos hit a video- reviewed two-run homer in the top of the ninth, and New York turned two spectacular defensive plays in the bottom of the frame to pull out a 3-2 win. Gary Sheffield also drove in a run for the Mets, who on Friday overcame three errors to pick up a 5-3 victory. Josh Beckett threw eight strong innings and Kevin Youkilis hit a two-run single in the first to provide Boston with a 2-1 lead, but Jonathan Papelbon (0-1) suffered his first blown save of the year. Sheffield walked to start the ninth, but Papelbon fanned David Wright and Jeremy Reed. Santos then clubbed a ball that hit above the line just beyond the Green Monster. It bounced off the padding, just in front of the first row of seats and back onto the field. Sheffield started trotting around second, but picked up his speed when umpires signaled the ball was in play. Umpires then conferenced and went to the video replay before deciding to overturn the original call, giving the Mets the lead on Santos' second career homer. "Cut and dry. We looked at the replay and the ball hit that back," said umpire crew chief Joe West. "It cleared the red metal piece and hit the back piece which is a home run, which is the ground rule here. "Looking up in the lights, looking up like he had to, the third base umpire, Paul Nauert, made his best effort and felt in the best interest of the play, to keep it in play because we can always change it to a home run. But if he had called it a home run and it wasn't a home run, where the hell do we put the runners? So, I mean, we got together as a crew and got the play right, and that was it." There were more dramatics in the bottom of the ninth. J.J. Putz walked Kevin Youkilis, and Jason Bay then hit a screaming bouncer down the third-base line. Wright, playing close to the line, made a great stop, but his throw to second baseman Luis Castillo was wide. Castillo somehow managed to keep his foot on the bag as he stretched to get the ball for the force out. J.D. Drew then flied out to right, setting the stage for Mike Lowell, who hit a sharp grounder in the hole between short and third. Shortstop Ramon Martinez made a diving stop though and his one-hopper across the diamond retired Lowell, who threw his helmet to the field in disgust. Even though the Mets won, their closer, Francisco Rodriguez, wasn't available for the game due to back spasms. Reports indicate he collapsed in pain after the game and required medical attention. Rodriguez suffered the injury during pregame warmups. "He was in a tough position before we left out of here before the game," said Mets manager Jerry Manuel. "He couldn't walk. He was in bad shape. Spasms was the word that they used. How long spasms last, what is his history with that, I really don't know." With the loss, the Red Sox suffered their first home series defeat since April 7-9 against Tampa Bay. Mike Pelfrey fanned six batters over the first seven innings for the Mets, while Pedro Feliciano (1-1) pitched the eighth inning to get the win. Putz picked up his second save of the season. "It's a huge win for us," said Manuel. "That's huge, in the shape that we're in right now, especially. Frankie goes down right before the game with some serious back spasms, so he was unavailable. Didn't know that we might use him with the way it was set up with two outs in that situation. It was big for us. It was big for us." Beckett was charged with five hits and an unearned run. He also walked one and had five strikeouts. "I thought he was real good. I thought he was very persistent in executing his pitches. I thought he made a lot of pitches," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. Hoping to get the brooms out for the Mets today will be righty Tim Redding, who makes his second start of the season. Redding did not get a decision in his initial outing on Monday in Los Angeles, despite allowing just two runs and two hits in six innings of a 3-2 loss. Redding has lost both of his starts to the Red Sox, surrendering 12 runs in 5 2/3 innings of those outings. Boston, meanwhile, will pin its hopes on veteran knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, who is 5-2 with a 3.59 ERA. Wakefield was terrific in beating the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, as he gave up just a run and five hits in eight innings. Wakefield has been especially good at home, where he is a perfect 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA in three starts. The 42-year-old righty has faced the Mets seven times (six starts) over the course of his lengthy career and is 2-3 with a 2.43 ERA against them. However, he hasn't faced them since 2001 and hasn't beaten them since 1992. Boston, which was 11-7 in interleague play last season with wins in six of the nine games contested at Fenway, had swept the Mets in a three-game set the last time these teams faced off in 2006. New York was 9-6 against the AL a year ago. You beat me to it** I'm 3-0 including last night doing this lol

It almost reads like a prank

Murphy ......... 1B Pagan ........... RF Beltran .......... maybe CF, if not, then DH Sheffield ........ LF Wright ........... DH if Beltran in CF; otherwise 3B Tatis/Reed ..... 3B/CF (Tatis gets nod if Beltran in CF) Santos .......... C Martinez ........ SS Castillo .......... 2B Pelfrey ...........

YS3 now on pace for 332 HR's...or the wiffle ball count in the backyard over any given weekend. The Met fan Yankee hate should have no bearing on where you live. At least not in Morris Couny Bumfuck NJ

Great win.. loved Jermy Reed tonight..What ballsy catch and wall smash..Sounded like WWE

="Edgy DC":1rdap8d6]Alex Cintr�n will be in uniform tonight. So I predict.[/quote:1rdap8d6] I believe you are correct As far as Putz, healthy or not as I posted previously I believe Parnell has earned the 8th inning temporarily permanent Ceetar May 23 2009 10:23 AM I'm okay with the Reyes one, because any extra days of Reyes is worth it. And Delgado they thought they were going to have to do 3-4 days off regularly. Putz doesn't add a significant amount though. Especially considering 10 days would only actually be 4-5 innings anyway. ="Benjamin Grimm":2keqyn46]Well, they don't want to lose Reyes for two weeks if he'll only be injured for one. I understand the desire, but too often it turns out to be two weeks anyway. The move I'd make right now is to demote Martinez and promote someone who can field the shortstop position. I don't know if there's really reason to think that Reyes will or won't be able to play by Monday or Tuesday, so I can't say whether they're making the wrong move by not putting him on the DL. I guess we'll find out soon enough.[/quote:2keqyn46] Edgy DC May 23 2009 10:26 AM They have eight guys in the pen and are now playing an AL team. After using only two relievers last night, I've little doubt they can get through the next two days and re-assess, if necessary. smg58 May 23 2009 08:48 PM "Indefinitely" turned out not to be very long. Given that Rodriguez couldn't have gone, that's a relief.
