  1. Add Julian Casablancas, leader of The Strokes, to the list? http://www.gigwise.com/news/57852/The-Strokes-Julian-Casablancas-Wants-To-Write-New-York-Mets-Theme
  2. Fine, we'll throw in Ollie and they can include Brandon Arroyo.
  3. John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Jerry's apparently been convinced that his scoreless inning tonight has proven beyond any doubt that Takahashi should get any and all 8th inning assignments from this point forward, with a lead or without, with days off or not, until he falters at which point he'll join Oliver Perez on the Island of Misfit Toys and Jeff Francouer will be installed as the New 8th inning Stopper. You know? Francoeur does have a helluva arm, and he already hits like a pitcher. I say go for it.
  4. The Reds don't need that kind of headache if they're in a playoff run. Omar, get whoever the Reds GM is these days and give them Castillo and Francoeur for Phillips and the cremated remains of Schottzie.
  5. I wish we could revive George Steinbrenner just long enough to trade him Beltran and Frankie for Curtis Granderson and a few prospects.
  6. Uh oh.

They'll get five out of six this week at home so we're all excited about going down to play the Braves and Phillies, at which point they'll lose five out of six again. Eff you, Mets. Eff you. Okay, so I was off by a little tiny bit. I don't know. I want desperately to give up, to enjoy the end of summer without the burden of another Mets disappointment. But I just can't. Ultimately, the fans of 29 teams go through this every year in some way eventually. Sure, it'd be nice for us to be part of that 30th group, but maybe this isn't the year. Or maybe, just maybe... it is. 16 games against the two teams we're chasing is enticing; and the players on the field are guys I want to root for. They've been on both sides of this kind of collapse before; why not this year? I'm still with you, fellas.
  8. I'll be there for the Thursday matinee with my old college roommate, his dad, and three of his five (soon to be six) kids. (The man is crazy.)

  10. Pagan looking like Todd Hundley out there.
  11. Not on your life, my Hindu friend. Dump Warthen and sign Pedro as a starter/coach.
  12. ??? http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/2010/08/06/2010-08-06_mets_singlea_team_savannah_sand_gnats_to_have_fan_light_stuntman_ted_batchelor_o.html
  13. I corresponded with Mr. Foss last time he posted. Seems like a very good guy.

Awful job by Tom McCarthy. It's an obvious mistake but he couldn't even admit it. Chris Wheeler knew it. "It looked like it went around the bag, and then landed fair!" Thereby defying the laws of physics. Come on, fellas.
  15. Eff UConn and Rutgers, SNY. You have a D-I program with SIX conference championships last year right here on Long Island, you know.

  17. Quick, Omar! Trade Frenchy tonight while he's hot!
  18. BTW - Gary noted that Brian McCann had 24 (now 25) ABs against Pedro Feliciano -- "That has to be as many as anyone has against Pedro." Sure enough, almost. Only Utley (37) and Howard (34) have more.
  19. SACRIFICE BUNTING IS FOR LOSERS! Can Jerry be fired midgame? Fuckin' hell.
  20. By career OPS: Wright .905 Beltran .855 Pagan .800 Reyes .768 Thole .765 Davis .761 Francoeur .734 Castillo .720 Dickey .491
  21. Tim Teufel, on the other hand, hasn't changed a bit. So it's not just a 1980s-Mets-middle-infielders thing.
  22. See if they can throw in Jason Michaels, for what it's worth. He might even have some on-field defensive value, despite the vague Phillie stink.
