    The Yankees lose! Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankees lose! That was a lot of fun. Bugs notwithstanding.

    You know? I really enjoy watching Joe Torre. He's such a cartoon character. I want to be able to have Joe Torre p-in-p at all times. Infield fly, two out. Nuts.

    Baaaaaases loaded and one out in the bottom of the eleventh for the unfortunately named Asdrubal Cabrera.

    This really is one heckuva game.

    Dude, this is totally gross. You're telling me the umpires can't call a bug delay to bomb the place? Eeeew.

    I'm pretty sure Willie meant to say "Because he sucks."

    Finally, Topps has answered the call of Mets fans everywhere and produced a Rick Peterson card. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/cdorso/scan0004.jpghttp://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/cdorso/scan0006.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/cdorso/scan0005.jpghttp://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/cdorso/scan0003.jpg The Peterson -- and the other coaches (there's a Jerry Manuel too) are included in a new 55-card box set (available for $19.99 at your local baseball card shop). Not a bad idea; I do wish we had a better season to commemorate, but whatever. Picked this baby up a few weeks ago for fifteen bucks: There's something so wrong about a Tom Seaver Red Sox autograph, but hey, for fifteen bucks, I have a Seaver auto in my collection. Picked this one up for less than five bucks also: Not that you need to have a Brian Cole auto, but he is dead and all, so it's an interesting historical footnote. Besides, didn't the Mets name some sort of minor league award after him?

    What's funny is that management -- and fans -- in Rochester HATED HATED HATED the Orioles for doing basically the same things these guys are saying the Mets did.

    Teixeira's signed through '08.

    Angels. I'd rather stab myself in the eye than sit through more Yanks-Sox bullshit.

    Cubs, I s'pose, for no particular reason. Maybe I'll root for Cliffy.

    Eddie C said roughly the same thing during M&MD yesterday.

He's good enough to be available as a pinch-hitter, or if we convert him into a long reliever, we don't have to pinch-hit for him. That's valuable. Because I want my season to hinge on at-bats from a long reliever. This is the same argument as "I wanted Mike Hampton back because he could hit." Thankfully, it's really in baseball's best interest to have every team in the major leagues just dump their cheap, major-league ready young players to the Mets and for them to also take on all our onerous contracts. I'm so glad they tweaked the rules to allow Omar to make trades like he's playing computer baseball, with no regard to reality.

    We should pick some random player on the UMDB and just blast the hell out of him, giving him hundreds of hits a day.
  16. seawolf17
    ?!?! I see you as drunk at 3:30 in the afternoon on a Monday. Why would a second-division team like the Pirates or the Devil Rays want a highly-paid lefty specialist? If by "prospect" you mean "bloated veteran contract," maybe you're right.
  17. seawolf17
    What the heck are you going to do with Schoeneweis? Dude's under contract for two more years. Get used to him. I'm over him, and I'm looking forward to having him back.
  18. seawolf17
    Yeah, but if we can just blame the whole thing on one guy, then we can shut the hell up about this "Trade Jose" crap. And since nobody likes Mota, and he sucks, why not him?

    RUN!

    I don't blame Glavine for losing the division. He's just part of the big picture. And I hoped for good things yesterday, but I certainly didn't go into the game thinking, "All right! Tommy's going today! We're gonna lock this thing up!"
  22. seawolf17
    Gone, gone, gone. See ya, fellas. They might keep Conti around for Pedro, but I don't like the idea one bit. This isn't Pedro's team.

    At the end of August, the Mets had a seven-game lead over the Phillies. They then beat us seven times. Face it, folks, they kicked our asses. Hard. Credit them for getting the job done and winning the division. Take those seven games out of the equation, and they were only one game better than us at the end; and ultimately, that's all that matters. Our guys could have won more games? Well, so could their guys have, and then this weekend would have been a moot point. They lost two out of three in Florida, and two out of three in Atlanta, and split a four-game set with Colorado. They lost games too. That said, I hate Rollins, and Burrell, and Utley, and Myers, and Hamels, and the rest of those jagoffs. I hope they get swept. (I do like Ryan Howard, though.) You want a rivalry? You got one.

    Do we really need an excuse for Steve to post more song lyrics?
  25. seawolf17
    Has anyone ever really felt comfortable with Glavine in a big spot? I know I haven't, in all his years here. I've never once said "Oh, it's okay, because Glavine's pitching tonight." There's always been that underlying unease for me.
