="soupcan"]="duan"]want a conspiracy theory? Mets, knowing that Wagner's either going to explode or be perpetually teetering decide to see if they can force the issue. If he gets through and is ok - wah hey - we got ourselves a primo reliever down the stretch and in the playoffs - he goes down, he's out for a season and we get to cash in the insurance we took out and can spend that on someone else in the off season. Course I've no idea if they've got the contract insured but ya want a conspiracy theory i've given you one. Today's New York Times... ]INSIDE PITCH ... The Mets� insurance policy does not cover Billy Wagner�s 2009 salary, meaning they are responsible for all $10.5 million. That makes it extraordinarily unlikely that they will pursue a high-priced closer like Francisco Rodr�guez of the Angels. Wagner had reconstructive elbow surgery Wednesday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. well, at least let me confirm that Billy Wagner was the man walking away from the Grassy Knoll.

oh nice!
-
Mike Pelfrey's got a little more driveable last two games.
-
i've tamed my avatar a little.
-
yup.
-
and the phillies go down 1,2,3 in the ninth!
-
and Jimmy Rollins isn't so fucking good going back after a flare and lets another run score. 7-3 bottom of the ninth. Charlie Manuel totally over managed in that inning making 2 pitching changes neither of which worked out.
-
Marlins score 2! Dan Uggla doubles in 2 runs.
-
and Matsui strikes out to end the game.
-
against angels i mean.
-
in other news yankees are trying to stay alive against fish with 2 on with 2 out in the top of the 9th down by two runs.
-
fair enough!
-
by the way it seems like the fan got escorted away by police - that's a bit harsh isn't it?
-
phillies issue two walks to then load bases to bring up our good buddy Paul LaDuca who grounds into inning ending double play.
-
*grrrrrr* ground rule double down the line scores only one run. cause of Fan interference. dirty philidelphians saving their team a run.
-
runners at the corners with one out for the fish in the eight.
-
that would require us catching the cubs though; and i'd rather not have to face sabathia and sheets in a five game series.
-
what I spotted from that site linked to in the elimination thread is that "it's out of their hands!" even IF they win every remaining game, they need others to falter. Now they're not 100% out of it yet but BY jesus it's almost over.

Hit 10 home runs in his first 70 Major League at-bats

I refuse to think anywhere with signature lines of women in (a very small amount) of underwear is worth of any time.

="Benjamin Grimm"]Oh. So I guess you were right after all! I'm unimpressed THAT NOBODY picked up my hilarious gag about the image rights etc.

Postseason Odds from Baseball Prospectus
duan replied to Benjamin Grimm's topic in New York Mets Talk
what is interesting is that those odds one month ago correctly interpreted the Marlins as having a false position vs the Mets. -
wowzers, lotsa similar predictions there. we all seem to think ryan braun is pretty good too.
