Rollover? - No. Currently suck? - Yes And while the Yanx are playing those teams the Rays & O's will be playing each other. And, no, none of that is a guarantee, but it is an advantage. right, I'm just saying that it's possible those teams won't have mailed it in already. sure, they play each other which bodes well for making the playoffs, but it also means one of them will win, which puts the pressure on for the division.

    In the 'hope they miss the playoffs' bit, Oakland may soon go ahead of the AL East for first WC spot. I keep hearing the strength of schedule argument for the Yankees. Remind them that the 2007 Mets had the soft Marlins and Nats to finish off with. The Twins have long been beat upon by the Yankees, just two years ago eliminated in the playoffs. They're gonna just roll over for them? The Red Sox are?

I believe it's now and all you can eat/drink seating area. (the entrance is just up the elevators from the rotunda) the seats themselves are behind home plate on the field level (so above those Delta patios and whatnot)

I remember reading, or being told - I forget now, that the best way to run the bases was to hit each with your inside (left) foot. It seems, on the surface anyway, to be counter-intuitive but the claim is that that method best allows you to "cut" the bases (run a tighter circle) and therefore get to the next one quicker. Not that I'm claiming that's what Torres was doing there; he was clearly looking at the RF and decided to go when he saw that tiny mis-step as the fielder tried to change his momentum. Problem was that that long look took his sight off of his feet and he stutter-stepped his way to a missed (or not) bag. to me it looked like he stutter-stepped in order to step on the base in that manner. He probably meant to hit more than just the tiny corner of it, but that's irrelevant to the fact that he did step on the bag and did nothing wrong.

    and the United State's first supreme court justice does the same in the bottom of the first with a double Duda'd into a triple .

    Murphy breaks up the no-hitter with 1 out in the first.

    Familia and Fred Lewis are here to get us to 940.

    Rooting for the Phils to beat Cueto and Reds can be copied to the R.A. Dickey thread as well.

    smg58 wrote: I do think the Mets have to be realistic about their chances of extending Wright and Dickey. One way or the other, you don't want to repeat the situation with Reyes where he just played out the string and left. true, but what one person does doesn't dictate what another person does either. This is actually a little different in that Alderson had been here 10 minutes when he picked up Reyes' option and he wasn't coming off a crazy year. Whatever the feelings of R.A. and David, they have to know they're having what might very well be career years, and a minor step down next year (or worse) could cost them the extra millions they'd get by playing the market against each other. In other words, re-upping with the Mets now from their viewpoint is probably locking in at 90%.

    hard to see. That team is extremely flawed. of course, all it takes is some pitchers getting hot. for anyone.
  15. Ceetar
    wonder what was going through Torres' head when he was waved home. He saw the grounder headed for Ruggiano as he probably has a thousand times in that situation so I wonder what crazy scenario he was thinking happened behind him.

    Grain of salt because it was a Francesa question, but Collins said he'd consider using him in relief in a key spot the last week if he could get him a relief win somehow.

They have retired one player number. right. you don't think the other two's long legacy before the Mets had anything to do with retiring them?

    They gave up the perfect opportunity to keep 24 going after Rickey left. Just keep issuing it..
