I just read that Beckett left last nights game with a cut on one of his pitching finger. Great. [sc=lots]

Ha!

Sorry--saw this after I posted that Milledge thread (and I was reading before posting so dont even go there). I would have thought Milledge going down would be a threadworthy event. You can delete that thread, powers that be.

="CBSsportsline"]Mets option Milledge The New York Mets optioned outfielder Lastings Milledge to their Triple-A Norfolk farm club Thursday night. Milledge, considered the Mets' top position prospect, batted .239 with four homers and 18 RBIs during two stints with New York. He was squeezed out of playing time when the Mets acquired right fielder Shawn Green on Tuesday. He�ll be back on Sept. 1. Interesting move.

="ScarletKnight41"]ESPN surprised me pleasantly. #3 was David Wright's catch in San Diego #2 was Agee's WS catch #1 was Swoboda's WS catch #3 #2[they showed both! ]. #1 Hey-post any pics of great Met catches in this thread-- I collect em!

Good hitting outfielders are really hard to find. A couple of weeks ago I looked at the rosters to see if anybody would conceivably take Jose Valentin for an OF with a better bat, and came up with no good ideas. Im about to just give up on the saves dept. Maybe just focus on my ERA & WHIP-try to get that down again. When i did that mid season it got me a climb into 1st place, where i stayed for about 5 minutes(lol). Pitchers like Beckett are killin me tho. Thats why I moved Willis- I really think he'll have a nice Sept and wanted to keep him for that, but I cant carry both anymore---1st half Willis drove me crazy-more recently Beckett.(pitched well tonight tho-[to that manager I offered Beckett to--I nixed that deal because SS Crosby, who I also offered, is injured with a bad back and is questionable].) I like my outfield as is, esp this new guy on the Asstros, Scott, but Id just love getting another decent OF and use Soriano at second base. That would be ideal. And the Bay/Willis/Kotsay for Soriano deal. I have/had Bay in both my leagues, and when he gets hot, he goes on tears. And of course, since the trade was finalized hes been going on a tear--lol. He even finally stole a freakin base tonight(hadnt since Aug 3rd). On the whole Im disappointed with him this season tho. I can only hope Soriano has the Sept Im looking for.

I saw both these highlights just now and Ive never ever seen anything like both of em in all my years watching the game. In the Grady thing--that ump deeked him! Walks him back to the mound and waves all is fair. Pads manager Bochy, very heads up, has to inform the ump of the rules (which I really dont think were meant to be applied to a situation like that). That was wack. And I never knew it was literally the mound-I thought it was when the manager crossed the baseline to the field. That whole thing was just rediculous. The Casey thing---they are still searching back in the boxscores to see when (and if ever) that happend last. In the CBSsportsline play by play its listed as this:"Casey grounds out to left",lol. And if you see the clip--Ive never seen a guy run quite as bad and as slow as him--he looked like he was running in place-his arms moving like a chicken. He'll never live that play down.

Mota mows em down--game ovah!

Ha--u see Preston Wilson stare down Mota after he K'd.....wassupwidat? Sit icehole--your out.

BIG RBI single by Reyes. Valentin chugs home. I thought that was hit too hard to score him, but he scores easily. 6-2

Shawn Green will lead off the 8th. I do like his swing---smooth.

Omar and the Cards GM havin a lil pow-wow up in his box--mmm, interesting. RHernandez with a great relief job bailing out Williams in the 7th.

Still looking for a closer. Ill also deal rookie 1B/2Bman Kendrick for the right outfielder. 5 days till the deadline.

LMAO--just to let you know I got a real laugh out of that^. In case you missed it when it was posted as a kaboom:

LoDuca tags off a deep drive to right by Wright. Wrights power level is down. He got as much as he could of that pitch..... Green with his 1st Met hit and RBI as Beltran scores on his line single to left. 3-0 Metropolitans

Preston gives up a triple to LoDuca---u see those lil stubby legs truckin around the bases? lol. Reyes scores. 1-0

thank you Preston Wilson!
