    ="Frayed Knot"]The only guy who suxx worse than Randy Johnson is Matt Clement -- Good Lord he was awful. Unit tried real hard to lose this game but Clement would have no of it. Staked to a lead with another several Manny HRs + one from Youkilis, he proceeded to start walking the likes of Terrance Long, hitting Kelly Stinnett w/the bags loaded, and throwing wild pitches every batter or so just to keep everyone from getting bored. At one point they showed the career active leaders in WPs; all old guys (not surprisingly: Johnson, Wells, etc) plus Matt Frickin Clement who has about 1/3 the # of innings pitched as those other guys. He didn't survive the 5th. Also doesn't help that the Sox ran themselves out of at least 2 runs and ... lost by 2 runs! Papi 0-5 w/4 Ks. I wonder if the Yanx have the pitching to get into the playoffs. And Pavano doesn't appear to be helping them any time soon.

    Floyd a bullet...one hop to the fence...held to a single.

LoDuca's thrown out 20% of all would be stealers this year--that's 7 out of 35. Not as bad as I thought. When the hell did he throw out 7 guys?

    A ripped line drive to Kazuo, Vittorino doubled off second. Let's hope this keeps happening. Hit the shots at someone.

    As much as some would like to believe that only the Mets wanted Kaz, there were other teams that wanted him to, and one former Met manager gave him a huge endorsement. Maybe scouting ballplayers is completely a guessing game.

Not an accurate quote. "I feel like such a useless tool," Mets GM Omar Minaya confessed at a press conference today, weeping uncontrollably into his hands. "I urinated away a quality rotation just to feed my ego and to cram the roster with mediocre Hispanic hacks... ...and to get that annoying loudmouth with the huge titties out of town."

Please don't upset 88 All I'm doing is critiquing their broadcast. You're the one who's getting upset because I'm giving half-compliments. If you take the time to read (and comprehend, which may be beyond your ability) before you post, you might actually see the post where I agree with this exact comment by ABNS. I'm not upset. I think having these two tools do the game is making harder for me to enjoy the game. But I am enjoying making fun of them. At the end of the day, whether they do a good or bad job with the broadcast, a convincing argument can be made that they are tools.

    Lo Duca bunt base hit?!?!? Genius.

    Jose Reyes, power hitter.

Because I'm saying they have the ability (if not the voices) to do a broadcast? What day did you call their show and get hung up on? Edit: I'm David Cone. I loved him back in the day. I'm proud to have his autograph.

    Single up the middle. Floyd had to wait to see if it got through. First and third, no out. Let's go Kaz.

You know they might not be half bad if Mad Dog didn't sound like a cat stuck in a gutter. But he does. The point being that they at least (so far) have the ability to do get the words out.
