I think I've read this article 25 times already this year.[url]http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/story/415048p-350762c.html[/url]

NY Times wrote: As Nady strode to the plate, Delgado whispered to Glavine that Nady would hit a home run. Nady clocked Torres's third pitch. It kept going and going, and landed 430 feet away, beyond the center-field fence. The television cameras flashed Delgado and Glavine, two cogs in the Mets' strong start, laughing in the dugout, laughing about another soon-to-be victory.

Cool I'll get to see that tomorrow.

That picture scares me for some reason. I feel like he's about to throw a BB at my head.

1 run in 13 innings from Petey and Tommy. Personally, I credit the reverse-jinx for the win. Good job, cooby, WP, and seawolf.

Part of the post that got deleted is the one soupy responded to. So it will still live on forever in quoted form.

]Kinda hard to feel bad for a guy like that. True.

Did they implement some new policy last year where the ushers aren't allowed to accept bribes to give you better seats? I've been doing that for twenty years with no problem, then last year I got the "I could lose my job" bullshit for the first time at Shea. The first time it happened I figured it was just that particular usher being a weenie, but then it happened at two other games too. Elster88 wrote: Saturday, May 6th against the Braves. 1:10 PM. I'm counting the hours. 26 hours, 15 minutes

Nomination: Cliff Floyd for the Tommy Agee memorial spot. He seems like more fun than Carlos, though he may not be as fleet of foot.

He also said something along the lines of "you can't understand how it feels until it happens to you". A comment like that also, especially if some fool "reporter" takes it out of context, comes off as whiny. But it really wasn't whiny and makes sense to me. I hope to never have tens of thousands of people booing the hell out of me. I also liked the point that he made that you have the highs aloing with the lows, when you do something good and everyone loves you. In '02 (I think it was his first year with the team), I was at a game where he was getting booed the entire time. Bottom of the ninth, he hits a three run homer to tie it. (I think it was three run anyway, maybe not.) Top of the tenth when he runs out to right, everyone in the seats out there stood up for him and was cheering. I was jealous of that, I still want to be a major league ballplayer. I agree with him, it's easier to handle the boos when you know you can get the cheers too. Problem is, if you're some poor bastard like Doug Sisk who has lost the ability to earn cheers, you're in for a rough year. Edit: As long as we're speaking about handsome men in other threads, I'm Lee Mazzilli.

]Tomorrow (1:10 pm): 66 degrees and mostly sunny. Perfect. I'll be there Saturday in the Loge in my Piazza T-shirt.

Johnny Dickshot wrote: Thanks for playing. I've looked up the stats and so far, Philly has scored 2 more runs in the same # of games. They also have an edge, though slight, in Team BA (262/252); OBP (334/319); SLG (426/419), but are behind considerably in BA w/RISP (275/247). Philly I think is the more dangerous O and, in a longwinded point I'm sure you couldn't see coming, a better assignment for Pedro than Maine. It's very close, regardless of our rotation. In our SOS threads, Philly probably deserves more credit than they are being given. Good thread.

Gary and Ronnie seemed to think that the Pirates will improve greatly as the season progresses. I think only KC has a shot at it this year.

Glavine

Glavine 5 Wright 2.5 Nady 2 Sanchez 0.5

Nymr83 wrote: nobody out bases loaded and we can't bring a run home? thats bad baseball. Yes.

I am surprised at the results of this poll. I voted hell no. Keep Clemens and Rocker off my team. And Clemens' offspring.

Anderson Hernandez = AAA?

Nymr83 wrote: You can't call me crazy unless you were there. It was cold. It was wet. It was windy. The game seemed to be in hand until the 9th. everyone was dejected and just wanted to go home. Delgado sent us home happy on what could have easily been a terrible night for all present. Voting with the heart. Hard to avoid on a night like that.

No member of the Mets has faced Maholm. Fourteen of the Pirates have faced Glavine -- a total of 167 at-bats.
