    That's a good one, Zvon.

    I keep waiting for Nady to come back to Earth. I thought it started the past two games.
  3. Elster88
    That was a bomb!!! Over the bleachers. Somebody lost a windshield. That slow shit worked on everyone else up until then. Nady waited for a fastball on the plate. About knee high and on the inside part of the plate.

    If the fans keep cheering Beltran, I think he'll forget about the booing eventually. Just like how the crowds won over Maximus in Gladiator. Just once I want to hit a bomb and have 55,065 people jump to their feet and cheer me. That's why I'm jealous of ballplayers. That and the million dollar salaries and willing groupies.

    Gary: 2,361st strikeout moves Glavine into sole possession of 28th place all time, passing Charlie Hough. Who was that? It was the first out of the second.

    ]Great country song, I was racking my brain wondering what song you were talking about. That's why I didn't know it. I'm not into country.

    A huge roar when he made contact, even though it was obvious it was a pop fly to the outfield. "The Met fans came to make noise tonight"

    It sounds like they're chanting for Beltran, but I can't make it out.

    Gary says the crowd is loud today. Good job by the Met fans, on a cold rainy Friday night.

    That's fair enough. Met fans have been burned enough in the past four years. It may even be what's affecting Willie. Maybe he feels that putting Kaz back in the lineup is the Met equivalent of the clock striking 12 in Cinderella. But I'll still keep arguing against it.

    They used to have a copy of Lazy Sunday over at www.youtube.com, but NBC gave them a cease and desist order.

    ]] Even when what the manager thinks is wrong? Or is whatever he thinks automatically correct? no, i mean i dont care how he manages the media, right or wrong, i dont care if he smoothes over his relationship with the media. i do care that he is right, but i dont care if he convinces WFAN if he is, or if he even makes an effort. I feel the same way, but I think he's in for a lot of headaches if he keeps getting snippy with the media.

    Not funny at all, I only quoted the part of your post that I was addressing at that particular point. If you'll comprehend what you're reading, you'll see that I also dealt with the other part of your post by saying this: All of Hernandez's attributes (what you refer to as hitting in the minors, defense, and comfortable pitchers) are not worth keeping a .185 hitter in a starting role in the majors either. If you think hitting in the minors, defense, and comfortable pitchers is worth keeping his bat in the lineup, then I guess he is your ideal starting second baseman. It's actually not worth it. If you'll notice, I said Andy's bat will decide if he should keep starting or not. It's all on him, not on some imagined love-affair with Kaz. Let him show he can hit. How hard is this? Am I really not giving the guy a fair shake because I'm asking him to hit at a major league level? __________________ I'd still like to know where you thought I said "benched all-star that got into his manager's doghouse". EDIT: grammar
  14. Elster88
    So the phrase "highly paid player" sounds like "benched all-star that got into his manager's doghouse"? My hearing must be going, too. ]4 game hitting streak should get a chance to sink or swim for awhile... 4 hits on the season including an infield chopper and a bunt single. _____________________ I'm not in love with Kaz, as I've said in about 8 million other places. But by the time he gets back to the team, we'll probably have seen a month of Hernandez. If Andy's still hitting under .200 at that point, I think he sank. It's amazing how much the hatred of Kaz results in love for a replacement who is playing at a poorer rate than he is. At this point, Andy is the perfect backup second baseman/shortstop. Kaz is not the perfect starter, but at this point he's a better choice than Andy. Of course this is subject to change based on Andy's bat. Why is it so hard for people to realize this? Or do you really think his glove is worth keeping his bat in the lineup?

    ]i think "i know my team best" is a good response. i would actually like it even better if he threw in a fun insult. who cares. i am fan of baseball, not public relations. Even when what the manager thinks is wrong? Or is whatever he thinks automatically correct?
  16. Elster88
    Most of the radio call-in would-be geniuses are terrified that Matsui will get back into the lineup when he returns. I wonder how many of them also called in the late 90's to say that Rey Ordonez's glove did not justify keeping his bat in the lineup.

    "Certain people"?

    ]rooting your guy on is pathetic? Chanting MVP in April is pathetic. I thought I made that clear.

    Those poor reporters. With no Steinbrenner soundbites they might have to find actual news to report.

    Geez. If someone had asked a trivia question I would've gone with a year from the seventies.

    ]After winning the division in 1997, Whaaaat? Is my memory that poor?
  25. Elster88
    He doesn't actually use the phrase "stereoptypical Latino ballplayer", just makes a lot of comments along the lines "Latinos do this" or "Latinos play like that". Again, the quoted text is not actual quotes. Like I said though, I doubt there were complaints about it. Just sticks in my mind when I hear it because of this PC-crazed world that we live in.
