  1. Nah their bullpen is straight.
  2. Breaking news on SNY: San Francisco Chronicle reporting a Benitez trade.
  3. 85 pitches
  4. Just for kicks, SNY shows a skinny Barry Bonds hitting a homer to center off a sexy Ronnie Darling. "Oh my god, there are men on". and "he was hitting leadoff at the time. Not a lot of leadoff hitters hit home runs to center at the time. Needless to say it got my attention" from Darling. He's good in the booth. I like.
  5. We're gonna need another Petey. I mean another outfielder.
  6. It once amazed me...how many M&MD haters never miss a show. I'm used to it now.

  8. Is it all anecdotal, or does every converted first baseman end up hurting someone/himself because he doesn't know how to cover the bag?
  9. For the love of God what happened to Carlos?
  10. Sosa 2.75 Wright 1.5 Easley 1.5 Reyes 1.25 Beltran 1 Delgado 0.75 Smith 0.75 Feliciano 0.25
  11. I'll put it here too: I think he's 5 for 15 pinch hitting now, including a 2-out, game-tying single in the ninth at Washington. Again, just sayin.
  12. I started the Julio Franco thread to rip him. I think he's 5 for 15 pinch hitting now, including a game tying single in the ninth at Washington. Again, just sayin.
  13. Olerud probably didn't get enough AB's. Keef?
  14. I don't believe you.
  15. Yancy Street Gang wrote: If he's their third best outfielder he should play every day. And if he's not, he shouldn't. And if Alou returns and plays like a 40-year-old, then Endy might very well be their third best outfielder. I think you're taking the whole concept of an "everday player" a lot more literally than I meant it. And I think you realize that too. Am I wrong?
  16. Yancy Street Gang wrote: Well, I don't know about playing Endy AND Gomez every day, but if you're getting power from your other two outfield spots, I think it's worth considering. Mookie Wilson was an everyday player, and he didn't have much power either. I think given the age of Alou and Green, Endy will get plenty of starts in the outfield this year. He'll find his playing time. I just don't think it's fair to simply dismiss him as "not an everyday player." It's fair to dismiss him as an everyday player if there's been no evidence of it in his career. I'm not going to accept him on your word any more than you will dismiss him on mine. But do I really need to make the case against his playing everyday? He's basically a fourth outfielder and I would've thought most people would think the same. And I like Endy
  17. Endy is not an everyday player
  18. Lo Duca batting .329 after 4 for 5 Hernandez ERA 2.13 after 6 shutout innings.
  19. Damn some dude ate Miguel Cabrera and stole his uniform. Wagner giving up a run in a 6-1 game doesn't bother me.
  20. Martinez noticed that many of the Mets had very little hair, the result of a widespread shaving spree. "I see a lot of shaved heads," he joked to a teammate. "I'm glad I'm away from here."
  21. Are you serious? I mean, did you watch that Weaver clip? I'm glad we don't have a manager who gets in playground fights with the umpire. ("You touched me" "No I didn't" "You put your finger on my chest" "No I didn't") OTOH, I see your point about getting in an ump's head and getting a call the next time. And it DID work in the Washington game, as we got the make-up call in the ninth enabling us to tie the game. But I don't necessarily see that tactic working on an ump like Angel Hernandez. And in the end he did win 97 games last year, and I'm glad he doesn't act like a fucking buffoon out there like Pinella. (I love Bobby V, but more for the moments when he snuck back in with the glasses than the line-stomping incident)
