then again, what if it pops up sixty seconds before the game starts
and only one of us enters?
REFRESH! REFRESH! REFRESH!
Female announcer: Captain Oveur, white courtesy phone. Captain Clarence Oveur, white courtesy phone.
Female announcer: [Oveur picks up the red phone] No, the white phone.
Female announcer: Captain Oveur, white courtesy phone. Captain Clarence Oveur, white courtesy phone.
Captain Oveur: [to announcer] I GOT IT!

About the poll question:
It’s gotta be Dunn. I like him more, and committing 10 years to anyone is nuts. Dunn gives you 40 HR, 100 BB, and 100 runs every year.
Fight J-Roll the A-Holl!
judging by what the reds asked for a cocaine addict who was suspended multiple times
i’m guessing not
Meh, said cocaine addict isn't having a bad year, either
The SI story about Josh Hamilton is great.
Fight J-Roll the A-Holl!
indeed he's having a good year (on my fantasy team--yay)
but for his reputation, etc. they asked a lot. so i imagine dunn will not come cheap via the trade.
.308 SLG
I don’t care what else he does, Joe. Pierre sucks. AAAND he is most certainly a free swinger.
Flushing, Queens: soon to be known as Johan's-burg!!!
looking good so far
I’m going to ignore the seeing-eye double and the broken bat single and focus on the 2 Ks.
Let’s hope the bats showed up tonight. Nice to have Church back.

Wright's bloop hit
makes up for the Dodgers’ cheap RBI hit. We’re even now.
Flushing, Queens: soon to be known as Johan's-burg!!!
that doesn't look safe
also, Reyes is quite fast
bullshit
Loney didn’t have control of it until after Beltran hit the bag.
Flushing, Queens: soon to be known as Johan's-burg!!!
i think beltran was safe
loney didn’t have full control until after beltran hit the bag
Oh, you guys already covered it. good.
people say the NBA officiating is bad
and they’re right. But MLB ain’t far behind. Funny that elderly men make up so much of the ranks of this most important decision making population. They can’t drive or control their bladders, but they’re perfect for this job.
I.M. Forme
It seems to me
that younger officials are concerned with actually making the right call, and then develop their own “style” over the years. Officiating shouldn’t have different styles; it should be based on the sport’s rulebook.
Fight J-Roll the A-Holl!
i just think they lose the ability
to run and have sharp visual acuity. I think personality they should retire these guys after 20 years.
fitness
Soccer refs usually are pretty in shape and on top of it. If the flopping weren’t so constant, they’d be doing a good job.
I’m scared for the football refs. One of those oldtimers is gonna get bulldozed and die and “nobody” will have seen it coming.
i am struck by how bad the officiating is in the NBA
mostly because NBA rules on fouls lend themselves to totally subjective almost random enforcement.
At least MLB rules are solid, and now the umps don’t have to deal with sorting out big league justice (knock down pitches etc) because there is none with these pampered rich guys, so they have even less to do.

Delwyn Young
a good complement to Delmon Young

joe morgan has never "read" research on concussions
i’d bet my nads
He has HAD concussions though apparently
I.M. Forme
Most of the research he's read says "Don't play"
However, Sanjay Gupta says, “Play if you want to. It’s not a big deal.”
Fight J-Roll the A-Holl!
the camera or the interviewer, David
Don’t keep darting your eyes back and forth. It’s unsettling.
Also, Reyes is God.
Flushing, Queens: soon to be known as Johan's-burg!!!
Reminds me of Ricky Bobby
“I don’t know where to put my hands.”
“Just keep them down.”
Fight J-Roll the A-Holl!
yes in fact i propose a whole new stable of mets coaches to liven up this club...
Jose Valentin-personal grooming
Ventura-Awesomeness consultant
Piazza-Press conferences czar
J Manuel-getting thrown out for Willie coach
Don Zimmer—Pedro’s personal assistant
I.M. Forme
Turk Wendell
fashion consultant

Beltran roolz!!!!
Getting hot, finally? If Reyes and Beltran catch fire together, the offense if going to get really good really quickly.
Flushing, Queens: soon to be known as Johan's-burg!!!
what?
On what planet is Ryan Church a “throw-in” in a Schneider-Milledge trade?
Flushing, Queens: soon to be known as Johan's-burg!!!
planet Jon Miller, actually
Also, on my planet, trading Milledge straight-up for Schneider would be grounds for executing the GM by firing squad

torre might have been snoozing
the wheels came off a few batters ago
I'd rather pitch to Chavez, actually
Johan can hit, Endy can’t.

"Pick your poison" sign guy
has been waiting a looooooong time to use that sign. 2 years or so.
I.M. Forme
all kidding aside
the Mets do need to get more from their pitchers’ ABs. Pelfrey and Maine are like, what, 2-for-40 this year, that’s not acceptable. You should get these jokers closer to .150 and on the right side of .100 at least.
Nice inning though wheeeeeeew
Russel Martin a catcher in the mold of Piazza
Late round draft pick, offensive power, gay beard. Unless you count defense.
I.M. Forme
and will eventually become a Mets hero?
Here’s hoping. Wait for Martin to get traded to Florida, as that’s apparently the route through which the Mets get Dodgers catchers.

CHURCH THE FANTASY
MAN, WHAT A BONEHEADED MOVE. I LET GO OF CHURCH IN MY FANTASY LEAGUE AFTER HIS CONCUSSION.
IF NOT FOR THIS GUY, THE METS WOULD BE IN WORSE SHAPE THAN THEY ARE CURRENTLY IN. HE’S BEEN QUIETLY PRODUCING. GOOD FOR HIM.
ALL WE NEED IS FOR EVERYONE TO PAY LIKE THEY ARE CAPABLE AND WE CAN DO THIS ALL YEAR LONG.

WHOOPS...MEANT TO SAY "PLAY" LIKE THEY ARE CAPABLE. THEIR ALREADY GETTING PAID.

Show's been great this year
Seriously, he’s been lights out.

maybe he's actually good
and last year’s problems were just because (a) he was hurt and (b) Willie mis-used him
The 2008 Schoenweis
A third of the way through 2008, Scott has indeed been very good this year. I guess I have to move on, but I think I’m still steamed about 2007.
Morganism of the night
a lot of the paid attendence tonight at Shea is “to see Joe Torre”
I.M. Forme
here for Joe Torre?
Uh….no. I think Joe Torre, former Mets player and manager ranks about #347 in popularity in Mets history, somewhere between Ron Gardenhire and Eric Valent.

indians 6 games below .500
and we thought the mets were disappointing so far this year. eek.
