Nice
It took 4 pitches for my swag form to be killed.
Damn, that was close. But a nice start nonetheless.

nice.
One batter, one swag contest question failed. Still nice to see Reyes doing what he does best.
Ha, same here

I thought the game was at 7:05 (9:05 ET).
I went to do the swag at 6:05, and it was already closed. Damnit
Beltran
last 10 games 386 average 4 hr’s notice that his critics are nowhere to be found
ZaBlanc is in hiding
He will emerge as soon as Beltran takes an ofer.

Ignorance
I know some of y’all are slow. My beef is with his clutch hitting, not his overall numbers. Now, back to reality.
The 2008 NY Mets: Reyes singles. Castillo infield single. Wright walks. Beltran lines out. ZaBlanc bitches. Delgado strikes out. Reyes picked off third. Fans boo. Padres win 2-1.
You take a lot of flak around here
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
Yeah, I do.
And it’s because some of us on the site take it personally and harshly when there is fair criticism of a Met player. The issue I identified with Beltran has been picked up by other sources, including some on this site. There’s not much critique that I’ve identified that hasn’t been picked up here as well. I have no eprsonal vendettas, I am a committed Mets fan
It’s unfortunate if there are those who feel that we can’t openly and honestly speak about our team here.
But, it’s worse when my words get bent around and then I get criticized for a viewpoint I never put forward.
Am I tough on Beltran? Yes. I expect more. But no one cheers more loudly for him when he’s at the plate than I. Just being honest.

well good to see everyone's not partying tonight
there was hardly anyone on the blog last night.
as far as the question of the day goes. C-YA PEDRO. I love your attitude man but there is no way on God’s green earth that this guy is worth 10-12 million for the next 2-3 years. Asta la vista baby!

Wow
It seems that these stupid mistakes are happening to opponents more and us less.

Angels 2 Phillies 0
in the 7th. A win here and a cheesesteak loss would put us 3.5 back, 2 in the loss column. For all the commotion around this team, you would have thought they were 15 games out already
And you would think the Phillies were running away with it
For all the praise they get from the media, they still have four mediocre starting pitchers.

Does anyone know anything about the guy that's been hired from the REDS organization to be an assistant to Omar "Minutae"?

Wayne Krivsky
He did a pretty good job as the Reds’ GM. It’s a good addition.

Wayne Krivsky
He’s had some good drafts as Reds GM. If I’m not mistaken (and I’m sure i will be corrected if I am) that he drafted Jay Bruce and the kid who just shut-out the Yankees in his debut.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
Krivsky
Krivsky took over as Reds GM prior to the 2006 season. He didn’t draft Bruce. Bruce was drafted a year before. I don’t think any of his pick have it to the majors yet.
His success is hard to judge. He is responsible for acquiring Brandon Phillips and Edinson Volquez, but he is also responsible for trading Austin Kearns for Gary Majewski and signing Fransisco Cordero to an awful contract. To his credit he allowed Rich Aurillia and Scott Schoeneweis to walk and got picks in return.
FYI, Daryl Thompson who started today was drafted by…Our very own Omar Minaya
I figured I would be wrong
It took a guy in leather pants to point it out.

Congrats, Gary
You’ve jinxed us again.

that slide
did not get a good view of it but did it seem dirty to anyone?
I would say
more uncoordinated and the product of a guy who hasn’t spent much time on the bases.

wtfbunting?
I don’t usually hold with all the bitching about Beltran dropping one down now and then, but Howie’s right here—this is Coors Field, swing away.
can someone tell me why the double steal is not used more often
you’ve got castillo on third, beltran on first.
send beltran (decent speed)...the moment the catcher shows the throw to second let castillo make a go at it!
is there any strategy left in today’s managers heads? gee-zus!

I don't hate
bunting as much as some of the others around here, but I thought the same thing swing the bat.
Of course if he had gotten the bunt down it would have been 2nd and 3rd and 1 out and Delgado’s grounder would have scored a run.

It's too bad the remaining interleauge series are at Shea
I would love to see if Manuel would have had the guts to DH for Schneider.
Probably one of the worst plays in Baseball
I don’t understand why managers insist on bringing the infield in unless it is a potential game ending situation. If the IF is back Reyes has a good shot of catching that ball. Even if he doesn’t, the runner at second has to hold and it’s 5-1 with 1st and 3rd.
When the IF in play works it is usually due to luck. It’s just bad baseball.
i want to have confidence in pedro
but 2005 was a long time ago…he hasn’t shown he can be a good pitcher since then
This game
officially stinks. One Hit for the Mets!! in Coors Field!! Shameful.
ERIC! Ubaldo deserves some Swag
2 hits after going 0 for last 39! Did the Rockies hire Rick Peterson as the pitching staff’s hitting coach? Mullet Mania in the Mountains!
Keep the Faith!
Last June, the Cubs erased an eight-run deficit to beat the Rockies 10-9 .. their biggest comeback since 1999 when they trailed the Rockies 9-1 at Coors Field and rallied for a 13-12 win. The Rockies are Chokies! Ya Gotta Believe!
Indeed
The Rox bullpen has the propensity to tank it in these situations. However, with the Mets unable to score a guy from 3rd with less than 2 outs in the 8th, the odds are slim they can put up 6 here. Go get em tomorrow!
The 2008 NY Mets: Reyes singles. Castillo infield single. Wright walks. Beltran lines out. ZaBlanc bitches. Delgado strikes out. Reyes picked off third. Fans boo. Padres win 2-1.
What bothers me about tonight's game.
What will bother me about this loss tonight is not just that we lost. It’s those last two innings. In the 8th, with a runner on 3rd with 1 out, the Mets failed to score him. And especially the 9th, with the BASES LOADED and none out, the Mets managed to not score a thing, and there wasn’t even a double play.
That reminds me of the Mets losing baseball, not the much sharper play we’ve seen the last two nights.
Hmmm, hope they get back to it tomorrow.

And to think I'd stay in on Saturday night ...
and still get blue-balls! Pathetic 9th inning – ZERO runs with 3 on and none out? All up to Big Pelf to salvage this series .. see you all tomorrow. And I’m a newbie here, so welcome me dammit.
