sleepy

This late starting is completely unacceptable. If people are foolish enough to live on the wrong side of the country, that’s their problem. Besides, it’s my understanding that everyone on the left coast is a musician, an entertainer, or an unemployable Singles-style slacker. They could start this game at 8 PM regular time and the coffee shops would just have to show the game.

look, buy some suntan lotion, a pair of sandles and some shades and chill out. it’s beautiful out there man…or gal…

IMHO, Tony Gwynn is one of the smartest and most fun ex-ballplayers to listen to. I think my dream ex-player broadcast team (in a few years from now) would be him and Pedro Martinez.

In general, it’s probably nice not to dump too many pictures into the game threads, anyway (this means you, fat cat posters).

What you want to put inside the “img src=” tag is the URL of the picture itself, not the URL of the wrapper page. There’s even a little button up above the comment text area that wraps the picture URL in an img tag for you (the little tree thing).

by anonymous on Jun 5, 2008 10:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah, i see the tree. hmm. i saw the prompt too.

but if i’m on the page w/the pic, where do i get the link for the pic and NOT the page?

Regarding the poll about the draft...

My answer, personally, is “I have no idea.”

by JoshNY on Jun 5, 2008 10:44 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

mine too

I voted for “Yay” solely because some of the draft analysis I saw said that Reese Havens (sounds like a peanut-butter-cup theme park) was a good pick. I haven’t got a clue how this stuff turns out until the players have a few years under their belts.

by anonymous on Jun 5, 2008 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

totally

i voted for “meh” because i had no idea what it meant.

a baseball draft just can’t grab my attention because the prospects normally don’t make an immediate impact on the team

by JoshNY on Jun 5, 2008 11:27 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

wow.

Pelfrey continues to do just enough, aided by a few sharp plays from Reyes. How many runners can Kouzmanoff strand on base before he gets lucky once? By rights, the Padres ought to have four or five runs in this game.

by anonymous on Jun 5, 2008 11:43 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

i wish the offense would take advantage of this luck

but with banks only having thrown 63 pitchers so far, it seems like the offense will be moribund for another two innings or so. what’s with the mets and young pitchers they’ve never seen before…this goes back to 2006

by englishgrey on Jun 5, 2008 11:47 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Seriously

These young pitchers seem to pitch lights out against the Mets

funny you should post this now

just as the Mets broke through to a totally undeserved tie. I found Banks’s baffling them totally predictable up to now; he’ll probably still pitch a complete game and win 2-1.

by englishgrey on Jun 6, 2008 12:21 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

true

but i’m just trying to come up with a reason why he sucked with the mets but then rocked out with the padres…

by englishgrey on Jun 6, 2008 12:24 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well

Again, his peripherals (strikeout and walk rates, specifically) were very good with the Mets. He gave up a lot of hits, but sometimes that’s just bad luck. San Diego is a much better place to pitch than Shea, but I suspect he relaxed a bit and some of the balls starting bouncing his way.

him for BenJonnson anyway

Yeah, I knew he was playing for them, but I just assumed it was mostly as a defensive replacement. Had no idea he was hitting, much less hitting that well even in a small sample (to be fair, only 90 AB).

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
