Easley has to make that play on Lewis' ground ball
The call on Lewis running out of the baseline was terrible though. I continue to believe that it’s ridiculous that there’s no accountability for calls that umpires make.
Is it just me
Or do the umps save all their shitty, bone-headed calls for the Mets?
If that costs me swag points I’ll be pissed.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
another bad call against the Mets
See, this is where Willie’s pushover act hurts the team. It will take a while for Manuel to gain the respect (or fear) of the umps, but some base-throwing couldn’t hurt (not that he should’ve gotten tosses in that spot).
Vote change: DePodesta/Acta in 2009!!!
i would have picked up first and second base and cymbolled the umps head if i were managing
a dangerous precedent has been set: you can run around the mound to avoid a tag.

who are we getting tonight?

Linecum with illegal bandaid on his face
wow every NL Central team has two aces. Don’t worry we have El Duque coming back.

now you're being silly...
First-inning runs don’t count—when they are a result of a Beltran home run.

BOOMTRON!
Man, I thought he got under that one. I’ll take it.
Vote change: DePodesta/Acta in 2009!!!
good news, bad news
Kazmir has struck out seven and walked none in three innings at Yankee Stadium. Unfortunately, Jeter poked a two-run double a few minutes ago to make it a 2-0 game.
w00t
nice to pull up the mlb scoreboard and see a 3 spot in the first inning. but, as someone already said, it doesn’t count because beltran did it
I hear you...
I must be hung over from the past eight games because it’s hard to keep the enthusiasm going. (However, it’s good to know that Pelfrey is doing a better job pitching than we are blogging!)

I present that home run...
As evidence to contradict those who say that Delgado is now only capable of hitting against bad pitchers.
Delagdo's OPS by month
March: .250 (1 game)
April: .632
May: .771
June: .784
July: .996 (7 games prior to today)
dogg
you are the source for Delgaod’s OPS. I’m just sayin.

But you
Have been pimping Delgado all the last few months. It’s a fact.

Russo's douchiness is starting to outweigh his amusement factor
And Francessa isn’t so great either. I think it’s about time we get a Mets fan in the prime afternoon time slot on the Mets flagship radio station.
Joe Benigno is the man for the job
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
Not a bad idea
I thought about suggesting Steve Summers but he really belongs in that midnight to 5am shift
Love the schmoozer
Hell they could bring back Sid Rosenberg, and he would be better then Fat ass and Fruitloop.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
he's hitting his spots
throwing the curveball now, which is good
You know, I don’t like it when Reyes bunts, generally, because I just don’t think he’s all that good at it, and even in situations where bunting is advisable, doing so with someone who’s not good at executing it is dumb.
But WOW, that was a great bunt.
That's a good question
In the scheme of things, I don’t think it’s as important as keeping up his plate discipline. It’d be a useful skill for him to have, with his speed. But considering that he’s been in the big leagues for six seasons now (more or less), and that he really hasn’t gotten any better at it, I’m not holding my breath for him to learn now at 25 if he didn’t learn at 21 or 22. In any case I don’t think his inability to bunt for a base hit is what’s holding him back from taking his career to the next level.
just found this...
Check out this very cool site after the game, guys: http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/4270411.html. It details the greatest film car chases of all time.
I'm in Poland
But it is nice to see that Carlos B is still not clutch.
by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Jul 8, 2008 9:20 PM EDT reply actions
Mets have 5 runs
Beltran has driven in 4 of them.
So unclutch, what a loser.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
yep
Big loser, that guy is. Pretty much the worst, least clutch Met of all time.
by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Jul 8, 2008 9:22 PM EDT up reply actions
it's no fun if we all agree on Beltran's lack of clutchiness...
if ZaBlanc is not here to read it! ;-)
by JE on Jul 8, 2008 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm in Eastern Europe
I’ll take all the unclutchness I can get, ZaBlanc or no ZaBlanc.

How they treating you over there?
Behaving your self?

I'm not up early,
I’ve been out all night. Nice time over here, with much booze and smoking.

My bad for thinking that you were there for work! Enjoy!

No work for me
Just holiday, even following los Metskis!

i'm glad they scored onthe Beltran single, but...
would’ve liked to see the first Reyes Reyes double steal.
I.M. Forme
Pelfrey interview...
he sounds like “i believe you have my stapler” guy from Office space. Otherwise he’s doing great!!
I.M. Forme
Pelfrey and Perez looking better
If those two have figured things out, the Mets might have the pitching to take this division no matter how many times Chavez and Tatis (his bomb a second ago notwithstanding) start.
I haven’t been this excited about this team since early May.
Vote change: DePodesta/Acta in 2009!!!
the opposite of Benitez?
How does one explain Ollie’s starts against the Phils and Yanks and crummy outings against everyone else? Does he need nervous excitement to excel or is it plain coincidence?
by JE on Jul 8, 2008 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions
1.5 games
1.5 games, ladies and germs, 1.5 games.
The only thing that sucks about tonight is that the Rays couldn’t get anything going against the Jesus Juicer in the Bronx.
Vote change: DePodesta/Acta in 2009!!!
good night, folks
Beating a bad team for a change is a good omen.
It's OK to come out.
It’s OK.
