Nuts to this series

That is, nuts to the dang Phillies and their 45-year-old wunderkind Jamie Moyer. Let’s go Mets!

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

Let's go Mets!

It’s time for the fellas from Flushing to knock this fogey around a bit.

I’m off to rehearsal, but I should be back here before tonight’s contest is over. Go Mets go.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

I could not.

Kenny has walked his way off my team and I do not want him back.

Who actually thinks Kenny Rogers "makes sense" for the Mets?

We’re not that pitching needy. Unless we’re talking about the other Kenny Rogers. I could go for some fried chicken at the concession stands.

Hopefully not Omar

If Omar picked up Rogers, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be able to walk down the street in the City anymore.

in all seriousness, how scummy are they?

I’m going to be in Philly 9/8-11.

If I go to the Fish-Phils game wearing a Mets hat, what are the chances I’ll get roughed up. My co-worker used to live in Philly (but is a Twins fan) and says there is a definite possibility of getting sucker punched.

I don’t want to miss a big business meeting because I had a whiskey bottle cracked on my head or got thrown off the upper deck.

“They” say NYC is a tough town, too, but we didn’t throw batteries at Santa Claus.

by mmxii on Aug 26, 2008 6:56 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Worried about being thrown off of the upper deck?

Might happen. Depends on how big you are. I wouldn’t wear the Mets hat unless you’re going to a Mets game. Otherwise, you run the risk of looking like a d-bag. And in Philly, the hat may get you punched a few times.

by BobbyV_Incognito on Aug 26, 2008 7:00 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

that's my problem

Wearing the Mets cap to a neutral game is kind of a dick move. But it seems unnatural not to wear a baseball cap to a baseball game. If I wear a non-denominational cap, that’s merely being polite, not yellow-bellied, right?

by mmxii on Aug 26, 2008 7:04 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not cowardly.

Unless the height of courage for you is having to punch your way out of a crowd of drunken, unruly Philadelphians.

As discussed on last night's game thread

South Philly was the place where a homeless man once threw donuts at me. Not because of the Mets, but I’m just sayin’.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on Aug 26, 2008 7:00 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not sure

Haven’t been to a Mets-Phils game in Philadelphia since 1992. I’d say just don’t act stupid, and you’ll be fine. It’s probably like wearing Mets gear in the Yankee Stadium bleachers: as long as you’re acting like an adult, nobody will give you too much crap.

I wonder what the oldest combined ages by rival starters is?

It has to have been Satchel Paige versus some 30+ opposition, right?

by anonymous on Aug 26, 2008 6:59 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Would Satchel count?

They’ve never really figured out his real DOB, right? And at the end of his career, wasn’t he only a reliever? I really should look this stuff up before posting.

Jamie Moyer is actually the Highlander.

Did Moyer face Glavine last year?

That woulda been pretty old.

Maybe a Charlie Hough/Nolan Ryan match-up?

HEY MEAT!!

Yeah, I’m on your case, man. I realized I’m never gonna catch you with my index-fund approach of predicting 5-4 wins, so now I’m going loco. Swag Grab 2.0 will see me close out the final week of the month calling for 8-0 shutouts in either direction, and the Mets starter either goes nine innings or three — nothing in between.

Give up now, Catsmeat. Give up now.

I called 5-4. Too predictable,

But I’m trying the perfect score longshot…

I have already resigned myself to a dramatic, last gasp loss. I mean, after all your close monthly losses this month I suppose you deserve one taste of victory . . .

A side commentary on Pedro

Regardless of the results now or for the rest of the season, I find it really sad watching the greatest pitcher of my generation (maybe ever) and one of the most intimidating reduced to a guy who can only succeed by nibbling around the edges and pitching away to hitters. The guy used to be a feared pitcher and now batters stand in their like he’s a knuckleballer.

by Reg Dunlop on Aug 26, 2008 7:35 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

Some days it’s just painful to watch him, knowing that he used to be the single most feared pitcher in baseball. God, I wish I’d been able to see him pitch during the past couple of years.

by BobbyV_Incognito on Aug 26, 2008 7:37 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

it does blow

you wonder what he’d be like without the injuries as his first year with the mets was fantastic. but looking back, boy did the red sox play that one correctly.

by kendynamo on Aug 26, 2008 7:38 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But four years was too much

Everyone expected to get two good seasons out of him. The third was going to be iffy. The fourth was absurd. We ended up with one and a half good years.

by Reg Dunlop on Aug 26, 2008 7:43 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But if we didn't give him the four years,

we wouldn’t have closed the deal. Not that I don’t agree with you; everyone knew the 4th year wasn’t going to be anything special.

We need to define "Taguchi" as an adjective.

Something vile and nasty, that way we can insult the guy just by saying his name.

Isn’t the guy just basically their version of Tsuyoshi Shinjo? Why hate someone who’s so bad at baseball?

Because he's bad against everyone but us.

Neither Strawberry or Piazza had 4 100-RBI years with the Mets.

But we all know RBIs are a dumb stat.

nope

Piazza 2 (3 if you count 1998 split LA-Fla-Mets)
Straw 3
Carter 2
HoJo 2
Beltran 2

Delgado needs 10 for 2, Beltran needs 14 for 3

He’s been slumping a bit, and Schneider is hitting well. Hopefully it’ll be 2 weeks on the DL and Hippo will be back with a vengeance in mid-September.

That’s my glass-half-full assessment.

You know… it may have been masked by good starts against teams with no offense like the Pirates and the Nats, but I continue to believe that Pedro has serious problems once he gets into the middle innings.
