Mainly because he’s decided to never leave anything up to the middle relievers again.

bold statement

i would say that Jerry Manuel agrees with you. based on last night’s comments he seems to be determined to pitch the arms off the starters in order to win.

He's a useful guy

But every time I see him in the lineup he’s batting second. Maybe it just stands out to me.
While we’re on the subject, Ahern is 7-16 for the Nats, and it totally isn’t a small sample size. He’s just a .438/.438/.438 hitter.

Graphic Evidence Against Steroid Abuse

Know anybody who’s using steroids and just won’t stop, despite all your good advice?
Then show them this picture. (Potentially NSFW, and gross — hence its after-the-jump position.)
 Depicted is a 21-year-old amateur bodybuilder who arrived at a clinic in Dusseldorf, Germany with severe acne on his chest and upper back.
He was a constant user of anabolic-androgenic steroids, of which acne is a side effect — as is damaged sperm and shrunken testicles, both of which he also possessed.
Doctors ordered the patient to quit steroids and start taking antibiotics. Two months later, the acne was gone. So was the muscle. Only gruesome scarring remained — and as his doctors wrote last week in the Lancet, that “is likely to remain with the young man for the rest of his life.”

Just a thought

Didn’t Gary say this is Reyes’ 56th mult-hit game this year? In, let’s see, 131 games? And doesn’t it seem like Wright almost never gets two hits in a game? So how come Reyes is hitting .306, and Wright is hitting around .293? I know Reyes has had more AB, but their averages are fairly similar for two guys whose production seems so dissimilar.

27 more walks

for Wright may explain it (from Baseball Reference — not sure if they do in game updates, so that may be going into tonight).

they don't do in-game updates

Typically they’re updated overnight though

by Simons on Aug 27, 2008 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

not sure

It could be that Reyes has more 2-for-5 or 3-for-5 games, with a good number of 0-for-4 games thrown in, while Wright has a lot more 1-for-4 games and 2- or 3-for-4 games.

It’s the way the human mind works, but maybe we have a way of forgetting Reyes’s bad games or something.

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.
