Let's go Mets!

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

Tough to be at that game last night?

yeah, they were pretty lifeless

They sucked the last time I went to a game with DoctorK16. Maybe we should stop going to Shea together.

Sounds fair

You two are banned from Shea as a duo. A painful loss is the reason Ian B and I won’t bring Smart Water into the games anymore.

I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t bring Smartwater into Shea. It really helps my Saturday afternoon hangovers on the train and in the park.

Scott Hairston

He is of the Baseball-Playing Hairstons.

The Hairston family is one of only three families (along with the Boone family and the Bell family) to have had three generations of major league players.

I was waiting for 'Hell' as one of the choices

but in fairness to Aaron he has been overworked like a fiend the last few years and he must have a dead and/or hurt arm

by Simons on Aug 7, 2008 12:22 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes

I think it might be time to give Aaron (1) some rest and (2) another shot as a starter. Working almost every day in relief doesn’t seem to be helping his value or his durability.

by anonymous on Aug 7, 2008 12:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

well

I thought the same thing but Eric’s post kind of shows that he has only been overworked slightly if at all and not to the point where he should be this awful.

by Endys Game on Aug 7, 2008 12:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes but

he has only be overworked a bit as you said. 6th in the league in innings and some of it like that Saint Louis game recent. No excuse for him being this bad and it started from day one.

he was killing the ball in spring training.

i think he led all players (in spring training that is) in homers. GM kevin towers for the Padres sent him down to the minors even though he had more homers than the entire Padres team during SP and the Padres fans were irate! if it’s one thing they needed, it was offense and he got sent down before the 1st game of the season. he’s a basher. he was at the university of Tennessee anyway.

That is one time where a good bunt would be ok

with Reyes coming up and 2 men in scoring position. You have to execute that play properly.

santana can hit better than he can bunt. if he hits into a DP, so what? we’ve turned the lineup over and already grabbed the lead.

by gogomets on Aug 7, 2008 1:31 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I disagree

with our bullpen, we need to try to score as many runs as we can and Santana ain’t a hitter. He should be able to help himself better than that.

by Endys Game on Aug 7, 2008 1:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

but he is a pretty good hitter

If Santana were Oliver Perez, the bunt would make great sense. But he’s more like Mike Hampton as a hitter. Remember, he played shortstop before he pitched.
