Voltron!

What a way to cap off his busy day. First, featured in The Onion. Last, winning the dang ballgame.

On to tomorrow and the damn Marlins. Go Big Pelf!

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

FIRST!

Some rookie (Mitch Stetter) is coming in to pitch for the Brewers. 2 outs, runner on second, Nate McCLOUT up.

Alright

Off to watch “Summer of 4’2”." Daily Simpsons re-runs and Mets games seem to be all I watch.

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

PRESSURE

“a pressure-packed moment here at miller park”
swung through a breakingball, 3-2
foul ball, still 3-2

PRESSURE
“a former Met trying to help the Brewers”

The “current” Hebrew Hammer.

Those poor Brewers fans

1 postseason appearance, and none as an NL team. And they’ll be denied again this year, I’m sad to report…

wow

we’re very confident all of a sudden

by JoshNY on Sep 25, 2008 11:21 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm a poor, nostalgic sap

i think Pedro is a really interesting, thoughtful, quirky person and I hope we get to see him pitch again as a Met.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
