you will all hate me forever if this happens
but in my Baseball Mogul 2010 game, Maine just broke his wrist and is out for 288 days.
I have low expectations for this game now.
When asked why I was a Mets fan, I responded, "pain is my lifeblood."
yeah
and sadly I only have the demo, so he’s basically out forever.
slightly related, there’s a bug in the game, where if a pitcher throws like 130 pitches and gets hurt for 1 day, he’ll be completely rested when he recovers. so he can throw on 1 days rest. it’s awesome.
When asked why I was a Mets fan, I responded, "pain is my lifeblood."
oh baseball mogul and its specific injury times
love that game.
Just curious
do we have a winner for April Swag yet?
Wow our actual lineup
and I’d like to point out Javier Vazquez’s numbers to this point, my prediction that he would win the Cy Young, and that Omar Minaya only offered Luis Castillo for him.
King of the bling come to lay down the evidence//Not George Bush, L-Millz be da president
Yeah
That phone conversation couldn’t have lasted long.
Omar: So we kinda like Javy. How do you guys feel about Luis?
Kenny Williams: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! ::click::

I imagine it more like
Omar: I got Castillo
KW: hmm…well…
White Sox intern: Mr. Williams the Braves offered Tyler Flowers and 4 other non-offensive players
KW: Gotta go, O!
King of the bling come to lay down the evidence//Not George Bush, L-Millz be da president
Vazquez is weird
He obviously has awesome peripherals, and he rarely gets hit hard, but it’s like he consistently gives up a series of weak hits each game. I don’t really know what to make of it.
Go baseball!
I hate rainouts. And, hey, Ron’s still in New York! Bonus!
Let’s Go Mets!

does anybody else dislike bobby doing the pre game
by JADDENHOPKINS on May 4, 2009 6:37 PM EDT reply actions
Meh
I’m not really a fan of anyone doing the pre-/postgame. The way I see it, it’s kind of their job to make generic comments and provide cliche-laced analysis. If they’re any good at it, they’re promoted to call games where they can actually talk about baseball.
True
I don’t like either of them really. I did like Mazzilli more, and Carlin and Ojeda aren’t anything special.
"What position do you play?"
"I bat third."
yeah bobby's nice

But what about
Brian Schneider?

If they're calling that a strike
I hope Maine gets that call as well.
"I got my pregnant wife (the Yankee fan) with me. Hoping my kid learns to kick her everytime the Mets score." -Schifftis-
so here's something I wonder
why have the Mets’ coaching staff not yet realized that Reyes is not a good bunter? it’s been like four years now, he’s just not good at it.
Because this isn't a good coaching staff.
"I got my pregnant wife (the Yankee fan) with me. Hoping my kid learns to kick her everytime the Mets score." -Schifftis-
While I agree with you
I don’t think it is wrong to expect him to get one down on saturday.
Not trying to get a cheap pop or anything.
But I’d love a Mets win for my birthday.

I hate those commercials so much. Hey, let’s make a little jingle and then pretend it has really caught out and everyone is singing it by filming amateurs awkwardly singing it. Then we can go even further and have gospel singers doing it, classical guitarists, whatever. If we pretend that it is really viral and catchy then maybe everyone will act like it is!
Awfully wide strike zone in the first inning
And yes, my sound went too.

3. omar minaya should be fired

Just saying...
HP ump tonight, Marvin Hudson, is from Marietta, Georgia.
I am officially not surprised.
"I got my pregnant wife (the Yankee fan) with me. Hoping my kid learns to kick her everytime the Mets score." -Schifftis-
also:
Marvin Hudson-white guy. Surprising, no?
can't be doing that though
if nobody could be the HP ump for a team from their town they grew up, you’d have some weird schedules. I get it for the Wolf bros, but this, I would hope, shouldn’t come up big.
I know, but couldn't they at least not do it for rivalry games?
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
I would hope
Mr. Hudson is a professional. Not like Angel Hernandez, or Brian Runge, or the guy who k’d reyes on a pitch 2 feet outside.
Hell
Angel Hernandez should just be kept away from all Mets games. That dude hates this team for whatever reason.

"I got my pregnant wife (the Yankee fan) with me. Hoping my kid learns to kick her everytime the Mets score." -Schifftis-
Conflict of interest
It might not have been the best idea to employ Wright’s mentor as hitting coach. All the same, Murphy is hitting and Beltran is hitting. And HoJo isn’t saying anything that anyone else would not say. These guys are professionals. They know how to hit.

Those are related.
When you hit the corner and repeatedly don’t get the call, you begin to think you can’t throw a strike at all.
Nah, about half of these balls are at LEAST debateable.

If the Mets hit that

It was a clean slide
but the issue for me was it was never close for Luis, he made that throw before the slide got there, he just hurried it.
And he fricken flat flooted that throw.

The difference between the Mets and Braves booths

I was trying to be facetious. In retrospect, it didn’t work

The People’s Republic of Korea (PRK) was a short-lived provisional government organized to take over control of the country after the Surrender of Japan at the end of the Pacific War. It existed in August and September 1945.

so murphy vs mueller
mueller had that one season where he had a .526 slg, never had anything else over .448. Murphy has a career .481. is also 24, mueller never played until 25. so add in more doubles and some more homers maybe.
When asked why I was a Mets fan, I responded, "pain is my lifeblood."
but if he can have a higher average
with the much higher slg, he’ll be a rather better player. mueller was really a .290s at best hitter. murphy’s better than that, or can/will be i think.

He's not an ace
He won’t win the Cy Young because he isn’t that great. Before the year I predicted an ERA in the high 3s to low 4s. Bet that happens.
ERA may help you get Cy Young, but it is not the best indicator of success, my friend.
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"

Neither is FIP or tRA or any of those
For most pitcher, FIP and tRA are good stats because they are good predictors of future success.
Vazquez ALWAYS underperforms his FIP and tRA. I used to think it was bad luck. It’s not. He’s not as good as his peripherals indicate. I don’t know why, he just isn’t.
he did get unlucky.
he’s made like 3 mistakes and pitched very well otherwise. really should not have come in for the 7th.

heres a random thought
why is it that this team has always been a game 1 and game 3 team when it comes to three game series? all of last year when this team took 2 of 3 it usually seemed that the two wins were in game 1 and in the rubber game- what is it about that second game?
wrong.
We’re 0-8 in final games of series.

Damn
completely forgot about the swag contest. I couldn’t watch the game, but it’s nice to see they were able to fight back. How did Maine look after giving up the 3 runs? I see he walked 6 guys, but were they all early, or did he just get lucky not to give up any runs later on?
He pitched and looked good, for the most part
The ump was terrible, and biased. Or so it seemed. He definitely wasn’t getting the calls Vazquez was.
Yeah Jerry actually had a good quote
about him having control but not quite command. He really had one bad inning early on, but after that just starting pumping fastballs and really seemed to find himself. It was a more encouraging outing than the 6 BBs look, and if I’m not mistaken, the first time this year a pitcher not named Johan has turned in back to back quality starts.
