Let's go Pelf!

Have I mentioned that I don’t particularly care for the Phillies?

Not one bit.

I don't think anyone on this site does.

"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran

And here is why

They are overrated. I dont care if they won the world series. They are simply an overrated team that got lucky and will never be heard from in 5 years. This “rivalry” will be long forgotten after Ryan Howard has moved on Jimmy Rollins will be OBPing, .320 if he is lucky and Chase Utley leaves for the Yankees.

That's just it

I think they’re boring and I don’t look forward to playing them. I can’t work up a good-healthy hatred the way I have in days past for the Braves or the Cardinals. Or even the Yankees!

i agree

i don’t take the franchise seriously still. to paraphrase john lennon, “i don’t believe in Phillies.” The fact that they haven’t handled being world champs particularly class-i-ly just reinforces my feelings. that said, they’re still better than we are.

Lineup

Same as last night for the Mets while Jimmy Rollins moves to the leadoff spot for the Phils.

"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran

So then I assume

That Murph and F! will get their lefty at bats against Moyer.

while

I like having the same lineup for the second straight game, I have to wonder about Scheider’s position on the depth chart. The guy is actually 4/12 against Hamels. Is Santos now officially starting catcher for the Mets?

by alexSVK on Jun 10, 2009 6:29 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I would have been shocked if Jerry would have givin Schnieder the start...he is a lefty ya know.

But overall I agree with you, but Jerry doesn’t look at history or stats, he goes with his gut and lefty-righty matchups. With a lefty on the mound he wants a righty in the box.

Like,

He makes me sad. Then, I feel guilty for disliking him. I mean, he didn’t do anything wrong, he’s trying his best to contribute to my favorite team. And that makes me depressed.

by TheBigStapler on Jun 10, 2009 6:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

You probably dislike him a little

because of all the attention from the clutch hits. Santos has gotten some big hits, but he’s just not that good and we gave up a superior player to keep him.

yes,

that’s true. On the other hand, while I liked Castro, he really was a bit lazy and could not be relied on. Hence, I really do not complain too much about getting rid of him.

by alexSVK on Jun 10, 2009 7:03 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Right

I don’t think the difference between Santos and Castro is a losing and winning season, respectively. You just hate to see the GM make the wrong move.

I like Sheff, he's been a pleasant surprise

but can anyone tell me why he bats ahead of Wright?

"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."

by Evan_S on Jun 10, 2009 7:29 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I think

That Jerry believes David Wright is a better, more threatening hitter, than Sheff. So by putting David behind Sheff (who has great plate discipline) it forces the pitchers to pitch to Sheff and if they walk him then Wright is there to back him up

basically all statistical analysis will tell you

that small effect of “protection” in the order is not equal to what you get from getting the extra at-bats from wright

by MetsGeek on Jun 10, 2009 7:33 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The whole protecting a batter has been disproven.

But that’s probably Jerry’s logic

The Philly media

if anything, kills the Mets, too.

I don't know

I’m really not sure if that’s the case. Speculation about who the media “favors” always comes from both sides.

Really, Jerry?

I'd say the national media

pegs the Mets as gritless choke artists, and Reyes as an asshole. Generally.

I agree that Reyes is portrayed negatively

As for the “gritlessness”, the media always tries to explain teams’ success or failure. This is just their way of trying to rationalize the Mets’ September struggles.

Really, Jerry?

Agreed

But it spills over into stuff like the Phillips idiocy.

True.

Really, Jerry?

I'm sure the pen is getting ready

Somehow, a chain of events unfolded that put Steve Phillips in a professional broadcast booth Sunday night so he could rip Carlos Beltran. Try to explain that in any other terms.
