Lets go get em, Big Pelf...

When need you to go more than 5 innings baby, lets ride this little streak.

Marquis

I’m not sure what his fip is, but he’s never really impressed me. He almost always gives up way more hits than innings pitched, and he doesn’t have a strikeout pitch. He must really be keeping it on the ground this year, like Piniero, which doesn’t bode well for the metsies. I predict either Schneid or Murph contributes to the “power surge” tonight.

Minaya: Adam, I’m sorry, but I stand by what I said, you know what I’m saying? But I’m sorry, I just picked the wrong place, you know what I’m saying?
Adam: You tried to ruin me. You’re despicable.
Minaya: Okay, well we have this new job that just opened up, any interest?

That Dexter Fowler seems like an exciting young player

I’d never heard of him before this series, having not seen a single Rockies game.

I stopped watching BBTN last season

no particular reason why — I think I’m usually watching Simpsons reruns or Family Guy. I’m usually way behind on who the hot kids are.

I'll say Florida

Slightly less of a threat than Atlanta. Braves have really good pitching (rotation and pen) and offense is improved with Mclouth.

Pelfrey and the bullpen were superb. Only 5.5 out. This season is far from over.

Another Win

4 in a row now. Could it be we hit rock bottom after being shut out by the Nats, and have no where to go but up? Of course. Waiting for Phillies to collapse in September with 7 game lead now.

by Jsz on Jul 28, 2009 10:16 PM EDT reply actions  

Can't worry about the Phillies anymore...Let's focus on the wildcard.....

…and if the Phillies do collapse while we are trying to get the Wildcard, it will be a very welcome surprise.

by MetsGod on Jul 28, 2009 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agreed

Very unlikely we’ll catch the Phils. It would be welcome, but let’s focus on one step at a time. First step, back over .500. Next step, back to the playoff picture. Then we’ll see where we go from there.

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!

wait a minute the Mets are ALIVE

it was only a few days ago that i was willing to give up on the Mets as a team, and a franchise. Then they hit me with a pinch hit GS for the go ahead runs and then a shutout. Two things i thought i wouldnt see again until some 50-10678 years from now. What a surprise.

UPDATE 1: My browser has crashed several times in the process from all the rants (FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!) - as a result, there will instead be 4 or 5 separate installments of fxcarden's Nightly Rants! from 2011, with a similar pattern for the 2012 rants. Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule: Volume 1: 2011 No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT No. 2: Tomorrow No. 3: Thursday No. 4 and No. 5 (?)

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one. Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
