Alright Mets
lets go for a six-pack of wins!
"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
THis is gonna be a really tough one to pull off
This team pull off a four game sweep?
Not so sure about that.
Then again, we did eat up Colorado’s pen.
If your counting 2 game sweeps
we did that twice when we were in the middle of out 7 game winning streak.Vs Philly and Atl

A 4 game sweep?
Can’t remember the last one. Last year vs. San Fran maybe?
AND THEN LETS SWEEP THE DIAMONDBACKS
Lopez wants it away, and it's hit deep to left center, Andruw Jones on the run, this one has a chance... home run!!, Mike Piazza!, and the Mets lead 3 to 2!!

certainly he never had the legend, the great one, the savior
…Jermaine Dye.
Nope
Instead he had Eric Valent. That equals championship……not! Obviously, you have no stance to your argument. I never said Jermaine Dye was a legend, etc. So get that through your narrow mind. I said he would help.

Memo to SNY studio camera people.....
DO NOT do closeups on Bobby Ojeda.
I love the guy, but he has a huge scar on his forehead along with what is clearly a skin graft. Probably the aftermath of that boating accident years ago.
Not grossed out by it, or anything like that, but HE may not want to be shown like that.
One of the weird little aspects of Hi-Def TV...
You see all the players fucked up mugs. I watched about 3 innings of the 2006 NLCS a few months back on MLBTV and you can see that Pujols has a cold sore the size of Ecuador. Kinda weird. Pretty glad I’m not on TV.
Yeah, it was weird.
I couldn’t tell whether to be grossed out by the fact that he’s a dog, or to admire that he was stressing so badly because of the pressure, etc. that he broke out.
The Giants improved their team.
The Cubs just improved their bullpen by getting Grabow from the Bucs.
The Marlins may get a really good closer with Heath Bell.
Minaya is giving apologies and rejecting trades.
Just wanted to point that out.
Of course he does.
For God’s sake, he works out on his Wii Fit. Now that takes some grission to do that!
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!
Yeah
i mean a guy like mark teahen is not the answer but he would help.So many trades that could have helped us are gone now
by Jadden Hopkins on Jul 30, 2009 6:57 PM EDT up reply actions
The Giants need a lot more than Sanchez to improve that team
They have not one 100 RBI guy in that lineup.
They play in the NL West and the only reason they are in it right now is because the NL East and NL Central got stuck playing the AL East and the AL Central.
The NL West is terrible and the only real team in that division is LA.
San Fransisco is ten games under .500 on the road.
Their Last 4-game sweep was
in 2006 at Arizona, but I could be mistaken. Been long time since the rock n’ rolled.
insert "a" and "they"
streak has me overstimulated
Why does Jon Heyman hate Omar?
Is he just going to keep floating rumors that Omar was turning down trades?
First – the Halladay rumor that turned out to be false. Now – that Omar turned down Martinez from the Indians, without even saying what the Indains asked for.
He’s starting to get a little ridiculous.

except that those guys haven't done a thing yet......not even one inning up at the top level.....
so…..if I can negotiate an extension……I make that trade……….if not……..then I probably decline, and that is probably what went down.
I wouldn't even think about it...
Maybe one of them and a positional prospect, but I can’t see giving up the only two pitchers who are even close to the majors for a 30 yr old 1st baseman that trys to catch.

if Francoeur would do that more often, he’d walk more and become a much better hitter.

he gets hot for a week or so, then goes back to his usual crappy self, but keeps getting playing time. Same thing last year remember?

and he drove it. Stop whining.

that frenchie hit a ball on the screws with 2 outs and a runner on second and it just happened to be right at somebody.

yes, I'm the only one here talking about this particular pitch
clearly I’m not the only one who has problems with his lack of plate discipline
why don't we argue about it all day
fact is, on a 3-2 pitch with castillo on second, frenchie batting, murphy on deck vs a tough lefty, if you give me a choice between ball 4 and a random hart hit linedrive that we don’t know the outcome of, I will take the linedrive. Nobody is saying Frenchie is Barry Bonds over here, just that it sounds silly to complain when a guy comes up in an RBI spot and lines out right at somebody.

the outcome was okay that one time
But the at-bat was symptomatic of everything wrong with his approach. Expanding your strike zone that much is a surefire recipe for never seeing a good pitch to hit.
well sure, but that's a false dichotomy
there’s no guarantee, when he swings at ball 4, that he’s going to hit a line drive. sure, if you can guarantee a line drive, you take it just about every time, but you’re neglecting the possibility that he strikes out or hits a grounder or pops up or etc. etc.
late to this party but I agree with JoshNY
Francour swung at two bad pitches and got lucky. You guys are going to look awfully silly when he cools down.
Oh my god....YOU'RE USING CAPS!!!
SO AM I!!!!
WHOOPIEE!
Good hard hit ball in that AB
He didn’t swing at something he couldn’t handle. I liked that swing with 2 out and a runner on 2nd.

they’ll get these prospects, develop them for a few years and then trade them for more prospects once they start to perform and are due to be paid.
Not true
They’ve picked up salary in every trade except the Sanchez and LaRoche moves.

I don't know, it looks pretty generic to me
But it can’t help but be a huge upgrade.
to the end that the guys they traded away weren't all that good anyway
with the possible exception of Morgan, what have they really given up?
Adam LaRoche, Freddy Sanchez, John Grabow, Jack Wilson and Nate McClouth are useful parts to a contending team, but fairly useless (and expensive to a team like the Pirates)
And Ian Snell and Tom Gorz were treading water
Yeah, they got cheaper (in terms of the players on their roster), but those players are no more age-similar so when they grow up a little, they should be pretty good.
Think Tampa – except that the Pirates didnt have the smarts to draft these guys 3 years ago.
yes
Wayne Hagin just went on a moronic jag about that deal too. “A hitter like Freddy Sanchez for one double-A pitcher?”
When Wayne Hagin vociferously agrees with you, it’s time to rethink your position.

it’s just strange that the Bucs are finally doing some good things and getting killed. People act like the guys they have traded away are a team full of all stars. If Laroche, Sanchez, Wilson, Gorz, Grabow, McClouth etc are all so great why didn’t they win anything? They are finally building a respectable farm system.

the problem seems to be simple name recognition
They’ve just traded every Pirate player that the average lazy out-of-town announcer has heard of, in exchange for minor leaguers they’ve never heard of.

and the phrase “career ending” has been popping up in sentances with his name.

Indeed
I’m hating him less these days.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
I don't know if that was sarcasm
But he kinda got a raw deal with the way Jerry yanked him around the first few months (in part his own fault for def problems). But I think its becoming evident that Murph needs fairly regular ABs and he just didnt get anything of that nature for the first 2 mos of this year.
He also just flat hasn't played well
nor does he appear to have the kind of ceiling we were lead to believe he had initially. It was part sarcasm. Murphy was oversold to the fanbase, which isn’t his fault. At the same time, the guy was named the starter in the off-season based on a small handful of ABs.
I’ve seen a lot of really bad ABs from him this year. He’s looked a bit better recently.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
I don't think anybody really thought Murphy was some huge ceiling guy
maybe having a ceiling like Nick Johnson. Put together vary patient at bats, hit line drives, draw walks. He hasn’t played well, but I havent seen anything to change his ceiling in my eyes. I think Murph can hit, and I think he eventually will if he gets ab’s everyday.

And your number is backwards again when you try

Eggs break when you walk on the scramble
You’re living against the machine
