Farve Watch
At least i can have a good laugh watching Ollie pitch the Farve thing is getting annoying
by Jadden Hopkins on Aug 18, 2009 6:29 PM EDT up reply actions
Burt Furve
I’d say watching Ollie is more depressing and infuriating than it is annoying. This whole Furve business is just beating a dead horse.
Ironically, Favre is probably as bad at QB these days as Perez is at pitching.
This season has been a mess
But nothing would make be happier then us sweeping the braves and put a holt to their post-season hopes

Braves scouting report for you guys
Lineup:
1. Infante-2B: Just came off the DL a few days ago; GW hit on Saturday.
2. Prado-1B: One of the team MVPs since June 1st; Is a little banged up and has been
“dizzy” since last saturday.
3. Chipper-3B: Your favorite player in the whole wide world!
4. McCann-C: Power and average numbers are down this season, but they still aren’t bad. Has been smashing the ball lately.
5. Escobar-SS: 4 – 26 w/ 6 K’s after being one of the best hitters in baseball in July; great defense.
6. Anderson-LF: Was slumping badly in July but turned it around thus far in August; horrible fielding
7. Diaz-RF: Well, he’s facing a lefty tonight, so he’ll have 3 hits with 5rbi…no seriously, he KILLS lefties. He just cant hit righties for shit. Also, a weak arm in RF.
8. Church-CF: Solid #8 hitter; wasnt hitting with RISP until he hit a 2 out, 3rbi double yesterday.
9. Lowe-P: Pretty good bunter.
McLouth is on the DL with a strained hammy and LaRoche is getting the night off.
Our closer, Rafeal Soriano, who was one of the best in the NL the 1st half, has blown 3/4 saves and has a sore shoulder.
DLowe had a stretch in June and early July when he went 0-4 w/ a 8.50ERA. Since then: 5-0 w/ a 2.89 ERA. He’s probably been our 3rd best pitcher this season behind Vazquez and Jurrjens (with Hanson closing in on him). If his sinker is consistently hitting the outside corner, he’ll be great. If not…uhhh, it’ll be a long night for the Braves.
Hope this helps. GO BRAVES =)

haha im sorry about your season guys. Trust me…the Braves pitching had so many injuries last season it was like a betting game on who would hit the DL next. THings do get better.

2. Groundout
3. Swinging K
Hit 96 MPH, 85 with the changeup
perfect through 2 innings
shawn bowman just homered

Was Evans called up today?
Or are they playing a man short until Wagner shows up and we can have 13 pitchers?
They needed a middle infielder...Evans wasn't the guy

Valdez
Has never been the guy for any major league team.
He's at least a decent defender at short...
The Mets really needed another MI with Hernandez and Castillo as our only options. Evans should have come up over Green, but Valdez should have been the replacement for Cora.

I won't argue with that

and then theres castillo, green, valdez
we have a lot of middle infielders right now

Just think
We could have Ollie and Zito pitching on the same roster

I agree...
The fact that he was a type A guy who declined arbitration just made it worse.

Yeah....what is it 8 for Wags, 8 for Putz and 12 for K-ROd ?.
plus say 2 a piece for Stokes, Pedro, and 2 more…….so that would be 38 mil on the bullpen.

That would be awesome
if he can pitch well for a week or two it might even raise his value.

The way he's talking, maybe he'd decline arbitration if he couldn't close.

by aparkermarshall on Aug 18, 2009 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions
i don't think so
Francoeur also played football, leading Parkview to two undefeated state championship seasons in 2000 and 2001. In his junior year at Parkview, Francoeur pulled in 15 interceptions while catching 14 touchdown passes. Francoeur turned down a full football scholarship at Clemson University to pursue a career in baseball despite having signed a Letter of Intent. Jeff had football scholarship offers to numerous powerhouse programs yet chose the average Clemson program due to being allowed to play both baseball and football.
This leads me to believe he was a WR/CB

Why do you hate the guy so much? Even you think he sucks as a baseball player, I don’t understand how he has become the most hated Met player.
I’m talking personal hatred for the guy, way beyond commenting on his baseball abilities.

i don’t think the mets have worn black hats or black jerseys for at least 5 games now. could we have seen then end of the merchandising mistake?
that makes me very happy
now if we can only get back to the road greys with blue hats.
i wouldn’t mind bringing back those throwback unis again without the massive NY
