At least we're interesting
I’m curious to see Bobby P. tonight
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
me too
is it wrong i’ve been looking forward to this all day?
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 8, 2009 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions
Nah, what else would you look forward to, a win?
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
parnell could throw a ho nitter and lose
you know when we do get our no hitter we will lose
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
haha i've been thinking that for years
but with a 60 pitch limit he goes CG it would be beyond miraculous
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 8, 2009 9:37 PM EDT up reply actions
he'd have to average about 6.5 pitches per inning
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
haha not gonna happen
but i guess theres always the multi-pitcher no hitter option
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 8, 2009 9:39 PM EDT up reply actions
go parnell, redding, green, socks
for a no hitter… how would you love to have those guys attached to the first Mets no hitter
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 8, 2009 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions
Socks! for closer!
K-Rod for waivers!
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
not redding
figgy yes, redding no, cause then he’d be there nexxt year
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
haha i was just thinking of the worst combo possible
except Socks, who would begin his run of Cy Youngs by closing out that game
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 8, 2009 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions
and then throws the first perfect game in history
and is mistaken for the ballboy by Jerry, Omar, and Jeff Wilpon. Only Bernazard knows who he is. He gets signed by the Nationals, and with Strasburg leads them to the WS
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
Unless Francoeur bats 27 times for San Diego, that's not happening
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
could we clone him and then trade him?
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
No, but we could just trade him.
Actually, maybe not.
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
2 days to clear waivers
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
I meant someone actually wanting him

dude the reds are a MLB team
Dusty doesn’t like clogging up the bases
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
under/over on Parnell innings
he’s limited to 60 pitches, right? I’m gonna go with 4
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
im gonna go with

pessimistic line,
he trips over the mound on his way to start the game, tears his ACL out for season.

breaks his ankle walking up the dugout steps
Ollie dropped his gum or something
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
and falls on david wright on the way down
breaking his arm
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 8, 2009 9:48 PM EDT up reply actions
who lands on Santana, breaking his leg
Who then hits Pagan with a falling bat, so the Mets have Reed, and A-Hern in the Lineup. And Omir Santos come sout of the bullpen. The Mets improbably win, causing everyone to realize grission wins games, so Reyes and Beltran are traded for Eckstein and Erstad.
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"

Bpth Ike Davis and Josh Thole did not play today... what's the word?
They would have faced Drabek who is a righty, but neither was in the lineup… tare hey heading to Triple A perhaps?
it would be interesting to see how well we;d be doing if Reyes/Delgafo/Beltran had not been hurt
I think we still would be in deep doo doo because of the pitching
Pretty sure we wouldn't be in 1st place.
Maybe the Wild Card.

He put up great minor league numbers
and its hard to establish yourself in the majors when your pitching caoch is trying to make you use different pitches and you keep getting jerked around after every bad outing, Heath Bell was my boy
And Feliciano did not begin the inning, why?

Silver lining
We can sign all the type A FAs we want, our 1st rounder is protected. Downside is there isnt really anything out there and we dont have money, if only there was 13 mil lying around.
Gonzalez has garbage around him and hits in a pitchers park and has 30 hrs
what’s David’s excuse?

i wish the Mets could suprise me once and awhile
when I make my pessimistic Benigno-like predictions that mets will get swept here
Mets dont like to pay their first rounders
So they would probably “Padre” the draft. Ala Matt Bush. Padres passed on better prospects with the #1 pick becuase they didnt want to fork over the cash.

You can’t continually act surprised about how poorly the Mets are playing and then turn around and go out of your way to praise the efforts of Cory Sullivan.
wow....
my prediction was almost right
I predicted 2.2 4 H 3 R 3 BB 3 K
He got 2.1 4 H 1 R 3 BB 1 K
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
I'm so glad i turned off the T.V
after Tony Gwynn jr made that nice catch to rob Sully.After that i knew it could only get worse
