Another game?
Really? This shit is brutal and it didn’t even start yet.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
Lets go Nationals and Padres!
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
hey weve got 7 other teams behind us too
making a late run for #1 pick, gonna have to work hard for it
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 4:00 PM EDT up reply actions
We are going to choke again
in September
by Jadden Hopkins on Aug 9, 2009 4:02 PM EDT up reply actions
yeah we'll go on a huge winning streak and miss the playoffs by one game
on the last day of the season
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 4:03 PM EDT up reply actions
And then Jerry and Omar get extensions
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
Who am I kidding
I can’t even pick the Mets to lose no matter how likely
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
well you can expect it
just not cheer for it
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 4:02 PM EDT up reply actions
A high draft pick is the only thing keeping me sane right now
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
It would be nice to see Johan
lead the N.L in wins and be tied for the major league in win.At least that would be 1 good reason to talk about the mets
You know what that means
He’s going to throw a CG
by Jadden Hopkins on Aug 9, 2009 4:07 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah we miss your
Powerful bat in the line up
by Jadden Hopkins on Aug 9, 2009 4:08 PM EDT up reply actions
this'll be a good game for frenchy
the strike zone is so big he might as well swing at everything anyway.
but we'll lose it
so it won’t officially count
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 4:21 PM EDT up reply actions
we will lose 1-0
on a walk,wild pitch,and error
by Jadden Hopkins on Aug 9, 2009 4:23 PM EDT up reply actions
yeah
he’s been actually doing a little better with that the last few games… decent at bat there
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 4:25 PM EDT up reply actions
Part of me wanted to see
Eckstein in the same game with Santos.Could you imagine Grission between those two
So contracts not withstanding, who should stay for next year ?.
Johan, Pelfrey
the entire bullpen except for Green. Yes, I would bring back Putz.
Murph, Luis, Wright, Pagan, Reyes*, Santos, Sully. Cora.
I think
the odds are better than even he comes back healthy next year. He could probably play right now but given the fact that it’s Reyes, speed is the name of his game, and he’s not willing to come back not 100%, he’s still out.
Now diagnosed with scar tissue behind the knee they’ll try and get rid of…
by MetsFan4Decades on Aug 9, 2009 4:41 PM EDT up reply actions
with a normal spring training,
Ollie will be OK next year. And with his contract, the Mets would not be able to get anything of value for him anyway.
well his average isnt bad this season
he at least gets the bat near the ball, but this looks like cold-streak wright
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 4:48 PM EDT up reply actions
Its so easy to K him...
just throw junk down and away. He’s gonna chase it.
Omar and Jerry, dumbest tandem in baseball.
And 64 Walks
and a .418 OBP good for sixth in the majors
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
At least not in the next at-bat...
Remember what happened last time he let two straight fastballs down the middle pass him? He got pissed and swung for a ball at his head!!
Look for Frenchy to go 1st pitch swinging next time….
The little things...
Phillies about to be swept by the Marlins. Victorino gets thrown out in CF by the ump for making a gesture on a ball/strike call. What a tool…..
For those that might be interested....
Howard up to bad with runners on the corners, 3-1 Marlins, 2 out. Ump calls strike 3 on a pitch low and away. Howard reacts strongly to the call “No goddamn way that’s a f—-ing strike!” as TV goes to commercial.
Marlins up in the next half inning, in the middle of an AB the ump ejects Victorino from behind the plate. Shane immediately jogs to the infield and picks up into a run as he approaches the conference, Bako and RyHo both restrain him as he gets hot at the ump. Dubee and Perlozzo barricade Vic in the dugout as Charlie gets worked up in conversation.
The crowd has been booing lustily for the last 10 minutes.
**************
Sore losers……
If it can’t be us, I’m rooting for the Marlins. ANYONE but the Phils….
by MetsFan4Decades on Aug 9, 2009 4:58 PM EDT up reply actions
also the fans will get pissed
because they ahve no stomach in Philly

i would love to see the marlins take the division since we can’t.

When they beat the Yanks, (2003 ?)....my wife was saying that all year.
watch out for the Marlins…watch out for the Marlins.
Wow Anderson Hernandez has our RBI
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
yup and yesterday Alex Cora had our rbi
the end is nigh
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 5:03 PM EDT up reply actions
well these guys are obviously the grission players
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
Santana hitting leadoff tomorrow
Figgy hits 3rd, Livan batting cleanup.
Perez hits 5th, Parnell 2nd. Big Pelf in the 6 hole
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
come on Pagan
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
a francoeur style
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
I think
Pagan and Frenchy switched uniforms for this series.
yeah, cause Francoeur walked
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
Plus he had an 8-pitch AB today
Which is, somehow, more than he saw in his last 9 ABs combined.
SD lineup is actually worse than ours --and they still beat us.

Jerry the Clown: available for all birthdays, bar mitzvahs and Met games
Nats have won 8 in a row
I am ashamed, but it puts them 12 behind (ahead?) in the no1 pick sweepstakes
"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 aiming for a top 5
I think we can pass Arizona and San Diego, and pitt
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
not sure about the pirates
they aren’t much better than us if at all
If the Nats play .500 ball
We have to go 14-38 to pass them. Not even the Mets are that pathetic.
I guess it doesnt help
that my 2nd team is the Orioles. LOL @ me.
good at bat by MUrph
though ultimately out. Francoeur should learn from Murph
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
if learning from Murph is so important
why isnt it on the scoreboard?

ha
new segment at Citi Field: Hitting Lessons from Professor Murphy, replacing spanish from Professor Reyes
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
haha lesson one
taking a pitch: all you do is stand there… do nothing
Francoeur: well it IS on the scoreboard….
Strikes out looking on 3 pitches his next 10 at bats
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 5:28 PM EDT up reply actions
lesson two
only take pitches that are balls. learn the strike zone
Francoeur does that and walks 4 times in one game. However, because OBP is not on the Citi Field score board due to an error, and the only stat on is RBI, and he didn’t get nay in a 10-0 win, he says fuck that and goes back to usual
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
lesson three
Just because its not on the scoreboard doesnt mean it doesnt count.
Since this is presented to Francoeur on the scoreboard, he gets so confused his head explodes.
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 5:34 PM EDT up reply actions
its ok, its just a bone bruise
he’ll be back in no time…. right???
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 5:36 PM EDT up reply actions
its a cautionary tale,
good thing its not at Citi so they wont have to use the Mets medical staff
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions
what happened to the ump?
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
took a nasty foul ball to the head
knocked his mask clean off, took him out of the game, probably for x-rays on his jaw.
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 5:41 PM EDT up reply actions
face reconstruction is on Tuesday
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
foul tip off the mask
he looked kinda rattler
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it on the scoreboard?"
he's definitely trading autographs for hot dogs to be named later
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it on the scoreboard?"
he's just trying to lure the children closer
since they’re bite sized.

wait is he a rapist?
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
im sure the mets have food
we don’t need the bats, seeing as we don’t hit anymore
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
leftovers make Livan sad
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it on the scoreboard?"
i went to the 3rd base of life
and i asked whether the mets should clone Johan
he consulted the water bottle, and said thats unlikely
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
hope this doesn't make johan go cold
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
swinging first pitch and getting a hit
but please don’t do that every at-bat
well if he gets the hit every at bat its ok
but somehow i doubt he can do that
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 5:50 PM EDT up reply actions
1% likely?
i think we have to slide the decimal back a few places

yesss
That popped right out of Junior’s mitt
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it on the scoreboard?"
the only guy who can score runs
is somebody who can only play every other five days.
yay
like the rest of the baseball world,
the padres feel bad for the mets
angel pagan is the total package
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it on the scoreboard?"
Santana finally gets is
he ahs to be the offense
2/2 with a bb today
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
hahahahahahh
2 runs on an error
are the Padres us in disguise?
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
c'mon dubs
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
jesus is this place dead?
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
maybe thats because we're winning
can’t complain
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
alll the more reason they should keep them
gives us something fun to watch

I really cant see half the team...
with long fricken beards come Sept 31. It was gonna happen eventually.
Omar and Jerry, dumbest tandem in baseball.
you know you would have been thoroughly entertained if they had though
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 6:20 PM EDT up reply actions
I think they should let them grow through the off season
show up at spring training looking like Rip Van Winkle
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it on the scoreboard?"
agreed
they keep them until they’re over 500 no matter what
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 6:43 PM EDT up reply actions
it shows a lack of grission
some people play the game the right way
other players don’t have the love
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it on the scoreboard?"
are you Joe Morgan is disguise
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
Once again....even though Frenchy popped out..
….NIce to see he’s actually Taking pitches now….
Johan is very efficient, and I hope he goes 8 innings
and jerry uses socks to close it out
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
yeah id trust socks over k-rod right now
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 6:23 PM EDT up reply actions
There are other options too
Feliciano, Parnell, Figgy, Redding
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
lets stop calling him K-rod...
i think BB-rod is more appropriate
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 9, 2009 6:29 PM EDT up reply actions
he has 96 though
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
wow
I turn on the game and the Mets are winning? my tv must be tuned to bizarro SNY

….but then again, who cares about OBP, right? :p
(“who” being me….)
Also stop trying to start that argument
by James Kannengieser on Aug 9, 2009 6:40 PM EDT up reply actions
No argument.
Just pointing out the obvious. That’s all.
And anyway, why are you nitpicking how I post?
Is it a ban-able offense? Somehow, I doubt it.
Let me post how I want to post, okay? I concede that everyone here has superior knowledge of the game to myself. At least let me have the ability to post how I want without being nagged about it like I was married or something…
I'm nitpicking you trying to start the tired Francoeur debate
And since you have, I’ll point out that Francoeur has been sub-replacement level so far as a Met (that’s -0.2 WAR) while Ryan Church has been worth 0.7 WAR as a Brave. Francoeur sucks and has no business being on this team past this season.

If you read this post,
Let me direct you to the “francouer is the solution…” fanpost(you know the one).
I input my two cents and a quarter there regarding that issue and what I thought.
Is it my imagination
or do the Padres have the ugliest uniforms in the majors?
is it the camoflauge one?
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
yeah
not trying to diss the troops, but they look kind of silly…on TV at least.
I kinda like them
but then again i like our black uni’s
by Jadden Hopkins on Aug 9, 2009 6:36 PM EDT up reply actions
The Padres can get away with it
because they have a nice earth tone tan in some past unis.
Our black uniforms make my eyes burn with pain and hatred.

No Mets play hard

and forget about reyes and delgado
we should replace them all with gamers like cora, hernandez, francoeur, sullivan and reed. and tatis
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
That's not what I said, but I will say this...
at least Victorino says something when the opposing pitchers throws at his head (last years postseason). Beltran and Wright give a blank stare, and let someone else do the talking.
Are they good players ?, Yes.
Do they play hard ?. Of course they do.
Are they gangsta ?. Nope.
Jerry Manuel is "gangsta"

I honestly thought that Murph thought that Frenchy was going to swing at the first pitch.
I think he was shocked that Frenchy actually showed patience…..LOL!
ugh, that was foolish
but a good tag
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it on the scoreboard?"

Of course
and put the $$ saved towards other players that could help the team more than an expensive closer.

Frankie: 4 years, $54.5 million ($13.5 mil per year)
Fuentes: 3 years, $26.5 million ($8.8 mil per year)
(including options – I think that’s a pretty big difference)

double co-sign...
I’m not saying Fuentes, but seriously shelling that much money out for a closer is retarded. Find an effective pitcher and give them the job.
