"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
yeah honestly at this point they should be paying us
free escalators for all the members of one lucky section
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
Evening...
I heard Francesa saying something about a statement Minaya made today about perhaps moving one of the core players this offseason ?.
Anybody know what happened ?
I haven't heard anything
I did hear that the Mets were filming an apology video for fans for this season (seriously)
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
no, really...
I heard him say it on the radio around 4:15. He went on to say that it wouldn’t be Wright, and it wasn’t going to be Reyes because right now he has a lower value coming off the injury, so that leaves Beltran, he also said Beltran wants an extension, and the Mets are not ready to give him one, and he thinks Beltran can force a trade, so he was saying he is the likely one to go.
Then someone called to belly-ache about Joba.
If we trade beltran
we may as well trade feliciano, stokes, krod and everybody not named reyes and wright

We should limit our trades with GM's with equal or lower baseball QI than Omar
I know it really restrict the options.
I'd say Ed Wade
but he had the sense to fire Cecil Cooper today. +1 for Ed.

Johan took photos with fans in front of the number 42 .
Nice touch.
I wonder if that would have happened if the season had been a success.
except when he pitches well
then he’s a great pitcher who we need to keep around long-term
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
No one on this blog has ever said that. Ever
He is terrible, he’s always been terrible, and he always will be terrible
He sucks

K.Rod has a 3.06 ERA and he strikeouts more batters than innings pitched
He walks way too many people, but he is a good pitcher
If that 4th year
escalator kicks in though, hie is “actively hurting this team”

Are you kidding. Wow, they are scoring at an NBA pace. At least there’s Monday Night football.
Yep

Misch is the answer
if the question is “who should not be a major league starter under any circumstances?”
Why were Misch and Takahashi promoted over Bostick
in the first place? Can’t we get an answer on that?
Have we hit
3 homers in a game at home this year?
by MetsKnicksRutgers on Sep 21, 2009 7:41 PM EDT reply actions
Yeah
a game vs Philly at Citi i think it was Wright Beltran and Church

Can you imagine this scene ?
Everything starts to go wrong with the Mets (as it did in real life)….players dropping like flies everywhere…Minaya walks into the clubhouse with Tony B. as the old priest, and Adam Rubin as the young priest…..
just go to whatever team ya wanna watch
go to their SBnation blog and ask for a stream

I know this had been said many many times
But Jerry needs to go. I thought he deserved a “freebie” bc of the injuries but this team is not just a Jose Reyes/decent pitcher and a corner outfield bat away from being good. They are a world away.
How can they not be playing hard or taking a little joy in trying to spoil division rivals who have made a living out of screwing our party.
They are trying
It’s just hard to win when your rotation consists of Pat Misch, Nelson Figueroa, Tim Redding, Bobby Parnell and Mike Pelfrey
Agreed.
Going nowhere with that starting rotation….

Braves arent making the playoffs
anyway. Whats the fun in spoiling another teams playoff chances? Id rather us get as good a draft slot as possible

Just horrible
Good thing we’re still not in this race.

fuck this
i guess i’ll just watch dancing with the stars or something and wait for tom delay to humiliate himself on the dance floor

I don't like football
I’d rather see Tom DeLay, Chuck Liddell, et al make fools of themselves
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
And we sat in the Korova Milk Bar, trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening.
This would sharpen you up……and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
I can see the future.
In a display of pure genious, during the 8th inning, Jerry pinch runs Schneider for Francoeur, and pinch hits Santos for Thole. The move works as Santos hits a HR off Mike Gonzalez to make the game close (11-3)…then the epic comeback sputters out as Schneider goes behind the plate to catch Santos in the ninth and gets hit in the head by Chipper’s backswing, knocking him out cold. Jerry is then forced to use his emergency catcher, Brian Stokes who proceeds to have 14 passed balls in a row to put the game out of reach.
During the post game show, Jerry said he liked the righty on righty matchup as well as the short swing. When asked why Santos, who is a natural catcher was left to pitch the rest of the inning, Jerry said he likes the way Santos also has a short pitch in addition to his already legendary short swing. " we need more players like him who have multiple abilities "

I can imagine the conversation now...
Omar: Aroldis, what will it take for us to sign you?
Aroldis: 3 million dollars
Omar: Right… how about 4 pennies, two rocks and a piece of Big Red
Aroldis: Um, no.
Omar: Duh, stupid me. How about 5 pennies, 3 rocks, and a piece of Winterfresh
Aroldis: Goodbye
Omar: WAIT, I’LL GIVE YOU 4 ROCKS! 4 OF THEM! PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME!
the thinking is more along the lines of $50 million
or so they said this afternoon. didn’t catch the length of the contract.
metsguy234 lobby for a job for valdez on the mound today

10 bucks says parnell is back in the rotation next year

Nah
I think Niese will be in their before Parnell

by Jadden Hopkins on Sep 21, 2009 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions
If we see Parnell in the rotation next year
then it’s a foregone conclusion we’re having the same problems as this year – tons if injury to SP. There is no way he’s getting a 5th start on the rotation over others to start the year.

I just saw the Metsblog plug on SNY and it ocurred to me that
only the Mets would advertise a place that locks their own fans out.
Boo
Cerrone is kinda like
Ohio St. Surrounded by a buncha shit while the big boys are in a complete other stratosphere like the SEC (AA, MetsGeek writers). Easy to understand and look at the pros of metsblog much like ohio st. and continues to back into national championships. Kinda like cerrone continues to make an ass of himself on SNY with his wardrobe and “i mean’s”. God i hate that site

What I don't understand....
is that requirement that you have to ‘audition’ first to be able to post. If approved, you’re ‘awaiting moderation’ comments get to go through. I read many, many baseball blogs. I have never run into this anywhere other than his metsblog.
by MetsFan4Decades on Sep 21, 2009 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions
didnt you post there for a while tho?
by MetsKnicksRutgers on Sep 21, 2009 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions
All the time
Until he started playing with the format hourly, shut it down for a week, then opened up with his new auditioning policy. That was it for me.

A handful of us
started a new blog that week. It’s really good, with some very different perspective on posts. It’s a blog started by the people, for the people.
We also have a game chat too, but since it’s way smaller following right now, it’s sorta lonely over there during games so I joined here too.
by MetsFan4Decades on Sep 21, 2009 9:30 PM EDT up reply actions
I like to read
alot of baseball blogs. Found this one and enjoyed the posts. Then I realized they had a game chat on Amazin Ave so I joined here too.
by MetsFan4Decades on Sep 21, 2009 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions
Simple explanation
Matt Cerrone is an insecure d.ouche who couldn’t handle the criticism he and the Mets were getting, so he stopped it… and conversely, ripped the heart and soul out of that blog
and embarrased himself and the Mets
who are still idiots for advertising his blog on their network and giving him air time.
I often wondered
if the Mets organization who promote his blog even realized what he was doing…
by MetsFan4Decades on Sep 21, 2009 9:39 PM EDT up reply actions
Well
that was just ugly. Misch, if still on this team next year, better not be anywhere near that starting rotation.

THIS MOFO NEEDS MORE PLAYING TIME OMFGGGGG
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
MISCH-ION FAILED
The Mets should either relegate this failed starter to a relief role (a la Brian Stokes) or should just simply let him go by some means.
Legend has it, that when the full moon strikes the pitchers' mound at a Mets game, Mr. Met turns into Evil Mr. Met...
