Can Barajas get the ball back to Ollie, please?
Ollie has enough to worry about without having to dive all over the place for the return throw.
I know, right? lol

um, Ollie four inning no-no
if he had gone one more he would have given up four runs.

Baby steps. I’ll take any improvement from Ollie.

I'll gladly settle for Good Ollie/Bad Ollie
as opposed to Bad Ollie/Worse Ollie

Yup
B/c good Ollie/bad Ollie won 15 for us back in 2007.

Nah, he owes us for last year ....
I’ll take Good Ollie/Not so bad Ollie.

Ollie wins more than 15, we should be in good shape with him.

Hey, Glider
Been over reading all winter, but not much commenting.
Spent the off season debating with my fellow Met fans over on The Real Dirty Mets Blog

Ok
Cool. Now you’re rested for the real season!

He looked pretty decent today.
No hits, two walks (two in the third, back-to-back), was constantly throwing 90, 91, and supposedly got it as high as 93 (I think that was in the first or second).

Sounds good to me.
(Please God, if you can hear me, don’t be playing any more cruel jokes on us.)
"Never throw a slider to The Glider."
- Ed Charles, No. 5
Yeah, I'll take it.
When he walked those batters, he was throwing in that weird pseudo-sidearm motion that he sometimes goes to (for some reason) that always gets him in trouble. Wright came in to talk to him, and he was still doing it, but he got a fly ball to end the inning. The next inning, if I remember right, he was throwing “normal” again.

Yeah...
on the side-arm motion … I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember, but Jerry Koosman had this slick side-arm motion he’d go to occasionally against lefties and got all this extra movement on both his fast ball and curve ball. It was a great weapon for Koos. The thing is, I guess, Koosman had better control of his mechanics and was probable more mentally tough, if that’s the right wording, compared to Ollie, who seems to get distracted and out of sorts at times.

Can't say I've ever really noticed from watching the "old-time" clips of him, or whatever (not old enough to have seen him live or anything)
But, yeah, Perez is no Koosman. If he was, holy crap, I wish. That’s the problem with the front office- they think he can be Koosman.

Ike
He homered off this lefty Oliver in the AFL.
Yes,
I know – was gonna correct and just took it back since Wright just hit a HR. LOL
by MetsFan4Decades on Mar 13, 2010 2:52 PM EST up reply actions
wow -
Burhardt: ’it’s HR city. Bay hits the 4th in the inning’.

Damn, I can't watch the game here in Philly
Who’s pitching for us?
"Never throw a slider to The Glider."

Ollie pitched 4 scoreless
Takahashi pitched 3 scoreless.
Top of the 8th and Mejia in.

8th inning guy
Gangsta.

Crap, I just missed Mejia...

Mejia gave up a run, and Ike Davis struck out.
They are both bums and should be traded.
On a serious note…..I wasn’t watching when we scored 9….was it against scrub pitchers,?
you know what I'm sayin' ?
Oh, good. Mejia is pitching a second inning.

And he ...
Just threw a 96 mph fastball

96???? Woo hoo
… and it’s only ST. Please God, don’t let the Mets screw this kid up. Thank you.

Wow...This is the first time I caught Mejia on the TV.
Wow is all I can really say. That was, maybe, the most beautiful curveball I’ve seen thrown by a Mets pitcher that I can recall seeing live in my life.

Was it Gooden-like?
"Never throw a slider to The Glider."
- Ed Charles, No. 5
It was pretty damn close.
He threw two: one in the dirt, and one that seemed to rise to the letters, and drop to the knees for a strike.

Mejia was so dirty
Honestly, I am considering some sort of rally in an attempt prevent the Mets from screwing this arm up.
Trying to believe is my full-time occupation.
An idea:
We kidnap him. Venezuelan baseball is over, so I’m sure Josh Thole’s bodyguards have been released. No one would expect it.

Didn't you know?
Venezuela is actually a very nice place and if you take precautions against kidnapping, you’re a xenophobe or something. At least that’s what I heard from “anonymous” on here a while ago.

I've been to Venezuela, and this is not so.
Got into an argument with a “cop” ( a 19 year old kid with a machine gun ), because he was harrassing a lady who was a hotel employee. He knew who she was, but he insisted on seeing her permit to work. She kept telling him “how many days in a row are you going to put me thru the same crap”…..I stayed quiet observing the whole argument unfold in Spanish, and when I had enough I intervened speaking in spanish ( I am Cuban ). THe kid must have assumed I was an american tourist ( a gringo ) , and when he heard me talk in spanish he turned pale and walked away, but not before he told the poor woman, OK we’ll talk later….
Later I found out he wanted her to give him a percent of the money she made in exchange for leaving her alone, aka extortion. When I asked her why she let this go on, her answer was, they are all the same…the guys with the guns.
you know what I'm sayin' ?
by fxcarden on Mar 13, 2010 5:16 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
you know, this is pretty childish
I explicitly said that Thole’s girlfriend would be reasonable to take precautions about where she went, or even get a security guy to accompany her if she were feeling endangered. What I objected to was the ludicrous paranoia of staying holed up in the hotel room the whole time. Are you seriously saying taking that the elevator to the fucking hotel lobby is like asking to be in the next Black Hawk Down? Air your nonsense someplace else, and leave me out of it.
Seriously, be more dramatic.
If that’s possible.
