Do you like this story?
Comments
for those who dont check espn metsblog regularly, these are upsetting
It would be logical to start Beltran the first 3 games
and then rest him Sunday, that way Frenchy doesn’t face a righty
Jerry is an idiot though, so I fully expect Francoeur vs Cain on Saturday
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
if you dont want the 3 straight games
I like Ike
well then the plan i suggest works
like syler said, i just really dont think frenchy v cain is a smart idea
I like Ike
Pagan will probably play in place of Bay one game.
that would make it work.
One day, this team is going to kill me.
well, would you rather bench Pagan ?.
Bay doesn’t need to play every game, especially the way he has been.
Then again, neither does Francoeur, but this is the Mets, and Frenchy is a good clubhouse guy, etc.
One day, this team is going to kill me.
Yeah I think you caught my drift midway thru your post
Frenchy needs to be shown the door. Screw it, put Carter in if Beltran needs a day off.
so Francoeur would only play against lefties
and then Pagan would actually play more than Francoeur.
So far today......
survived the 3rd round of layoffs so far this year at my job.
survived the appearance of a monster black bear in my back yard.
now…..if Dickey delivers, and Beltran belts, this day will be a win.
One day, this team is going to kill me.
not really
some very dear friends (some of whom I hired) are now unemployed, and I had to give them the bad news.
One day, this team is going to kill me.
God, I missed game threads
this is my first year on SB. I’m hooked.
It's a game of redeeming features. ~ Bob Murphy
i just missed mets games
all star break is the worst
I like Ike
I think of the AS break
as the New Year’s Day of the sports year. NFL camps open in a couple of weeks, then the dog days, pennant races, Labor Day, NFL opener, etc. It all starts getting real now.
It's a game of redeeming features. ~ Bob Murphy
nice
except on new years day, you can watch some basketball games
I like Ike
not me
I’m a hockey and football maniac…it’s Winter Classic and bowl games all day!
It's a game of redeeming features. ~ Bob Murphy
wasnt sure if those games were on too
just meant there were actual sports to watch
I like Ike
right, which is why I divide the sports year in two at the All-Star break
it’s a dead period in the middle
It's a game of redeeming features. ~ Bob Murphy
Who's in the
Winter Classic this year?

Sheesh, every Sunday Game of the Week always involves the Penguins, Flyers, Red Wings, Capitals or Rangers. Can I get some variety?

I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
i couldnt remember
usually dragged through family crap
I like Ike
jerry just told eddie c he posted the lineup with jose in it thinking he was fine
then rey ramirez told him he shouldnt play
I like Ike
"thinking" he was fine ?
you mean, as in…..he didn’t ask him ?.
I……can’t……..find……….the……..words

I only have one major beef.
When someone gets injured in Franchise Mode, if you ‘auto utilize’ them, it fucks up ALL of the lineups you presumably spent entirely too long tinkering with. STUPID.
all baseball games do this
the last baseball game i got wont let me double switch, so if the show does that then it is a win.
I like Ike
Lately, I've only been using road to the show as a pitcher. So much fun.
Trying to get myself to the Show in queens.
My only beef is I begin to think I’ve actually pitched in professional baseball and start “back seat pitching”
Ryan Miller was the true MVP.
I can not describe my anger for why Jose was not on the DL before the all star game
he did nothing batting righty the whole time.
Beltran's first game back being a west coast game
sucks ballz
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
If Reyes was leading off and Pagan second
this would be a damn good lineup

It's a game of redeeming features. ~ Bob Murphy
this is kind of funny, look at the top 3
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/who-do-the-players-find-overrated/
doesnt someone have to be considered good to be overrated?
I like Ike
I mean,
Gar Matthews Jr is on the overrated list so there are some exceptions.
"I want to win now, not 3 years from now. That's my stance." - Kevin Burkhardt
thats what i mean
also, as they say, joba is just a middle reliever
I like Ike
Empty Roberts and Joe Bonobo
were talking about this list on WFAN today. I was a passenger, thus a captive listener
It's a game of redeeming features. ~ Bob Murphy
Nope,
they also had this “sabermetric showdown” with one of the writers from TYU. It left a lot to be desired IMO.
"I want to win now, not 3 years from now. That's my stance." - Kevin Burkhardt
Underwhelming for both the radio guys and the TYU guy
TYU guy called WAR “wins over replacement”, Joe and Evan were like “why isn’t it WOR then?”

No actually
he’s a much better hitter than Tejada. I approve of his return.
http://www.doublebobbyjones.com/ -Double Bobby Jones: a Mets blog
I agree
Tejada is probably a step or 10 better defensively, but Ruben is a black hole offensively
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
castillo is just a grey hole
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
i just want a real 2B
not a cora, tejada or slappy. tejada can be backup
I like Ike
Yeah...I agree
As mentioned in the newfangled Blackberry thread, a replacement level player is still an upgrade over a sub-replacement player.
Just curious, didn't Joe Bingo or some one like him on SNY
“take on " saber metrics yesterday? Anyone see it?
Ryan Miller was the true MVP.
Steve
“From Bayside” was on today…should be on the FAN site

No Jerry.....
it’s not reasonable to expect Beltran to start slow like Jose did.
Jose was shut down for several weeks and played just one week before the season started. Beltran has been playing on a regular basis for a month now.
One day, this team is going to kill me.
also, Beltran wasn't out a year

There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
If we make a deal for a guy like Lilly or Westbrook, it's more about pitching depth
Because now, we literally have Gee and Ollie to back up if any of our starters get hurt. That could be rough. They pick up some #4 starter, move Tak to the pen and have him make the emergency starts.
I mean he'd be an
upgrade over Takahashi at least.

Your point though is why I would try to use him in a trade for a 2b and reliever because we have a pretty good LF in Buffalo in Lucas Duda
no one wants him
his original team was planning on dfaing him. he has virtually no value.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
duda is not a pretty good lf
his bat might play, but he’s going to be a first basemen or a DH.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
His defense is average
Bad range, fantastic arm. Not nearly enough to make up for having the worst bat in the outfield.

-3.9 UZR/150 in RF. So his defense is not as great as people think it is.

well he's the one who's made it public knowledge
about how important his legacy and becoming a global icon is. And then he turns around and destroys it. And the team mates making advances to his mom is an old urban legend, google it, the same story has popped up like 20 times in the last 20 years.
He’s also the one who let his friends run rampant in Cleveland and demanded they make most of the awful win now moves that have left the team in shambles. And who went on a free agent tour despite the fact that the everyone to Miami thing had been planned for over a year.

if you are going to take less money for a team and championship

Plus he kind of sucks.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
???? how
he’s literally one of the worst defenders in the league. Averages more turn overs than assists, has a below average rebound rate, for a pf, shoots well below average from the field for a pf, and has virtually no outside shot so he doesn’t have the excuse of being a stretch 4, he really doesn’t do anything at all well.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
he didn't even really take less
there’s no income tax in Florida, the contract is only worth about 7 million less than the max. I imagine he more than makes that back with no tax.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
i also read this on ESPN, so couldnt be sure

The Unintentionally sexual quote of the game should definitely be when Keith said
“Dickey about to go a strong 7 and looking to go deeper.” I mean, was that on purpose?
Oh, Jerry...
Christ hes terrible. I mean yeah the bats were owned by Lincecum, but man, Jerry really made sure we weren’t going to win tonight; if we had a competent manager it might have been 1-1 or still 1-0 heading to the 9th. But no, lets bunt with Dickey (that was gold) and bring in Dessens, the dude with peripherals who scream for implosion, instead of a more reliable arm like Parnell for the 8th! And then the smaller things like batting Cora 2nd (why not Thole? Fuck the 7-8-9 hitters, put your best guys at the top) and making Beltran attempt a stolen base when the heart of the order was up (again, why? With 2 outs and, say, Tejada up — okay, I suppose .. but in that spot, with Davis up, and 1 out? Its sort of an inning killer.)
Being 5 games back blows, regardless of how ‘early’ it is, but I could care less about the division title anyway. Just get in the playoffs and I’ll be very happy.

9 runs scored, past 6 games
It’s never as good as it seems during a winning streak nor as bad during a losing streak, but I can’t comprehend how this offense can be so bad. Pagan and Wright are having great years, Ike has been solid, even Bay’s OBP is manageable. Jose had his great stretch after getting healthier. Somehow we just don’t score runs, and that’s the way it has been all year. Cora/Castillo/Tejada are such negatives in the order, barajas/blanco is pretty bad offensively, and with Francoeur, it was like 3 sub .300 OBP’s and a pitcher. I think we’ll be alright with Beltran back, but we need some serious upgrades offensively at catcher and 2B. Thole needs more starts, initially I was down with Ruben, but with this weeeak lineup we can’t afford his useless bat in the order,
Just remembered...
The other night when I saw Wright was tied for the RBI lead. I was amazed.
by MookieTheCat on Jul 16, 2010 12:51 AM EDT up reply actions
I think they really miss that Reyes jolt at the top of the lineup
they aren’t the same team without him getting on base, scoring runs and playing good D. The team has lots of guys get hot for periods (frenchy, Barajas, Ike) but if they wanna stay in it, there is one guy that has not done his part. Yeah, I’m talking to you: Jason K
The real turning point
was when Jerry pulled the double sacrifice in the 5th, couple that with Thole lighting a fire by hitting Lincecum and that was basically it
Thole almost took his head off
with a line drive up the middle.
