I'm going to assume
that Tanaka said that Beltran has no marbles.

Whoever boos him...
…should be ejected from the stadium because what they’re saying is they’d rather have Jeff Francoeur.
Seriously. WTF?
Pelfrey, Niese, Dickey, Santana sure sounds like a great playoff rotation, don't it? Let's Go Mets!
For Someone that was out as long as he was he is doing great
Beltran has drove the offense the last 3 days
im pretty sure those fools know better than to come here
saying dumb things doesn’t go over well here
I like Ike, I hate Jerry
That's awesome.
If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

Also doubles as a salute to today's starting pitcher

Damn
Was trying to work on something along those lines. I’m not a quick enough thinker apparently.

There's a myriad other Dickey captions to complement this picture
by James Kannengieser on Jul 29, 2010 4:41 PM EDT up reply actions
Most likely
he was indicating the number of outs Dickey would have needed to finish a complete game.

D'oh - redundant post redundancy
Next time read all of them before posting.
blurgh! - me
Can you imagine
Dickey as a reliever, and the manager uses that move to indicate he wants Dickey to come in the game?
What's the score, boys?
What did Bugs Bunny do?
What's with the Carrot League baseball today?
c-belts needs some tough actin tinactin
HELLO HELLO MR WILPON... BUY THAT MANSION. WE DONT NEED A CONDO.
Or i'd be happy if
they make it Duda/Hessman and let Evans hit everyday in the hopes he could become more effective against righties. Also, Hessman is currently more versatile position-wise.
by dontstopbelieving on Jul 29, 2010 4:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Hessman
Has to stay on this team. He’s a replacement-level backup 3B who can also play 1B and, in a pinch, 2B.
Is it crazy to say "start him at 2B"
Total of 5 minor league games at second, but he’s played 16 games at short. That’s just about the amount of experience Tatis had when the Mets threw him out at middle IF a few times, and he didn’t embarrass himself. I think the bat is so much of an upgrade that you have to consider it.
by dontstopbelieving on Jul 29, 2010 5:43 PM EDT up reply actions
Yes
it’s pretty crazy. Tatis was a lot smaller and more agile, and he never looked like a second baseman. I’d rather not have a 6’5", 215 second baseman trying to turn the DP . . . unless it’s Dicktorino heading into second.
would you rather have Castillo trying?
I mean, whats the worse that can happen. Hessman injures himself and we’re back to sending Castillo out there?
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
not to mention Hessman would probably be a better #2 hitter
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
but can The Hess man get the Bunt down
that’s the issue
Eh, normally if you can play a good third base you can do a passable job at second
And vice versa. Sometimes just as good but we don’t really have many real world examples of a guy going fulltime from one to the other. The few that happened it has worked out pretty good.
No offense, but you're completely insane, sir.
Very few players can make the switch. The switches you see that are at least somewhat successful have been tried out extensively in nongame situations. Teams don’t simply say to Ron Santo, for instance, “hey pal, you’re our starting second baseman today.” If a player can’t handle it fairly well in extended practice, or in the offseason, or in Spring Training, you can be sure he isn’t going to find himself suddenly starting at a position in the regular season he probably can’t play unless it’s a genuine emergency.

Honestly
a good, athletic third baseman should have no problem with 2nd base. Wright would probably be fine, Ryan Zimmerman would probably be fantastic, Alfonzo was obviously awesome, etc. The problem is that a lot of guys end up at 3rd base b/c they’re not athletic enough for the middle infield, but maybe they have good arms, or they’re good hitters who are blocked at first by someone who’s even less athletic, or they’re not fast enough to be outfielders (Bobby Bonilla, Howard Johnson, Gary Sheffield, etc.). I really have no idea which one Hessman is, but a blanket “3rd basemen can’t play 2nd” is just as dumb as a blanket “3rd basemen can easily play 2nd.”

Aha!
Perhaps this picture is not in recognition of Dickey but instead, it is the international sign for “Alex Cora Sucks Balls”!

Hardcore
I guess, Beltran must of join a gang and became a thug or gangsta, when he was rehabing from his last injury
We have enough problems with players pulling muscles....
This behavior should be discouraged.
heh I'm probably in the
extreme minority here. but I think a dickey sprain would probably be the greatest reason for a DL trip ever.
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
Is there any video of that?
And did he have a cup on?
Don't think so. It was during BP.
I think he got hit above a cup area, but close enough to be seriously painful.
by MookieTheCat on Jul 30, 2010 12:35 AM EDT up reply actions
yeah reports say he blacked out from the pain a couple times
ouch
Hey, wait! I'm having one of those things. You know? A headache with pictures?

I ran into a post running across a street in Amsterdam.

Matt Capps to the Twins for their top catching prospect
Greatttt, thanks Twinkies for making the Nats better going forward.
Weird trading season this year with every trade seemingly a huge overpay or huge underpay as far as the prospect half of the trades.
And shit, if that's the going rate for good not great relievers we should deal Pedro ASAP
Yeah, I’m a tool for replying to myself.
I just figured that was his way to form his Blazing Sword

The Voltron Button is under there. He was just putting himself into auto pilot mode.

Shouldn't you be rubbing one out to a Joe Girardi poster or something?
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
by AnthonyR on Jul 30, 2010 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
Perhaps he should look to Jermaine Dye for help in that area
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
But you are nowhere near Dickey's level
NO ONE THREATENS DICKEY.

No but thanks to Mr.Simon, everyone here now is.

I do not think Beltran understood what Jerry meant when he said "Keep the pimp hand strong."

by jayball on Jul 27, 2010 5:41 PM MST
Alternatively you could just watch a FYF at-bat
A barrel of laughs. And some tears for Met fans.
