The D-Backs

are something like 13-36 on the road, and they have lost 7 straight since they swept the Mets.

That is all.

One day, this team is going to kill me.

We've lost our last 3 home series to them, so it wouldn't be a shock

Possibly the dumbest Mets-related article I've seen this season...

http://www.baseballdigest.com/2010/07/27/manuel-deserves-to-finish-the-season/

I think Shaya Tenenbaum really needs to look for another topic to write about. This is so off-base it’s incredible. I think you can get the gist of the article from the URL but read it and be amazed. SMH

by MookieTheCat on Jul 30, 2010 6:40 PM EDT reply actions  

Some actual, real, not intended as snarky quotes...

“Manuel’s in-game managing leaves him open to many second guesses; staunch managing by "the book" has left Jerry answering many difficult questions in the post-game press conferences. However, the club has been inordinately streaky this season. Just as soon as the team seems to be staggering, it regains equilibrium.”

“While Manuel was not in the dugout for the victory against St. Louis due to a suspension, Jerry should be on the bench so long as there’s a playoff opportunity.”

“Jerry deserves more than that for the job he’s done this season. Manuel has earned the right to finish this season, or, at least, until all hope is lost.”

Have to win this series

A sweep would obviously be preferential, but the Mets can’t afford a series loss to such a woeful DBacks team.

You know what it seems to me?

Keyser Soze is behind this year’s deadline moves. Think about it: a bunch of deals that seems unrelated and make no sense, where each party seems not to know who he is dealing for, but there is an overarching sense of pure weirdness.

Indeed.

The guy next to me once caught a ball. I was 12 about maybe 5 feet. He was about 6’7". Sad.

Bar exam is over, meaning that I can waste more time on AA than I have been. Which is also kinda sad.

Kennedy could be tough to score against in Citi

anyone mention this on this site?
The Mets’ philosophy continues to be to try to find a pitcher — starter or reliever — liked by their scouts who is currently having a bad year…One pitcher the Mets have discussed internally is Texas’ Rich Harden, who is due about $3.5 million between what is left on his 2010 salary and his 2011 buyout. Harden was 3-3 with a 5.68 ERA before going on the DL with a glute injury.

But from what I can see it looks not good for ole Jeffy. Losses of private funds are one thing, misuse of retirement plan funds is another, especially if 92% is invested with one person. Lack of diversification is a fairly easy road to breach of fiduciary duty charges. Of course I don’t know the details but…

I haven't really been following a lot of these trades recently, I'v been busy,

But we pretty much could have gotten Haren, Oswalt, Berkman and Wil Ramos for like Pelfrey, Feliciano and a bunch of non prospects?

Essentially

I was offended that Dipoto cited Saunders winning % as a reason why he moved Haren.

not a real reason. The Edwin Jackson trade was decidedly better so it’s possible they’ll flip Saunders, which was what was originally reported, to a team that way overvalues him.

He's flawed.

His power is limited by his home park. He’s limited against righties, particularly ones with great fastballs. His arm is weak and his defense is declining.

That’s not even taking into account crap like, “he never gets a big hit.”

by TWilliAM on Jul 30, 2010 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

his power is limited to his home park?

And limited against righties? he hits above average against them and mashes lefties. And dude take a look at splits nearly every players power is limited to their home parks, because most guys alter their swings to fit the stadium they play 50% of the games they play. This is especially true of players who play in quirky parks.

What 4-6 WAR players don’t get overpaid, or at least paid big, on the open market? And what other type of players, that this front office would realistically target, would put us over the edge.

And I do think on 6 WAR type player would put us over the edge. We’re likely to finish around 84 wins with the crap we’ve been running out this year. You don’t think a full year of Beltran, likely a better year from Bay, and mostly everything else remaining the same with Cliff Lee would win around 90?

heres the problem i'm having

this is pretty much the best roster we’re going to have and the team is mediocre. Arguably we got lucky with emergence of Dickee, Neise, Pagan, and Davis making up for shit off season planning. Outside of 2nd b and the rotation, where can we improve without losing some pieces?

not know what to expect from Pelf. not really know what to expect from Dickey, though i have high hopes. need to upgrade 2B greatly. need to upgrade the bench greatly for when someone inevitably gets injured, which brings up the point of us needing to have full healthy seasons from jose and beltran. we would need a similar season from pagan. and we would need to figure out how to put a pen together that we can rely on. also, we really couldnt be sure of what to expect from davis or niese, though i have high hopes. and jason bay improving is no guarantee

and this doesnt address the fact that we will have an upper limit on our payroll

and who knows what that is. if it increased to 170 mil, then yeah cliff lee better be a part of that, but who knows if that is possible. it doesnt seem likely

by astromets on Jul 30, 2010 7:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

The lt is already at 170

so will probably be somewhere near 185-190 next year. And there’s really no reason they shouldn’t be willing to spend up to the lt. Plus it would only be one year until Perez at least was off the books, and Castillo, and if they pull their heads out of their asses K-rod.

from Wikipedia:

Drummer Steve Smith extolled Starr’s qualities beyond the technical, in terms of his musical contribution as drummer:
" Before Ringo, drum stars were measured by their soloing ability and virtuosity. Ringo’s popularity brought forth a new paradigm in how the public saw drummers. We started to see the drummer as an equal participant in the compositional aspect. One of Ringo’s great qualities was that he composed unique, stylistic drum parts for The Beatles songs. His parts are so signature to the songs that you can listen to a Ringo drum part without the rest of the music and still identify the song.2 "

Phil Collins, the drummer for Genesis, who was himself influenced by Starr, said:
" Starr is vastly underrated. The drum fills on the song “A Day in the Life” are very complex things. You could take a great drummer today and say, ‘I want it like that.’ He wouldn’t know what to do.5152 "

In September 1980, John Lennon had this to say about Starr:
" Ringo was a star in his own right in Liverpool before we even met. He was a professional drummer who sang and performed and had Ringo Star-time and he was in one of the top groups in Britain but especially in Liverpool before we even had a drummer. So Ringo’s talent would have come out one way or the other as something or other. I don’t know what he would have ended up as, but whatever that spark is in Ringo that we all know but can’t put our finger on — whether it is acting, drumming or singing I don’t know — there is something in him that is projectable and he would have surfaced with or without the Beatles. Ringo is a damn good drummer.53

valdes has been pitching over his head for a while now..he definitely doesn’t have overwhelming stuff as his numbers (before tonight’s game) seem to suggest. For a guy that’s normally is percieved to be all about the ‘feel’, Jerry really does look into numbers too much. Pelfrey should’ve finished off that inning, and if not, at least have faced the next batter. I honestly think that that little 15 year old girl can manage this team better than Jerry

by MookieTheCat on Jul 30, 2010 9:37 PM EDT reply actions  

I was literally about to ask the same thing.

Blanco out for Thole, which I assume is used to inject additional pop into the lineup, as Blanco is regarded generally as a better defensive character, except, you do it after you substituted Blanco out for Carter…for the same reason.

Except Carter isn’t a catcher…is batting 200 in his past 10 games, and you’ve essentially wasted a bench spot bat with decent pop for…a bat with decent pop…

Just put Thole in.

Seemed like more than that to me. It could have just been the awfulness of those losses magnified their importance. Also, I would argue that Ollie lost us more than the 4 games he pitched. He lost us games that Tak pitched as well, for if he were decent Tak would have been in the BP where he belonged.

Some other moves too

Replace the Ollie/Maine starts with a Joel Pineiro type (he’s hurt now but had a 4 ERA through 130 IP, for $8 million). That’s +3 wins. It’s not a guaranteed championship but it’s definitely an improvement. And these aren’t complicated things — who didn’t see the Ollie/Maine problem coming into this season? And passing on Felipe Lopez and Kelly Johnson for peanuts because Castillo is still around.

by James Kannengieser on Jul 30, 2010 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't like this +X wins thing.

It loses sight of the team effort. Maybe it should be phrased as “if we got a good second basemen we would not have an automatic out and would thus have…” Oh fuck it.

shouldn’t we be aiming for better than 2nd place in the WC?

Also, arguably Ollie/Maine have been LUCKily replaced by DicksterNiese. Who would have thought Omar would get that lucky?

Dammit I just lost a longer response

To sum — Dickster has been a shocker but Niese has about met expectations, maybe slightly exceeded. He has a 4.11 FIP, preseason projections had him at 4.04-4.23.

We should be aiming higher, I agree. I think those small upgrades are a part of that though. Adding a win or two for cheap, while still spending big on stars because this team has the $$.

of competition with Frenchy, Ollie, Nieve etc, yet Cora is way behind

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

(click to embiggen)
Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
