HoJo talked to the team! We should worry not now.

Hojo talked to the team eh?
so do we get no hit by Duke today?

Duke eh?
I’ll bet you our usual sum ($1) that we lose.
To follow with Trading Places.
Johan Santana = Dan Akroyd.
Zach Duke = Eddie Murphy.
I bet that today each can be transformed into the other.

I get Zach Duke and Eddie Murphy confused all the time
"I bet you'd lobby her, you horny 15 year old!" -Brooklyn Dodgers Mets Fan
How many runs will Santana give up in the first inning today?
I’m putting my money on ZERO. A long shot, but I’m feeling optimistic today.
Duke looks demonic in that picture
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
What kinds of trades can and can't be made post-deadline?
I’m still confused about other things like the diff between DFA and placing on waivers, but I can save those for another day…
any player can be traded after the deadline
but they need to clear waivers first
Hey, wait! I'm having one of those things. You know? A headache with pictures?
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 22, 2010 1:30 PM EDT up reply actions
ok, so clearing waivers means basically that nobody wants him?
if that’s the case, why wouldn’t the dodgers make a waivers claim instead (on barajas)?
they did make a claim
and we just gave him to them
"I bet you'd lobby her, you horny 15 year old!" -Brooklyn Dodgers Mets Fan
yeah in this case they're just taking on Barajas contract straight up
but if they didn’t want to take on money and wanted to give up players instead, they could have traded for him.
Hey, wait! I'm having one of those things. You know? A headache with pictures?
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 22, 2010 1:34 PM EDT up reply actions
so only one more question
why won’t anyone claim Ollie? He’s the next Sandy Koufax!
they know we'd pull him back of of waivers
no way we’d let a living legend like him go.

Thole threw out 50% of baserunners and people were stills saying he was bad at defense.

well the thing is, if we go 5-1
that might not be delusion, depending on the performance of those above us in the WC
"I bet you'd lobby her, you horny 15 year old!" -Brooklyn Dodgers Mets Fan
We can get hot and get back in to it
but I think many people don’t even want that for the long-term damage that it would probably do to the organization.
It’s freaking sad that we have to think that way, but it’s true.

Something I was thinking about last night….
The Giants game
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
Because he was directly responsible for 1 win.
Remember that Giants game that we clearly lost but he blew the call at home in the bottom of the 9th?

That pickoff attempt was too close. Reyes takes too big of a lead.
We could really use a run here – so much for that.
yeah...I mean....Pagan sees Reyes running and instead of giving him a shot at stealing 2nd....He swings.
Bad Baseball IQ there, Angel.

In the “Due Up” lineup on Gamecast, Milledge’s photo is about 3 times the size of the others, and is too big for the space allotted, so you just see him from the nose up. I have to think someone at ESPN.com has a sense of humor.

Milledge and Francouer are about equal this year.
Milledge’s OPS is about .705. In June or early July he had it up to .750 but he slumped big time after that.
let's see which is better

Translation – Gary hates Lastings – Keith likes him. Also that ball was smoked – it was not a routine fly ball.
yeah it's kind of hilarious
Gary’s jabs at players like Beltran, and Milledge, but his love for Frenchy. If Frenchy had made that same play he would have said the ball was smoked but Frenchy showed off his great defense managing to come down with it.
