Open Thread - Game 3: Mets vs Cardinals (04/04/2007) on SNY

First in!

Let's go Mets!

I won't be live-commenting, or whatever we call it, but I'll have the game on the radio.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

With Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, Green, and Valentin in there, I'd have to imagine we'll pound Loopy tonight. I wouldn't mind giving Alou a day off and starting Endy out there either, considering Alou is 0/12 vs Looper in his career, while Endy is 3/7. Not a big sample size but he obviously sucks vs left handers.

Start Endy tonight.

Why can't I give this comment a 4?

I'm stealing that pic, btw. Unless you promise to continue posting it on a regular basis.

"He even tried to pimp it," Floyd said. "He's got no pimp." Said Wright: "I don't even know what that means."

by Billy Everyteen on Apr 4, 2007 6:55 PM EDT up reply actions

Blooper's career split line:

vs. righties: .234/.297/.306/.603
vs. lefties: .306/.372/.464/.836

Endy sounds like a good idea tonight, especially seeing as I'd be very surprised to see him pitch his best for multiple innings.

When asked why I was a Mets fan, I responded, "pain is my lifeblood."

by wrightHOF on Apr 4, 2007 6:52 PM EDT reply actions

Also

now that I remember, Looper always grimiced this ugly ugly face before pretty much every pitch, as if he was summoning all his strength. If he had to do that for 1 inning outings, he'll probably be grunting like a female tennis player by the 3rd. He best not last much longer than that.

When asked why I was a Mets fan, I responded, "pain is my lifeblood."

by wrightHOF on Apr 4, 2007 6:54 PM EDT reply actions

Gotta meeting

Might miss the first few innings. I'm worried Mr. Met might overtake me in the game thread comments standings. Maybe I should set up a bot. I could just have it keep repeating: "Bench Shawn Green already."

Or maybe, "HAHAHA FUCK YOU LOOPER."

"He even tried to pimp it," Floyd said. "He's got no pimp." Said Wright: "I don't even know what that means."

by Billy Everyteen on Apr 4, 2007 6:58 PM EDT reply actions

Looper

I don't care about sweeping the Cards, I only care about destroying Looper today. Every opening day for the rest of my life I will remember the walk-off he gave up against the Reds two years ago. I was so happy about the whole game until that. Then I knew the season was over after game one.

One more time

OK, one more game comment thread in which we talk about Eckstein's grit. I've noticed over at Viva El Birdos, they talk about Jose Reyes being "exciting".

Now, while I love ragging on the dumb things said by baseball announcers as much as the next guy (and dwelling on Eckstein's "grit" or Reyes' "excitement" certainly can get annoying), there's one big difference between Reyes and Eckstein. Reyes is good. Heh heh!

Ease up...

I like David Eckstein. I'll take Jose Reyes over him...but you can't tell me you wouldn't like to put him at 2B, wouldn't you?

It doesn't really matter if Sele is bad

at this point. The Cards got the message. The same one the 86 Cardinals got, if I may be so bold.

Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachydermous percussion pitch.

Is there anything more beautifully symbolic of this whole series than King Albert being frozen by strike 3?

I already added the comments from the thread so that last one doesn't count, but you still had a hell of a night.

by Eric Simon on Apr 5, 2007 12:35 AM EDT up reply actions

thanks eric

i'd like to thank a steady supply of stimulants and stress hormones. also, john maine and braden looper both pitched well and i'd rather chat during a pitching duel than a blowout.

cards defense was deplorable.
