Open Thread - Game 106: Mets vs. Brewers (07/31/2007) on SNY

Tale of the tape:

Glavine Suppan
ERA 4.51 5.08
FIP 5.14 4.56
K/9 4.10 4.74
BB/9 3.01 3.25
K/BB 1.36 1.46
HR/9 1.23 0.81
WHIP 1.39 1.56
GB/FB 1.11 1.29
BABIP .280 .325
eBABIP .340 .328

Que se dillio:

Carlos Beltran hit the disabled list today, Eric Gagne went to Boston, former Met Royce Ring went to Atlanta, the Mets were close on Chad Cordero but ultimately nothing happened there.

Oh, and Tom Glavine takes his first crack at career victory #300, against our old arch enemy.

Castillo
Batting second tonight.

by Eric Simon on Jul 31, 2007 7:30 PM EDT   0 recs

Good deal
Everything looks nice except for Milledge batting 8th. (And Green 6th)

I wouldn't hesitate to hit him 3rd in front of Wright.

But, we all know Willie "I like Veterans" Randolph wouldn't do that. ;)

Hmm, with all of the trade stuff, nothing here
about Pedro making his first rehab start tomorrow in Port St. Lucie? I know we still might not see him this season, but I remain optimistic. There's a pretty good article today in the NYT. The main interesting stuff had to do with his mechanics, curveball, and more info on what he was doing during his extended break in the DR, i.e. getting advice from his brother, studying video, and so on. In other words, Pedro doing lots of homework. There are good Pedro-like quotes, too. I always enjoy hearing him talk.

Pedro
I'm really excited. SNY is supposed to show his stint with St. Lucie tomorrow, which will be awesome on many levels.

First day off in seven days.
Finally get to sit and watch a Mets game, and it should be a good one to watch!

Nice hit D-Wright!

OK, I really wanted us to pound the crap
out of Suppan. But barring that, let's at least get some runs for Glavine. C'mon guys!

by Max in NJ on Jul 31, 2007 8:53 PM EDT   0 recs

Yea
The offense is stinksville tonight.

Jose, Jose, Jose!
Let's go Mets!

Supp
At least I don't think I've noticed Suppan winking at anyone. I guess it takes a Trachsel.

Tied!

Ron and Gary talking about last year's
NLCS and Suppan K'ing Valentin. At least with Castillo here, I don't think we'll ever see any more of Valentin.

by Max in NJ on Jul 31, 2007 9:33 PM EDT   0 recs

Actually, of course, with Valentin's broken leg
he probably wouldn't have been back this year anyway. I'm not missing him.

Hey!
What are you doing here?

by Eric Simon on Jul 31, 2007 10:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Don't
I was just surprised to see you. You know, like I was surprised that Castillo pop out with the bases loaded and one out, only actually surprised in this case.

Hitlist
I'm trying to make a late run up the hitlist. Including this post, I've tripled my second half output tonight!

by Blackfish on Jul 31, 2007 10:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Woot!
I'd like to see you in the top ten, even.

by Eric Simon on Jul 31, 2007 10:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Glavine
Leaves with the lead; let's hope the bullpen can hold it. I'm sure Glav-o will bite his nails down to the nubs before this one's over.

Sure wasn't pretty. But ugly don't mean ineffective.

3-6-3
What a play by Reyes. By all rights that throw should have been shooting down the by the left field sidewall.

Nothing Slider
That pitch that Turnbow K Delgado on was so bad it ended up being good.

So I used to watch everyone when they palyed with
the Tides. I am sooo bummed out that they moved to New Orleans. The Tides were my connection to the Mets.

by gersch3 on Jul 31, 2007 10:25 PM EDT   0 recs

so how is Greater Norfolk
area taking to the Orioles. Are people making the trip from Maryland/NOVA to see them like they thought?

Yet
Shawn Green manages to find a way to create an out.

yeah
I might lead a riot if Willie plays him over Milledge when Beltran comes back.

I have no idea, I have not been back to see the
Tides since the Mets left. It absolutly broke my heart. I will go back when the Zephers come up to play the Tides. So now I travel to DC to see the Mets play, if you cant beat em. Drive to DC :)

by gersch3 on Jul 31, 2007 10:31 PM EDT   0 recs

the Zephers
play in the Pacific Coast League. I don't think they'll play.
