Why does

Willie hate Lastings Milledge? Marlon Anderson is starting in center today, and Delcos says will be for the near future. I have to say, I'm puzzled.

what the fuck is going on

I posted this yesterday

Willie "I Like Veterans" Randolph likes veterans. There's no other answer.

I believe the only guys under 30 in our lineup and Reyes and Wright. Tis a shame.

this a unbelievable bad decision

no matter what Anderson does with the bat

its a ground ball...trickling... its a fair ball, its by Buckner, rounding third Knight, the Mets will win the ballgame, the Mets win!!!

Save the Mets. Impeach Willie.

No disrespect to the impeach W movement, of course.

by Simons on Aug 1, 2007 8:06 PM EDT 0 recs

ok so the wheels are coming off early

but my guess they will be staying off for awhile. Very, very bad omens here. Ollie has best stuff on the staff, but a pretty bad head

in outfield with a fly ball pitcher in. I have defended Willie over the last year or so, but this is ridiculous. He's been looking sad lately. Perhaps, it's the pain in his arm, but it's going to his head.

nice jack

Willie, open your eyes!

Castro is the man...

also

Green is a herb and should never play...

by citimetro on Aug 1, 2007 8:37 PM EDT 0 recs

Marlon!

He's always been able to provide us with a well-timed jack.

A wild one so far

I still remember Marlon's inside the park homer against the Angels, gotta love that

aka Rob

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 1, 2007 9:13 PM EDT 0 recs

this one could get messy

I was there for the inside the parker.

Shea was going N-U-T-S. I've never heard anything like it in person.

by citimetro on Aug 1, 2007 9:14 PM EDT up 0 recs

Nice

I could be wrong, but wasn't it in the 9th inning? I seem to remember some late inning heroics off K-Rod

aka Rob

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 1, 2007 9:18 PM EDT up 0 recs

yeah

1 out in the 9th, down by 1

Then Floyd won it in the with 2 out in the 10th with a long bomb after Eyechart let a run in with an error.

by citimetro on Aug 1, 2007 9:29 PM EDT up 0 recs

Thats right

I forgot about Floyds homerun. Floyd was insane in '05

aka Rob

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 1, 2007 9:32 PM EDT up 0 recs

Ollie racking up the K's

But pitch count getting up there. I'm not eager to see that bullpen again

aka Rob

I'd like to know why

Willie is actually considering bringing Mota in. Ah, but of course: Mota is a veteran, which gives him infallibility.

Now I know why

Every dog has his day, I guess...this dialogue is very hard to keep up with.

That's interesting

You don't see Rick visiting Wags on the mound much (not this year, anyway).

Put Em In the Books

Free Milledge

its a ground ball...trickling... its a fair ball, its by Buckner, rounding third Knight, the Mets will win the ballgame, the Mets win!!!

by DoctorK16 on Aug 1, 2007 11:09 PM EDT 0 recs

It seems we're all agreed on freeing

Milledge. If only we could figure out a way to impress that upon Willie. When Beltran gets back, Milledge should still be playing as much as possible, allowing Alou to rest and platooning with Green, sparing us from seeing him do those belly flops in RF. What was the deal tonight? Did he think Marlon was the better choice just because he bats lefty?

John Delcos

is reporting that Willie plans do this as regularly for the near future.

In other stuff, I shook my fist tonight

at Mother Nature. How dare she rain out Pedro's first minor league rehab start? Man, I was so psyched for it. Even just 45 pitches -- I was going to be on the edge of my seat. Oh well. I'll just have to wait for next time.
