Good Luck!

awwwwwwww....someone's still in a tizzy over last year??

See-YUH!

[PD]

lets see, I am finally ready to discuss this.

I HATE these games. I can deal much better with an 8-7 loss where it is back and forth- these feelings of impending doom, and watching the opponent seemingly get every break (broken bat hits, etc) is killing me.

I pretty much figured Philly would win the first game, so if Santana wins tonight, its as I thought - it's just the HOW that's causing me to pop TUMS like ol' Davey Johnson used to.

[spadanko]

ROllins openig his mouth again

At his blog for The News Journal, Scott Lauber asked Phillies SS Jimmy Rollins about his team’s ability to come up with unexpected rallies against the Mets.

Rollins, on his motivation, as quoted by Lauber:

“The other team gives you some inspiration, let’s put it that way. You’re able to take that and keep yourself motivated.”

When asked to elaborated, Rollins responded:

“No, just watch ‘em. If you were a player and you’re looking over in that other dugout, you’ll feel a certain type of way. Rewind the game. Just watch the game.”

According to Lauber, the Phillies took offense the Mets ‘over-the-top’ celebrations, specially Jose Reyes.

Frankly, after last night’s 5-for-7 performance, Rollins can say anything he wants, but the so-called ‘over-the-top celebration’ by the Mets is played out.

If Rollins needs that to get him motivated, rather than the sheer magnitude of this series, then he needs his head examined.

[KingGeno]

Whatev about Rollins.

Personally, I don't think any baseball player that was 1 for 46 over the past month should ever open their goddamn mouth about motivation.

it just pisses me off because Victorino is just as bad with celebrations. reyes is not as abd ashe was when he was younger. rollins is the MVP he shouldn't need reyes to motivate him

[KingGeno]

I think yo uare wrong about Victorino. He is a very firey young fella. Nothing wrong with pumping fists, and yelling at your dugout to keep it going. He never taunts the other team.

Don't worry bout what Rollins is talking about.

and that is how Mets fans feel about reyes. classic example of guys you hate until they are on your team.

i am just so tired and drained from that game

[KingGeno]

and that is how Mets fans feel about reyes. classic example of guys you hate until they are on your team.

i am just so tired and drained from that game

See, I take this stance. I remember when Reyes hit a home run a few games ago against the Phils, and he ran the bases with his finger in the air, giving the Number One sign. I didn't think down upon him about that. The opposing team should use that as fuel, and start kicking asses with their bats and defense. Talking about it after the fact is weak sauce.

Reyes is an excellent player, and I'd wanna see and enjoy seeing younger players (like Reyes and Victorino) out there being excited and pumped about playing the game. Same thing about seeing a player out there being REALLY angry about not doing well. You need people like that to get your team pumped up, and I like seeing players like that regardless of team.

Then you got a guy like Pat Burrell, who is out there watching fucking strikes sail right by. All this because, to me, it seems he wants to keep his precious On Base Percentage up. A bore to watch.

I'd rather have a fiery player out there trying to stir the pot, rather than a statue going through the motions somewhat.

agreed.
I definitely though would rather see a guy run around the bases on an HR all pumped and excited than see the guy stand at home plate and vogue (Manny)

(yes, I used an old Madonna reference. so sue me)

[K.C.]

The problem between the two is that Reyes:
a) shows up his own teammates (Victorino never does that).
b) infuriates other teams (when the Marlins cited that Milledge/Reyes fiasco in the second to last game of last season as the reason they wanted to destroy the Mets on that final game, it's a problem).

I've never seen or heard anything to that effect with Vic. If Reyes handled himself like Victorino, no one would complain.

I don't think this is a world of Blowhards where everyone is calling for nine players with the Roger Maris crewcut and 1000 yard stare, void of all emotion.

Manny was a pathetic lazy jerkoff this last series agianst the Phils. I was shocked by how much he just didn't give a shit, specially with being on a new team. That guy is a douche baseball player.

reyes never showed up a team mate. the Delgado thing was blown out of proportion. he said himself he took no offense. reyes was pissed at his throw,

the miledge/reyes things was stupid shit. Milledge was moreof a problem IMHO

You're telling me when Reyes slams his glove down on the field during the middle of an inning, it's not showing up his pitcher? I've seen him do that several times.

When he refuses to leave a game after he's been told by his manager to get off the field, that it's not showing him up?


It's just stupid. If his teammates don't have a problem with it, that's fine...but it's just unnecessary. Show a little bit of class.



The other thing is more of a problem. It's one thing if the Mets were just smashing teams into the ground, but enough opposing players have said that the arrogance with which they conduct themselves pisses them off, that it's becoming a rallying point.

Hell, that was the whole basis of Rollins calling them out at the beginning of last year.

There's such a weird sense of entitlement to that team, when that haven't really won anything.

he is showing emotion. he didn't want to leave the game because he felt fine anwanted to play. he apologized for it afterwards, to the entire team and manager. But I am sure the philly papers leave out that stuff.

him slamming his glove is emotions when he messes up. i have NEVER seen him do that showing up the pitcher.

i see no sense of entitlement from them this season. Last season I could, but not this year.

and a huge problem is everyone continues to focus on last season, when the teams attitude is very different this season

b) infuriates other teams (when the Marlins cited that Milledge/Reyes fiasco in the second to last game of last season as the reason they wanted to destroy the Mets on that final game, it's a problem). .

I don't believe either of those- its all reporters.
a) the incident supposedly where Reyes showed up teammate was with a throw to Delgado; not only did Reyes say he wasn't trying to show up Delgado (he was pissed at himself), Delgado said he took no offense.

b) for all I heard of how the Marlins hate Reyes, I took a photo this year of Reyes hanging out before game with Hanley Ramirez, and it seems they are good buddys. I think all that nonsense last year was over blown.

The difference between Jose Reyes and Shane Victorino is that while Victorino is otherwise awful, Reyes is the best player at his position in baseball.

To compare the two is otherwise silly.

It's painfully obvious that the last eight or nine posts in this thread are talking about attitude.

Why would what he did as an Astro three years ago mean anything to me??


Now the meltdowns suffered by

future Hall of Famer Billy Wagner

had a direct impact on the Mets epic meltdown last year, and their play this year.


In fact, if someone can pull a Tonya Harding and hit Billy in his throwing shoulder with a crowbar to keep him on the DL the rest of the season, the Mets MAY just win this thing.

Games can be blown when they're tied. I bore witness to one particularly horrific meltdown on August 30, 2007.


As for

future Hall Of Famer Billy Wagner

browsing through the thread, I suppose you didn't say 'Billy Wagner is a Hall of Famer' directly, but you absolutely implied through arguing him as better than Trevor Hoffman, who is a lock to be voted in.

It's quite an interesting...and insane...read.

However, if you want to clear that up, I'd be more than happy to hear that you actually do believe he's NOT a hall of famer.

just rad that about Wright... damn I love that kid. Plus in the DN today, they talk about reyes starting a little league in the DR and bought all teh equipment and uniforms for the kids. People forget these 2 guys are 24/25 years old. unreal...

jsut finished 23 straight game, 16-7 during that stretch. not bad

[PD]

Well if we're sharing love, Howard and Utley are tremendous players and seem like good guys too. Would love them if i didnt hate them so much. Everyone else :thumbdown:

I agree that Utley is a tremendous player. Howard- I'm not so sure about.
He has a bit of Dave Kingman to him (although much nicer guy from what I hear).
Great HR, but misses and awful lot, and absolutely awful in the field. Delagdo has a higher VORP than Howard this year. Also, Howard isn't as young as many think.

Utley can be a HOF player- Ryan Sandberg comes to mind, but with more power.

as for Wagner/Hoffman, I too think Wagner has had a better career, but I don't put either in the HOF.
Right now I only put in Mariano as a reliever. Hoffman was good- but that doesn't make him an alltime great in my opinion; Gossage and Sutter (the last 2 relievers) were head and shoulders better.

As I said yesterday, this series went as expected -the 1st game was a more painful loss than I would have liked, but its the same in the standings as any other loss.

right now, Cubs >>> any other team. My biggest concern for this weekend is the Marlins seem to have Pelfrey's number.

[KingGeno]

If only Ryan Howard gained an eye for low and outside pitches.... That's all ya need to beat him. It's his achillies.

I cant lie, I dont mind David Wright. Although he is greatly overrated on defense, that isnt his fault, and he seems like a good kid. Jose Reyes, on the other hand, just seems to be a cocksucker. No idea why, but he comes off to me as a real dickbag

[hammersavage]

Ughhhhhh...enough of these 'kinder, gentler Mets' stories!

Just to break the "love", as hammer puts it: Mets fans are homo butts.

:thumbup:

I never said such a thing!

[PD]

things I never thought I'd say
"Maybe Delgado is the MVP this season".
check out this from metsblog.com
During last night’s come from behind win versus the Phillies, Carlos Delgado was 3-for-4 with 2 HR and 3 RBI.

Delgado, on putting the team on his back, speaking with reporters after the game:

“That wasn’t the plan. It wasn’t the way we scripted it, but it worked out that way. We stayed close. We came up with a couple hits and Murphy came up with a big hit. You play against these guys, you’ve got to keep it close. It’s a big win for us to bounce back from a game like yesterday. We’re all happy.”

On coming back after a tough loss:

“It shows we have a lot of character here and we have short term memories. Last night was a tough loss, but we were able to put that behind us and come back an play. That’s important, if you lose a game or two and start worrying about that you’re going to be in trouble.”

Delgado, on fighting the demons of last September:

“Whatever happened last year, it happened and we put it behind us. We are in a different frame of mind. We’re not thinking about September of 2007, we’re thinking about going out and playing good baseball right now.”

Since June 27, Delgado leads the National League with 19 HR and 58 RBI, while hitting .310.

As Keith Hernandez mentioned during SNY’s broadcast last night, it’s time for Delgado to be mentioned in National League MVP conversation.

As I said in last night’s postGame, Delgado winning the MVP would have a lot of people eating crow, if they’re not already.

I never thought I would say that I miss Billy Wagner ... but this bullpen is making me realize that in the grand scheme of things we were pretty lucky to have him. The uneasy feeling I had when he was on the mound is nothing compared to what I feel nightly with a lead. Please get this last out Ayala.

[NickyL0885]

a 5-2 lead its now 5-4. ALL WE NEED IS 1 FREAKING OUT!!! :wallbash:

Last night's game we probably lose last year.

It looks like Beltran is right to start one of those home run tears he goes on. My guess is he gets close to 30.

Oh, now I'm the Cunt?

Say what you will ... but we'd be watching a no-no if it weren't for you Jinxy!

[BeerBandit]

Too good to be true. Come on Pelf, get this last out.

[Chip196]

this is anxiety-producing.

I don't think it would be the Mets if it were done easily.

[BeerBandit]

Too good to be true. Come on Pelf, get this last out.
I've spent 25 years playing the quiet game with no results. I figured I'd try something different.

Maybe before Johan's next start I'll sacrifice my cat.

[Friday]

I don't think it would be the Mets if it were done easily.

yeah... i know.
but i plan on sending them a bill when my liver fails from all the drinking they drive me to.

[BeerBandit]

Mookie Wilson is getting all of his Met records rewritten. I feel so sad. He was the inspiration for my first nickname as a kid.

well ... that Phillies fan said "I didn't know Jesus was a Mets fan" when he saw you walking by ... maybe you should take up Carpentry and we'll call you Jesus.

[Chip196]

yeah... i know.

I've done my best to avoid drinking during games for that reason. I'll send them the bill for my stent when that happens.

Liver, Schmiver. My family tree is riddled with Heart Disease. Too many of the bullpen blowups and I'll be dead by 40.

[BeerBandit]

well ... that Phillies fan said "I didn't know Jesus was a Mets fan" when he saw you walking by ... maybe you should take up Carpentry and we'll call you Jesus.
Except I've cut all my hair off since that Phillie game. Unless Jesus was a Hare Krishna, the resemblance is lost.

will start tuesday against milw

[K.C.]

Been watching some of this game today.

Pedro got through six, but I would think he's out after this last inning.

Jerry Manuel's got to get nine outs from the pen.

Who the hell does he go to down there??



Of course, tacking on runs makes that a slightly easier decision...

[hammersavage]

I wanted to go shit in the Phils thread but i can't waste #1,000 on those ham 'n' eggers.

[PD]

as boondock said, he's not your ordinary lefty, but the main reason he's pitching is with Maine out, they need the start. Would I have preferred a healthy John Maine vs the Brew Crew? sure, but that's not an option. Better to have a good looking lefty than a retread righty.


Tomorrow will bring a number of extra arms to the Met pen; hopefully some (Parnell, Kunz in his 2nd go 'round) will help.

[hammersavage]

good question. best i can do.

"If a player is on the 40-man roster but not on the active major league roster, he is said to be on optional assignment—his organization may freely move him between the major league club and the minor league club. If a player is on the 40-man roster and not the active 25 man roster for any part of more than three seasons, he is out of options and may not be assigned to the minors without first clearing waivers. However, if a player has less than 5 years of professional experience, he may be optioned to the minors in a fourth season without being subject to waivers. If a major league player is ineligible for free agency and "has options" remaining, his team may option him to a minor league team without consequence. This is usually what is meant when players are "sent down" to the minors. Likewise, when a player on the 40-man roster is added to the active major league roster, he is "called up" to the majors."

a lovely start ... come on Johan ... wake up!

[cougarjake13]

damn the innerwebs


wfan wont stream the game


i tried the milw station but you get a guy that talks over uecker that keeps saying that cant stream the game due to contractual obligations

i can hear the play by play but its annoying to hear the other guy talking over him every 5 seconds

And it wasn't just Santana. Bullpen showed something and it wasn't the callups, Smith and Ayala impressed in particular. Brewers bullpen on the other hand.......

Can't wait for Neise tomorrow. Anything positive is ten-fold considering the spot he's in. Good luck to the kid.

Nice win, and the unexpected pleasure of Nats beating the Phils.
Brewers are damn good; I'm hoping for 2 of 3, and this first one helps.

[hammersavage]

Feliz in left?

Shit, i'm scoreboard watching a bit too hard. Tatis it is....

[Towelie]

I'm excited to see Niese tonight, but man is he getting thrown to the lions.

Good thing we got that 2 game cushion back yesterday, cause throwing a rookie into Miller Park against that lineup while the Phillies are playing the Nats (I understand they are smoking hot but its the Nats) doesn't bode well for us tonight.

Manny ' don't call me Garcia' Para.

Sorry..

Manny Parra (10-6, 4.00 ERA, 1.49 WHIP)

Thats just mean spirited. He got traded for a great pitcher, its not like he snubbed you and went there as a FA. He had no choice.

Yea, but i hear it as Chris Berman in my head, and it automatically makes it less funny...

i know but it makes the deal much sweeter if our former players that we gave up sucked ass

[Towelie]

Yeah I liked Humber a lot. Coincidentally he beat out Kevin Mulvey for the callup.

I always wish the prospects the best. Well maybe not Kazmir since I knew how good he was going to be and I knew what a disaster that trade was

[PD]

I agree with Kevin here.
Yeah, as long as Santana keeps pitching like a #1, I would not be upset if the prospects the twins got are good. If anything, it also sticks it to all of those "experts" who said Mets prospects were lousy.

[spadanko]

Yeah I liked Humber a lot. Coincidentally he beat out Kevin Mulvey for the callup.



agreed. Hope Humber does well

[BeerBandit]

Ok, first start for Mr. Niese. Tough assignment with this lefty-killing Brew-has.

[BeerBandit]

oh boy

[hammersavage]

settle down kid. just have fun. not a must win so just relax.

(Jerry should be saying this to him right now)

[BeerBandit]

He's got a nice off the table curve, but it almost looks like he telegraphs it.

[PD]

took a lot of pitches, but he put it away.

[hammersavage]

this team always has an answer lately. let's keep it up. you got a lead now kid, settle in.

[BeerBandit]

Beltran!!!!!!!!!!!

(In the absence of Cougar)

That one was almost as bad as when he got caught trying to steal 3rd against Houston.

yeeesh.

yeeesh indeed but the guy can pitch for my team anyday. he probably shouldn't be pitching, frankly, but he fighting through an obvious injury when we need him.

[spadanko]

Great Fucking Win!!!

[Friday]

yeeesh indeed but the guy can pitch for my team anyday. he probably shouldn't be pitching, frankly, but he fighting through an obvious injury when we need him.

Def a great win. Niese has some awesome stuff. I love that curve. Its filthy. Perhaps hes a better version of Barry Zito? Time will only time. Beltran is finally heating up, thank the lord. Wright needs to start hitting though. Man cant hit anything lately.







btw Buddays. We are all friends here. Do me a quick favor an check out my MLB blog. I want to get some traffic on it and im tryin to think of ways to spread the word. I will talk about any news, injuries, pre-view series, teams in the off season.

hmmm thats a good question they just asked. If you had to pick one, who would you rather have back Ollie or Delgado. Id have to pick Ollie. I feel they can just put Murphy and Evans at 1st. Niese is maybe a year away, so you need ollie.

[Towelie]

At the beginning of the year I saw Ollie getting somewhere in the neighborhood of Roy Oswalt money (5/75)

I think thats just about where he'll fit in this offseason, but Sabathia is going to blow up the market for sure

[Towelie]

Mr. Scott Boras..the devil himself. And we know how well Mr. Boras bamboozles, I mean makes deals for high quality lefties like Barry Zito...

Its not Scott Boras' fault someone was stupid enough to give Barry Zito 126 million.

Boras does his job and he's the best at doing it in any sport in the world.

Since coming to the Brewers' he's averaged 111 pitches a start...The Brewers don't care about long term health because their long term with CC ends after this season.

I wouldn't give him the type of money Santana is making.

[BoondockSaint]

Sabathia will get more than Santana.

[Towelie]

Thank you Nationals.

So at the very least going into the 3 game set with the Phillies we're going to be 2.5 up and hopefully 3.5 up

Well thats what ESPN has lined up for Sunday.

It would be stupid for them to not to at this point, he's missed us by one game I think the last 3 series.

Especially since the first 2 games of the series favor the Mets, I can see them pushing Hamels for the Sunday game

Saturday may be no Pedro or rained out.

[Towelie]

The Phillies confirmed that Cole Hamels will come back and start on four days' rest against the Mets on Sunday.
It was an easy call, though Hamels wouldn't normally have been scheduled to pitch until Monday because of an off day Thursday. Kyle Kendrick will be pushed back a day.

phils have off mon the 15th and thurs the 25th and then sept 29 and 30th

yeh they've been saying that since a-rod went to the yanks

[Towelie]

The quest for 4,000,000 is getting close.

Right now we have gotten 3,301,543 tickets sold.

We're averaging 50,792 per game with 16 left at home

So that would be 812,672 and it should push us over 4,000,000 on the year.

I assume that average will only rise too, since we have 3 with Philly left at home, four with the Cubs

The last series of the year will definitely be sold out too.

Pretty incredible for a team that 10 years ago barely broke 2 million and 14 years ago barely broke a million.

Plus the fact the season will be sold out before the team even steps on the field probably.

I swear to god the Mets better take at least 1 of the first two games. I do not want to listen to those white trash Philly fans talk about how the hOpe the Phillies sweep while Im at the Eagle game

I think Newsday now refers to the Mets as "Team Tightrope" which is perfect.
