New York Mets 2007 Season Thread

[BeerBandit]

Chan Ho Park was pulled after 3 innings today so that he can pitch on Monday.
I guess Pelfrey's our #5. Congrats to Willie and Rick for doing the right thing.
Now let's get Milledge in right instead of Green and I'll be impressed with this team.

[BoondockSaint]

Agreed. Pelfry may start in the minors because they don't need a fifth until the 15th so that's fine. They can carry Milledge as an extra and see what he does. And I hope he shines and they cut Green.

It just sucks that Green is the one who's gotta go instead of Alou. If Milledge succeeds Green the lineup loses a lefty. At least Green's shown a bit of power. I know it's only spring but Alou has sucked royally.

[BoondockSaint]

Fuck. Milledge just left the game after being hit on the hand with a pitch. pleasedon'tbebrokepleasedon'tbebrokepleasedon'tbeb roke

[BeerBandit]

Pelfrey named 5th starter. (http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070325&content_id=1859150&vkey=spt2007news&fext=.jsp&c_id=nym)

It's official. But like you said, Boondock, they'll probably keep em down 'til the 15th to carry an extra bat.

And Milledge should be fine. Just a contusion on his pinky.
Just over 6 days! :clap:

Horray .... Monday morning good news! Give the kids a shot. Any thoughts of platooning Green and Miledge?

What's the point? Green can't hit righties, either.:wallbash:

[Chip196]

Good point. Should we have kept Cliffy then for the left handed bat?

[BoondockSaint]

I would love if the outfield started with Beltran, Alou, Milledge, Chavez and Green. And then when Pelfry comes up Green gets traded. Even just on defense Milledge has looked a lot better than he did last year and Green looks old and slow. Beltran is going to have to cover part of left field with Alou out there so I'd rather have some young legs in right to help him out. Green hit .277 15hr 66rbi last year. I'm pretty sure Milledge could equal that.

[BoondockSaint]

Fuck. They just reported on WFAN that Sanchez has a broken bone in his shoulder and is out at least 4 months.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I second that Fuck, damn, we need him, our starters will be lucky to make it past 6 innings.

Minaya: Sanchez Out Until August

Adam Rubin reports that Duaner Sanchez is headed for a second surgery on his surgically repaired right shoulder, a source told the Daily News. The Mets have yet to announce the procedure. Sanchez heard a pop while throwing on the mound Thursday for the first time since Aug. 1 surgery to repair a separated shoulder.

UPDATE: Omar Minaya confirmed that Sanchez has a hairline fracture in his shoulder that will require surgery and keep Sanchez out until August.

The Mets optioned Jorge Sosa to Triple-A New Orleans.

Definitely a huge blow for the Mets.


:glurps: :glurps: :glurps: :glurps:

[Bossanova]

This is all my fault. Sanchez went on the DL on my MLB The Show last night. This really sucks. I really hope Showenwiess comes up big this year

I am sorry everyone. In the game it was a torn rotator cuff. I am now closing the season so I can not to jinx the rest of this team

Is there any way you can play it and buzz a fastball right in Jimmy Rollins' mouth?

[Bossanova]

I absolutely can. I already hit Burrell in the kidneys after he took Glavine deep twice

[BeerBandit]

On the SNY broadcast they just mentioned David Wright's appearance on Letterman. How did this get by me? Does anybody know where I can check out the video of this?

[BoondockSaint]

Try Youtube. It was last year.

[BeerBandit]

Oh. I did see that. It sounded to me as though he was on again, perhaps last week.

[Kevin]

wrong thread..

[BoondockSaint]

Typical Yankee fan.

[Basedow]

Carlos Zambrano a Met In '08?

Ah, Big Z, always good for a quote. SI.com's John Donovan got Carlos Zambrano talking yesterday and has an interesting column up.

Donovan describes a fan yelling "See you next year with the Yankees" to Zambrano, to which he pointed and smiled. Later asked about the Yankees, Zambrano said he didn't see it because they have "too many rules." He seems to want to remain in the NL because of his love for hitting, and mentioned the Mets. Of course, for the right price, I'm sure the Yankees could lure him to the AL. Maybe they'd let him pinch-hit once in a while. Also, Paul Sullivan's source said Zambrano wouldn't mind playing for Ozzie Guillen and the White Sox after this year.

Zambrano's next pact could approach a $16MM AAV. Donovan seems to believe he'd exceed seven years on the open market, though the Cubs and Zambrano are set at five seasons. It's unclear whether those five seasons would include 2007.

Donovan writes that the Cubs and Zambrano are making progress on a deal for five years worth around $75-78MM. And last Sunday, BP's John Perrotto said to look for Z to sign a deal in the $80-90MM range this week.

I think the Cubs will retain their ace; they've got about six days left to hammer it out. Jay Mariotti feels that a lack of a Zambrano contract would be a counterproductive distraction, yet that Zambrano would win a Cy Young. I see.

It will more likely be Feliciano or Joe Smith until Mota gets back.

[BeerBandit]

It will more likely be Feliciano or Joe Smith until Mota gets back.
I would think Feliciano would be the Lefty-specialist, and Smith the Righty-specialist. Shoenweisse seems more apt for a setup role because of his slider.

[BoondockSaint]

I think it will be a combination of the three. I was going to mention Showeinwisenhosen but I was too lazy to look up how to spell his name. And if they could ever get Juan Padilla back that would help. And if Pedro comes back then maybe El Duque ends up in the bullpen depending how the young guys are doing.

[BeerBandit]

The best thing for this team is that come late July/August they'll have the cavalry roll in. Pedro, Padilla, Mota, Sanchez :unsure:, plus any deadline moves they might make.

(http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-070326cubsbits,1,5789313.story?coll=cs-cubs-headlines)
With six days left to reach a contract extension before Opening Day, Carlos Zambrano is discussing the possibility of wearing a New York Mets uniform next year.

Asked by SI.com if he'd consider the New York Yankees, Zambrano said: "I like the Yankees, but I don't see myself pitching at Yankee Stadium. Too many rules. If I play in New York, it's going to be with the Mets. First of all, because I get to hit. And I love hitting.

[Bossanova]

Anyone else think Ralph Kiner shouldn't be on tv anymore. I just feel bad for him. He wants to call the game for a few innings, but he can barely speak. I really think it would kind of save him some face by not letting him on. It is cringe worthy at some points

Nah. I love him. He does a few innings every few weeks and still tells better stories then anybody else.

[Kevin]

Yea, Its like what Scooter was in before he retired. He had no clue what the hell was goin on, but he was still Scooter.

[Bossanova]

This is it though. I remember Kiners Corner on Channel 9. A great player who became a great announcer, and had a good report with the players. I feel they just roll him out for nostalgia purposes. I love Kiner, but not this way

[BoondockSaint]

Then take your t.v. and flush it!!!!!!1 Just kidding. I'm not saying that he should be there everyday but it's for a couple of innings every few weeks. And he always knows what's going on with the team. It's obvious that he watches them. I think part of the problem may be the speech impediment he has now due to the Bell's Palsy.

[BeerBandit]

I agree with Boondock. He's very difficult to listen to now, but I love him. I really enjoy his inning or two on Friday nights. I'm a huge baseball fan, and if I could have dinner with two people in the world it would be Ralph Kiner and Tommy Lasorda.
And believe me, don't feel bad for him. If I know old people, he loves doing it. He adores people listening to what he has to say.

I agree ... as long as it's limited, I love hearing his take on things. I'd actually take him over Keith Hernandez anyday, even with the palsy (or whatever is helping cause this). I will be writing a letter to SNY every time I have to listen to Keith Hernandez. I am not a letter writitng guy, but I have to mute my TV when he's on.

[cougarjake13]

well if he's only gonna pitch a part of the season id rather it be towards the end and hopefully the playoffs

Good team. I'd rather see a promising rookie instead of those two, but thats a minor (pardon the pun) quibble.
The bullpen would look so much better with a healthy Sanchez, and I don't think you can really count on that this year with his injury history and with the way he came into camp so out of shape.

[BoondockSaint]

He doesn't want to be in the bullpen. He went to New Orleans because they will let him be a starter there.

Sele's the long man.
Green's gotta be on the roster. It sucks but with Milledge on the squad, at least temporarily, he'll get the opportunity for at-bats. I'm assuming because of their very different springs, Milledge has earned at least platoon status. Problem is the Cardinals don't have a damn lefty in the rotation.

[spadanko]

welcome to the show Joe Smith.. let's hope Lasto takes this opportunity and takes away RF from Shawn Green. One more day!!!

anyone else going opening day on the 9th?

[Marc with a c]

so wright is batting 2nd huh?

i dont have that much of a problem with sele

but what rookie would you have in place of green ????

[cougarjake13]

which is good for him b/c if pelfrey doesnt handle it well park will get the callup or at least show that he's got something and the mets can trade him for something like they did a few years ago with scott erickson

[BoondockSaint]

so wright is batting 2nd huh?

Who knows. He hit 5th yesterday with the full line up in.

[cougarjake13]

Who knows. He hit 5th yesterday with the full line up in.


there was rumors that willie might put him 2nd but he had him 5th today

I just can't wait to see what kind of year Reyes has. I think it may be a monster one. I can't fucking wait until tomorrow night.

The pizza is ordered, the beer is cold, the chips and dip are out. I don't get this excited on Christmas.

[Bossanova]

Alright, here we go.

[BoondockSaint]

Tom Glavine has a higher batting average than Albert Puljos.

[johnniewalker]

Carpenter is having some issues..

[BoondockSaint]

Delgado and LoDuca are tied for the league lead in RBIs.

[Bossanova]

They are looking good so far.

[Bulldogcakes]

5-0 Wooooooo!

Subway series here we come!

[johnniewalker]

Joe morgan brought up a great point, the mets do have a good lineup

[Bossanova]

joe has always been Captain Obvious

[johnniewalker]

What a great play to the plate by beltran!!

[BoondockSaint]

What a throw by Beltran! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[Marc with a c]

money fucking throw.

[Bossanova]

God that fucking guy has an arm

[BoondockSaint]

That was a nice time for a double play.

[Marc with a c]

that was ever moneyer.

[BoondockSaint]

Well, he comes Wagner in a non-save situation. I have my fingers crossed.

[midwestjeff]

rally time!

[Bossanova]

I think Wagner should only come in with a two run lead

[Marc with a c]

162-0 ya heard

[BoondockSaint]

WOOOO!!!! Undefeated!!!!!!!

And LoDuca is on pace for 486 RBIs this year.

[Bossanova]

Great start to our quest for the championship

[midwestjeff]

congrats. 291 wins for glavine. impressive. good luck taking the next two.

[Marc with a c]

WOOOO!!!! Undefeated!!!!!!!

And LoDuca is on pace for 486 RBIs this year.

i doubt that he'll get it. he won't play in every game most likely.

[BeerBandit]

Loved it! Great start by Glavine. 1 down, 9 to go.
Who'da thunk, Alou and Green get the first two hits of the season.
What a game-saving play Valentin!
Fucking Wagner. Always has to make it interesting.

[Friday]

Nice Game one... a slight heart attack at the end there but nothing any Met fan can't handle!

Wheeeeeeeeee

[BoondockSaint]

The Mets have the best record in baseball.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Mets Win Mets Win

Our scrub pitchar won, now here come the All Stars, Fear Maine and Pelphrey BITCHES!!!!

[BrooklynHipster]

Last night made me even more sure that last years NLCS was a fluke. The Cardinals are just not that good. They pitched out of their skulls for two weeks and rode that to the WS title. Congratulations all you bland, whitebread StL fans, enjoy it now because it wont happen again anytime soon.

[spadanko]

great defense, great hitting.. solid pitching.. very nice all around game...

[BrooklynHipster]

Go Mets!!!!!!

[BoondockSaint]

I hope that the Mets can pull out of this three way tie for first they've been stuck in.

[johnniewalker]

I was watching SNY and they said the same thing i read in an article about el duqe's age. They had two numbers 37 or 41. Where did this come from? Did they check his teeth and came up with a range? Also, they called him a huge big game pitcher in the pre-game when gave me a little laugh, sorry.

[Bossanova]

No idea, but I think he is closer to 41. I couldn't care less as long as he get 12-15 wins.

[johnniewalker]

No idea, but I think he is closer to 41. I couldn't care less as long as he get 12-15 wins.

No doubt he will if he stays healthy, he's still pretty good.

[Bossanova]

Its so funny how whenever they mention the Cards being world champs, I catch myself sayin oh yeah. God I can't believe the Mets lost to this awful team.

[who6489]

Me too. I was shocked when they beat the Tigers. Oh well, 2-0. We'll see if we get a sweep tomorrow.
BTW, i just watched the game on MLB.TV. It's pretty good. It was the St. Louis feed though. They stream the HD signal, so it looks decent. But the sound is in mono, which sucks.
Other than that, not bad at all.

[Marc with a c]

162-0 ya heard!

[Kevin]

Its so funny how whenever they mention the Cards being world champs, I catch myself sayin oh yeah. God I can't believe the Mets lost to this awful team.

I still do not understand, how that fucking awful Card team, won the fucking world seires... They may be, the worst, championship team, in the history of sports.

at least they weren't the mets. they won because of good managing and gameplan execution. and because beltran can't hit a wainswright curve. also, because they didn't use too many commas.

It would have been dumb to say after one game but, after two games I think we all agree that the 2007 Mets are the best team in the last 45 years.

[MikeMan419]

2006 Opening Day Starters

Pedro Martinez, Tom Glavine, Steve Trachsel, Victor Zambrano and Brian Bannister

With Jose Lima, Alay Soler and Dave Williams getting a good amount of starts



2007 Opening Day Starters

Tom Glavine, El Duque, John Maine, Oliver Perez and Mike Pelfrey

with Chan H0 Park and Aaron Sele waiting. Not to mention Pedro after the All-Star break.



You can't tell me the 2007 starters aren't better than what they started with in 2006. The rotation will be fine

Seriosly Everyone is worrying a lot for nothing I think!

wilsons half a fag, i guess they got eckstein so they got that going for them, which is nice

Wilson is officially a full on homo.
is there a mercy rule? please?

[cougarjake13]

I know he had a good year last year, but I hate that Valentin is at second

yeh
once atlanta released giles i was hoping we'd go after him



jose fucking reyes!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Bossanova]

I honestly don't know. I have no reason except I don't think he will do it again this year. I know I am being an ass, but I just don't like that he is the starter.

[cougarjake13]

im glad milledge cut his hair

he looked stupid with that shit

[Bossanova]

I just said the same thing to myself

[cougarjake13]

must be a horsemen thing

[Bossanova]

Hell yes, great win tonight. Oh yeah and a fucking sweep of the champs

[BoondockSaint]

The Mets have looked terrible this season.

[Bossanova]

I don't see how they can compete

[Kevin]

The Mets have looked terrible this season.

Awful

[Marc with a c]

162-0 keepin it real

[lleeder]

Hell yes, great win tonight. Oh yeah and a fucking sweep of the champs

Those champs are hardly the same.

[cougarjake13]

the braves will clinch by late april

[Kevin]

the braves will clinch by late april

I say late may

[BoondockSaint]

The Mets pitching staff has been giving up almost one run per game. They'll never win with those type of numbers.

[BeerBandit]

Wow, what a dominating game. Maine was the guy in this rotation that I had the least confidence in. He got away last year by throwing only fastballs because he was unknown. I was sure he'd get hammered once the league came around a second time. But damn! He kept the fastballs low, painted the corners and threw in a rather nasty slider at times. It looked like he was trying a curve ball a few times but couldn't get it to break. If so, I'm surprised he went with that instead of a change-up. Seems to be the trend these days.

All in all a great series. Everybody broke out today. On to Atlanta.

[Kevin]

How can you expect anyone to win with those #'s

[newport king]

i'll tell you, that john maine...he's a fucking terrible hitting pitcher.

and delgado? don't get me started. what's he hitting .167? can we get mike jacobs back?

[Repent13]

Jimmy Rollins was right. This team cant match up with the phillies.

[weekapaugjz]

Jimmy Rollins was right. This team cant match up with the phillies.

maybe just the word, "the who"

great board name budday!

[spadanko]

maybe just the word, "the who"

great board name budday!

or maybe a backwards swasticker

[BeerBandit]

or maybe a backwards swasticker

Just the words "Mr. Koo."

what the fuck ever happened to that guy?

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I predict a 148-14 Record for the Mets

I am not gonna brag and say 162-0

[cougarjake13]

i'll tell you, that john maine...he's a fucking terrible hitting pitcher.

and delgado? don't get me started. what's he hitting .167? can we get mike jacobs back?

nah i say lets bring back piazza and put him back at first
hell it worked last time

[docgoblin]

Is this team for real??!?! I keep waiting for the bubble to burst, but this is getting rediculous! I thought the pitching was gonna stink! What were all those awful spring training stats??! Was that a clever ploy by Willie?! I'm shocked at what I've seen so far!

[BoondockSaint]

So far the experts have been right. The Mets pitching has been terrible.

[BoondockSaint]

Oh, and Reyes is on fire. He already has 7 RBI and 7 runs scored. He also hit 2 triples tonight and is hitting over .400.

[BeerBandit]

More Blowouts = Less Wagner!
:happy:

[Marc with a c]

162-0 fo shor

[Bossanova]

Greatest team ever. Its true

[cougarjake13]

More Blowouts = Less Wagner!
:happy:

the best quote ever that i want to see in a mets thread

[cougarjake13]

Greatest team ever. Its true

its damn true

[BeerBandit]

Not only are the Mets 4-0, the starters are 4-0.

?Silly question, but why didn't Milledge start last night against the lefty> Willie's had two weeks to give this kid the opportunity to outplay Shawn Green and he's already wasted one. Granted Milledge has almost surpassed Green just by sitting on the bench, but still I really wanted to see him in right field last night. Did he just get the temp roster spot as a reward for his great spring, with no chance of getting in the lineup?

[cougarjake13]

thats a good question

who's the bill madden of the mets ??? he'll surely know

[BoondockSaint]

Willie said that there was 2 reasons. With all days off he didn't want to sit any starters because he wants them to get into a groove and Green was 4 for 4 against Redman going into last night's game.

[cougarjake13]

was this a real cover ???

captain red ass ???

Yup. it's LoDuca's nickname.

[BeerBandit]

Yes it was real.
And mine's all sticky.
Although it's been a year. It's probably flaky by now.

[cougarjake13]

man i cant believe they put that on the cover

its funny though

[King Hippos Bandaid]

4-0 Outscoring opponents 31-3 Holy Shit, Best 4 Games Ever

[cougarjake13]

I hate the F ing braves. Go mets

[cougarjake13]

assist from loduca

hell yeh

thats why and i cant believe im gonna say this but i agree with tim mc carver, wright in the 2 hole would be wasted

1st and 3rd one out we need at least one more

[cougarjake13]

fucking wright at least put the ball in play, a outfield fly, something

[cougarjake13]

i fucking hate this diaz guy already

we need a fucking double play

[Marc with a c]

they killed jesus, now this.

[cougarjake13]

hopefully we'll get to the bullpen

[SnoogansCar]

thats a good question

who's the bill madden of the mets ??? he'll surely won't know

FIXED IT!!

[J.Clints]

oh well that was a great game

[Bossanova]

4-1 and so I can not bitch, but I hate Green. Thats all I will say about him That game could have been better had it not been 8 degrees out.

[cougarjake13]

its all good

we missed a few opps to get back in the game

and since when did craig wilson become the 2nd coming of keith hernandez ???

if not for that catch it would have been a tie game

[Bossanova]

The last out I can live with, actually not pissed about that. His defense is gonna kill me

[BeerBandit]

Ok...ok




161-1:unsure:

[cougarjake13]

hopefully we the tv title back today

1:05 p.m. Mets at Braves
NYM: O Hernandez(1-0, 1.29)
ATL: K Davies (0-0, -)

[BoondockSaint]

Rough game yesterday. But I predict a win today and Reyes will do something amazing.

[cougarjake13]

Rough game yesterday. But I predict a win today and Reyes will do something amazing.

like i said we had opportunities and didnt come through but we cant expect perfection all year long

as long as maine and perez can perform at least as half as good as they did in the first week i'll be happy

[BoondockSaint]

This game did not start well.

[Kevin]

Is Gary Cohen high?? Walk Renteria, to get to Chipper??? I do not care how cold he is.. Hasn't he seen that man kill the Mets enough??

[BoondockSaint]

High like a fox.

[Kevin]

High like a fox.

http://www.thirdwayblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/caveman_1.jpg

Ahhhh What??

[cougarjake13]

c'mon you fuckers

keep the lead

[Marc with a c]

just tuned in to see andruw 'left eye' jones strike out.

[cougarjake13]

just tuned in to see andruw 'left eye' jones strike out.

they shoulda walked mccann to set up a double play
motherfuckers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BoondockSaint]

c'mon you fuckers

keep the lead


Knock it off, Jinxy.

[BoondockSaint]

How about not giving up any more doubles, Aaron?

[cougarjake13]

How about not giving up any more doubles, Aaron?

sometimes heilman disappoints me

[Kevin]

AH, not looking good.

[cougarjake13]

AH, not looking good.

yeh gte heilman thefuck outta there already

i had a bad feeling that they shouldnt have pinch hit for el duque

[BoondockSaint]

4-2 but I think we'll be 7-2 by the time we're done with Philly.

[J.Clints]

4-2 but I think we'll be 7-2 by the time we're done with Philly.

6-3 my guess loose game #2

[cougarjake13]

6-3 my guess loose game #2

ill take either just as long as we win the series

[BoondockSaint]

Can't wait for one o'clock. Hopefully they start making Jimmy Rollins eat his words today. And maybe Delgado can get on track today.

[BoondockSaint]

Are the Mets building a new stadium? They have hardly mentioned it on the pre-game today.

[weekapaugjz]

Can't wait for one o'clock. Hopefully they start making Jimmy Rollins eat his words today. And maybe Delgado can get on track today.

im looking forward to this game big time. finally get to watch a game, ive only seen one so far this year

[BoondockSaint]

Holy crap. Delgado just bunted for a hit.

[BeerBandit]

Shawn Green starting again against the lefty. Must be that .375 avg.

[BoondockSaint]

This Hamels kid is very impressive.

[BoondockSaint]

Well, I guess we are going to see what Burgos is made of.

[K.C.]

This Hamels kid is very impressive.

He's going to be great.

But this game is shaping up like a classic Phillies loss...you can't leave that many on base.

[Furtherman]

What is the score?

[K.C.]

What is the score?

3-2 Mets in Top 6th.

Phils have 1st and 3rd with one out, Utley at the plate.

[K.C.]

Yeah...I'll just direct your attentions to my sig-pic.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Burgos is all arm no skill. Thats why he bounces around.

[BoondockSaint]

Burgos is all arm no skill. Thats why he bounces around.

Bounces around? He's 22.

Almost got out of it. Probably should have walked Howard there.

[Dan 'Hampton]

He's Victor Zambrano with velocity.

[BoondockSaint]

He's Victor Zambrano with velocity.


But you said he bounces around like he's been on 5 teams already.

[Dan 'Hampton]

I faultily thought that he'd been on another pro team before KC. The kid has major control issues.

[BoondockSaint]

I faultily thought that he'd been on another pro team before KC. The kid has major control issues.

Well, don't be coming in here with your faulty thinking!

just kidding.

He has control issues but he did stick with it against Utley for 13 pitches I think. He has a lot of potential and he is still very young. I'm not about to give up on him.

[Dan 'Hampton]

What the hell do I know about the Mets or NL baseball for that matter. I'll just go back to the Sox thread and jabs in the Yankees thread.

[BoondockSaint]

HAHA! Nice play Rollins.

[weekapaugjz]

an even better wild pitch

[weekapaugjz]

off the fucking wall! nice hit wright!

[BoondockSaint]

:clap:

[weekapaugjz]

alou with his first rbi's of the year. what an inning.

[BoondockSaint]

We have a 6 run lead with Wagner coming in and I'm nervous.

[BoondockSaint]

Nice come back victory today against The Team to Beat.

[K.C.]

Well, congrats on game one...that's a Charlie Manuel loss.

Geary looked awful in the 7th...he was lucky to get out by Victorino's amazing catch. So Charlie lets him bat and then pitch the 8th? Stupid, stupid decision.

[J.Clints]

Great Game

[Bossanova]

Great game, even better play by Rollins

[King Hippos Bandaid]

mmm bop Now its Mine

5-4 No No No No

its 11-5

Look what we did to you A Gain


That was brought to you by 2000 Andrew Dice Clay

[cougarjake13]

We have a 6 run lead with Wagner coming in and I'm nervous.

i was too

he's usually horrible in non save situations

[Marc with a c]

160-2 if you don't know now you know

[cougarjake13]

160-2 if you don't know now you know

and knowing's half the battle

[Bossanova]

Pefrey is making the start Friday against the Nats. I am really looking foward to watching it.

[spadanko]

was at the game today.. friggin awesome... after Rollins booted the ball, the Jim-My Rol-Lins chants started... he was tortured all game.... going to be a great rivalry this season. Willie almost blew this one, but he got away with it

[K.C.]

I watched some of the Post Game...Rollins basically said he expected to get booed before he made his comments, so it made no difference to him...he also said he stands by what he said.

I'm all for the confidence, Jimmy...but let's get a couple wins.
