Ahh Benny. One of my favorite names to hear Bob Murphy say. All those B's and N's sounded so silly coming out of his Stuffy Nose/Jowly kinda voice.

[Kevin]

Ahh Benny. One of my favorite names to hear Bob Murphy say. All those B's and N's sounded so silly coming out of his Stuffy Nose/Jowly kinda voice.

He also was the reason for one of my fav TV comments ever.. I forget who was talking about the conditioning of the Mets.. And he listed the players that are "In Shape" Andhe listed Agbayani as one of them... I was like WHAT?? IN SHAPE?? Have you seen him man!

[K.C.]

I think the Mets offense will be Eaton up Adam tonight. geh geh geh.

That or Oliver Perez will walk 8 in 4 innings.

Big game tonight, at least as far as April goes...Phils need the win, Mets have a chance to bury them in a fairly deep hole.

Ok, so I was a little off...7 walks in 2 2/3 innings and a hit batter.

Was he trying to take the Amtrak to Minnesota??

[cougarjake13]

Was he trying to take the Amtrak to Minnesota??

[BoondockSaint]

These hometown umps stink.

[Bossanova]

These hometown umps stink.

I agree. What the fuck

[K.C.]

Here's comes the pain...it's in the Phils bullpen now.

EDIT: Nice!...we may have actually recorded a Hold...I'm so excited.

[BoondockSaint]

We just need to keep it to 3 runs to make sure Tom Gordon comes in for the bottom of the 9th.

[Bossanova]

Here's comes the pain...it's in the Phils bullpen now.

At least wait till its over K.C., we could always ground one to Rollins

We got 'em right where we want them.

Except that one

[BoondockSaint]

He's a very agressive hitter.

Oh well, not a good game tonight but when you walk 11 guys what do you expect?

[Bossanova]

He's a very agressive hitter.

Oh well, not a good game tonight but when you walk 11 guys what do you expect?

Oh, I know he is. He still makes me nervous. Game sucked, but you couldn't be more right. Pitching wasn't there tonight.

[cougarjake13]

http://www.hyperborea.org/flash/images/barry1.png

that sums up the phillies season

[BoondockSaint]

Shit! I forgot to put my rally cap on. Sorry guys.

[cougarjake13]

it must be the latin blood

[cougarjake13]

another ribbie by alou

so far im liking the signing

[Bossanova]

aside from his free swinging, I loved the signing. But fuck it, if he drives in runs. Swing at whatever you want

[BoondockSaint]

another ribbie by alou

so far im liking the signing


I said that from the start. He played the same amount of games as Floyd last year and had double the production. But I guess Floyd knew how to play in NY.

[cougarjake13]

all i said was that at least we know that floyd can play in ny, i wasnt sure about alou

:king:

[Marc with a c]

I didn't catch all of tonight's victory against the Orioles, but boy did I tune in at a fine moment.

My friends, if this game is any indication, we can expect some prime Keith Hernandez/Gary Cohen doozies in our futures. Of course, I hope the team tightens its play and works out the kinks. But at least Keith and Gary will make sure the smiles stay on viewers faces. Witness:

Keith: I have got the most delicious Tootsie Pop. I haven’t had one in so long.

Gary: What flavor you got?

Keith: What’s this, cherry? Ahhh.

Gary: Do you—do you bite them?

Keith: When you get near the chocolate in the end, then you have to. I have no patience.

Gary: Well, we already know that. But do you bite them?

Keith: Uh, yes. Viciously. And I’m very professional. I don’t chew during a broadcast. [Points to Tootsie Pop.] I’ll get after this during commercial.

Gary: You’ll be licking it until we get to between innings, and then you’ll be crunching down on it, is that it? (Three-and-oh now to Beltran.)

Keith: You loved these when you were a kid, didn’t you?

Gary: I love them now.

Keith: Jeez.

Gary: But I would find it very difficult to coordinate speaking and dealing with the Tootsie Pop.

Keith: I don’t have a problem with that.

Gary: I think you have a great talent in this area. I’m envious.

What's more? Tonight we learned that Keith's added purple to his scorecard palette. Hot.

I'll be back soon. But until then, I'll leave you with Keith. Contemplating the Tootsie. xoxo.

The Kid on the mound tonight.. lets score lots of runs for him

[BoondockSaint]

The Kid on the mound tonight.. lets score lots of runs for him

If Gary Carter is pitching we're gonna have to.

[Bossanova]

Great start. No umps, get the kid rattled.

[BoondockSaint]

Stupid hometown umps.

[cougarjake13]

If Gary Carter is pitching we're gonna have to.

nice

[cougarjake13]

fyi

nats are current tv title champs

[BoondockSaint]

WTF is with all the walks?

[Kevin]

Watching the Nats.. I can't imagine why their record is so bad...

[johnniewalker]

Watching the Nats.. I can't imagine why their record is so bad...

They have great bunting and a keen ability to hit into DP's. I'm with you.

[johnniewalker]

These announcers are so awkward with these old men in the booth.

[Kevin]

These announcers are so awkward with these old men in the booth.

Yea, its like Having Michael Kay there.

[Kevin]

How do not remember Pedro?? THEY JUST SAID HIS NAME 2 SECS AGO.... plus its FUCKING PEDRO!!

[johnniewalker]

How do not remember Pedro?? THEY JUST SAID HIS NAME 2 SECS AGO.... plus its FUCKING PEDRO!!

He's 82, I think they are just glad he didn't use a slur when describing that Japenese pitcher. After the i-man thing i'm just waiting for something to come flying out this guys mouth.

[Kevin]

You know, that Jap from Boston has great stuff

[BoondockSaint]

I hate rainouts. Weird schedule this week. 2 at Philly then 2 in DC.

[cougarjake13]

I hate rainouts. Weird schedule this week. 2 at Philly then 2 in DC.

they make up for it later in the year when they play 4 game series

[BoondockSaint]

are we ever gonna play again ????/

[BoondockSaint]

Fuckin' Phillies trying to cheat. Good job Willie.

[BeerBandit]

are we ever gonna play again ????/

As soon as Freddy Garcia changes his glove.

[BeerBandit]

Nice way to set the tone.

Reyes leads off with a hit.

[Bossanova]

Double clutch, would have made it anyway

[Chip196]

Aweful ... you can't get picked off there.

[BeerBandit]

well so much for that.

[Bossanova]

That sucks

[Chip196]

Reyes on 2nd, no outs .... and we're done.

[BeerBandit]

Don't worry, Tommy'll hold 'em.

[Chip196]

Hmmm ... broken bat double, and Alou stumbles in to the wall. Not a good start on this side either.

[Bossanova]

Nice double play

[Chip196]

Don't worry, Tommy'll hold 'em.

on the money Mook

[BeerBandit]

How 'bout that!

[BoondockSaint]

Prediction: Delgado goes deep.

Eventually.

[Chip196]

Prediction: David Wright will smell his shirt

[Bossanova]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and on the teams 7th of the year

[BoondockSaint]

ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

And didn't Wright's hit break the Met record.

[Chip196]

NICE ... ripped it.

[BeerBandit]

Nice. Even if Glavine doesn't hit him in. Reyes'll lead off the 3rd. Clutch for Valentin

[Chip196]

Nice. Even if Glavine doesn't hit him in. Reyes'll lead off the 3rd. Clutch for Valentin

Absolutely ... always good to get past that spot.

[Bossanova]

ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

And didn't Wright's hit break the Met record.


Yes, but I don't think Willie wants to allow it. He said when the season ends, so do streaks

[BoondockSaint]

[/COLOR]


Yes, but I don't think Willie wants to allow it. He said when the season ends, so do streaks

I know and I agree with him but I'm suprised the announcers didn't bring it up. Imagine if Wright gets to 56 games but it's over two seasons?

[Chip196]

[/COLOR]


Yes, but I don't think Willie wants to allow it. He said when the season ends, so do streaks

I don't think Willie has any choice in the matter ... it's MLB Statistic rules. I happen to agree with Willie, but there's nothing to say to change it really.

[Bossanova]

I don't think Willie has any choice in the matter ... it's MLB Statistic rules. I happen to agree with Willie, but there's nothing to say to change it really.

can MLB rule on team records? And what exactly is the ruling, if someone broke the 56 over two games? Has anyone ever addressed it?

[Bossanova]

I know and I agree with him but I'm suprised the announcers didn't bring it up. Imagine if Wright gets to 56 games but it's over two seasons?

I wouldn't want it to count because there is a stamina thing, but that would be fucking crazy

[BoondockSaint]

I wouldn't want it to count because there is a stamina thing, but that would be fucking crazy


I think it would be for the good of baseball since it would drive Yankee fans insane.

[Chip196]

I am under the impression that STATS Inc. is the official Stat Book of MLB. Rollins went through this at the beginning of the season last year (correct me if I am wrong). I am pretty sure that it's still considered consecutive games. If Wright breaks it, it will count.

[Bossanova]

You are prob right. I don't like it.

[Bossanova]

I think it would be for the good of baseball since it would drive Yankee fans insane.

HAHAHA, you know, now that I think of it. If he does it, I would accept the record, just to hear them cry about another Yank losing a record

[Chip196]

You are prob right. I don't like it.

I just looked it up ... the NL record is over 2 seasons. Willy Keeler ... 45 game hit streak starting in 1896, ending in 1897. Jimmy Rollins, 38 games starting 2005, ending 2006. So I am assuming it's valid.

Yeah, I guess so. nice work Chip. I remember when Rollins went through this, and I heard discussion. I never heard an answer though. Thanks

[BoondockSaint]

What a throw by Reyes.

[Chip196]

Great Throw

[BeerBandit]

Fucking Keith, leave David alone. He got handcuffed.

[BeerBandit]

guess who's going to second.

[Chip196]

Fucking Keith, leave David alone. He got handcuffed.

I HATE KEITH!!! ARRGGHHHH

[BoondockSaint]

Tuck your fucking shirt in.

[Bossanova]

Tuck your fucking shirt in.

I fucking hate slobs

[Kevin]

I think it would be for the good of baseball since it would drive Yankee fans insane.

It ain't happening and if it did.. It would b a fogazi record...

[BeerBandit]

He walked in a run to get to Burrell.

[Bossanova]

ok, I'll take it

[BoondockSaint]

Fuck. I love Castro as the backup but losing LoDuca for anytime would really hurt.

[Bossanova]

I don't wanna hear it

[BeerBandit]

Who needs Lo Duca!

Lord Vader for catcher!

[BoondockSaint]

Beltran!

[Chip196]

Who needs Lo Duca!

Lord Vader for catcher!

Shrek ... best backup Catcher in the game today!

[BoondockSaint]

What an odd inning.

[cougarjake13]

2 homers from alou ???


damn he's making me 2nd guess my comments about him and floyd

[BoondockSaint]

2 homers from alou ???


damn he's making me 2nd guess my comments about him and floyd

I told you!!!!!!!

[Bossanova]

2 homers from alou ???


damn he's making me 2nd guess my comments about him and floyd

I love how they mention him not wearing batting gloves everyday, yet they can not explain that he pisses on his hands to make them rough so he doesn't need them

[cougarjake13]

I told you!!!!!!!

i'm a believer

i never said he wouldnt be good , just we knew what we had in floyd, unsure about alou but he's obviously proved me wrong and i'm glad

[BoondockSaint]

2 homers from alou ???


damn he's making me 2nd guess my comments about him and floyd


FACE!!!!!!!!1 Just kidding.

[cougarjake13]

FACE!!!!!!!!1 Just kidding.

hey its making the mets better so i'll gladlt take that

[BeerBandit]

And now a gamesaving catch! The defense on this team has been spectacular, excepting that Atlanta game.

[BoondockSaint]

Here comes another SB.

[Bossanova]

I know this is way ahead of anything. If LoDuca is out, you think Wright hits second?

[cougarjake13]

Here comes another SB.

i love reyes

[BeerBandit]

I know this is way ahead of anything. If LoDuca is out, you think Wright hits second?


Not after that bases-loaded strikeout.

[BoondockSaint]

I know this is way ahead of anything. If LoDuca is out, you think Wright hits second?

I think they may try Valentine for a while first.

[Kevin]

i love reyes

So why don't you marry him??

[Bossanova]

I think they may try Valentine for a while first.

I would rather that. I only mention it, cause Willie tinkered a bit ion sping training.

[cougarjake13]

So why don't you marry him??

well seeing as i am carrying his baby

[BoondockSaint]

I would rather that. I only mention it, cause Willie tinkered a bit ion sping training.

Yeah, I just think that Willie saw that it leave the back end of the lineup really low. 6-7-8 would be Green Valentine Catro and then the pitcher. I think Valentine can do things as a #2 like move Reyes along.

[BeerBandit]

I would rather that. I only mention it, cause Willie tinkered a bit ion sping training.

I would definitely love to see how Wright handles the 2-spot. Although he's been striking out an awful lot this season.

[cougarjake13]

Yeah, I just think that Willie saw that it leave the back end of the lineup really low. 6-7-8 would be Green Valentine Catro and then the pitcher. I think Valentine can do things as a #2 like move Reyes along.

so then green slids down to 7th ???

[BoondockSaint]

so then green slids down to 7th ???

That's where he is now.

[Bossanova]

I would definitely love to see how Wright handles the 2-spot. Although he's been striking out an awful lot this season.

Yeah, despite putting together a nice little streak, he has been missing a lot of pitches

[cougarjake13]

That's where he is now.

you have green 6th
vally 7th and
castro 8th

if you move valentin to #2 then who goes to 7th ?? it'd have to be green

1 reyes
2 valentin
3 beltran
4 delagdo
5 wright
6 alou
7 green
8 castro

[BoondockSaint]

you have green 6th
vally 7th and
castro 8th

1 reyes
2 valentin
3 beltran
4 delagdo
5 wright
6 alou
7 green
8 castro

Shit. You're right. Basically the catcher and 2b would switch in the order.

[BoondockSaint]

Nice! We swept that series from Philly.

[cougarjake13]

Nice! We swept that series from Philly.

man it was tenuous back and forth but we pulled it out

[BoondockSaint]

They keep saying that LoDuca has had negative X-Rays but is going for more examination. That worries me. But, Gary Cohen is right, we have two veterans to bring up.

[cougarjake13]

Tough matchup tonight against Dontrelle. I wish he was on the Mets. NY would love him.

Nice top of the first. I wish they were all like that.

[cougarjake13]

Tough matchup tonight against Dontrelle. I wish he was on the Mets. NY would love him.

he will be soon

dont worry i have faith in omar minaya

[Bossanova]

he will be soon

dont worry i have faith in omar minaya

That would be sick. Nice start

[cougarjake13]

That would be sick. Nice start

as long as the marlins dont convince him to stay somehow

he'll test the free agent waters, and we've already become the los metropolitanos

[BoondockSaint]

as long as the marlins dont convince him to stay somehow

he'll test the free agent waters, and we've already become the los metropolitanos

Um, he's not Latin.

[Bossanova]

Um, he's not Latin.

No, but after they don't re-sign Easley. The mets will need at least 1 black player so they have to go after him

[Kevin]

Um, he's not Latin.

Yea exactly!!!























So he will be a Yankee:wink:

[Bossanova]

Yea exactly!!!























So he will be a Yankee:wink:


But he isn't injury prone

But he isn't injury prone

Pedro isn't?? Elduque??

Just bitter because its been a while, and dreamy DJ is starting to go down hill

[Kevin]

Just bitter because its been a while, and dreamy DJ is starting to go down hill

Down hill?? He was 2nd in the MVP vote last year.. And 2nd the batting race.. In the A league.. Not Smackdown, NL.

[Bossanova]

Down hill?? He was 2nd in the MVP vote last year.. And 2nd the batting race.. In the A league.. Not Smackdown, NL.

Stop living in the past Kev, that was like 6 months ago. The proof is in front of you. He has like 62 errors alredy. Seems washed up to me

[Kevin]

By the Way.. The best player in NY by far, just hit his 9th hr and got his 24th rbi.

[Bossanova]

By the Way.. The best player in NY by far, just hit his 9th hr and got his 24th rbi.

I have never desputed that, in fact I am extremely excited for him this year. I hope the many selfish Yankee fans can lay off a bit

[Marc with a c]

By the Way.. The best player in NY by far, just hit his 9th hr and got his 24th rbi.

hey nova, it looks like he took your advice, he definately isnt looking six months back anymore.

Yea he is no Cairo.. I don't know why Torre keeps playing Jeter over him.

[BoondockSaint]

Nice win. Hopefully we keep hitting through the weekend.

[cougarjake13]

By the Way.. The best player in NY by far, just hit his 9th hr and got his 24th rbi.

best player ???

Not even at his prime... In 1965.

From the Mets blog:

Just up from the clubhouse. Paul Lo Duca is out. Maybe tomorrow or the next day. ``It just doesn’t make any sense to play this early when you’re not 100 percent,’’ Willie Randolph said.

Here’s the line-up:

SS Jose Reyes
CF Carlos Beltran
LF Moises Alou
1B Carlos Delgado
3B David Wright
RF Shawn Green
C Ramon Castro
2B Jose Valentin
RHP Orlando Hernandez

Randolph said he likes speed at the top of the order, which is why he went with Beltran second. Randolph made out three lineups—Green hit second in another—and said he went with his gut in choosing this one.

Interesting.

i like it hopefully it works

I'm very curious to see how Alou does with Delgado's protection. Assuming Delgado offers protection at this slow portion of the season for him.

Beltran seems to like the two spot.

Beltran seems to like the two spot.

You know, Mike and the Maddog said he3 would flurish in the two spot last year. I didn't think they were far off, but I never thought he would accept it

I think he hit two on the Royals and when he tore it up in the postseason for the Astros. I don't know if I want him there everyday but when LoDuca has a night off it might be the way to go.

No way, I def still want him at three. He faired ok there last year

not sure about royals but i think he did hit 2 with houston

[BoondockSaint]

Back in first, now let's take it to the wire.

Just think if Delgado and Wright start seeing the ball better. They will destroy teams all the way to the end

[johnniewalker]

I don't get Wright at five. If you put beltran at 2 probably b/c of his speed, it seems Wright should go 3 with some speed, good power, avg. and good obp then delgado 4 with Alou 5. Its just nitpicking, and they are 4 tough players to really set a lineup with.

That would be OK but I really like the Reyes gets on to leadoff the game, LoDuca moves him up and Beltran drives him in, first inning dynamic.

[Bossanova]

Well, this game isnt going well

[BoondockSaint]

It's all going to turn around now.

I've been thinking and I can't come up with a palyer I dislike more than Larry Jones.

[BoondockSaint]

This is easily the worst game we've played all year.

That Chipper Jones, is a thorn on your side also..

Today's game is going slighty better than last night's.

another nice outing by olie perez

[BoondockSaint]

I get the feeling that Perez is going to drive us crazy all year. One game unhitable, next game can't find the plate.

BTW, sitting here with a nice breeze blowing through my apartment, drinking beer, and watching Jose Reyes play baseball is pretty close to heaven.

i'd agree

[BoondockSaint]

Good article on how Jose Reyes is on his way to being the best player in baseball. (http://www.nyjournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070422/SPORTS01/704220386/1034/SPORTS)

This has been a great game! Smoltz and glavine have been great. Now cox got tossed for smoltz talking shit to the ump. Its on valentine now with the bases loaded.

[BoondockSaint]

Jo-se Jose Jose Jose Jo-se Jo-se

[johnniewalker]

I can't believe they've kept schoenweis out there.

Ke-lly, kelly kelly kelly... ke-lly, ke-lly..

Willie should tell the bullpen not to give up three run homers.

Finally
Delgado
Has come back
To hitting home runs.

[cougarjake13]

adious mio

[BoondockSaint]

Another strong outing by Maine. He's gone at least 7 in 3 of his 4 starts. And I liked Willie leaving Burgos out there to clean up his own mess.
