Does not look like our night.. We are just missing everything..

A-Rod vs. A-Nonymous. And Mr. Smith wins.

I would just like to say one thing about this game..





Fuck you Josh Phelps.. I hope you sleep with a Haitian tonight..


That's all

Nice win Met fans..

And Ollie comes up big in a pressure game again.

thats turning into one nice helluva trade for us

[Kevin]

thats turning into one nice helluva trade for us

And the Pirates wonder why they suck balls.. They deal Oli Perez and Aramis ramierz and got dick for both of them.. Nice work that GM is doing up there..

[cougarjake13]

aramis rameriez

July 23, 2003: Traded by the Pittsburgh Pirates with Kenny Lofton and cash to the Chicago Cubs for a player to be named later, Jose Hernandez, and Matt Bruback (minors). The Chicago Cubs sent Bobby Hill (August 15, 2003) to the Pittsburgh Pirates to complete the trade.

How old is Ramierz?? he Can't be past 28 29. which made him like 24 35.. Just checked he just turns 29 on the 25th.. So they deal a 25 year old power hitting 3b.. AND then a 23 year old Lefty pitcher.. Is it the same GM?? And if so.. why does he still have a job??

same guy

Dave Littlefield, Senior Vice President & General Manager
Dave Littlefield was named Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 13, 2001, thus becoming the 11th G.M. in the history of the club.


he also traded away brian giles which got them olie perez and jason bay

so not all moves failed and i think he's still there

[weekapaugjz]

i loved watching tonights game, especially with a yanks fan.

fuck clemens.

[Kevin]

i loved watching tonights game, especially with a yanks fan.

fuck Josh Phelps.


Fixed!

[weekapaugjz]

Fixed!

fair enough. clemens did pitch a good game. im just glad he lost cause i hate him and was hearing shit from my friend all week how clemens was gonna get a win. sour grapes? maybe...

[Kevin]

Clemens pitched a hell of a game.. Its just the Yanks propensity to make lefties look like Sandy Kaufax, that did him in.. Even the Pirates Lefties had good games vs us..

[Devo37]

And Ollie comes up big in a pressure game again.

i don't trust perez farther than i can throw him across the foul line! when he's good, he's good, but when he gets in a funk, he'll walk the bases loaded in 12 pitches.

plus, the whole jumping-over-the-foul-line thing is bush-league nonsense. one of these days, he's gonna twist an ankle doing that...

[BoondockSaint]

Go Go Gotay!!!!

[weekapaugjz]

Balk!!!

[Kevin]

That was not a balk.. But still serves you right for walking Reyes, You dumb Motherfucker.

[BoondockSaint]

Thank you Tyler Benitez.

[Doogie]

Fuck A-Rod

[Kevin]

http://www.lancs.ac.uk/ug/eardley/atom_bomb_2.jpg

[Doogie]

It was three weeks ago the Mets faced the Yanks at Shea and A-Rod had homer there too. Glavine started that game, but it was Schoenweis that gave up the homer. The Mets need to rally so that they can salvage this game.

[Doogie]

Fucking Ramon Castro coming out of nowhere to get that shot. Fuck yeah!!!!

[Doogie]

Carlos Gomez has been a Yankee killer all weekend thus far. This kid is fantastic, and it is nice to have speed at the top and the bottom of the order.

[BoondockSaint]

Fucking Ramon Castro coming out of nowhere to get that shot. Fuck yeah!!!!

Castro always seems to hit when he's in there. Best back up catcher in baseball.

Some Met fans aren't old enough to remember Delgado getting a hit.

That got a chuckle out of me.. Good work Boony.. I say the same about Phelps..

[Kevin]

Met Fans... Serious question.. You Worried about Glavine?? He looks like he has nothing.. I am only asking because i remember how fast Cone lost it after that Perfect game.. He had nothing so fast..

[BoondockSaint]

Nah, he goes through slumps every year.

[Kevin]

WTF is Delgado doing?? That was going to be close at best!! Wow.

[BoondockSaint]

Julio Franco would have caught the cut off.

[Kevin]

Yea but then you wont have the Castro HR..

And Delgado now cost you 2 runs.

[docgoblin]

This is getting very ugly. Delgado is killing us at bat and in the field.

[Kevin]

He is starting to get into Josh Phelps territory for you guys.

[Kevin]

Who does Jeter think he is.. Jose Reyes??

[docgoblin]

I think Mota needs some juice.

[Kevin]

Hey Boony!!!! LOOK WHO JUST GOT A HIT!!!

[BoondockSaint]

Hey Boony!!!! LOOK WHO JUST GOT A HIT!!!


I smell a base running mistake coming up.

[docgoblin]

Is tomorrow a day game or night game?

[docgoblin]

I have no idea where it's going.... I'm serious!

[BoondockSaint]

Nice to see Rick Vaughn in the game.

[docgoblin]

Who'd have thought that the only Carlos in the lineup that would be doing anything is Gomez?

I can see why Beltran has struggled.. He prob is not back from his injury yet.. But Delgado i would be worried about.. Age and all.. Maybe he is off the Roids??

[BoondockSaint]

Listen, before we start throwing around accusations like that let's remember that he leads the team in RBIs and is second in HRs, is tied for second in doubles. It's stuff in the clutch when he hasn't come through at all and also just the simple lead off hit and such.

Yea but didnt he do that in a like a 3 week stretch?? Someone on the fan did make a good point.. Maybe having his 1st kid a while ago.. His mind is there and he misses him and his mind is there.. remember his house is in Fla.. And he has that huge series in Fla.. All i keep hearing is how bad he is from Mets fans.. Didnt know that about the stats.. hi avg is pretty low though

[docgoblin]

Lets not forget that they made the Yanks and Mariano sweat in the 9th. They did score 8 runs (Of course Beltran did pop-up on the first pitch for the last out... but I digress). It was really the pitching, and especially Glavine, that screwed them today. The team kept getting a lead, then Glavine would give it right back. The offense did all they could. Even with Beltran and Delgado remaining cold as ice.

By his standards he's having a terrible season. He's on pace for about 25 and 95. He had a 2 month slump last year before he had a kid so I doubt that's it. He had elbow surgery in the off season and some people think it's that. His walks are way down so it seems like he's imaptient. His OBP is down 70 points from last year. Who knows?

You really never know with these guys.. Look at Abrau.. He looked like a little leaguer for 2 months.. Then one day he just snapped out of it.. Started hitting walking.. They are a special breed.. You never know when and how they will come out of it..

True. And Degado's resume is in a league beyond Abreu. You just have to wait it out. Maybe if Alou ever comes back they can drop him to 6th again since he responded to it last time. But this is why I love baseball. By this time next week he could be the hottest player in the league.

[BoondockSaint]

Prediction: The Mets will steal eleventeen bases tonight and still lose.

I've been used to losing since 1968 brother... It's in my blood!

[docgoblin]

I posted weeks ago that this Mets team is done... Way before this swoon they're in... Now can we all admit that this team is much too old at their core in starting pitching?... Which is the most important aspect of the game... We are screwed!

[Kevin]

OH GOODIE Mets fans... Your losing 4-0 now you get to hear your alltime Favorite player.. Roger talk!! Does no get any better!!

[lleeder]

And btw i commend you Met fans... You fuckers post.. Win or lose.. Where the fuck are the Yankee fans all weekend??

Sorry I was at the game Friday and at the Traveling Virus Saturday. I'll try better next weekend.

I have hated that we sigen 40 forty year olds all year. This pitching staff is too old, Alou is killing us. Enough is enough with Omar relying on this old men.

[Kevin]

Sorry I was at the game Friday and at the Traveling Virus Saturday. I'll try better next weekend.

I was alone in the Yankee thread..Thankfuly.. The Met fans were nice enough to tolerate me.. And my propensity for being an ass..

[Kevin]

No Soup For You Jose!!!

[Bossanova]

No Soup For You Jose!!!

We are tolerating you sir. At least play nice please

[Kevin]

We are tolerating you sir. At least play nice please

Sorry sorry.. How many times do you get to see Jose get caught stealing.. Its like you guys watching Jeter K in a big spot.. It doesn't happen alot.. You get excited!

[BoondockSaint]

I hope Kevin's computer dies.

[Bossanova]

I hope Kevin's computer dies.

I second that.

You both love me and you know it!!

SSSHHHH!!! Ant its official. I hate the Mets for the night

[lleeder]

Sorry sorry.. How many times do you get to see Jose get caught stealing.. Its like you guys watching Jeter K in a big spot.. It doesn't happen alot.. You get excited!

I agree watching Reyes get tagged out is always a highlight for me. Its so rare how could you not love it!!!

[docgoblin]

I hope Kevin's computer dies.

I hope it explodes and burns his dwelling to the ground... Then he'll have a fraction of a notion of what it's like to be a 40 year mets fan.

[lleeder]

Its almost as rare as a Reyes hitting into a double play. :thumbup:

[docgoblin]

OH GOODIE Mets fans... Your losing 4-0 now you get to hear your alltime Favorite player.. Roger talk!! Does no get any better!!

I pray that the mercenary asshole dies in a plane crash trying to catch up to the team in New York after one of his weekends home with the family.

...BTW, You Yankees fans do realize that Roger was awful on Friday, right? He couldn't even beat this sorry Mets team... $24,000,000... WHAT A DEAL!

He gave up less runs then Glavine and El Duque. He lasted longer than both of them and it was only his 2nd start. We over payed but the Yankees need him to be the number 4th starter not an ace.

HAHA, Poor Benigno. I am a Knick and Eagle fan so I can relate. I am however a Devil fan so I do have that to fall on. I have just not like this lineup since the spring

TWENTY-FOUR MILLION DOLLARS FOR A NUMBER FOUR STARTER WHO MAY GET 20 STARTS?!?!? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!... A MILLION DOLLARS PLUS PER GAME... FOR A NUMBER FOUR STARTER!?!?! WHAT A JOKE!

And He gave up less runs than those has-beens because the Mets haven't been able to knock in guys that are in scoring position for three weeks. Wait'll good 'ol Rog faces a real lineup like the Tigers or the Sox. He's had no competition yet and he's 1-1 with a 3.65 ERA... Gimmie a break!

The man k'd 8 in 7 inns gave up 2 fucking runs.. They were multiple times inches away from giving him the win.. I Know you hate him.. And you have a right to, but come on be fair.. You can't use tonight as a barometer as the mets offense struggling either because you faced one of the best pitchers in baseball In Wang.. Not many people get runs off him..

Tonight?!?!.. The Mets offense has sucked for almost a month! And Clemens' only other worthy advisary was the noodle swinging Pittsburgh Pirates! He just earned 2 million dollars so far and he's .500 with a 3.65 ERA...And more telling; he's got a 1.22 WHIP... Extremely mediocre numbers for a million bucks a game if you ask me!

BTW.. If you look at the RonFez.Net Fantasy League you'll see that I have Wang. I drafted him in lthe 2nd or 3rd round. I know he's one of the best in the majors. In fact, I believe he's worth far more than Clemens The Mercenary... As a matter of fact, I hope, in Clemens' next start, that Matt Holliday rips one up the middle so hard that it hits his fibula and takes him out like Theismann in '85... Then the Yanks have to pay him 21,000,000 dollars to lay on his couch.

Its fucking amazing how a month ago the Mets had one of the best records in baseball. Now they have the worst record amongst first place teams. Lets just thank God the Braves have played just as shitty and havent taken advantage of the Mets skid.

The only thing to figure out is what the hell is wrong?? Is it their are too many injuries?? I know that Alou is set to return as should Endy. Delgado is looking weak of late, and Glavine looks 61, not 41. Yet, I will watch every game and go to every Saturday game as part of my Shea package. Just scary to see a team take a tail spin like this. I only pray this is the worst skid of the season for the Metropolitans.

i dont mind the tailspin now, its better than it happening in sept or oct

mainly it just seems the starting pitching isnt as good as it was to start the season
and the injuries didnt help either

[BoondockSaint]

Our ace will come up big tonight.

[cougarjake13]

mets up 1-0

[cougarjake13]

david wright with a 2 out base hit to put the mets up 2-1

man i hope we're starting to get things back together

See I agree about it better to be happening now than later on during the season especially at August/Sept time. And I dont see the starting pitching as being as bad as it was when the season started last year. Remember Brian Bannister was one of the starters at the beginning of last year. I think Maine, Perez and Sosa have been nice; it is just plain old bad luck they have had the last few weeks. And that bad luck extends to Glavine as well. Now lets hope that Pedro comes back like the Pedro of old and we will have someone nice come playoff time. If they dont collapse and allow the Braves to overtake them in the meanwhile...

braves teams in the past would worry me about them overtaking us

but they dont really scare me right now as they are currently constituted

although im worried what might happen if they trade andruw jones and what they may get back for him

[docgoblin]

I've got a soft spot for Ricky Ledee. I would love for him to capture some of the "phenom" magic that he had back in the early 90's. It never really worked out for him, but I'd love it if he became what Mazilli was to the team in '86.

that was a rumor a few years ago too

i think someone posted that in the reds thread or the mlb thread


but for who ???

This is getting brutal... again!

Ok, so when does Willie and the team start to get concerned?

The Mets Will Come Back Tonight!!!!

Positive thinking. I like the angle Boonie

[docgoblin]

Ok, so when does Willie and the team start to get concerned?

I hope... NOW!!!!

Even Reyes can't get on!

[Bossanova]

Insert Joe Benigno crying now

[BoondockSaint]

Can't catch a fucking break.

[docgoblin]

How are they still in first place?!?!?

[Bossanova]

How are they still in first place?!?!?

The only thing that makes this game somewhat watchable is the Sox-Braves game on the other tv. Knowing that ATL is down 11-0 kind of helps the pain. Im still starting to sweat

[docgoblin]

Weren't we almost 20 games over .500 at one point?... Holy crap!!! BTW, we do realize that we faced a starter with a 7+ ERA tonight, right?

[BoondockSaint]

Our ace will come up big tonight.

The Mets Will Come Back Tonight!!!!


Keep your mouth shut, douchebag!

Like I said earlier. We are lucky that the rest of the NL east is weak this year. Goddamn these Mets are terrible in June. They need some sort of shake-up. Bring Heilman in for a start, or bring up one of the kids from the farm. I am not saying it has to be one of those things (and personally I think Heilman would be terrible as a starter), but Goddamn we need something to shake up this skidding team.

no b/c after this weekend we'll go back to playing the nl teams and prob get a lil healthy

and thankfully the only al team we'll have to face ever again this season is if we make the world series

[BoondockSaint]

The only spot I really worry about this team with is LF. You can't count on Alou. I like Alou and when he was in there he hit but he's never here. I admit that when Omar signed him I loved it but now I'm really worried. I like what I have seen from Gomez but right now he is a 7 or 8 hitter when our LF was supposed to be a 6 hitter protecting Wright. I think Omar will go get a starting pitcher (Burhle has been mentioned) even if Pedro looks to be fine. But to get a good LF bat will be tough right now.

im fine with a alou, chavez and gomez platoon if we can keep all three on the big league roster

but thats not to say i wont approve a trade for someone who might help the team better

I am not fine with a LF platoon. Alou has the best bat and if he is healthy, he needs to be in. Chavez has been exposed and is every time he plays more than once or twice evry 6 games. Gomez is to young to sit around. They need him now, but he needs to get more at bats to become a success.

Side note. Milledge needs to be traded soon. His stock has the rest of this year left. fewer and fewer teams seem to care about him

i dont even care about him anymore

last year i was a major opponent of a zito for milledge and heilman deal, now i wish we did it

[Bossanova]

Im actually sick of hearing about him anymore. Get rid of him

Milledge hasn't played in a couple of months and is still a few weeks away from playing so I'm not sure he will get traded this season, maybe in the off season. But trading him and Heilman for Zito last year would have been a disaster. The Mets would have had to sign Zito for what ever he wanted and look what he got. There is no way I want Zito for that long or for that $.

EDIT: Just looked: He's got a 4.83 ERA this year. You want 6 more years of that?

Great game all around tonight. Hopefully this gets us rolling.

[Marc with a c]

wow. mets win a series

hope there is a sweep tomorrow

[BoondockSaint]

Big big win tonight. I think my rally cap did it. The only thing is, I know Delgado is not a great fielding first baseman but he can't catch anythig lately.

but on the flip side zito might have gotten us to the worlds series and maybe even won it especially after seeing how the tigers played

i know we cant prove he would have helped us win but if he did and then we let him walk, i would be fine with that

[Doogie]

I was at the game last night...my seats are in the loge section 24 for every Saturday game. I mention this cause they are good seats but not that close to home plate. I had gotten back from the bathroom last night when LoDuca got thrown out and man alive you could hear him yelling from my area in spite of the crowd roaring too.

All in all it was a great game, a nice pitchers duel which to me is better than lots of runs anyday. El Duque stiking out a guy with a 53 MPH changeup is nice to see too. About time we won a series, and we are lucky the Braves are so terrible.

[Doogie]

Wow...fucking Jose Reyes is just absolutley exciting to watch. Anyone who DOESNT vote for him for All-Star is an idiot. 1-0 Mets right now!!

I know the A's are a weak team, but there is nothing like beating up on a weaker team to get your confidence back up. Now hopefully they will be able to carry the momentum.

3 straight let alone a sweep is always a nice sign

[cougarjake13]

3 straight let alone a sweep is always a nice sign

and the division has kept losing

[Doogie]

The NL east this is how the NL west was two years ago in the '05 season when the Padres clinched, I believe sub-500. Like I said the Mets have lucked out with the Phils and Braves playing like garbage as well.

well they finished 82-80 that year but they may have clinched sub 500


but look at the cards last year 83-79 and they win the series, 3 years ago they won over 100 and lost to the sawx

so who cares how we get in, as long as we do get in

[Doogie]

How long is it till Pedro comes back anyways?? Last I heard it was late Aug. Now I am hearing rumors of him possibly coming back in Late July.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

some bird bashing this week and some Phillie Humbling can help us distance ourselves from the Braves and Phillies

I want to be 7 games up by the All-Star break

:king:

[Marc with a c]

[BoondockSaint]

Fucking fantastic...what a great game. It is as I said, nothing like getting your confidence back and, goddwilling, with a lil luck we will look back on this point in June and be like 'remember when we were all panicing?'

Can we shoot The Shit Show please? Man do I hate him

[Doogie]

A win is a win. Even if it does come as a result of a rain delay. I have to admit I was getting a lil choked up watching the game they had during the delay (the 1st game in NY since the 9/11 attacks. I think it was on 9/21/01), and was annoyed that as of now they didnt finish the broadcast.

But Glavine has a complete game shutout and Wright has another home run. A series is a series. Ill take it.

[newport king]

if glavine doesnt give up that one hit....that'd be a shitty way to get the mets first no hitter.

[cougarjake13]

damn, that would have counted ???

[Marc with a c]

no, that wouldn't count

nice an early win today

and beltran hit 2 homers as the mets lead 5-1 in the top 8th in game 2

[cougarjake13]

i dont mind the walk to howard there

but we cant let burrell get up with the bases loaded

[weekapaugjz]

woo hoo! fuck the phillies.

John Maine should be on the All-Star team. 9-4, 2.74 ERA in 16 games started. That pretty good. I don't think anyone expected that. The man can be 10-4 when the break comes around, he's in line to pitch against the Rockies at Coors Field.

i hope he gets in

but we're prob gonna have too many guys selected already so that might work against him

[weekapaugjz]

damn it, i wish this game started at 1. i guess ill have to watch the yanks game :shudder: to pass the time before the game.

Pelfry striking out Howard...very very nice. A good sign.

[BoondockSaint]

Gomez is going to get killed hitting walls like that.

[BoondockSaint]

Willie should have given Franco the home run sign.

[cougarjake13]
