They should both be on the team. Hamels has had a only a couple poor outings which skews the ERA a bunch

7/2/2007 1:24:29 AM

Kaz Matsui you sonofabitch...

Anyway, it's nice knowing that even when you lose the two teams behind you love to throw away chances to get closer. Once this team gets healthy again the rest of the division is going to be left in the dust...

7/4/2007 12:24:01 PM

C'mon Feliciano...

Beltran needs to fucking wake up. He's killing the offense right now.

[Edited on July 7, 2007 at 9:29 PM. Reason : god damn Feliciano is nasty...]

7/7/2007 9:27:44 PM

I've been watching baseball for a long time

And Beltran's catch on the hill was one of the finest I have ever seen

That was your typical Jim Edmond's esque running straight back over the head catch...

...except it was a tie game in the 14th inning and he made the play running at up a fucking hill, 410 feet from home plate.


I don't know how many 0-fers you can erase with one great play, but Beltran at least temporarily silenced the critics tonight.

The big question is: How does it compare to Endy's LCS catch last year?

I think you have to give it to Chavez based on the circumstances, but both will be on highlight reels for years to come.

7/8/2007 1:14:44 AM

^easily has to be Endys, it was much more important....still cant believe Beltran looks at the curveball right down the middle

7/8/2007 10:16:07 PM

When Rickey got the call, Rickey had to take the job

Rickey Henderson is the new Mets batting coach.

7/11/2007 11:29:22 PM

damn that motherfucker is older than julio franco

also nobody will EVER break his stolen base record

7/11/2007 11:31:02 PM

julio franco should be the player/batting coach

7/12/2007 12:44:00 AM

Julio Franco should just retire and coach. Forget the player part. I'd rather have Rickey pinch hitting...

----- Lastings called back up and will start tonight! He tore up AAA this year and is ready to make his mark I think.. We could use it.

7/12/2007 12:46:59 PM

whoa

Quote :

"Milledge was the Mets' top prospect when he made his major league debut in May 2006. In his first month, he showed off the considerable talent that made him such a highly coveted player, but also made his share of missteps on and off the field. He was reprimanded for not running hard on the bases and also arrived late to the clubhouse for a game. Near the end of the season, a sign was posted in his locker at Washington -- "Know your place, rook. Your teammates," it said. "

7/12/2007 4:42:54 PM

retarded sidenote to the thread:

in my MLB 2K7 franchise I did a fantasy draft...drafted Reyes first...anyway, about 75 games into the season, he has like 50 HR, 120 RBI, 15 3B, about 50 SB...batting like .480...from the leadoff spot lololol

7/12/2007 4:50:01 PM

Yeah, he has been a headcase but everyone says he has gone through a wakeupcall. So hopefully he is better this time around...

Oh, and the Mets DFA'd Franco... I'm good.

^ ahah... I simmed my first season and played a few games along the way but Reyes won MVP.. 19 HRs, 87 RBI, 133 R, 92 SB and a .410 OBP with the gold glove... but Bobby Abreu won AL MVP with 49 HRs and 130 RBIs... wtf.

[Edited on July 12, 2007 at 4:52 PM. Reason : x]

7/12/2007 4:50:22 PM

ya well in my 2009 season of mvp baseball matt holliday had 20 HR in april

so...
yeah.

7/12/2007 11:13:48 PM

HoJo was named hitting coach. Rickey is the first base coach... good move.

Maine goes for his NL leading 11th win tonight.

7/13/2007 3:55:31 PM

and against the miserable Reds...however Harang is pitching and he has like 9 wins

7/13/2007 3:59:34 PM

^^ Maybe they will name Wally Backman 3rd base coach tomorrow

7/13/2007 5:05:48 PM

Fucking win tonight, assholes. Make it 2.5 again.

7/17/2007 9:32:22 PM

6-0 in the first?

9-4 in the third?

Enough for Glavine to win? Nope... thanks for nothing tonight dick.

7/19/2007 11:34:00 PM

Phils are playing some good ball... Braves are fading but that Phillies offense worries me...

The pitching is bound to get healthy at some point too...

[Edited on July 29, 2007 at 1:29 PM. Reason : triple post.. usually I can't go one post without a troll.. whats going on?]

7/29/2007 1:29:09 PM

aha Beltran on the DL

8/1/2007 8:23:39 AM

Half the Phillies team is on the DL now with Victorino and Bourn going on yesterday to join Utley. They are playing great ball though and Hamels is a stud. Burrell has been tearing it up.

I think the Mets picking up Castillo was a good trade. He'll fit well into that lineup with his speed (granted he's not the SB threat he once was) and ability to make pitchers work.

Thank God the Brewers finally pulled it out last night. Fucking Lasting Milledge. His first sliding catch was bullshit and he did need to slide. The second catch was legit.






[Edited on August 1, 2007 at 12:08 PM. Reason : h]

8/1/2007 12:07:55 PM

Castillo is a good bunter also

8/1/2007 12:10:11 PM

I'm sort of shocked the Phillies are playing well still with the injuries.

They should def. start Myers though. They don't have enough rotation depth to win the division with him as a closer...

I still think the Mets win it by 4-5 games.. but last night was a bad loss in a winnable game.

8/1/2007 1:30:17 PM

WOW

Prince hit that ball 600 feet

8/1/2007 8:20:35 PM

Fuck you Perez. Learn to god damn throw to 2nd base.

[Edited on August 1, 2007 at 8:34 PM. Reason : thx you ramon]

8/1/2007 8:21:01 PM

3-0 Brewers, Fielder just CRUSHED one to center. Braves up 7-0, it's ON.

8/1/2007 8:21:03 PM

^^11 K's and the W

8/2/2007 12:15:15 AM

Castillo is 0-5 today...oh man you sure did swindle a superstar away from the Twins

8/2/2007 4:43:13 PM

3 games... Reyes and Castillo 1 and 2 is going to be nasty once he gets settled. Last night the pressure they put on made Hardy make a huge error that led to the game being put away...

Plus he is a great defensive 2B...

[Edited on August 2, 2007 at 4:55 PM. Reason : but you got a AA C hitting .188 though!]

8/2/2007 4:55:28 PM

^ I don't think the Braves are too concerned about C. They can always call up Brayan Pena from AAA too. He played okay last year when he had a chance.

8/2/2007 5:21:49 PM

Can someone please put a line drive in the side of Zambrano's skull. Jesus, he is annoying. Dude, you struck out Marlon Anderson in a game in early August. You didn't just win the World Series... chill.

At least he has thrown a TON of pitches and El Duque has been way more efficient.

8/3/2007 3:42:06 PM

Castro is on a tear

He's playing better than Lo Duca for the past few months

8/3/2007 3:50:41 PM

Green!

Come on Wagner... close it down!


[Edited on August 3, 2007 at 5:17 PM. Reason : put milledge in for green after this AB for defense...]]

8/3/2007 5:16:02 PM

Congrats Tom, on win number 300!!!

8/5/2007 11:27:39 PM

never been happy after a met win but gg tommy

8/5/2007 11:30:02 PM

^^ Still going to go in the Hall as a Brave

Big series tonight. The Braves will have to hit the shit out of the ball to have a chance, but with Renteria out and Andruw hurting, the lineup is not as dangerous.

I hope Tex hits a line drive off of ugly ass Oliver Perez's face and that makes him stop acting like a damn retard on the mound.

8/7/2007 4:46:33 PM

When I saw the dude who caught Bonds's 756 HR, for a second I thought it might be NyM410. He had on a Mets jersey, was fairly young, and I know that NyM410 goes to SF games and lives in that area.





[Edited on August 8, 2007 at 12:11 PM. Reason : /]

8/8/2007 12:11:01 PM

I got two calls asking if that was me because they couldn't see the face and I have that Reyes jersey... I was at home watching it on TV though

8/8/2007 12:23:55 PM

^^haha I thought the same thing

8/8/2007 12:24:56 PM

Amazing what a team that can actually hit with RISP and 2 outs can do.

8/8/2007 8:52:16 PM

looks like they're about to choke this one away

8/8/2007 9:57:29 PM

ugh.

[Edited on August 8, 2007 at 10:03 PM. Reason : .]

8/8/2007 9:58:16 PM

^^scratch that...you can count on andruw jones to choke more than about anybody this season

8/8/2007 10:01:31 PM

Wagner has been untouchable... until tonight. But damn if he didn't get out of it... Too bad he doesn't have the save opportunities or he'd be in the Cy Young race...

8/8/2007 10:10:11 PM

Don't get to excited. He got Andruw to ground into a DP, that's pretty common these days.

8/8/2007 10:13:24 PM

Andruw probably will be involved in another DP in the shower after the game

8/8/2007 10:18:09 PM

Just fucking throw at Chippers chin god damn it. How the fuck can you let him get so comfortable in the box AB after AB.

This is pathetic. This team destroys everyone in the NL except the one fucking team I hate. Doesn't matter since ATL isn't a playoff team anyway but it's annoying as shit.

8/9/2007 2:06:51 PM

8/9/2007 2:17:26 PM

No wonder the Braves suck in the postseason. They blow their loads on beating the Mets. Another career minor leaguer with a game saving catch. Go figure.
