I want Cliff Lee to never win again.

Im sure one of you know this, but what is record for losses in a year where the pitcher also had 0 wins

 

[The Frankman]

David Wright is good baseball person.

RBI bloop single, three straight hits with 2 outs. 2-0 Mets.

Terry Felton, '82 Twins, 0-13. I think. But he only started 6 games in 82.

You could say he is quite the "ball dude".

 

[jakncoke]

just noticed that Astros are letting Brian Bixler play hah. fuck that guy

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

What the hells a batman doing in the outfield?

 

[The Frankman]

Oh you kidder

What the hells a batman doing in the outfield?

A Batman? He's the motherfucking Batman, dude.

 

[The Frankman]

Holy crap if Mets score in this inning Manuel and Lee will KILL Mayberry Jr.

 

[Prade]

The Phillies at the half way point of the year have 36 wins. Only 1 team in the history of the game has gotten into the Postseason with that few wins during the first half. That would be the 73' Mets who won 82 ballgames. Start selling Phils!

 

[McNei1y]

These Nats man

 

[Link]

Well fuck...

 

[Prade]

Oh btw Hampson was DFA'd and Valdespin was called up. Because we totally need 300 infielders over another left hander.

 

[Link]

I'm getting the feeling that's the game.

 

[The Frankman]

Fastball right down the middle. Young is susceptible to the longball with him throwing high fastballs, he can't miss location.

EDIT: Like that again. They are sitting high fastball right now.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

GODDAMN IT, LEE CAN'T WIN

 

[yankeehater]

Utley!!

 

[yankeehater]

Back to Back! Ruiz!

 

[The Frankman]

GODDAMN IT, LEE CAN'T WIN

Warthen goes to the mound, and 4 of the next 5 pitches are curveballs.

Warthen pretty much called it, they were sitting on his fastball and Dan told Young to throw his curve/change more.

 

[Prade]

Wright Powah! Team better hit like this tom. when im there live.

God damn it! Our bad luck charm is at it again!

 

[The Frankman]

Miguel Batista works the 8th? Over Ramirez?

I assume Byrdak is ready once a lefty bats and they don't want to waste a RHP for when the righty bats again.

EDIT: Well that was quick.

 

[Corran Horn]

Felt weird to watch a baseball game at 9am

 

[Prade]

Every time with this bullpen. EVERY TIME. Don't wait til July 31st, Sandy, the time to make a move is now.

 

[Link]

Yeah, this game's over. If it goes how I figure, the Mets will go quietly.

 

[The Frankman]

Byrdak tries to backdoor a slider, and as usual it slides up the middle. 4-2 on the GR double.

Now this is big out time, Mets have to get outta the inning with no more runs scoring to have a chance to come back.

 

[Sharp]

lol Madbum. Great game to be at. Tomorrow night's 1920's gimmick looks pretty awesome.

You know better than that, Frank.

Fireworks.

I was there too.

 

[Prade]

The D seems to try and match the bullpen's shittiness during these late innings.

EDIT: Meanwhile, Beato in AAA: 24 IP, 1.13 ERA.

 

[The Frankman]

Hefner with a very poor pitch there, but of course Duda misplays it.

EDIT: Now Tejada? Come on.

You know better than that, Frank.

With as many 2-out runs the Mets have scored I don't know how you can be so amazingly negative.

 

[yankeehater]

Ruiz is so good.

 

[Link]

Yep. Now the Mets just have to go hitless the rest of the game, as per standard protocol.

I was talking about the 1920's thing.

 

[The Frankman]

Designated hitter Travis Hafner is in the Cleveland Indians' starting lineup against the Los Angeles Angels after being activated from the disabled list.

Outfielder Shelley Duncan, whose wife is expecting twins, was placed on the paternity list Wednesday to make roster room.

Hafner had right knee surgery May 31 and Cleveland has missed his bat in the middle of the lineup. He hit .242 with six homers and 23 RBIs in 39 games before getting hurt May 24.

This was the eighth DL stint and sixth in four years for Hafner, who is in the final season of a $57 million, four-year contract. The Indians hold a $13 million club option for next season.

How much does he have left?

 

[Link]

With as many 2-out runs the Mets have scored I don't know how you can be so amazingly negative.

Because the Mets become very predictable once they falter. Whether it's the bullpen or the shoddy defense, their bats always seem to follow.

 

[The Frankman]

Wow at that pitch. Too close to take but Wright is hot, that pitch has not been consistently called all game.

damn, ump got some rabbit ears out there.

 

[The Frankman]

Wow Jason Pridie is on the Phils? He looks... fat.

EDIT: THAT'S the Pridie I remember. Tough out with 2 strikes.

 

[The Frankman]

Hanging slider to Wigginton, Ty has been hitting those for 10 years.

3 in the 8th, 3 in the 9th. Mets HAVE to get some bullpen help this month, it's July already.

He has looked really good since they called him up.

Mets go hitless after giving up the lead. SHOCKER!

And Frank, I'll stop being so negative when they start proving me wrong.

You should've stopped being negative months ago then! You just weren't posting on GAF in April!

It's gonna be Hamels vs. Dickey in the rubber game tomorrow.

You don't say . Will the Coupons reach into their pockets tho? This is what worries me.

 

[Link]

I've never believed they were a 100-loss team like analysts were saying, and they've done well overall this season, but they've suffered from the same shortcomings for the past several years. It's incredibly frustrating to watch over and over again.

 

[yankeehater]

Cliff Lee wins!!! Hopefully this is the game that turns his season around.

 

[The Frankman]

I have no doubt they're pay for one, as an ok reliever isn't expensive. My issue is are there any good ones to be had? If you want a Myers/Balfour teams are going to ask for prospects, and Sandy has said he isn't giving up A prospects (nor should he).

 

[darkside31337]

Cliff Lee won today? Doing it for America!

 

[Sharp]

He is a true American hero.

 

[Dominican Power]

I seriously hate BJ Upton's windup on his swing.

 

[Windu]

He is a true American hero.

yeah is he a conservative hero? Bryce Harper > Cliff Lee.

Familia has become kind of expendable at this point as he's getting completely shelled down in AAA. I wouldn't mind seeing Sandy dangling him around at teams. I also think that a another righty is needed to cover up some of our offensive holes. Yeah we're third in runs, but how long can you rely on Wright hitting .350 and the 2 out magic? Can Dickey really continue this video gamey pace or will he eventually just cool off and ease onto 18 wins instead of 22, 23 or even 24? Help is needed beyond a cheap reliever, and that's where the checkbook is going to need to be opened, which I doubt will happen. Regardless of all of that, Beato needs to be called up NOW.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Yankees have claimed OF Darnell McDonald off waivers from the Red Sox.
