I thought he was excited about the reunion of DX

can't you be excited for both? I know i am.

The Yankees should trade for Todd Jones and try to bring back Gabe White. That would be awesome to have that many porn staches on the same squad.

but then we would need waah waah guitars and the only one that plays guitars on the yankees is..... BERNIE!!!!

 

[bob_arctor]

anyone is better than stinnett

QFT. If Fasano can hit even a little, fine by me. This move will allow us to rest Jorge more too. Damon's a go for tonight as well. We need to finish this sweep, have a well-earned day off, then Wang goes on Friday (we're skipping Ponson until 8/5).

Maine looks like the real deal. Hopefully, the Mets can get him a win today.

and then...? i mean, what then? we cant be as lucky as we've been. we need to go on another hot streak and keep the pressure on the bosox.

We've been playing well overall since the break save the Toronto series. I say we keep on being the "slow and steady wins the race" team that never goes on an extended streak but somehow, some way, is always right there in the standings. And anyway, you know where all this is headed:

5 game series in Boston.



As for hot streak, we can sweep tonight, then sweep Tampa and there you go.

 

[The Frankman]

Sweet pitching

between Cubs and Mets today.

Cubs - 0
Mets - 0
Bottom 8th

By this point, how can you not have faith? All the injuries, Randy pitching like crap for a long while, useless 5th starter, the A-Rod circus. We have less losses then the Mets for Chrissakes. 1/2 game out of the wildcard. Bosox see us in the rearview. This is a team of necessity built to confound everyone, even the haters.

maybe by october, andy phillips and melky would have made the cover of sports illustrated sorta like shane spencer.

CARL EVERETT DFA'D!

Rot in hell bigotasaurus!

Doyle for DH!

I guess he was pissed that all the close calls were going the Jays way, he should be more concerned that Gil Meche sucks.

His numbers are pretty good for a shortstop I guess, OPS is a little average but OPS doesn't matter. /joe morgan.

Betancourt is an empty singles hitter. He doesn't walk and other than the occassional triple he doesn't hit for any power. In reality he's going to be more of a .260-.270 type guy with a lower OPS than what he's put up this year even. His defense however is otherworldly and that is why as long as he hits at least .250 he will be in the majors.

 

[Kuroyume]

Ian Snell made 129 TSNP for me yesterday in our salary league and I was going to get rid of him yesterday too. :lol I think that's the most a pitcher has made for me all season...

 

[Weaselred]

Wooo Everett is Gone!!! And Snelling is here!!! I started yelling for joy in my car when I heard this. Although I will miss the Rally Dino

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

damn, and here i thought the mets were gonna give up 8 runs again.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

twinkies already leading 3-0 in the third.

 

[R_GILL]

LOL Towers is going to get another chance if JP doesnt acquire a pitcher by the deadline.

Don't kid yourselves. Yes you've had a rash of injuries, but your everyday lineup still has Slappy, Calm Eyes, HGH, John Damon, and Passedballa in it. Despite having to shuffle turds in and out at the back end of the order, your lineup is still better than most MLB teams.

Is this how you rationalize your fear? I see.

so if we have all those people... um? did you just contradict yourself? we aint kidding ourselves, we can make the playoffs with the way things are in the league.

Heilman better not throw this game out for us.

Valentin!!

 

[CajoleJuice]

Woooo

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Poor Cubbies.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

guess they won.

 

[The Frankman]

LOL Marrero kicking Valentin!!!

10 walkoff wins!!
22nd 1-run win!!
Ballgame over!
Mets win, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Mets WIN!!

Hahah the Rally Dino got around. Edit: oops yours was the animated one, guess it wasn't working at first...

As far as the originators of the image are concerned (that is the crew at LoL) it can still be used.

Next to go: Mike Hargrove, pleeeeeease. Followed by WFB.

 

[Link]

Finally pushed a run across after god knows how many chances the last couple of innings. I know I certainly didn't want to be swept by the Cubs. I mean, how would you live that down?

Now I root for the Marlins tonight.

 

[Kuroyume]

Maine is the real freaking deal.

 

[Mrbob]

Mets proved over the last 3 days they are complete garbage.

NL should just send an extra AL team to the world series to represent the league so we have a competitive series.

I would rather be a Royals fan than a Cubs fan.

Strong words considering your team has been swept by Houston, Florida, and Washington, and you've lost series to plenty of crappy teams.

And the Cubs just took two out of three in New York against the Mets, and it took the Mets 10 innings to score one run to win the game, so what does that make them? A mediocre team which is only winning because they are in a pourous division!

while the mets have played well, if they were in teh american league, they'd be toast.

Braves bullpen will come through for us.

 

[Desperado]

The NL really is shit this year. meh.

 

[Kuroyume]

No. This whole AL is superior bullshit is just a myth.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

No. This whole AL is superior bullshit is just a myth.

win and losses say otherwise. it's no myth. NL pitchers coming to the AL get killed.

 

[The Frankman]

regular season you make a name, playoffs is where you make your fame.

AL vs. NL = means CRAP in Postseason

A funny statistical comparison:

Maine / El Duque combined in 2006:
133.0 IP, 4.67 ERA, 129 H, 21 HR,48 BB, 126 K

Benson in 2006:
133.2 IP, 4.71 ERA, 140 H, 21 HR, 46 BB, 62 K

Maine & El Duque cost about half as much as Benson does in 2006, so I guess overall, this looks pretty good for the Mets, especially considering that Maine is 25 and under control for 5+ more years.

Omar= GM of Year.

Every team is going to drop a series against a crap team once in a while. At least you seem to have let go of any chances the Cubs have to go anywhere this year, though.

 

[_Angelus_]

So if the A.L. is that much better then what does it mean when teams like the Devil Rays put it to the Yankees and RedSox? Or when the WhiteSox loose 11 out of their last 14? Its means about the same as it does when the Cubbies almost sweep the Mets-its a long season and anyone can be beaten. Atleast keep the shit talking down till the playoffs begin.:lol

This would be you, Mrbob? Just wondering . . .

Oh yeah, what a f'n meltdown by a Cubs fan., must listen to!!!

means they are improving their team? both teams are on a decline?

 

[Kuroyume]

200 million dollar team on a decline... :lol

 

[Mrbob]

I feel sorry for the Mets fans. You think your team is good but they won't even make it out of the divisional series.

Every team is going to drop a series against a crap team once in a while. At least you seem to have let go of any chances the Cubs have to go anywhere this year, though.

Oh I gave up when DLEE went down. Thankfully it sounds like Dusty will be returning next year so everything is peachy!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

200 million dollar team on a decline... :lol

if the players get old and the rest are injured then yes, i'd say it's a decline. and it's not like the ****ing mets are winning on the cheap. they spent 225 million on free agents the last two years.

 

[The Frankman]

I feel sorry for the Mets fans. You think your team is good but they won't even make it out of the divisional series...

Which is better, to think your 1st place team is good or to think your 2nd worst record in NL team is good? And I NEVER ONCE mentioned Mets wining WS on this board. I know the playoffs are a different animal, but I like their shot over the other NL teams.

Oh I gave up when DLEE went down. Thankfully it sounds like Dusty will be run out of town next year so everything is peachy!

Fixed for what 75% of Cubs fans hope.


Also some John Maine numbers over the last 2 starts:
17 2/3 IP
7 H
0 R
4 BB
11 K

You go, kid.
