Rich Hofmann: SAINTana
New York disgustingly canonizes new ace before he even pitches

Beltran today (http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080216&content_id=2375631&vkey=spt2008news&fext=.jsp&c_id=nym):
Quote"To Jimmy Rollins: We are the team to beat."
QuoteMinutes after making his comments -- in response to a question regarding his thoughts on Santana -- he acknowledged that he's now bound to become a popular enemy in Philadelphia.
"I don't care," Beltran said. "They boo me in Houston. One more city won't make a difference."
It's Spring Training, time for non-stories to get blown out of proportion.
Hate.
this whole predicition thing is so gay now...jimmys was awesome last year...but then he had to go and make a joke of it all now saying 100 wins for the phils
then idiot beltran follows it up with the same thing rollins said a year ago?...weak shtein
plus it takes a real man to say youre the favorite right after you get the best pictcher in baseball
I can't wait until the season starts so the Phils can pimp these iceholes again.

No response from Phils... Rollins not in camp yet. (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-boringphillies&prov=ap&type=lgns)
No doubt that Rollins gives the company-line no comment as well.
As igy said, a non-story. But even this is better than another day of HGH talk.

Non-story... always is. Rollins was last year as well. Hell, dook on the Cubs predicted they'd win the WS. Who gives a shtein? It's February. I'd rather them be the team to beat in September/October.
They ARE the team to beat, btw...
The Mets were the team to beat last summer, too, Feva.
And beat them the Phillies did. Over and over agan. ;D

Exactly. It's not like Rollins was boasting after the Phils had a monsterous offseason. They were basically the same team they had been for the previous few years that kept coming up short in September. He also backed up his smack with an MVP season.
Beltran's a damn good player but all he's doing right now is talking ish to the schoolyard bully now that his big brother is around. Too bad big brother is only there to protect him every 5th day.
How many times are the Phils going to face Santana during the season? Maybe 5? That still leaves at least 13 games without him.
Rollins was at least honest and legitimate in his comments last year. Beltran comes off as a hysterical bitch especially in his comparison of Philly to Houston. If he thinks the treatment he'll receive in Philly is anything like he receives in Houston, he's in for the shock of his life.

"2007 New York Mets"
So the Mets panicked at the thought of Adam Eaton, Pat Burrell, and Wes Helms (at the time), and thought the only way to combat that triple threat was to pay a kajillion dollars to Johan Santana?

I'm the last person to defend Burrell, but the way to get that joker out is with hard sliders down and away. He'll flail at those on the regular and look horrible doing it.
But he'll kill a dead red fastball (you know this by watching him own Billy Wags) and he will kill a change that doesn't change.
QuotePORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Forget the Phillies. Billy Wagner nearly started a beanball war with the University of Michigan Tuesday after one overzealous Wolverine tried to bunt on him in the fourth inning. With a runner on second and one out, center fielder Kevin Cislo pushed his bunt attempt foul.
Wagner, clearly annoyed, shook his head a number of times, and Cislo wisely chose to swing away, grounding to short. Afterward, when asked about the at-bat, Wagner couldn't believe that Cislo, a junior, attempted the bunt.
"If he got that bunt down, I would have drilled the next guy," Wagner said. "Play to win against Villanova."
Asked about Wagner's reaction, Manager Willie Randolph laughed.
"He couldn't bring himself to drill the kid," Randolph said. "Nolan Ryan might have. Nolan or Roger (Clemens) may have done it, kid or not."
While the Mets viewed the game as their preseason tuneup, Michigan was fired up, and Randolph mentioned that all the Wolverines' chatter " -- -- me off a little bit." As it turned out, the Mets had a game on their hands.
Michigan carried a 4-2 lead into the ninth and was one out away from a win before Anderson Machado drew a walk. Michel Abreu, who replaced Carlos Delgado in the third inning, smashed a deep drive off the hitter's eye in centerfield, but stopped at second when the umpiring crew -- made up of four women -- did not signal a home run.
"I couldn't believe it," Randolph said. "It went halfway up the pole. But you can't argue in a college game, man."
Moments later, Abreu was awarded the two-run homer. The game ended in a 4-4 tie, but the big loser was Notre Dame alum Aaron Heilman, who now has to sing the Michigan fight song in the clubhouse after allowing a run in the second inning. The song, "Hail to the Victors" was played over the stadium speakers before Michigan came to bat in the first inning.
"I heard it and it made my stomach cringe," Heilman said.
I guess a tie in that game is the ideal outcome for an asshat that roots for both Michigan and the Mets.

While that is true...Burrell did a real good job laying off of that pitch last year, which is why he had a career high in walks and a career low in K's.
Wagner thought about drilling a college kid for having the temerity to bunt on him. . . in a scrimmage?

Runoff to determine Mets' new 8th inning song
The Mets will have a runoff to determine their new eighth-inning sing-along tune.
The organization received 5 million votes on its Web site after inviting fans to choose from among 10 selections to potentially replace Sweet Caroline. An issue arose, however, when FARK.com readers bombarded the Mets with gag votes for a write-in candidate: Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.
The Astley tune actually won.
Rather than commit to that as the new eighth-inning tune since it probably doesn't reflect the fan base's wishes, the Mets will play the top six selections once apiece during the first six games of their home stand. The one that draws the largest crowd response will stick.
The other songs that made the cut, in descending order: Livin' on a Prayer, Bon Jovi; I'm a Believer, The Monkees; Movin' Out, Billy Joel; Sweet Caroline, Neil Diamond; and Build Me Up Buttercup, The Foundations.
The Mets suggested the Fark tune winning didn't necessarily result in the runoff, saying the contest rules stipulated Internet voters would "help decide" the outcome.
The internet is serious business.
ha, i voted for rick astley this morning. thats awesome he won.

Memo to Mets fans; Your bullpen sucks and will be the reason you don't win the division.
True, the Mets bullpen sucks. But the Philllies pen sucks just as much, if not more.
Your closer is old. Ours is either gun-shy or damaged goods or something. But both are ex-Astros.
I don't think the WS winner is coming out of the NL East this year.
Heilman can't suck this much all year, he is much better than that. And Show came in and got the big DP, I thought they were gonna blow it right there. If he pitches like he did 2 years ago that would be a big boost.
And every year since the Mets got wagner he's been old, but he keeps doing his thing, and does it good.
haha, yeah, Wagner's "thing" is lumping up in big games, and he does that damn good
Wagners velocity 3 years ago was in the upper 90's, now it tops out at 93.
Or 95. It depends on which speed gun you're using, Wingspan's or SunMo's.
I used munsons speed gun which topped out at 110

Wow, that actually sucks. I wonder if the dude was wasted or if it was just some freak accident. The article said his wife is prego right now too. Sad.
yeah, there's more to that story...how do you lose your balance and fall off an escalator?
QuoteNararainsami was walking down the escalator, which wasn't moving, and was holding the hand rail when he "lost his footing."
"You'll never see an 'Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order' sign...just 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs'. Sorry for the convenience."
So this guy was basically walking down steps and slipped but somehow fell over a railing. umm
i'd be willing to bet he was being wacky by trying to jump on the side rail or something and he slipped
I was at the Orange Bowl a few years ago and I saw a guy fall face first into the grid at the bottom of the escalator. It was one of the gnarliest things I've ever seen. Dude was chewed up with gashes and blood flowing all over his face.
Nasty.
the story is the guy was trying to slide down the railing and fell to his death.
and he was wearing a phillies jersey.
He was wearing a Mets hat and a Phillies jersey?

Quote"Big news out of the clubhouse postgame: Jose Reyes says his dancing days are back. The shortstop, who homered for the first time this season in Wednesday's 5-2 win against the Nationals, was convinced to return to his choreographed routines and spontaenous celebrations by none other than Carlos Beltran before the series opener."I see when somebody's not happy," Beltran said. "I didn't think he was happy. I told him, 'I want you to be the Reyes you've always been.' Him being quiet, that's not him. ... We don't care if other teams get offended."
Said Reyes: "Everything is back."
Good.
So he'll hit a solo shot, hot dog it and then catch one in the ear flap.
IN!
14 innings, Mets win on an Easley single, wild pitch, wild pick off throw, two IBBs and then another wild pitch.
The Nats struck out 17 Mets.
Reyes is a fag.

why would i ever go into newspapers. they are on the doorstep of extinction. and i am right. you cannot be cursing at some douchebag guido in a giants jersey one second then high-fiving him the next if hes wearing a mets jersey. it doesnt work like that. philly hates new york. people from that cesspool called new jersey need to pick a town to align with and stick to it.

its the exact reason why ny will never approach being the sports city philly is...mets fans might be as good as philly fans and ranger fans as good as flyer fans but because in ny every other house on your block likes a different team you will never approach philly as a great sports city
thats because it ny. half the people move out the area and are transplants in dc or la or something. also mets are collectively much too trashy to be considered good fans. why oh why would someone build them a nice stadium, the fans are such dirty human beings they cant possibly keep it clean.

You're far too young and stupid to be making rules. Let me know next time you come to Jersey so I can throw you over the Bayonne Bridge.
the only good thing in jersey is atlantic city. otherwise the only thing to do there is take the turnpike to ny or philly.
Well, DH... I guess we've got to pick a side now. The Temple Wonderboy strongly disapproves of our fanhood. I mean... with his opinion meaning SO MUCH to us, we've got no choice but to cave into the peer pressure. Or......

Wagner called the Mets "fortunate" to be 14-12 and openly criticized Perez.
"Perez has honestly got to step up and know that we've just used every guy in our bullpen the night before," Wagner said. "He can't come out there and decide that gee, he hasn't got it today, and so be it."
Asked if someone ought to relay that sentiment to Perez, Wagner suggested it would be "pretty much" like talking to a wall.

As he is a Met, I think this is absolutely hilarious and give Wagner a lot of credit for his honesty.

From a Mets beat writer blog;
QuoteThat undercurrent over some Mets ducking the media bolied over after the game. As reporters spoke with Billy Wagner after the loss first about the Yankees series, then about today's game, Wagner wondered aloud why the closer was drawing attention. Then he went Paul Lo Duca-esque minus the racial component. He looked over toward Carlos Delgado's locker and blurted: Someone tell me why the (expletive) you're talking to the closer. I didn't even play. They're over there not being interviewed.......... I got it. They're gone (expletive) shocker.
Kurkjian was pointing out on SC tonight how the Mets are not hustling anymore either. Wright loafing down to first, Reyes loafing to 3rd, Castillo loafing...
This is great.
what a bunch of dogs. great.

Delgado was robbed of a 3-run homer by the umps. The third base umpire originally correctly (if hesitantly) called it fair, but was overruled by the home plate umpire after calling a conference. Would have made it 6-0. Instead, Delgado hits a single to make the game 4-0.

I think you're vastly overrating how much I care about the year Johan Santana has.

Is there a worse possible way to lose a baseball game than that?
walk-off balk, which i believe jose mesa did at some point during his phillies career

QuoteFAN MEATHEAD VS. MET-HEAD
By JOHN DOYLE
June 7, 2008 --
Cops called out a rowdy baseball buff who tried to take on Mr. Met.
At a recent game, the drunken fan manhandled the Amazin's smiling, giant-baseball-headed mascot, police said. He also allegedly knocked down kids and took a swing at a security guard.
The action happened at last Saturday's thriller, which ended with a 3-2 Met come-from-behind win against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Christian Hansen of Gowanus, Brooklyn, was seen "harassing Mr. Met and pushing little children out of the way" at Shea Stadium, a law-enforcement source said.
When security officials told the soused sports nut to leave, he refused.
Then, as security guards escorted out the Mr. Met-basher, Hansen took a wild swing at an employee and spit in his face, law-enforcement sources said.
Cops arrested Hansen, 32, and charged him with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and harassment. He was arraigned Sunday and released without bail.
A woman who identified herself as Hansen's girlfriend denied he had been in a confrontation with guards or Mr. Met.
"It's not true," she said. "Nothing ever happened with Mr. Met."
Hansen, who could not be reached, is due back in court on July 22.
Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz declined comment.

Minaya also signed Abe Nunez to a minor league deal.
To go along with the rest of the aging hispanic players.

and he gave up a rbi single to make it 6-5 and then a 3-run homerun to .231 hitter Tony Clark

QuoteThey haven't played like a playoff team, but the Mets still believe they are one. And Tuesday, before facing the Diamondbacks, the Mets players emerged from a brief players-only, closed-door meeting, each carrying a piece of paper with a blueprint for a future that includes the postseason.
One player allowed the Daily News a quick glance at the sheet, which looked a lot like a flow chart with a series of arrows. At the top was the team's record entering Tuesday night's game, 30-32. Near the bottom was a circled final regular-season record of 92-70.
Below that was an arrow pointing to a single word: "Playoffs."
The sheet also had several phrases and motivational messages. One said "We B4 I." Another read "team above self." A third message was "we have time."

They've been getting roasted all day long. Its great to listen too.
So Manuel's first game as the manager sees that fag of a SS lead off with a hit and then get pulled for a PR. He then proceeded to throw a hissy fit as he left the field and the manager followed him down the tunnel. :-D
i'm pretty sure it's now called a nationwide league move by a nationwide league organization.
QuoteManuel met resistance from a helmet-tossing Jose Reyes on Tuesday night, when the shortstop's left hamstring tightened and he didn't want to leave the game. Reyes eventually headed for the showers, and shortly afterward apologized to Manuel for the well-intentioned insubordination.
"I told him next time he does that I'm going to get my blade out and cut him. I'm a gangster. You go gangster on me, I'm going to have to get you. You do that again, I'm going to cut you right on the field," quipped Manuel, who reinserted Reyes at shortstop and the leadoff spot for last night's series finale against the Angels.
thats actually pretty cool and sounds like exactly what they need after that marshmellow randolph
Manuel referring to himself as a ganster is not cool. It's farging retarded. The obsession with being 'gangster' is so 1998.
he was joking

was it clean, or can i make fun of the mets fans i know for it. i will anyway i just want to know what degree to take it to with the phillies doing pretty good lately and all. it would be some great ammunition if it was a cheap shot.
C'mon fellas; hate the Mets all you want, but be a little fair..
After a wild pitch Felix (making the right baseball play) covered home and Beltran (also making the right baseball play) slid home and a collision ensued which turned Felix's ankle. Normal ass baseball play. What was he supposed to do - not come home because he may have caused an injury?
You idiots are making this out to be like Rose barrelling over Ray Fosse. Watch the play, please.
I never said it was dirty at all. He did what he was supposed to do, Felix was the one who farged up and got bulldozed for it.
I'm fully entitled to twist anything the Mets do in a negative light, because they suck ass.
QuoteJose Reyes and Keith Hernandez had to be separated on the Mets' charter plane Sunday night after a tense confrontation over Hernandez's critical comments about the All-Star shortstop.
A team source described the situation aboard the plane as "very heated." One player told The Post that he thought Reyes and the popular former Met - now an analyst for the club's SNY TV network - were close to exchanging punches until others stepped in.
Hernandez said the Mets need to quit babying Reyass and he's crying about it. :-D
reyes would have got his flaming ass beaten
Yeah, Hernandez would have worked him.
I was reading on the Phils MB that apparently Hernandez told him that he was just doing his job and Reyes should worry about doing his. The funny thing is he acts like a baby during a confrontation about him acting like a baby.
Hernandez would have smoked his little punk ass even at age 55 or whatever he is.
God, it's sooooo easy to hate the Mets, isn't it?
:-D
I'm guessing that Feva and Die-Hard are avoiding posting in this thread, because the Mets have been on a hot streak and it's some sort of misplaced attempt at not jinxing it.

I'm guessing that Feva and Die-Hard are avoiding posting in this thread, because the Mets have been on a hot streak and it's some sort of misplaced attempt at not jinxing it.
We're not the only ones who've avoided posting here lately. A lot less shtein talking since 7 1/2 became 1/2.

haha, wagner sucks
Even when the Mets weren't playing... he still found a way.
I usually try to stick to talking shtein when you turncoat multi-city fargfaces start posting pictures of Jose Reyes and saying how dreamy he is. So, basically I was waiting for some ammo.
Is there any chance that Wagner doesn't blow at least one key game down the stretch?

Wahhhhh I couldn't use Shea to throw a bullpen session! :'(
QuoteGlass Houses
glass.jpgEven though my colleague Anthony Rieber is handling the Mets this weekend in Cincy, I couldn't resist chiming in on Johan Santana's excuse for last night's pitiful outing. Santana made sure to mention how he was unable to have his regular bullpen session this week because Shea was shuttered in preparation for the two Billy Joel concerts.
He didn't actually say "Billy Joel concerts." Santana just referred to "stuff" going on at Shea. We'll just assume he meant the Piano Man. Weak.
************ UPDATE (4:22 P.M.) **************
Just spoke with Rieber, who was part of the interview session around Santana, and he says that the two-time Cy Young winner was not using Shea's unavailability as an excuse. When asked if the long All-Star layoff bothered him, Santana simply mentioned that he couldn't get into Shea for his regular bullpen session. But he didn't want to use that as an excuse.
OK, but if Santana, the team's $137.5-million ace, needed to throw a bullpen, someone should have made it happen somewhere. Just saying. And was it only a coincidence that Santana followed with one of the worst innings of his career?
******************************** (ANOTHER UPDATE, 5:31 p.m.)*****
Rieber here from Cincy. After I talked to Dave, I talked to Santana, who gave me a piece of information he didn't give reporters last night. He said he found out before the break that Shea was not going to be available because of the Joel concerts, so he moved his bullpen session up to Sunday -- four days before his start. He would have liked to have thrown another on Tuesday, but with Shea unavailable he decided not to look for an alternate site. That was his choice.
Now, was he using the lack of a bullpen session on Tuesday as an excuse? As Dave says above, i didn't think he was. Others who were there last night think he was. BUT, Santana is an excuse-maker, just as Tom Glavine is and Mike Mussina is. Last night I thought Santana did take as much of the blame as any other time I've heard him, and even today he told me, "It was just one of those games."
So I think it's OK to rip him for being an excuse-maker in general. And it's OK to question why, if throwing a bullpen on Tuesday was so important to his preparation, he didn't make other arrangements.

I'm just glad he's not pitching tonight. Could be on par with the game Favre played after his dad died (not as productive, but just as hyped).
The dorks at ESPN kept saying last night how much of a distraction it was for Pedro, yet every time they showed him on the bench he was yucking it up and clowning around with his teammates.
this is kind of disheartening...

Mets heading into new financial ballpark
NEW YORK - The new ballpark does not cast a shadow over Shea Stadium, not literally and especially not at night. But it looms there, crowding into the open spaces behind the left and centerfield fences, the brick and the classic arches signaling both the past and the future. You cannot help but fixate on it. Six-run ninth inning on Tuesday, you see it. Brett Myers scuffling early last night, you really see it.
Looms. It is exactly the right word, especially when you think of how the new Citi Field might be viewed from the visiting dugout along the third-base line. It is a great word, looms. It suggests significant size but it also hints at significant danger. There is almost always a portent of dread attached to it. The ice-cream man does not loom, not ever, not even when he is 6-8.
But Citi Field looms - for the Phillies, the rest of the National League East, and the rest of the National League. Because it is the ballpark that could make the Mets financially untouchable.
All of which adds importance to every pitch, every inning, every game between the Mets and the Phillies this season. There is no other way to look at it. There is no time to wait, no opportunity to nurture, not anymore. Now has never meant more for the Phillies, seeing as how the license for the Mets to print money has just about been issued.
So, when the Phillies shocked the Mets with their late Tuesday night comeback, it meant more than just a game. When Myers endured through five extremely difficult-to-watch innings, it at least gave the Phillies a chance on a night that, at the same time, raised the question of how long the team can wait if he cannot throw his fastball for strikes.
Because everything is magnified. Because the opportunity for the Phillies is here and now. It will only get harder next year and the year after and the year after that, when construction is complete and Shea is mercifully obliterated, rats and all.
"I hear the numbers and I can't believe them,'' Phils manager Charlie Manuel was saying, during a relaxed moment in the dugout before last night's 6-3 loss to the Mets, a game lost when reliever Ryan Madson gave up a three-run homer to Mets shortstop Jose Reyes in the sixth inning.
Manuel was looking out there at the new brick ballpark, talking about the price tag for construction - a reported $800 million (which is nothing close to the $1.3 billion being spent on the new Yankee Stadium, which is another obscenity entirely).
Citi Field likely will be beautiful, harkening back to Ebbets Field in Brooklyn (but with 54 luxury suites). The beauty will be a matter of opinion, though. That it will be a goldmine is an undisputed certainty. The people at Forbes who figure out these things estimate that the Mets franchise will be worth about $1 billion when they open the gates next season, second in baseball only to the Yankees (whose new franchise value will be an estimated $1.5 billion).
By comparison, the Phils are worth $481 million. As they say, do the math.
Which is what you see every time you look up here, that abominable financial potential. It creates all kinds of additional imperatives for the Phillies and for this season - it just does.
The counterargument is that money isn't everything in baseball, and it isn't as important as it might have been a decade ago. That is all true enough, and there are plenty of examples from which to try to prove the point, from the Diamondbacks, Indians and Rockies last year to the Rays this year.
But money still matters, and you are naïve if you don't think it does. As things stand today, the Mets spend more than $30 million more on players than the Phillies are spending. What if that difference gets to $50 million? What if it that difference gets even bigger?
Don't kid yourself - that is where this is headed, even when you factor in the Mets' big, new mortgage. And, well, put it this way: It still takes brains to win in baseball, but that kind of money will buy you out of a lot of stupidity.
Baseball teams' player spending closely tracks with their revenue and always has. The top three revenue teams today are the Yankees, Red Sox and Mets. The top four payroll teams are the Yankees, Tigers, Mets and Red Sox. Eight of the top 10 payroll teams are also in the top 10 in revenues. In the vast majority of cases, teams spend what they bring in.
The Phillies? They are at 13th in revenues, 13th in payroll - although, if you count the money they're still paying Jim Thome, they rank higher than that. They are not cheap. They do what everybody else in their sport does.
But, through no fault of their own, a financial deficit against the Mets is soon to become a chasm. That is the message with each pounding hammer outside the centerfield fence. To ignore it is to ignore the truth.
Now, baseball players are all about today. They don't think long term, even when the long term stares at them from right over the wall. Each pitch, then. Each inning, each game, each series, with Jamie Moyer trying to keep the Phillies in first place this afternoon against the Mets' Oliver Perez.
This game is important. This year is really important. *

Your guys were first as late as September last year. How'd that work out?
i think dropping "you guys" when talking about someone elses team might be worse than saying "we" for your own
Mets and their fans are basically all one big pile of shtein. No reason to separate one from the other.
... but we show up to the game on time.
Is that supposed to sting? Bruntlett had basically a career day yesterday. Rollins not being in the lineup was the least of the Phillies' problems.
you also have a complete fag for a shortstop. id rather have a full-of-himself irresponsible crybaby than that little homo who acts like he won the world series when he hit a 3 run homerun in the 6th inning of a game in july.
id rather have eric bruntlett than reyes....i physically couldnt root for a team with that POS on it
thats why they are so easy to hate. their trashy idiot fans embrace reyes' homosexuality and think its cool. of course that mentality could only fly in queens and with met fans, anywhere else and this guy would be despised.
The only thing gayer than Jose Reyes is the 'Jose Jose' soccer style chant. Which makes Mets fans gayer than gay.
You people make me laugh.
Y'all would rather have Brunlett than Reyes? That makes plenty of sense...no really it does. I'd rather have a .250 hitting career backup starting at one of the most important positions on the field instead of a proven leadoff hitter who may be the best base stealer in the game too.
In fact, Im going to get in touch with Omar and suggest he trade Reyes for Bruntlett straight up. We may need to throw Johan in too, but shtein, if thats what gotta be done....
farging idiots.

Sting? No, not really. Just to help me point out the hypocrisy of you guys berating Reyes for showing emotion on a tie-breaking 3-run HR in a game that gave his team a share of 1st in his division... on the shoulders of a collapse by his team the night before... yet you're the same ones who want to shrug off the fact that their "MVP" shortstop couldn't even go through the trouble to show up on time with 1st place on the line against a supposed hated division rival.
What am I tripping on though? When the Eagles play Dallas this year, it's OK for Westbrook not to show up... as long as Booker has a decent game.
you do know its possible that jose reyes could be the biggest pos in sports AND jimmy was a douchebag for being late...just becauee one is a met and ones a phillie doesnt mean that they both cant be wrong

If you get a chance, check the replay of the tying hit for the Astros against Wagner. Mark Loretta (incorrectly) held up, and ended up acting like a blocking fullback on the play for Hunter Pence.
Amazing play in that game!
Line drive to LF...
Loretta goes back to tag but Pence reads it as base hit from 2nd. Loretta stumbles getting started again t 3rd. Pence rounds 3rd really wide and almost passes Loretta. He curves back behind him and they slide in at almost the same time. Loretta dozes Castros and the ball drops, both guys touch the plate.
4-4 game.
Amazing!

QuoteOne day after Aaron Heilman served up a game-losing grand slam to the Astros in the eighth inning, All-Star-in-name-only Billy Wagner topped him in the ninth last night.

Heilman must be a Phillies fan or something. I can't believe he's still on their roster.

True... I didn't mean to call it a save.
21.
Is he still in the majors?
heilman is terrible and his 3 innings last night were a blessing in disguise. the phils won the game, not at his expense, and he just instilled more confidence in manuel that he can get guys out. which he cant. because he sucks.

Heilman actually pitched 3 scoreless last night? Good for him!
7 of the blown saves are by Wagner. The Mets have blown 10 ninth inning leads this season.
Best moment of the season last night.
Thought I had a heart attack.
Yeah I flipped it on to see Greggggggggg hit Delgado and then Beltran goes 1st pitch granny. They almost blew it though.
Like they blew that 3-0 lead today. Score early and then never score again (unless a miracle happens).

Shouldn't Mets fans wait until they're at least 8 games up until talking trash?

That's because people that root for teams in Philadelphia in some sports and rivals of teams in Philadelphia in others deserve it.
I think we've been through this before.
Hey, I'm glad to have you as an Eagles fan and can hardly question or even compare with your loyalty. That, however, only makes it more difficult to stomach the fact that you root for the Mets. If it makes you feel any better, I think even less of people that root for, say, the Phillies and skins or the Sixers and Giants.
Plus, your team choked away a 7-game lead last year. That's going to be awesome for a few years yet, sucker.

5-0 in the 1st inning already, going for the sweep
The wildcard suddenly doesn't look so distant
9-2 final
magic number = 21
Gotta be honest... the last thing I expected was to extend the division lead going into the Brewers series... and the Phils vs. the Nats.
6-2 on the Philly, Florida, Mil roadie... :yay
Fact that the pen choked both of the 2 away... :boo

At Billy Wags PC someone asked him a question about how his wife and son are taking it and he put his fingers on his eyes and broke down in tears. I laughed.
How are the alpacas taking it?
probably angrily in the ass, knowing Billy
delgado just hit an unreal bomb and probably wrapped up the mvp with it
poo holes says hi sweetie
if the mets win divison and it looks like they will no way delgado doesnt win it...his second half has been sick...leads majors in hr and rbi
but ken rosenthal said albert has it and he is soooooooo right all the time
i mean he has better numbers and if he won it wouldnt be robbery but hes gonna miss the playoffs and delgado is almost by himself going to have won the division for his team with a monster second half
and isnt that what the mvp should be all about
i agree
i thought it was stupid when choke when two years when the phils didnt make the playoffs
mvp should be:
thanks to _______ team ________
thanks to choke the phillies missed the playoffs
thanks to jimmy rollins the phillies won the nl east
Beltran puts the Mets back up 9-8 :-\
....then Delgado hits another HR
That douchebag Dukes crushed one earlier, turned to the Mets dugout and blew a kiss.
Next AB gets some chin music; Pelfrey warned.
Third AB Pelfrey hits him to load the bases. No ejection.
7-5 Mets after them leading 7-1.
wait so why does he get hit while that fag reyes doesnt even get his pwetty wittle finger nails scratched?
Heilman just blew the lead again
7-7 in the 6th :yay
oh easy, when will you ever learn...
yea, got the hopes up again for a second :-\

Mets, Castillo heading toward messy breakup?
BY DAVID LENNON | david.lennon@newsday.com
9:24 PM EDT, September 16, 2008
WASHINGTON - The Mets are likely to take a huge financial hit this winter if they are able to trade Luis Castillo and his $25-million contract. But it's becoming more apparent that these two sides are heading for a divorce when this season is over, and the latest example came Tuesday when manager Jerry Manuel opted to start rookie Argenis Reyes over the three-time All-Star.
Castillo was disappointed, to put it mildly.
Castillo had been a good soldier in accepting a platoon with veteran Damion Easley, who was hitting .290 against lefthanders. But getting benched in favor of Reyes seemed to sting a little bit more.
"There's nothing to say," Castillo said. "I'm here to help the team, but this is the first time in my life it's been like that."
That's understandable. It's not often that an 11-year veteran with Castillo's resume takes a backseat to a rookie who has played only 42 games. But with Easley still hurting, and Manuel feeling the pressure of the pennant race, the manager chose to go with his gut.
"We've had some success with in the lineup and he brings a feeling that I like for where we are now," Manuel said. "That's why he's playing. He brings a little energy, and when he played, we won. And we need to win. So I gotta see if that combination works. It's nothing against Luis. I need to find some things that are working for us right now."
Great signing, Omar!
Quote""This is what makes it fun...This is what you work hard for. This is what you prepare for...This is a bump in the road. It doesn't matter what Philadelphia does. It only matters what the guys in this clubhouse do and we plan on getting the job done. Like I said, we're gonna see what we're made of. This is a little bump in the road, and I'm excited moving forward because I think we've got a room full of guys who will not allow us to fail."
David Wright
QuoteFor the second time this season, Mike Pelfrey was on the losing end of a 1-0 game against the Nats.
Also, Tatis is out for the rest of the season.

Apparently ESPN just reported that the Mets are going to give Minaya a 4-year extension.

That's a farging disgrace. If you're facing a team with a playoff spot on the line you owe it to the integrity of the game to put your best lineup out there against them.
Funny thing about situations like this, though... they always seem to bite you in the ass later on.
2-0 Cubs. :-D :-D
2-1 now.
:poison
SNY is interviewing Lenny Dykstra at the Mets-Cubs game. Looks creepy... like child molestor creepy. Also basically incoherent. That could be the Spongebob blaring from the back room drowning him out, though. :boom
Cubs now up 3-1.
Tied 3-3.
Come on, Mets... do what comes natural and gas it away.
Pedro looking stronger as he goes deeper into the game. :-\
Or not. First two men on and Manuel pulls Pedro. . .
hahahahahahahaha
Holy farging shtein. Home run, Cubs. 6-3!
:-D
the funny part is it took all of one pitch by the bp before they imploded
Micca Hoffpauir hit the three run dinger.
And now there's a double - good God...
:-D
is this game official yet? it's starting to pour in NY.
Top of the 7th, so yeah. . .
it's official but not enough to end right now since the Cubs just took the lead in the top half
got it. they just explained it on SNY. Mets will have to finish the seventh.
SNY just said that if it was stopped now it would be a suspended game. If they finish the inning, it would be a complete game.

6-4 at the end of the 7th. Excellent.
Cubs have had two men on in each of the last two innings and haven't gotten them in against a horrendous Mets bullpen. And that's not counting the three run dinger either.
Need some insurance, Cubs. Let's get it done.
Wright singles to lead off the first, Delgado hits into a double play.
They're running out of outs.
Don't speak too soon.

ok phils now just go sweep the Nats and all is forgiven.
absolute disgrace. farging chicago.
The weird thing is the Mets were acting all indifferent about tying the game. That wasn't my imagination, was it?
could darryl ward run any slower?
The Cubs are evidently playing the role of the "can't get anyone in with two men on and less than two outs" that the Phillies usually play.
Ridiculous.

Season's over, Feva. Time to move on.
I was talking about the Mets...
They could still pull it off. No, really.
Mets shake up the lineup today, putting Beltran 2nd, Delgado 3rd and Wright 4th. So far it's working. 1-0
Fish had the bases loaded on Santana in the 5th and got nothing.
2-0 Mets
Santana has a 2-hit shutout through 7....still 2-0
Santana gets a CGSHO....2-0 final
Brewers down 2-0 early
This pretty much means that Sabathia will pitch tomorrow....

QuoteMinutes after making his comments -- in response to a question regarding his thoughts on Santana -- he acknowledged that he's now bound to become a popular enemy in Philadelphia.
"I don't care," Beltran said. "They boo me in Houston. One more city won't make a difference."
Way to back that up, Carlos.
They certainly were the team to beat both of the last two years, so the Phils went ahead and took care of that.
Just checking in on this thread to help me feel good after the Eagles loss.

The Mets remind me of this.
Holy shtein. This is farging brutal:
QuotePosted: 2:17 am
September 29, 2008
THEY are losers. That is how the Mets walk out of one stadium and into another. The Shames of Shea will march into the new Citi Field with the old stigmas: They cannot finish. It is like the spirit of Armando Benitez inhabited the uniforms down the stretch for a second straight year.
The final game ever at Shea, a 4-2 elimination loss yesterday to the Marlins, betrayed their identity again: They could not get a big hit and they could not register enough meaningful outs from the bullpen. It was a losing combination for losers.
So this group forever will be remembered for collapse. For not closing out Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS at home. For not holding on to a seven-game lead with 17 to play last season. For not holding on to a 31/2-game lead with 17 to play this season. On consecutive years they received one of the great pitching performances of their history on the final Saturday of the season - John Maine last season and Johan Santana brilliantly on three days' rest this weekend. Then they were so inspired both times that they lost on Sunday when victory would have forced a one-game playoff.
That galvanized this era's Mets' identity forever: The losers who could not win a series against the Marlins in the end in consecutive years. Owner Jeff Wilpon tried to soften this disappointment by saying, "I feel totally different this year than last year. Last year I felt we underachieved. This year I felt we overachieved."
He felt that way, he said, because of how close the team came to the playoffs despite losing Maine and Billy Wagner late to injuries, and being forced to play backups to backups to backups at second and in left. It is a loser's lament. This was the Mets' own fault.
They invested $26 million in Luis Castillo, who was healthy yesterday, but was so putrid that Ramon Martinez was playing second. They could have traded Bobby Parnell for Xavier Nady at the July 31 deadline to play left and didn't. They made an ill-advised trade of Matt Lindstrom for non-prospects Jason Vargas and Adam Bostick, and it was Lindstrom who closed out the Met season in the ninth. He would have looked terrific as Wagner's 97-mph-throwing heir apparent.
Yet all of that is loser talk by losers. Every team suffers dents and worse over six months. The Brewers, for example, essentially lived without No. 2 starter Ben Sheets for the last month, without No. 3 starter Yovani Gallardo for most of the season and with a bullpen just as untrustworthy as the Mets'. Yet Milwaukee figured out how to play one game better than the Mets. Which made them wild cards and the Mets losers. Again.
"I think we overcame a lot to get to this point to be in this position today," Wilpon said. "But in the end, you have to say we weren't good enough."
They weren't. So again they must examine why. Obviously, the bullpen must be reconfigured. Scott Schoeneweis and Luis Ayala surrendered homers to consecutive batters in the eighth that produced the final score, and that pair plus Aaron Heilman can't be brought back and feed the negative aura from the instant Citi Field opens.
But do the Mets stop there? By spinning a positive in general, Wilpon was signaling interim manager Jerry Manuel will be back. And Omar Minaya indicated he wants to keep the core intact, as well, which means retaining Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado and David Wright. Yet an offense that had four stars at that level managed just five runs all weekend against Florida, going a combined 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
Two straight seasons of this kind of regular-season collapse signals there is something wrong in the Met culture. Minaya - about to receive a four-year extension - must diagnose what that is.
In the aftermath of elimination, Wilpon and Minaya tried to project a positive vision, probably because their behind-the-scenes media guru told them it was the right attitude to protect business moving into that new stadium. But there was no camouflaging the stench yesterday with upbeat words. The curtain closed at Shea on a group of losers.
Whew. Don't sugarcoat it, dude.
I hate the farging Mets.
QuoteIn the clubhouse, players who endured a miserable fall and a dreary winter could not believe they were in for more of the same. José Reyes sat sobbing in front of his locker, his head in his hands, cursing himself. Wright, who admitted feeling pressure to carry the team, staggered around like a zombie, his eye black smudged. Jeff Wilpon, the chief operating officer, walked around consoling players, shaking Schoeneweis's hand and sitting beside John Maine and Mike Pelfrey to offer encouragement. As he left, Carlos Beltrán fell onto Martínez's shoulder, crying.
:'( :'(

This sucks. It is the worst thing that's ever happened. I came home back to the dorm tonight, went to my boy Kennan's room, and the first thing I saw was Phillies players celebrating - that could only mean one thing. Like a husband who comes home to catch an unfaithful wife in the act, I walked in at the wrong time. Then FOX continued on with its customary blanket coverage of the winning team, and like passing a car wreck I couldn't watch, but I found it impossible to look away.
The pride of the Mets fan has been completely demolished, in tandem with the destruction of the stadium we used to call home. Two consecutive collapses, and when we did get our chance with the playoffs to ourselves in '06, we couldn't even beat an 83-win team after our reserve left fielder made one of the greatest catches in postseason history.
And now the Phillies win the World Series. When we do break through, what will it even mean? Not a whole lot, in terms of bragging rights. In this nascent and budding rivalry we've got going on with the Phightins, we've been talking smack back and forth for two years. As if it wasn't enough that they've been the division winners while we've choked two seasons in a row, now they've got the 2008 World Series championship under their belts as well. It'll be hard for any Met fan to ever say anything negative about the Phillies again now that their fans have an automatic shut down for any point we could possibly make. The next time we win the Series, our celebrations will have nothing against "we got there first."
What we've seen the last two years is a total role reversal. It used to be that the Mets and Phillies both sucked most of the time, but the Mets would find a way to win something every once in a while, while the Phillies always managed to screw it up in the end even if they got close. The Mets made the playoffs in 1999, 2000, and came close in '01 - during this time they at least made it to one World Series and racked up countless memorable moments. During our '02-'04 down period, the Phillies began to rise, but even when it looked like they might take out the Braves they would not only blow the division, but any shot they might have had at the wild card, too. This happened again in 2005.
Then 2006 came along and it was the Mets who ended the Braves stretch of 14 consecutive NL East titles. The Phillies finished in second, by almost 15 games. In a new era, the Mets were poised to be the new power center in the East and the National League in general. After the NLCS in '06, we were going to come back strong and make it all up a year later.
We blew it. We totally blew it. Two years in a row, and the Phillies filled the power vacuum. A team on a mission, they were the ones who came back after a disappointing postseason and won it all. In the battle of teams from the northeast with a history of mediocrity, the Phillies are now World Series champions, and the Mets are the chokers, the laughingstock, baseball's punchline.
My other favorite sports team did win the Super Bowl last season, at the climax of one of the greatest runs in modern team sports history. Maybe this is a sacrifice to the sports Gods that some other Mets and Giants fan made last January while we were on our incredible path. And it would have been greedy for me to expect too much - that in one year, the Mets might also win it all. But I am, first and foremost, a Mets fan. Whatever the Mets do tops anything that any other team in any other sport can accomplish. As much as I love the Giants, the Mets mean more than anything. And our new biggest rival just won the World Series.
I wonder if my "PHILLY SUCKS" counter on my blog will reset itself. Regardless, I plan to take it down because now it's just embarrassing. Go to your rooms, fellow Mets fans. We have nothing to laugh about, nothing to brag about, nothing to shout about. Phillies fans are going to come into our new ballpark next year, still wearing their stupid Chase Utley jerseys, only now they'll be incessantly and obnoxiously reminding us about their team's new hardware. And what will have to say in response? That's right, nothing, because our team sucks right now.
We've got a long way to go, Mets fans, and it would probably be wise for us to just shut up for the moment, or at least refrain from saying anything negative. Wear your Mets gear, support our team, but no amount of trash talk can change one sad but true reality:
The Phillies just won the World Series.
Mets/Eagles fans are the new lovable loser combo. Give me a hug, Feva!

Orioles Acquire Jose Reyes
By Roch Kubatko on November 18, 2008 2:09 PM | Permalink | Comments (5)
The Orioles cleared room on their 40-man roster before next month's Rule 5 draft so they could add players they needed to protect.
Today, they added pitchers Brad Bergesen, David Hernandez, Chorye Spoone and Wilfrido Perez, and outfielder Nolan Reimold.
They also signed catcher Jose Reyes to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training, which has nothing to do with the 40-man roster.
Reyes, 24, appeared in four games with the Cubs in 2006, going 1-for-5 with two RBIs and wishing that people would mistake him for the Mets shortstop. He missed all of 2008 after having bone chips removed from his elbow.
Sounds like the new Omir Santos. Or is it Chris Heintz?
slight chuckle
Heilman wants to be a starter or else be traded (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3714657)
He is a really crappy pitcher.
TRADE HIS SORRY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!
SI.com says the Mets are interested in both Kevin Millwood and Vicente Padilla....ha
(so are the Braves and Dodgers)
Looks like K-Rod to the Mets for 3/$37M
But what about Billy?
I hope Tommy John pays him a visit soon.
hes a broken man already
the Mets added an option for $14M, making it 4/$51M total. Great move for the 9th inning but they still have to get the ball to him first...
he blew a bunch of saves last year
numbers inflated because he had so many chances
their set up guys still suck
krods arm is about to fall off
its the mets
?

Youre an idiot. If his save numbers are inflated because of the amount of opps he had, then naturally his blown saves would go up a bit too, wouldnt they?
Forget the number of saves he had - the guy had a 2.24 ERA and struck out over a batter an inning.
The Mets will have either Hoffman, Wood, Street or Fuentes as the setup guy to get to Frankie.
Comment however you would all like, but the Mets got exponentially better today.

They didn't get any better this time than they got when they signed Santana last year.
it doesnt matter what the mets do
their fans are not even worthy of life. they are the trashiest, most low-class, vile, venomous disgraces in the history of civilization.
combine those wastes of oxygen with the ny media going apeshtein over the mets losing a game in september, and you have a 3rd straight choke job.
i dont even see how the puerto rican mets can be considered anything when jose reyes and carlos beltran lead the way. for real. i would rather root for hitler than reyes.

I thought it was a bit ironic the Angels didn't want him back.
Your definition of "ironic" is a little off, but I still see your point.

rumors floating that the Mets are trying to get Seattle's closer J.J. Putz as their setup guy..........3-way trade with Cleveland where they'd give up Heilman, Joe Smith and another player

I hate losing Chavez, but just the fact that Heilman's sorry ass is gone already makes the pen worlds better.
Mets gave up some young talent to get that deal done, I've seen reports where Putz wants to be a closer not a set up guy so we'll see how that all works out.
"It's a new challenge and I'm excited about it... I'm going to a new team that's going to be very competitive. Francisco Rodriguez is a great closer and with Sean Green going as well, we should have a great bullpen."
PEACE OUT HEILMAN
I, for one, will miss Heilman.
Kudos to Minaya for getting some value for his sorry ass.
David Wright wears guyliner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6X6_E--U5g)
Schoeneweis traded to Arizona for minor leaguer Connor Robertson. So Feliciano is the Mets' only lefty in the bullpen. I guess they'll just sign Fuentes for that.

Aaron Heilman - 1

the mets are such a joke...and so weak...when jimmy did it it was original and fresh and he was a farging man about it...then went out and won the mvp and the division...these pathetic weak sauced attempts by first beltran and now this idiot k rod whos been in the rivalry for all of five minutes scream of insecurity and are just plain pathetic...memo to the mets youre trying way to hard and its plain for everyone to see
not to mention the mets talk shtein after they went out and aquired players that in reality should win them the division...jimmy said it when the phils werent the favorites and had really added nothing of significance from the previous years team
christ the mets are a bunch of farging front running no heart gutless pices of shtein
makes sense that the trashiest fan base in america would root for them
Its going to be even better when the Putz/Rodriguez duo doesn't help them. When that fairy Jose Reyes and Mr. Sniffles David Wright are your core players, you come up soft.
K-Rod talking shtein is hilarious. The Angels were far and away the best team in baseball during the regular season yet when the playoffs came they choked like flags. And he was abysmal himself in the playoffs last year to boot.
He'll fit in just perfect with the Mets in that regard.
I love you guys.

i dont get it
QuoteBY SCOTT LAUBER
It wasn't as catchy as "team to beat" or "choke artists," but pitcher John Maine jumped into the Phillies-Mets war of words yesterday when, in essence, he told Jimmy Rollins, Cole Hamels and the rest of the champs to put a sock in it.
"I don't really care, but I just don't get it," Maine told New York reporters, referring to Hamels' "choke artists" comment about the Mets on WFAN last week. "At the end of the year, they won the World Series. Congratulations. Let's focus on the things they accomplished. Don't worry about what's going on up in New York. I mean, I don't get it."
I guess he missed the part of the interview where Hamels was asked if he thought the Mets were choke artists.

Whatever. Better him than re-signing Perez. Lefties will kill the Phils all year.

Oh my God, no.
didn't he sign a 2 year deal, making this his contract year? he actually could have a good year.
The apparant play is trade Jones for Castillo and a few minor leaguers, then sign Orlando Hudson to play second. Thats what Ive been reading. Also, "baseball insiders" say Jones wasnt comfortable in LA, and would revert back to similar form if he was traded. Who knows how true that is...
Either way, I'd like to get it done. Just for the potential alone...
Check that...
Marty Noble at MLB.com reports that, while the Mets once had talked with the Dodgers about trading Andruw Jones for Luis Castillo, 'nothing is ongoing, and nothing is going to happen,' according to a person familiar with discussions.
andruw jones is 32 obese and rich.....stick a fork in him
Ned Colletti would be drawn and quartered if he made that deal. Jones has one year left on his deal while Castillo is fresh off a 4yr extension given to him by that dumbshtein Minaya.I hope they keep Castillo.
Dumbest thing they did (and I said this last year too) was sign Castillo for 4 years. They were in talks w/ KC earlier this year to trade him straight up for Jose Guillen but Dan Glass decided against it...kinda shows Castillos value throughout baseball if you can't get a schmuck like Guillen back for him. If they keep him, which it looks like theyre gonna have to, he's gonna ride the bench - Dan Murphy is supposed to get a look at 2B in the spring..
Yep, it was obvious to anyone with an eye or two that Castillo is cooked. Well, except for Minaya. He should have known to avoid him, but he signed him. That made me happy. Hell, they could have let Easley have the job for a fraction of the cost until Murphy was ready.
So, are the Mets the favorites again yet?

contract length and dollar amounts mean nothing to the mets...they will crash and burn with as many bad contracts as it takes...at this point all you can hope for is that their decision making scouting and player development sucks....because budget is not going to ever be a deciding factor in what palyers they acquire or what players they start
it matters a little bit when their owner has to use food stamps because of dumping cash into that ponzi scheme
If money didn't matter, they would have signed CC. Obviously, they need another starter, so why wouldnt they have signed the best on the market - who also happens to be one of the best in baseball?
Unless they really think Lowe > CC. Hah.
what's going on with Perez? I'm still hoping he lands in the AL.
Mets made a 3 year, $36 million offer to Lowe. Don't know if Boras is gonna go for that, but maybe that's a starting point.

he signed with the yankees who might be the only team in the majors who money means less to
The Yankees signed him without the Mets even sniffing his ass. Like I said, if money meant nothing to them, they would have at least put an offer out on him.
Out of Perez, Wolf & Lowe, the Mets are rumored to only sign one.
My guess - Santana, Lowe, Pelfrey, Maine, Neise
It seems odd that they wouldn't re-sign the Phillie killer. But I'm obviously OK with it.
Im ok with it too - because Lowe is better than Perez.
He is not better against the Phillies.
I'd rather the Phils picked up Lowe and let Dobbs and Stairs patrol LF next year. Lowe will make the Mets that much more dangerous.
Isn't Lowe a groundball pitcher? Wouldn't that be perfect for the Bank? Are the Phillies even looking at him? Am I missing something?

QuoteIn battle of wits with Phillies, Mets unarmed
By John Gonzalez
Inquirer Columnist
The beauty in sports is rooted in balance. Not everyone can be on top. Not everyone can be talented. For every yin, there's a yang. For every team that plays well under pressure, there's another that crumbles beneath the heavy weight of expectations.
Put another way: For every champion, there's a chump.
Which brings us to the Phillies and their negative image, the New York Mets. One team consistently overachieves, the other doesn't. One team enjoys a good challenge, the other enjoys early vacations. And one team just won a title, while the other . . . well, no need to rub it in.
By now, you'd think the Mets would accept their role as the Phillies' footstool. But bless their deluded little hearts, they keep trying to convince themselves that they can keep up with the Fightin's on all fronts.
Remember when, back in December, Cole Hamels went on WFAN in New York and brashly called the Mets choke artists? Turns out the Amazin's didn't take kindly to the remarks. And they finally got around to crafting a super clever comeback.
"They say talk your talk and walk your walk," Mets outfielder Ryan Church told Newsday recently. "Well, hey, they won the World Series. More power to them. It's only a big bull's-eye on their back. We're coming."
I love that it took the Mets approximately two months to come up with something and fire back at Hamels. Then, when they did, they dispatched Church, of all people, and armed him with the incredibly lame "I'm rubber, you're glue" equivalent of trash-talking rejoinders. If the back-and-forth had been a prize fight, the ring doctor would have called Church out on his feet. If it had been a national spelling bee, Church would be the kid who stepped up to the microphone - only to pass out and go face down on the stage.
In a way, I almost feel for the Mets. Not only have the Phils beaten them in the standings over the last two years, but they've also won the word battle. After Jimmy Rollins used the Mets as a punch line during the Phils' championship parade, the Amazin's really should have stopped trying to match wits with their rivals.
But I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. Abject failure is in the Mets' DNA. The only thing they do better than folding in September is opening their mouths and inserting their cleats in February.
Last year around this time, it was Carlos Beltran who stepped in it when he foolishly decided to puff out his chest and stand up to the Phils: "Without [Johan] Santana, we felt that we had a chance to win our division. With him, now I have no doubt that we're going to win our division. I have no doubt. We've got what it takes. To Jimmy Rollins: We are the team to beat."
That silly bit of bravado worked so well that Church and the Mets figured they'd try it once more. Some people never learn.
What's the old saying again? Those who ignore history are doomed to go golfing in October?

Beltran on Hamels:
Quote"Well, you know, he made a comment. The only thing that I know is that he will be watched every time he faces us, and hopefully we kill him....and then he'll have to deal with the situation."
David Murphy on Philly.com:
QuoteI'm sure by now you've read Jose Reyes' comments to New York reporters at Mets camp in Port St. Lucie. Specifically, he took umbrage with the Phillies' suggestion that Reyes "pimps" his home runs too much. Last year, some merry Phillie pranksters jokingly put Reyes' name above Victorino's locker after he hit a home run and pumped his fist.
"I heard that," Reyes said, as reported by the New York Post. "I don't know why they said that because I'm not the only when I hit a home run that I 'pimp' it. A lot of people do that. A lot of people from Philadelphia too. They stand there for a couple seconds and nobody say nothing. I don't know why the Phillies focus so much on the New York Mets. We just worry about us.
"I don't know why they always focus on us. They are the ones to win the World Series. We don't say nothing about them. We just say congratulations to the Phillies. They always say something about us and we don't even focus on them. We focus on them when we play against them.
"We don't worry about the Phillies – we focus about the New York Mets," Reyes said. "They have to be happy because they win the World Series. Why do they focus on us? What did we do to them? If they don't like us, that's OK."

Um, no. You do realize that the excitement you had over Santana's potential injury would be like me jerking off in front of my conputer screen after news of Romo or Manning stubbing his toe in the middle of August, right?

Mets' $600 Million Citi Field Lowers Beer Prices, Sells Lobster
Share | Email | Print | A A A
By Ryan Sutton
March 31 (Bloomberg) -- If When the New York Mets stage another late-season collapse, fans won't have to spend as much to drink away their sorrows at the new baseball stadium.
The $600 million Citi Field in Flushing Meadows, Queens, where the Mets will play their first regular-season home game on April 13, will serve a 12-ounce can of Budweiser for $6. That's a 20 percent drop from the $7.50 charged at Shea Stadium, the old ballpark, according to a team handout.
The New York Yankees, who are moving into a new park this month, will also serve a $6 beer, and keep "traditional stadium fare" at 2008 levels.
The price cuts come as part of a larger effort to increase concession sales while U.S. consumers pare their spending amid the recession. The Mets seek to lure hungry spenders by cutting not just prices, but wait times as well, and offering high-end food at reasonable markups.
"We're mindful of where we are in terms of the economic situation and we've tried to be judicious in setting our concession prices," said David Howard, the Mets executive vice president of business operations.
Lobster rolls will cost $17 -- less than the $20 to $30 that city restaurants regularly demand for the New England specialty. The dish will be sold at "Catch of the Day," a fish shack overseen by David Pasternack, the seafood chef who owns Esca in Manhattan's theater district with Mario Batali.
No Lines
Drew Nieporent, an owner of Nobu and president of the Myriad Restaurant Group, will consult on the Acela Club restaurant in left field. He said he'll charge $48 for a prix- fixe meal, which is less than a typical diner will spend at his Tribeca Grill, the American restaurant after which Acela is modeled.
Nieporent, who called himself an avid Mets fan at a Citi Field press conference today, said his mission is that there be "no lines" at the Acela Club, which will have 350 seats.
Hamburgers at the Citi Field branch of Danny Meyer's Shake Shack, located in the outfield of the stadium, will cost $5.75. That's just a dollar more than at the Manhattan locations of Shake Shack, and 21 percent less than the 2008 Shea Stadium price of $7.25 for a burger.
If lower prices mean more customers, the stadium's Shake Shack will also have to combat long lines. Its Manhattan locations in Madison Square Park and on the Upper West Side regularly draw 60-minute queues.
Cheaper Popcorn
"We shouldn't have to challenge people to spend their money," said Howard, who said extended waits were an impediment to increasing sales at Shea Stadium.
He said wait times will be reduced by modern kitchen infrastructure and a high point-of-sale ratio -- an industry term for the number of places customers can order food. That number is 1 per 150 guests -- a 41 percent increase over Shea Stadium, according to the Mets' Web Site.
"We're very confident that the service will be prompt and people will not stand on line very long," Howard said. "Waiting in line for an inning or so for food is just not acceptable."
Other price drops at Citi Field include popcorn, which was lowered 15 percent from its 2008 price to $4.25; knishes, down 29 percent to $3.75. A bottle of Aquafina water is down 50 cents to $3.75; Pepsi is down 25 cents to $4.75.

"It's not easy, I'm not saying that," Wagner said, "but when you get that kind of pitching before the closer comes in, his job is different. It's only one run, but they've got no momentum. They've already been deterred."
The Mets didn't have much of a deterrent in the seventh and eighth innings last season.
"I'd face a team that just scored two or three the previous inning," Wagner said. "They were hot. That's why when Aaron [Heilman] and Duaner [Sanchez] were so good in 2006, my job was so much easier. [The opposing hitters] would come up in the ninth all aggressive, trying to make something happen. That's an advantage for the pitcher.
"The guys in the seventh and eighth can dictate where the game is going. And if that's what they've got with those three, they oughta be in good shape."
I would love to see Wagner pitching some meaningful innings for the Mets this season.
What is the timeline for Wagner's recovery? Is he possibly going to pitch this year, or is he done until next season?
Hopefully, he comes back to farg the clubhouse up in September.

The Mets are in September form today.

Fish jumped on Johan for 2 early.
Reyes got gunned down by Paulino, who then had a two out hit off Santanny.
Living outta the Mets market for the first time, I have to watch them on Extra Innings, which seems to use the broadcasting team of the home squad. The Marlins crew kept calling Jason Johnson "JJ". Their lead guy should have been pummeled. Hate the Mets all you'd like, but with the exception of Keith Hernandez the Mets SNY crew is one of the best out there. It might be time to get a slingbox.
Mets crew the best out there?
You crazy?
The Fish guys are bad...they have stupid nicknames for all of them. They called Willingham "The Hammer" all last year.
Gary Cohen is one of the best, and Darling is getting there too. Not saying theyre not homers by any means though.
Gary Darling isn't a homer?
Bwahahahaha.
Thats what I said dummy.
have to agree with die hard...the mets announcers are awesome...including hernandez...
and i dont think they are homers at all..very fair
I like Darling....he's good.
Cohen whines, IMO. Hernandez is a classic home team homer. We have Wheels, they have Hernandez, Nats have Ray Knight and now Rob Dibble. And what's up with Dibble droppin' the "we and us" when he has no connection to them ever?
mets crew is terrific

QuoteNEW YORK — Was it only 14 days ago that fans at Citi Field were on their feet cheering David Wright as he became the first player to hit a home run in the new park?
Wright is the most popular player on the team, but you wouldn't know it if you had dropped in from Mars to attend your first Mets game Sunday. Fans booed the usually beloved Wright in the sixth inning after he struck out for the third straight time in the Mets' 8-1 loss to the Washington Nationals. He was then booed again, with a sprinkling of mock cheers, after he made it 0-for-4 with a groundout to open the ninth inning.
"David is a fighter. It's a struggle for him right now," Mets coach Jerry Manuel said.
After hitting .342 in his first 10 games, Wright is hitting .188 (6-for-32) in his last eight. After he went hitless Sunday, his average dipped to .271.
"I'm not seeing it all that well right now," Wright said. "I'm fouling off pitches I should be putting in play. It's forcing me ito get into situations I don't want to get into, seeing pitches I don't want to see. I need to do a better job of recognizing pitches early in the count and putting them into play."
Wright was far from the only Met who struggled against Jordan Zimmermann, who allowed six hits and one earned run Sunday. Still, Wright, who was recently moved from the No. 3 spot to the No. 5 spot in the lineup, can be a streaky hitter with pronounced slumps. It's no wonder fans start to get nervous when he starts to struggle.
Manuel, however, is not all that worried.
"He's trying to fight his way out of this thing," Manuel said. "He is really battling and trying to find an edge. He's a lifetime .300 hitter. So he'll figure it out."
"We are going to try to make some contact for one and then go from there," Wright said. "It's tough to hit to begin with. When you're not clicking mechanically, it makes it that much harder. We'll get back tomorrow and take some extra swings. Try to see how I feel and make some adjustments."
Wright said that overall, he feels good about his swing.
Said Wright: "I feel like my swing isn't bad, but I'm not hitting hard pitches I should be hitting hard. You have to stay confident. Through the course of a season, you're going to go though some ups and down. Obviously, I'm not producing right now at the plate. But I'm going to keep working until I do."

I hope someone filled the bottle with swine flu before hitting him.

It's always amazing to me whenever a grown ass man can look so terrible throwing a baseball. I know not everybody's the most athletic cat in the world but come on! It's not like you just showed up at the park, they put a ball in your hand and put you out there. You know ahead of time. At least get in a couple practice throws beforehand so you don't look like a Hoyda in front of 40,000 people.
Whats worse is he was practicing for weeks prior and hired a coach to help him.

Nah... not only is this basically his worst nightmare, but he's got preteen boys and would never want to put his kids in the position of having to answer for their dad's public display of sissiness (which is all over the NY news).
I think he got nervous and got caught halfway between a basic lob and doing a full wind-up and pitch. Whatever it was, it was an abortion.

he def did it to bring attention to the howard stern show and himself and have stupid laughs about it for the rest of time

A hapless Mets fan tried to make a diving catch when her gold tooth fell into a Citi Field toilet -- and got her arm stuck in the commode.
The unidentified woman's bizarre Flushing adventure happened during last Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves, sources said yesterday.
It's unclear how long she was trapped screaming in the john, but stadium security guards and emergency medical personnel eventually showed up.
But they could not pry her loose on their own.
They called for back-up -- dialing up a worker from Cardoza Plumbing, the company that installed all 646 ultra-low-flow toilets at Citi Field.
He rushed to the scene from his company's Jamaica headquarters 7.2 miles away, the sources said.
The anxious victim, meanwhile, could only wait as the toilet continued to flush over her arm.
At one point, she became more entertaining than the game -- which the Mets lost 8-7 -- as fans gathered outside the bathroom near Section 338 to see the off-field action.
It's unclear if the toilet had to be destroyed to free her.

Mets recent call-up Fernando Martinez is off and not running at Citi Field
BY Michael Obernauer
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER
Thursday, May 28th 2009, 4:00 AM
One day you're the King of Queens, the next day you're hearing Bronx cheers.
Welcome to New York, Fernando Martinez.
The 20-year-old prodigy the Mets called up on Tuesday should by all indications enjoy a long and successful career in the major leagues, but if last night's game at Citi Field taught Martinez anything, it's that if he wants to get there, he'd better hustle. In his second big-league game, Martinez experienced the first bonehead moment of his young career when an inexcusable lack of hustle cost the Mets an out and curtailed their chances at putting together a big rally in the sixth inning.
And what a wild sixth inning it was. Two batters after umpires awarded Daniel Murphy what appeared to many to be a phantom home run, Martinez stepped to the plate with Ramon Castro on second and the Mets looking to build on their two-run lead. On the 3-1 pitch, Martinez got under a fastball and popped it almost straight up into the air, just a few feet in front of home plate.
However, rather than running to first base, Martinez committed the cardinal sin of standing near the batter's box and watching his pop-up. So when Washington catcher Wil Nieves made a complete mess of it - the ball eluded his glove, banged off his chest protector and plopped to the ground - pitcher Ron Villone had more than enough time to scramble to it, pick it up and throw out Martinez at first.
It was a terrible impression for a rookie to make, which the fans made clear by booing Martinez as he trudged to the dugout, and which both Martinez and Jerry Manuel acknowledged afterward.
"I don't know what happened but I just feel bad," Martinez said after the Mets' 7-4 win. "I promise that's not gonna happen again. I'm sorry (to) my fans; they booed me today, but I promise that's not gonna happen again to me."
"Martinez made a huge mistake," said Manuel. "A huge mistake."
Whereas Gil Hodges would have personally seen to it that Martinez got an early shower, Manuel decided to leave his rookie in the game. That only subjected him to further booing when he came to bat in the seventh from those Flushing fans who had given him a rousing ovation even before his first big-league at-bat on Tuesday.
All of this overshadowed Martinez's best play of the game, when he went back against the quirky fence in right field to catch Adam Dunn's second long drive of the night. Martinez, who went 0-for-4, is still searching for his first major league hit. And yet he already has something to live down.
"From what I know of him, that's not part of his behavior," Manuel said.
You're in trouble if you need Sheffield to be a leader (http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-spwally2912816521may28,0,71363.column)
QuoteWhich leaves only one man for the job.
Gary Sheffield, take a bow.
In a room without leadership, Sheff possesses every quality necessary to get the attention of kids such as Martinez and Daniel Murphy and the respect of veterans such as Reyes and Wright.
He's got the numbers (504 homers), the World Series ring, the self-confidence to say what's on his mind and the presence to ensure that others will listen to him. If every career in that room ended today, he's the only one headed to Cooperstown.
And right now, even though his presence on the team was an afterthought, occasioned by his bargain-basement price tag, he is the closest thing to a leader these Mets can scrape up.
I owe Sheffield an apology and, I suspect, so do many of you, for thoughts entertained and (in my case, anyway) words written after the announcement in April that he soon would become a Met.
At the time, considering his clubhouse history and recent production, I was wondering what in the world the Mets hoped to do with a guy like him on the team.
Now I can't imagine what they would have done without him.
In his two months as a Met, Sheff has been a model citizen and a marvelous player. Since May 9, when he began to play regularly, he has hit .400 (20-for-50) with four home runs and 15 RBIs, including a smoking two-run double in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.
There's no denying that in the past, Sheff has had his character issues, too, but as a Met, he seems to have achieved a newfound maturity as both a player and a person. (I'm going to take him at his word that he thought Murphy's shot was a home run - which it eventually was - to explain why he temporarily got thrown out at the plate Wednesday night.)
When he came here, it was as a backup to Murphy, a converted infielder, and Church, who is getting into nobody's Hall of Fame. The Mets promised him nothing but some spot starts and pinch hitting.
so with the phils west im watching a whole mets game tonight for the first time this year...i guess it doesnt shine thru as much when they are playing the phils because im concentrating on their opponent but jesus christ is this team beyond hatable...really hard to sit thru
haha, Mets blow 5-0 lead to the PIRATES and lose 8-5.
Better than the Phils.
mets will be tied or ahead of the phils at 11:59pm on june 11
lock and load
if you disagree wager it up...phils have a 1.5 game lead and are the better team its a no lose bet for you....right?
lets rock n roll
Pitt/Washington is a little different than SD/LAD. I'd give that bet about even $.
you play who is on your schedule
or are you saying the phillies are only better than the mets cause they have played wash 12 times?
Quote from: ice grillin you on May 28, 2009, 06:23:48 AM

I never said the Phillies are better or worse than the Mets. I think it's too early to tell but I'd give the edge to the Phillies after the last two years.
One of the main reasons the Phillies have a better record than NY is because of their ability to beat up on Washington, yes.
i just wanna bet....in?
I'm indifferent IGY, as I said in the beginning. I think it's an even bet one way or the other. I'll bet you if you're just looking for action, but it's a coin-flip in my mind.

QuotePIRATES OUTFIELDER NYJER MORGAN WAS EJECTED BY FIRST BASE UMPIRE TIM MCCLELLAND IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FIFTH INNING FOR ARGUING A CLOSE PLAY.
Game Information
Stadium: PNC Park, Pittsburgh, PA
Attendance: 10,459 (27.3% full) - % is based on regular season capacity
The first part of that is hilarious. Dude went farging nutso.
The attendance part is really shameful. 10,500 at that beautiful park? Criminal.
Actually, I just remembered the Penguins are playing tonight, so 10,500 isn't all that awful.
igs doesn't like that term "Nyjer"
and it gets better for the Mets: someone on the SNY crew might have symptoms of swine flu (http://www.nypost.com/seven/06022009/sports/mets/mets_deal_with_swine_flu_scare_172259.htm)

Well looking at all the empty seats at the mellon, Pitt fans are smarter then we think. They at least showed up at the baseball field with a hope of winning.
I was trapped in the Penguin game traffic for two hours today. I'm not sure how anyone actually made it to either fargin game.

when eight thousand of them are met fans it is
Ibanez + Howard = 34 HRs
entire Mets team = 33 HRs
braves got two hr's from their outfielders in may
The Braves outfield is one of the worst assembled in the last 20 years of baseball, and that is not an exaggeration.

Again... one is a pitcher's park, the other is a LL ballpark that MDS could smack one out of.
They playin' all their games at home now?
howard hits them out of anywhere but ibanez no doubt has been helped by the bank...however i think that stat exists more because of the mets minor league lineup for the last two weeks and because of delgados injury
And because David Wright has a whopping 3 bombs.
Ibanez may have been helped, but he can crush. Without CBP he may be at 12-14, but thats still pretty good.
wright falls into the lineup/delgado reasoning...he wouldnt have 15 homers or anything but he hasnt seen a pitch since delgado went down
11 of Raul's HRs were hit on the road.

Yes. Citing CBP this year is just an excuse. The Phillies as a team have been playing much better on the road than at home. Most of their splits don't show CBP aiding them very much this season (and it was middle of the pack in park adjusted standards last year).

and like I said on EMB:
Ibanez = 8 at CBP, 11 on the road
Howard = 6 at CBP, 10 on the road
btw the Mets are losing at Pittsburgh again
i was pretty bummed that i have to go to two mets nationals games this weekend and then it hit me that the phils are @ the dodgers so i should catch most of if not all of that game and the sunday game is the espn sunday night johnson

if you disagree wager it up...phils have a 1.5 game lead and are the better team its a no lose bet for you....right?
lets rock n roll
You still thinking this? After being swept by the PIRATES?
if thats your round a bout way of trying to make the bet then no...you lost out on big bucks
According to SNY's Kevin Burkhardt, following the game, J.J. Putz told reporters he will go to New York tomorrow for a medical exam, saying he may end up needing surgery.
Putz said his elbow still hurts, and he's unable to pitch without pain, writes Newsday's David Lennon on Twitter.
Putz recieved an anti-inflammatory shot earlier in the season in connection with a bone spur in his elbow.

Rain-shortened sweep, but I'll take it.
Shortstop Jose Reyes saw the Mets' team doctor Thursday and the news was not good. The speedster, who is on the disabled list with a calf strain, and who was pulled out of an extended spring training game on Tuesday, has a small tear in his right hamstring.
Here is the one paragraph announcement the Mets sent out via email this evening:
"Jose Reyes today was examined by Mets team physician Dr. Struan Coleman and subsequently underwent an MRI at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery. The MRI revealed a small tear in his right hamstring tendon, a new injury. Reyes will rest for two days and then resume treatment."
Rest for two days? Really? For a torn hamstring? What else can go wrong for this team?

You could finally drop the pretense and declare yourself a Mets fan once and for all.
are you drunk again?
I didn't say you were a Mets fan, dummy. I said what could make things worse for them would be you declaring yourself a Mets fan.

I watched it a second time with the sound turned down and "Meet the Mets" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTLmDuhV3AQ) turned up.
ha, now that is some good shtein
Sadly that was the highlight of my sports world lastnight
yeah i saw that this morning, great way to start the day.
who says ARod isn't clutch?
ha.....Castillo got a standing ovation from the crowd in his first AB
is johan hurt now?....he got ripped for 9 hits 9 runs in three innings....that would be effin sweet
13-0 Yankees, bottom of the seventh.

15-0 final :-D
Going for the two point conversion at the end was cold.
the video of this is nice....should be on sportscenter in a couple minutes
K-Rod, Bruney separated by teammates
NEW YORK -- The Subway Series is getting awfully testy.
Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez shouted at Yankees reliever Brian Bruney during batting practice Sunday and the two were separated by teammates. That came one day after Bruney called Rodriguez's exuberant celebrations on the mound a "tired act," and K-Rod said the injured right-hander "better keep his mouth shut."
In video footage on YES Network, an angry Rodriguez could be seen pointing at Bruney from a few feet away before Yankees reliever Jose Veras stepped between them in left field.
Bruney held his ground and appeared to say little, if anything. Mets pitcher Mike Pelfrey got in front of Rodriguez and escorted him away.
Bruney has pitched only once for New York since April 21 because of a strained elbow. He tossed a perfect inning Saturday in a rehab appearance for Double-A Trenton.
Afterward, he was asked about the Yankees' wild win over the Mets on Friday night, when second baseman Luis Castillo dropped Alex Rodriguez's two-out popup in the ninth inning. The error allowed two runs to score, giving the Yankees a 9-8 victory and handing K-Rod his first blown save in 17 chances this season.
"Unbelievable. I've never seen anything like that. I have, but in high school," Bruney told reporters in Trenton, N.J. "It couldn't happen to a better guy on the mound, either. He's got a tired act."
After converting a save, Francisco Rodriguez often pounds his chest and points to the sky while letting out a roar.
"I just don't like watching the guy pitch," Bruney said. "I think it's embarrassing."
Bruney's teammate, Joba Chamberlain, also has irritated opponents with his loud screams and animated fist pumps after inning-ending strikeouts. Baltimore slugger Aubrey Huff even mocked Chamberlain this season with a pair of emphatic fist pumps after hitting a home run off the right-hander.
Francisco Rodriguez, who set a major league record with 62 saves last year for the Los Angeles Angels, didn't take kindly to Bruney's comments.
"He better keep his mouth shut and do his job and not worry about somebody else," he said after closing out the Mets' 6-2 win Saturday. "If it came out from somebody big, I might pay attention to it. But somebody like that, it doesn't bother me."
Bruney is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in 10 appearances this season. He has 13 strikeouts and two walks in nine innings.
"I'm not going to get into a media war with K-Rod. He's had a great career. He set the save record and besides, he doesn't know who I am. So it doesn't matter what I think," Bruney said in the Yankees' clubhouse after Saturday's loss.
"I stand by what I said. I don't know that it makes any difference, since the guy's never heard of me."
The Mets are overflowing with pieces of shtein on that team. And the nobody is right about K-Rod too. Embarrassing doesn't begin to describe his ridiculous antics.
if you think about it, it's not really any different than an endzone dance in football. players do fist pumps, chest bumps and shtein when they hit a hr so i guess i can't really knock the guy for celebrating after a save. i do think it's stupid, but i get it.
I hate that showboating bullshtein no matter who does it. Act like you've been there and done that before, flags.
And I just saw the video. Hilarious. He's standing there talking to Bruney until his fargin posse comes over - AND THEN he starts talking shtein like, HOLD ME BACK, HOLD ME BACK!
flag.

definitely. of the 4 major sports, baseball is the only one where exuberant celebrating is largely frowned up. it makes more sense to me for a receiver to celebrate after scoring a td. on average, a wr probably scores 7 times a year. so i can see that being something to get pumped about. a closer in baseball is probably going to get 40+ opportunities a year so getting all jacked after each one does seem rather ridiculous. but, he celebrates when the game is over, so farg it. it's not like he's doing it after every out. and if it's a game against the phils, i probably never see it anyway because if i'm watching and he closes one out against them, i probably change the channel before they can even show him.
i'll tell ya who annoys the crap out of me though.....farging paplebon with that stupid look on his face before every pitch. the one where he tries to look intimidating but it really looks like he's sucking on a lemon.
ha......K-Rod walked Mariano Rivera with the bases loaded

so basically one news outlet is quoting the twitter page of another news outlet. why does a major newspaper like the ny post need to have a twitter page? why not just update their website?
because the idiots they are trying to attract will never go to nypost.com but they will follow the ny post on twitter. when you follow someone on twitter, i assume their "updates" are sent directly to your phone or are on some page or something when you yourself go on twitter.
yea.
if twitter has anything to do at all with beltran being out for the rest of this year and maybe next im all for it

the mets are the closest thing i think i've ever seen to an actual bad news bears type of team. they allowed an istp grand slam last night to the brew crew.
they all really might have the downs.
unfortunately they came back from 5-0 and survived another K-Rod blown save today, but overnight they stayed at a hotel that was overrun by a furry convention where grown-ups dress and act like animals... :-D
they also are 72 hrs from being behind the mets in the standings

QuoteSuper hot sportscaster Erin Andrews shouldn't participate in any activities where balls fly at her face -- "Clueless" anyone? -- because a line drive hit her perfect mug last night during the Mets/Dodgers game.
Andrews -- who serves as a sideline reporter for ESPN -- was struck in the chin by a foul ball hit by New York Mets player Alex Cora during the 4th inning.
Erin was hustled to the hospital a few innings later, but only suffered a bruised chin.
I'll be the first to admit when a chick is hot (see the Babe of the weeks) but I think Andrews is not. She's skinny and blond...then again, so is Ann Coulter. Both of them are nasty.

Reminds me of a time maybe about 9-10 years ago when I was working for the Reds back when they were at Riverfront Stadium. I was running a camera in the 3rd base dugout. They were playing the Astros and Craig Biggio was batting. He lined a foul ball right into the seats along 1st base... HARD! I heard a smack all the way across the field. So I zoom in with my camera to see what happened and I see this old lady, probably about 65-70, with her head back and her face was busted WIDE OPEN! She had blood pouring out of her nose and mouth onto her nice, white Reds' T-shirt... and she was literally spitting teeth out into some guy's hand.
Then Biggio hit a home run.

its not about the look.
its that she would probably let you stick your fist in her icehole after your team won a big game. its that if the sixers beat the hawks in january she would give you a hummer on the way home. its that. shell plan her life around sports like you do because shes into. and shes a tall blonde with the tits the size of jupiter.

That's been rumor for a really long time now. Considering how recently the game was at Yankee Stadium I don't think New York deserves it, but the rules are different for New York. Still, I hope someone like Washington or Cincinatti fargs them out of it. If LA or Chicago ever decides to shut down Dodger Stadium or Wrigley, MLB would definitely schedule a farewell ASG for those venues too.

LOS ANGELES, July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- With respect to recent Internet postings of Erin Andrews, she has authorized her attorney, Marshall B. Grossman of Bingham McCutchen LLP, to issue the following statement:
"While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent. She was the victim of a crime and is taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not similarly violated in the future. Although the perpetrator or perpetrators of this criminal act have not yet been identified, when they are identified she intends to bring both civil and criminal charges against them and against anyone who has published the material. We request respect of Erin's privacy at this time, while she and her representatives are working with the authorities."

i dont know if you watched all 7 videos but the others are much better quality than the first one
of course I watched all 7. I was mesmerized by her curling her hair.
tits a little saggier than i thought but otherwise, yea, pretty much the niceness youd expect.
not sure how she comes back from this. if i were id be out the game.
farg are you talking about coming back from this?
she put this out there....shes trying to become a brand name...and is there a better way to do it than this...victim and heroin all in one
no way she put this out there.
if she was like that she would have gone to access hollywood 3 years ago and would have been in playboy or naked in some b movie by this point.
dont get me wrong she loves the attention she gets and knows everyone wants to fist her but i highly doubt she okayed this.
i know we have 20 large on something i would gladly put another 20 that she has nothing to do with this.
yeah the bend over my bag for 45 seconds pretending im picking something up three feet from camera shot was real
and the do a little dance then point my ass and cooter directly towards the camera was real also

Then who is? Off the top of my head Suzy Kolber and Rachel Nichols come to mind, but I think Andrews has them beat, she's always on during the big moments.
No friggen way she wanted this to happen. She's a professional and shows class, why would she stoop to having her beautiful naked body taped in zesty quality through a peep hole. Makes no sense.
Her career is also about to skyrocket. She's hot, on a popular network, and now gets to play the victim role. The public eats that shtein up.
LOL @ beautiful naked body.
I agree with you but the turn of phrase is hilarious. It's like you're defending her honor while at the same time furiously beating off to clandestine shots of her.

Then who is? Off the top of my head Suzy Kolber and Rachel Nichols come to mind, but I think Andrews has them beat, she's always on during the big moments.
shes never on big moments...she does like second tier college football and the college world series...she never does playoff games of any kind big time cfb monday football ect
Who's their top sideline reporter then? Do tell.
I'm watching the Mets (god help me) Braves right now and the dick slobbering they're engaged in over Santana is truly awe-inspiring.
So change the channel Einstein.

ATLANTA -- Brian Stokes doesn't like Billy Wagner giving a name -- specifically, Stokes' name -- to a nothing role in the Mets' bullpen.
"He's nobody to me," an angry Stokes told The Post yesterday, his voice quivering as he spoke.
Stokes was firing back at Wagner after Wagner told The Post earlier this week that he thinks the Mets will limit him to being "a Brian Stokes-type player [who] might pitch once a week" when -- or if -- he returns from Tommy John surgery.
Stokes, a 29-year-old right-hander in his second season with the Mets, said he realizes he doesn't have the most prominent role in the bullpen. The former Tampa Bay Ray has appeared in just 34 games -- the fewest of any Mets reliever that began the season on the big league roster and isn't on the disabled list.
But Stokes didn't appreciate Wagner using his name as an example, especially because Stokes said he barely knows Wagner.
"In one ear and out the other," Stokes said before last night's 11-0 debacle against the Braves. "It's his opinion. I could not care less about it. I'm not going to try to start anything with him, but if that's how he feels about my role, that's fine. If that makes him sleep better at night, fine with me."
Stokes also defended his role, pointing out that he has been on the big league roster since Opening Day for a team whose bullpen has otherwise been a revolving door.
"I'm in uniform, right?" Stokes said. "I'm in the major leagues, right? Every time I go out there, I do the best I can to keep the team in the ballgame. I think every single person in here has a responsible role."
Stokes said he had been told of Wagner's comment about him earlier in the week and that it was hardly a shock coming from the notoriously blunt and outspoken closer.
"I'm not surprised at all," Stokes said.
What surprised Stokes is to have Wagner single him out, considering the only time they crossed paths last season was in spring training and occasionally in the Mets' clubhouse late in the year when Wagner was getting treatment on his elbow.
"I don't really know him, and we've never really talked, so I don't know why he would think to talk about me," Stokes said.
It's an open question whether Stokes and Wagner will have the chance to cross paths again as teammates with the Mets.
The Mets already have told Wagner they don't plan to pick up his option next season, and he is never mentioned as part of the team's regular injury updates.
Wagner said he doesn't think he will have a major role once he returns, which could be late August or early September, but manager Jerry Manuel disagreed yesterday when Wagner's pessimism was relayed.
"That's not true," Manuel said. "We would very much welcome Billy Wagner -- a guy of that status, a guy that has saved games. He would be ideal for us. It would probably be a great situation for him, as well."
Just don't expect Stokes to welcome Wagner with open arms.
wagner is still playing?
with himself from what i hear.

Omar's lackey/assistant Tony Bernazard, who last week cussed out his assistant because the assistant told him to wait until the half inning to demand a seat away from a Diamondbacks scout is back in the news again.
QuoteWASHINGTON - The Binghamton Mets clubhouse nearly turned into a scene out of WWE Raw recently, when VP for player development Tony Bernazard removed his shirt and challenged the Double-A players to a fight during a postgame tirade, multiples sources told the Daily News.
Bernazard particularly went after middle infield prospect Jose Coronado, using a slang term associated with a woman's anatomy, a source indicated. The confrontation happened about 10days before the All-Star break, according to insiders.
"That's an all-timer if true," an AL official said upon hearing the account, which was corroborated by multiple people with ties to the Mets.
GM Omar Minaya acknowledged Bernazard spoke to the B-Mets in a "stern voice," but said he had no knowledge of the scope being portrayed.
"I know he did have a team meeting with them," Minaya told the Daily News. "It was not a 'you-guys-have-been-great meeting.' I know he spoke to them in a stern voice. But as far as what he was wearing, what kind of shoes he was wearing, I don't know anything about that."
While the 52-year-old Bernazard's actions were over-the-top no matter what the motivation, alleged underage drinking on the team apparently was one motivation for the eruption, an organization source said. Still, sending players to counseling rather than challenging them to a rumble might have been a more appropriate course of action.
Binghamton went 1-6 during an early July home stand against New Hampshire and Erie that coincided with that tumult. Three of the defeats came by at least seven runs. The team's longtime Double-A affiliate entered last night with a 36-58 record, in last place in the Eastern League's Northern Division.
"It's ridiculous that anyone in a professional baseball environment thinks it's acceptable," a friend of several B-Mets said about the treatment of the players.
The shoddy treatment of people in the system has led to mocking of the VP behind his back.
The News reported Tuesday that Bernazard, one of GM Omar Minaya's top lieutenants, recently erupted at the organization's manager of baseball operations. During a game at Citi Field, scouts took their customary seats in a row behind home plate. Bernazard showed up during play and wanted a seat occupied by a D-Backs scout. Bernazard's deputy, already seated in the row, suggested to the Mets VP that he wait until the half-inning ended, to minimize the disruption. Bernazard ripped into his deputy with a profanity-laced tirade as scouts and patrons watched in disbelief.
LOL at the incredible hulk act.
One of those young dudes should have kicked his face in.
can we change the name of this thread to the "2009 Point and Laugh at the Mets" thread?
lost 2 of 3 from the Nationals. :-D
i'm so glad that the Heyman Halladay rumor came out, because it's getting all of their hopes up and will be that much better when he comes to the Phils
lol, saw this on Philaphans, hilarious:
QuoteWhen the New York Mets placed Bonilla on unconditional waivers in 2000, they agreed to pay out the remainder of his contract by deferring the remaining $5.9 million. Instead of paying him that money upfront, they came to an agreement where the Mets would pay him 25 equal payments of $1,193,248.20 every July 1st from 2011 until 2035.
haha, they took a 5.9 payment and made it 30 million...awesome
wow, that is horrible.
that's some taterskins type ish right there. paying a dude 35 years after you cut him.

'What do we have to do to win a game?"
That's an actual quote from an actual Met, spoken in frustration this week as this sinking team was in the process of losing three of four to the Braves and two of three to the Nationals.
Everyone knows what losing baseball looks like on the field. But here are a few snapshots of what defeat - or at least a defeatist attitude - looks like before and after games for a team that appears to be playing out the string before the end of July.
Unlike Citi Field, with its endless catacombs of hidden back rooms, the visitors' clubhouse at Nationals Park is transparent, with an open cafeteria area, its own home theater and really no closed-off areas, except for the trainer's room.
So the daily rituals of these Mets, a team six games under .500 (44-50) for the first time since the end of the 2004 season, were on full display this week.
Each afternoon, eight players were immersed in card games as they waited for BP. Another group was behind closed doors in the theatre room watching concert videos, the music thumping so loudly through the walls that it could be heard clearly in the manager's office as Jerry Manuel gave his daily media briefing - on camera.
For the five or so players actually in the clubhouse, three were hunched over a laptop laughing over videos - presumably not of that night's starting pitcher for the Nationals.
Is there a connection between a team's pregame recreational activities and their performance on the field? Maybe, maybe not. But the Mets rushed through the two losses to the Nats as if they were late for dinner, falling Tuesday in 2:09 and Wednesday in 2:20 while scoring a total of one run against a team that had been 26-66 entering those games.
With so many of these players barely having a foothold in the majors, the lack of focus on the task at hand is a little surprising. Manuel has acknowledged the gap in talent the Mets face on a nightly basis - even against Washington, a team on pace to go 48-114.
Yup, nothing a few injured players coming back won't help.
:-D
the 2009 mets might be the most disappointing team in the last 20+ years, right up there with the 2008 tigers. the only difference between the 2 is that the tigers were simply disappointing while the mets have been a catastrophic comedy of errors.
I love seeing these clowns go down the beer shtein littered shteinter. Not only because of their players, fans and management...but because all the talking heads who continuously swung from their sacks as a great team.
F off, Mets. Enjoy 4th place.

Even funnier is that the 2007 Mets and 2008 Mets are right up there too.
true, but those mets teams were good teams that pulled massive choke jobs. this year's version never really got into position to even choke away a late season lead. in a way, that kind of saddens me. doesn't give me much to look forward to for the final 2 weeks of the season.
this years team has been decimated by injuries not really a disappointment in terms of how they played....the two choke chobs were way more disappointing (wonderful) imo
That story about the shenanigans going on in the Mets clubhouse is hilarious. Can you imagine that shtein going on with Chase Utley in the room during a miserable season like the one the Mets are having?

no, i said that 2 of the most disappointing teams in the last 20 year happened in the last 2 years.

QuoteNEW YORK (AP) — Hey, Mets fans, that awful season was just a bad dream — if you believe StubHub.
The company sent an e-mail Monday offering tickets for Mets' playoff games.
"Be there alongside your New York Mets as they chase baseball immortality," the e-mail said. "Go to StubHub, where you'll find a fantastic selection of tickets to every playoff game — so you experience the championship chase live and in person."
StubHub said e-mails were sent to fans promoting several teams not in the postseason.
"This was due to an e-mail glitch," spokeswoman Joellen Ferrer said in a statement. "We regret the error and apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused. Follow-up e-mails will be sent to every person that received the e-mail, notifying them of the error on our part. In no way does this affect any transactions that have taken place on StubHub."
The Mets finished 70-92 and were out playoff contention by mid-July.

QuoteMets Near a Deal With Ryota Igarashi
By DAVID WALDSTEIN
The New York Mets
The Mets are close to signing Ryota Igarashi, a Japanese pitcher, to a two-year deal, according to a person briefed on the situation. Yes, they need an outfielder to hit in the middle of the batting order and another starting pitcher, but they also needed to improve their bullpen.
Igarashi, a 30-year-old right-handed reliever, pitched for the Yakult Swallows in the Japanese Central League since 1999 and was scouted heavily this year by many major league teams, including the Mets, the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Mariners and the Indians. Most of those scouts projected him as an effective late-inning reliever at the major league level.
With the Mets, Igarashi will have a chance to become Francisco Rodriguez's set-up man. The Mets lost Billy Wagner and J.J. Putz from last year's patchwork assemblage of late-inning relievers and needed to upgrade that area.
Last season Igarashi was 3-2 with a 3.19 earned run average in 56 games. Other than 2004, when he had 37 saves and a 2.66 E.R.A., he has not been the Swallows' primary closer, but he has excelled in the set-up role.

lolololol
if he hits 25 home runs playing 81 games in that place i'd be shocked.
even better....5/$80M
Omar Minaya, thank you.

:-D
in summation, minaya traded bay in 2002 for lou collier and now thinks he's worth 66mil. bay is a nice player but he's going to look horrible chasing balls around in that grand canyon of an outfield the mets have. nice job omar. now that steve phillips has a penchant for banging fatties, i guess it's safe to say that minaya will again follow in his footsteps and will be working for bbtn after getting fired from the mets in the next year. and then he'll farg kirstie alley and get canned from there as well.
this is farging priceless:

spent all that loot and 1 division title and 2 playoff appearance to show for it. lmfao.
Oliver Perez is as reliable as an iPhone signal.
who is playing first base? isnt delgado dead?
Murphy
dale or charlie?
so the lineup looks like
the ghost of jose reyes
luis castillo not circa 2003 when he was on roids and halfway decent
david i banged erin andrews but then again who hasnt wright
king spic carlos beltran
jason bay lol
david or daniel murphy
jeff francouer
whoever the catcher is
a pitching staff led by someone coming off major surgery who if there is god will blow out his arm on the first day of spring training. and no bullpen besides k rod.
nice.
they're still trying to get 300-lb Bengie Molina for $6-7M a yr
and they signed Kelvim Escobar. Scared.
Beltran might be done for the year with microfracture knee surgery that was not authorized by the Mets.
lololol
shut up dork
I'll shut up when you can form a coherent thought.
i have a coherent thought and right now its in your butthole
i'm pretty sure jew boy has lots of coherent thoughts. he just sucks and putting them into words.

which is kind of ironic...with journalism being his career choice (unfortunately enough for the rest of us with eyes).
he'll get better. and i'm pretty sure he puts more effort into his articles than he does his posts. although one would think that an aspiring writer would still be anal about that stuff, even on a message board.
pg know she gonna be followin my shtein cause she know she love me
maybe you should send an application to JET

that is effing hilarious.
:-D
they're apparently about to trade for Sarge Jr. to fill in for Beltran
Traded for a low level pitcher..word is it may be the beginning of a three-way deal involving the Reds..Phillips and Harangs names have come up.
the main headline on the mlb page of espn.com reads
QuoteMets-terpiece Theater
The Mets acquired Gary Matthews Jr., an outfielder who can't hit for average, can't hit for power and can't play defense. Why?
it's an insider story so i can't read it, but the headline itself gave me a good chuckle.
He won't fit into Los Mets clubhouse. I can't wait to hear Sarge have to call their games.
nm
haha...busted
Yeah....I saw Mets and its really Nats.
I suck.
Evidently, at no point before or after the Mets acquired Putz last year, did they ever ask him to take a physical. Omar even told him NOT to talk to the media about his busted elbow and to play it off as he were 100% healthy. :-D
wow, thats impressive.
mets lowering their centerfield wall from 16 to 8 feet
which is funny because they hit more homers on the road than at home last year.
which is funny because they SUCK!
It must be in the water....causing the Mets to have diarrhea of the mouth every spring training (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/20100219_Confident_Mets_ace_Santana_declares_himself_best_pitcher_in_NL_East.html)
Hey Johan, meet Roy.
whats he supposed to say
and its not like halladay is that much better....if at all
maybe not say anything at all ? great he's one of the best pitchers in the division. that does him alot of good considering the team he's on.
predicition for johan in '10 - 17-8 3.21era NO PLAYOFFS.
he can talk as much shtein as he wants...who cares. we all loved it when Jimmy said they were the team to beat before 08.

still doesnt change the fact that hes one of if not the best pitcher in the majors...if healthy of course....but im sure he thinks he will be
the team that most challenges the mets is, the mets.
since he isn't full of himself, Halladay also said Santana

obviously as i pointed out what i think he'll do this year. as usual at least 4 of those losses will be quality starts that the bullpen gives away.
i do admit johan saying this packs a bit more of a punch then when it comes from beltran.
exactly...or for god sakes jose friggin reyes
reyes - haaaa. wonder if he worked on any new dances for when he makes a play or gets a hit. farging jackoff. :-X

oh god forbid someone should have a little confidence and should be a hodunk MA farmboy
the mets are the anti-christ
true story
QuoteRoy Halladay, on Santana's comments that he's best: "I think it was a Lou Holtz quote, 'Well done is always more important than well said.'"
everytime a mets fan is born an innocent puppy dies.
they just signed Rod Barajas to compete with Chris Coste....ha
didn't barajas rape the phils on the jays last year?

:-D
meh. he's not with the mets anymore so i can't find any humor in it since it doesn't affect them in any way. plus, i like delgado even though he's a shell of his former self these days.
Delgado tore that clubhouse to pieces with his prima donna bullshtein. He practically got Willie Randolph fired by himself. His destroying the Mets is a reason to like him, I guess.
Reyes got scratched last second from their game today, something in his blood work, i'm guessing aids
