2009 Mets Season Thread

Ha - that's funny.  The longer Burrell has to sit back on that slop, the quicker his bat will be.  He's a Mets killer as it is.  I can't wait for the first time he crushes one off wittle Johnny Saint.

For real?

Pat Burrell?  Come on Rome... The same Pat Burrell that all except one of you will be crying and bitching for him to be cut after the 1st week of the season?  I think you'll have to wait less to see Johan freeze the shtein out of Burrell as he looks at another called strikeout.


lol @ calling one of MLB's best pitchers' sig pitch "slop".

Johan loves the cock.

[Rome]

So does Feva.

Oh, burn.

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.

PORT 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?

Please someone kill that little stylishly dressed young man.  Please?  Pretty please??

True.  True. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Oh, I totally forgot that someone like that existed on this board.  My bad, buddy!

But yet he gets all whiny about the Phillies supposedly talking about fighting them this year.

Ball gags were not only made for whore sex, but for Billy Wags too.
