Hope we get this in. Just cause I can see it on TV.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 11:08 AM

Thats a great lead-off bmfc1. Thank you.

bmfc1 Aug 31 2008 11:09 AM

You're welcome. If you're interested, I posted the call-ups in another thread.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 11:22 AM

As everyone knows and says its good to have the extra arms. Interesting about how Valentine didn't like the 40 man roster thing. They've been doing that forever, haven't they?

Zvon Aug 31 2008 11:26 AM

Note to Pedro: Try and keep the pitch from the center of the plate. 0-2 Fish.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 31 2008 11:27 AM

I don't have high hopes for this game. Our best chance for magic-number-reduction today is to have Carlos Zambrano beat the Phillies.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 31 2008 11:27 AM

Bobby liked the old days when rosters were larger (28 guys) for the first few weeks of the year, rather than at the end. I think bringing that back would be nice, in addition to getting a chance to see whether Spring Training Superstars can keep it up during the regular season, trades and drama would accompany the early season "cut-down day."

I understand what Jerry has said about over-crowding the locker room and possible affecting team chemistry, but what if you have an 18-inning game? What if it's a 1-run game, Castro is on 1st, and you have run out of pinch runners? I would rather have too many than too few.

I wasn't aware or simply don't remember that was done. I always thought I was knowledgeable and well informed about the game, more so than the average fan, and I didn't realize how untrue that was until I got into fantasy baseball.

bmfc1 Aug 31 2008 11:37 AM

If they had a 28-man roster at the start of the season, which makes sense, then the owners would have to pay 3 more players a major league salary. Howie said that Ramon will be activated tomorrow so that means 35 Mets.

TransMonk Aug 31 2008 11:47 AM

The Marlins haven't won consecutive games at all during the month of August. The Mets need to keep that streak going today.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 11:53 AM

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 31 2008 11:53 AM

Nick the Stick finally got one!

Zvon Aug 31 2008 11:54 AM

Rockin' Doc Aug 31 2008 11:56 AM

Evans and Wright with back to back jacks.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 11:56 AM

Don't be impressed by the knowledge of fantasy leaguers. The game they know is an abstraction of the real game.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 11:59 AM

First career jack for Evans, finally delivering that power Omar has been talking up.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 12:04 PM

ooo, Evans taking chances out there in left. A double no matter how you slice it,imo.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 12:08 PM

Nice curve on the corner gets us outta that. Whew.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 31 2008 12:08 PM

Woulda demanded Pedro retire on the spot if he didn't get that.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 12:09 PM

Pedro and I have no problems. He may be the bullpen savior we need.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3562459 Zambrano's arm is tired. WAKE IT THE HELL UP!!!

KC Aug 31 2008 12:24 PM

AG: Don't be impressed by the knowledge of fantasy leaguers. The game they know is an abstraction of the real game<<< Afuckinmen! I live a baseball season and I don't find much enjoyment out of picking a bunch of players on different teams and hope they score me points to win a contest. The real contest is between the lines.

TransMonk Aug 31 2008 12:42 PM

Phils already up 3-0 in the first vs. Zambrano's replacement. More runs, please!

KC Aug 31 2008 12:47 PM

No Phillies again on MLB tv package? It's a game with race implications. I don't know what channel it's on in Chicago, but our cable system hasn't provided WGN for many years now. Boo.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 01:04 PM

Huge hit for JReyes. Knocks Olsen outta the game. Nice. 4-2 Mets. And yea, more runs please.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 01:05 PM

3-2 Phils, Cubs have 2 on and two out in the 2nd.

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2008 01:10 PM

I think it's clear that the secret's been unlocked here: - score early and you DON'T score late (Fish today - us for like every one of our last 95 games) but give up runs early and you DO score late.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 01:13 PM

YEA. JReyes scores untouched on the tag. 6-2 METS

Your 2008 Mets: Fostering Resiliencey and Effecting Redemption on a Daily, Almost Hourly, Basis.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 01:42 PM

Do it again Jose!

Zvon Aug 31 2008 01:45 PM

UGH! I thought that landed behind Amezaga. But he caught it. Gah x 2.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 01:50 PM

See? Thats why we should have pitched to Jacobs last night. He'll swing at shit.

metirish Aug 31 2008 01:53 PM

HD on Channel 11 is pure shite.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 01:54 PM

Smith is all over the place.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 01:57 PM

The mound visit sets him straight. On to the 9th... Even more runs please.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 01:57 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 31 2008 02:45 PM

Manuel seems to be working with the strategy of getting one or two outs from everybody. Just don't put Duaner in this game without calling me first.

Rockin' Doc Aug 31 2008 02:00 PM

It's amazing how many pitchers the Mets require just to get through the final 2 or 3 innings of most games.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 02:02 PM

It's a good strategy... if it works.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 02:04 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 31 2008 02:06 PM

Hang on to your butts.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 02:04 PM

3 outs to go. Oh, those last 3 outs..... Stokes? Phils are currently up 4-2.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 02:10 PM

Strikes, Brian.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 02:11 PM

ONE. (Nice job hanging on, Robinson.)

Rockin' Doc Aug 31 2008 02:12 PM

Two. Hanley flies to Beltran. Just one more to go.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 02:12 PM

DOS.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 02:14 PM

Now a save sit.

Zvon Aug 31 2008 02:16 PM

WHOA! What a catch by JReyes to end it.

AG/DC Aug 31 2008 02:17 PM

TROIS! That's the way to pick folks up.

bmfc1 Aug 31 2008 02:18 PM

Ain't nothing easy but we'll more than take it.

metirish Aug 31 2008 02:18 PM

Nice grab by Reyes , Stokes on with Buchhart talking a mile a minute.

Rockin' Doc Aug 31 2008 02:24 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 31 2008 02:30 PM

Now if the Cubs can rally to a victory over the Phillies. The Phillies are leading 5-2 in the bottom of the sixth. The Cubs have runners at first and second with one out and Ryan Theriot at the plate against Moyer. Make that Theriot to face Chad Durbin as Manuel pulls Moyer. Upon Edit: The Cubs come up empty as Theriot Strikes out and Soriano pops out to Utley.
