When the question is phrased, as it is above, as "most" culpable any answer besides "Pedro" is nonsense.

Teams win. Teams lose.

Einstein the issue we have isn't "blame" but rather the dumb assessment that the offense "did its job" on a night where they left men on 3rd less than 2 out three times and went 9 scoreless innings.

Who is Einstein supposed to be?

Anyone who thinks 7 runs is enough when the other team scores 8

Ahh I get it now , reading the last few pages of the IGT.

Just seems to be little situation awareness.

I think that the BP is the LEAST culpable for this loss. 7 Runs is a bunch and SHOULD be enough, obviously it was not, but the Mets also SHOULD have scored more often than they did. They blew a ton of chances. . . and pedro walking 2 people in an inning with a 7 run lead is unacceptable.

The leadoff double to a relief pitcher wasn't a great idea either.

All of the above - but the bullpen seems to just be pure death this year and last.

Pedro's five earnies cost me on three of my five fantasy teams.

SNY showed a nice neat box last night detailing the pens numbers since after the All-Star break , very ugly they were.

Well, there was the same squad the last five or six weeks last year. I'm not trying to bury the offense at all, but there comes a time when you've got to look to yourself and say, no, we can't count on those guys, so we've got to get this done ourselves. Relentlessly. It's like politics. You can blame the other party or you can fucking lead the way.

Yeah, exactly - over the last two years its been the same fucking thing.

It was Willie Randoph's fault.

Soupcan said it. I've never seen anything like it. Good teams, and the Mets are a good team, aren't supposed to lose like that.

The order of blame for last night goes:

I voted for Schneider. I know it was a tough play, and plenty of others contibuted to the loss, but given his pathetic bat, shouldn't he make a good defensive play at least every once in a while? Other than durability, I have seen very little out of him this year. Not the plus defender / super game caller he was billed as.
|
metirish Aug 27 2008 12:21 PM |
Schneider is swinging a great bat lately , one of the best on the team, that's probably not a good thing though.
|
AG/DC Aug 27 2008 12:31 PM |
I have no idea wha I'm supposed to see in him as a game caller, but that missed catch was a Jason Phillips special.

No, Einstein, that's your strawman. I never said anything about the offense doing it's job, despite the fact that you put quotation marks around it. Here's what I said: "Pedro is to blame. 7 runs should be enough." A simple concept. Do you follow yet?

Bullpen. They have made a habit of losing.

Anyone who doesn't understand that 7 runs should be enough to win a baseball game.
