Carlos Speaks

A lot has been made in the booth today of the normally undemonstrative Beltran openly showing frustration with his teammates, but there's just something missing.

What he said about Pagan: "I called for the ball like six times ... But Pagan stood in the middle and I couldn't put my glove on the ball. On a ball like that, I have priority. If Pagan would have called for that ball, my job is to get out of the way. He's been in center field before, so he knows that when the center fielder calls for the ball, everyone has to get out of the way."

What I'm missing: "Of course, there was nothing stopping me from running him down there. I'm not going in head first, but if the train comes through, he'll never stand on the tracks again."

What he said about Church: "I’ve never seen anything like that."

What I'm missing: "And a lot of folks said they never saw anything like me blowing a go-ahead run because I came in standing up. So now I have a good idea how frustrating that was for my teammates and our fans and I'm sure never going to put them through that again."

I'll defend him. The last time he went face first into a teammate he got knocked unconscious. I've never seen a guy get called out for missing third either, perhaps he was making a point about the ump.

Block of cheese? Is that a Ramon Castro joke?

edit: No, wait. A block of cheese would spend less time on the DL.

I wish I knew that function last night. There's really quite a lot of fertile ground for quality poetry in there.

My own profanity-and-idiocy-laced poetry. Worthy of The New Yorker? I say yes.

http://cranepoolforum.net/phpbb2/search ... hor=Fman99

The CPF -- it's fantarded!
No drinking = no late night wit and wisdom
Sick. For Throneberry's sake

Just fired up a four person challenge
Oh, Lord, let's see if Mrs. Lima is in attendance please.
I am sorry I ever doubted Timmy and his chin-merkin

Kevin Burkhart interviewing some old crank while holding his ball.
Yes, that's right.
Is Ron Jeremy at the game tonight?
The neon "Loudmouths" logo actually looks like two guys trying to suck the same cock.

Frank McCourt looks like his face is in the process of imploding, like a neutron star.
Ha!

Is it weird that there's less genital humor dripping off of that one that I expected?

(I'd do one for me, except it'd be less like a poem, and more like a Teletubby baby comic.)

We've had plenty of Ed Hearn articles over the years
And Dr. Smith and the robot ...
So what's Shines' responsiblity there?

So, is there still copious memory on your PC?

]Voting for Monday night's loss to the Dodgers in LA will close some time on Thursday. We currently have a dead heat for first place in the Schaefer Player of the Year competition. Yesterday it was Cookie Lavagetto, and he's leading so far today as well. Were we aware of John Goodman's Mets background? Okay, but in May, he's fifth in at bats. Hmmm. My paranoia is kicking in. I'm waiting to hear what Cookie Lavagetto has to say about it. When you have outfielders, you play them in the infield. Is your mailbox full? Ryan Church is actually fourth on the team in at bats. Only Beltran, Wright, and Reyes have more. Sometimes I think, "we need a hit here" but in that sense I'm more thinking of we, the fans, not we, the team.

Not sure I understand the rules of this one. Random thoughts from our own recent postings...? If so, here's my entry:


Hmmm,
That lineup's gonna score some runs tonight.
For 3 good players and a prospect
This has been puzzling me too
Maine or Pelfrey
Yeah, um, I say that.
I mean, after all,
These two look like superhero costumes.

The Ballad of Big Balls John

Hate To Feel
Big Balls John
My pecker is a stirring for Wright again
Dropped line drives always seem to score
I'm just going to ask this question
In a nut shell what were the screw ups?

Pierre scores and the Dodgers are on the board
Strange things happen when the Mets are out West

Big Balls John
