John Ely -- RHP, 23 years old, acquired by the Dodgers from the White Sox in the Juan Pierre trade, will be making his major league debut. Born & raised on the south side of Chicago, throws low 90s cutter, curveball, changeup. 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA in three starts at Albuquerque.

bmfc1 Apr 28 2010 09:02 AM Re: Do it Again I.G.T. 4/28 Dodgers @ Mets

Ely's not the pitcher who's gonna determine whether this streak continues.

Gwreck Apr 28 2010 09:28 AM Re: Do it Again I.G.T. 4/28 Dodgers @ Mets

Especially because Takahashi is only available to bail us out every few days. I thought Jerry was pretty quick with the hook for Oliver last night (something I was in favor of) -- and it worked out (courtesy an assist from the Home-plate ump). Can he be quick with the hook again today if necessary? Even if it means Raul Valdes or Manny Acosta has to pitch 2+ innings?

Gwreck Apr 28 2010 09:45 AM Re: Do it Again I.G.T. 4/28 Dodgers @ Mets

I wouldn't be either. Didn't see a whole lot of effort yesterday from Kemp (Keith was on him for this during the broadcast).

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 28 2010 09:53 AM Re: Do it Again I.G.T. 4/28 Dodgers @ Mets

Fair enough. But Kemp is so not the problem there. I hear Neuwenhuis is a real max-effort player. Gee, too. Howzabout a trade?

If Gameday is correct, Davis just singled to right on a pitch five inches off the plate outside.

Gameday won't tell me if Francoeur hustled to avoid that DP but I certainly have noticed it when actually watching other games. He's not the perfect player but he sure is a likeable fellow.

An error on Reyes on the throw to first lets the Dodgers score, Jose gets the error but Davis gets zero points for his gymnastics around the bag there.

There was an episode of the The White Shadow in which the Carver High basketball team (as they were known) is on a long-winning streak, and as if to rub it in, they bring in Abner Goldstein, their slow, inept backup center, and he shows up the opponent. That's what Frank Catalanotto doubling a minute ago felt like. Hope there's no comeuppance for his mindleslly getting caught off second the way there was for Carver High when Coach Reeves called on his buddies the Harlem Globetrotters to teach his kids A Valuable Lesson In Humility.

Frankie says "1-2-3 innings are boring. Give people a little more time to hit the Shake Shack before they head out."

Damn good homestand!

I'm happy that Fman, Fboy and Kase had a good game :)

The last two games, I noticed the trainers happily joining in the coaches post-game slaps. Perhaps they're happy that no one got hurt.

Ashie62 is EN FUEGO!... and so are the Mets.

When the 10 game homestand began, I said that I would like 6 and 4 but 7 and 3 would be great. No... this is great. YIPPEE!

You so lit'ral. Listening to DietCokey for the first time in a bit. Francesa is sounding discombobulated and anxious, attempting to sound happy while praising the Mets in one breath, then getting snippy with callers who aren't parroting him. It's hilarious.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 28 2010 03:49 PM Re: Do it Again I.G.T. 4/28 Dodgers @ Mets

Sounds tense enough to be doing so. The Met fan callers sound screened especially for idiocy (wondering aloud about potential Beltran-for-pitching trades, blathering about Ike "inspiring" the team with his professionalism). But anyway... I believe in tidiness... and Ashie.

[quote="Kong76":3lrd5eqx]Don't have anything to add game wise ... it was fun to meet and spend some game time with Fman and Spideyboy today![/quote:3lrd5eqx] Agreed, KC is good Met-watchin company, as is Fboy. Aside from the weather, which was nasty, very little to complain about out there today.

[quote="Edgy DC":1q8qik8n]Can we add that Catalanotto needs a schoolin'? What the devil?[/quote:1q8qik8n] I think honestly that he was just cold and running in to get off the field. Can't say I blame him.

Fman99 Apr 29 2010 12:58 PM Re: Do it Again I.G.T. 4/28 Dodgers @ Mets

Lessons learned from yesterday's tilt. 1. On a windy day, it gets windy at Citi Field. We were getting pushed across the outfield area out by Shake Shack by the wind. I think next year I will wait until summer before we make this journey. 2. Getting there at 11 AM helps get a kid to the front of the tee ball line, and a 2 minute wait for a Shack burger for his dad (MAN those are tasty), and plenty of quality time with Mr. Met himself. And an unobstructed view of the good Mets HOF stuff. 3. The Mets HOF is bad ass. So much cool stuff in there. 4. Kong76 is a big dude. Not fat, just big. Tall. You tend to think of the online only types as being of a certain physical stature but I was like, Whoa. Don't mess with Kase. 5. If your child is wearing a Spiderman winter hat in New York City, the locals like this. LOTS of people, both Citi Field employees and attendees, pointing out "Hey, Spiderman's here!" and "Wow, I feel safer now knowing he's at the park." Fboy ate this all up, too. 6. Ten hours in the car for five hours in the park isn't a trade I'd make every week, but once or twice a year it's all good. Taking the Whitestone out of Queens and beating the traffic helped immensely, I was home at 9:25 instead of 11:30 like last year. 7. When you ask your five year old son, at the end of a REAL long day, what his favorite part was, and he says "Watching the Mets win the game," you know you got your money's worth.

I took a video a couple of weeks ago of the wind trying to knock my cup out of the cupholder.
