IGT - Braves at Mets, July 10, 2010

Willets Point Jul 10 2010 06:32 AM

I'm surprised there's no IGT already since they seem to be started at least two days in advance these days. At any rate I'm jumping in to start my first of the season and change the mojo for the Mets. Old & busted Tim Hudson starts for the Braves while new, future Cy Young winner Mike Pelfrey starts for the Mets. Expect some ass-kicking by the Mets offense and a complete silencing of the Braves bats. I'm ready!

G-Fafif Jul 10 2010 01:23 PM Re: IGT - Braves at Mets, July 10, 2010

Reserving the right to change my mind, but I kind of liked Kevin Millar last week, until late in the game, anyway, when I hated everybody. There was a hint of Dizzy Dean to him. I had dreaded the Buck-McCarver combo, per usual. Buck still sucks, but at least it was different. Albert's a pro (a legacy broadcaster who appears to have worked at his craft, as opposed to Joe Buck). Hopefully he'll keep Millar on the relatively straight and narrow. I think he has potential. Couldn't believe how much I didn't hate Millar, actually. I hate Eric Karros, to use an example of Fox dragging someone into the booth just off the playing field. Mark Grace is another one who's awful. A Mets win makes everybody sound better...except for Joe Buck. And I didn't care for his father either.

Ya know, if they appreciated it down there and over packed that awful field I'd be more okay with this (from a PR...PUBLIC RELATIONS!...perspective.)
But as it stands now, I don't like it.

Zvon Jul 10 2010 02:27 PM Re: IGT - Braves at Mets, July 10, 2010

Me, from yesterday: Reyes should be up on the shelf. He is our switch hitting speedster lead off hitter. If he's too injured to do two of those things, I don't think he should play. He is a WAY to important cog in our engine. If he ends up injured for any long length of time, we are in serious trouble. Mike Vacarro from todays Post: "They don't need to see Reyes go away for 15 days. They do not need to see their engine go on the same shelf where he spent most of 2009." Hey Mike, why don't we actually get together and bash out these articles. We can put my desk right across from yours. ;) (actually, I can see why you make the big bucks. You said it in two sentences.)

Millar just called Wright a professional hitter. Indeed, the Mets normally choose their batters from a group of amateur players congregating in the Home Depot parking lot.

Tip o' the hat to Z, again, for the new avatar. Millar makes a great point about deadline-shopping and "buying low" (including sorta kinda sidling up to the notion of regression-to-the-mean, in so many words). I'm going to go ahead and venture that was a stopped-clock kinda thing.

I don't expect anything else form Millar though, everyone is a great guy , the clubhouse is full of leaders , when he said about Francoeur and it being a year to the day since the trade" he's hit about .275 in that year", he made it seem like it was .375.....

Hasn't it been obvious to everyone he hasn't been 100% this week? After all that crap last year, sending him back out there unable to hit from one side of the plate and obviously compromised defensively seems fairly stupid.
