Sweep the Redlegs, Johnny.

Ceetar Jul 28 2011 07:25 AM Re: IGT July 28 Gay Dame Mets v. Reds

I don't get the point of trying to give guys days off if Terry's going to let them talk him into letting them play anyway. Reyes today isn't the first time it's happened. If you feel Reyes would benefit from a rest, then do it.

Edgy DC Jul 28 2011 07:41 AM Re: IGT July 28 Gay Dame Mets v. Reds

Carter used to regularly talk Davey Johnson out of days off. Who was supposed to be today's shortstop? I'm curious who our backup actually is.

TransMonk Jul 28 2011 07:44 AM Re: IGT July 28 Gay Dame Mets v. Reds

I believe it's Turner, with Harris playing second.

Collins cited it on his WFAN interview yesterday. he mentioned giving Turner a day off yesterday because he wanted him fresh because he was thinking of giving Reyes a day off today and he'd be the guy. But reports this morning suggest Reyes talked his way back into the lineup. It's just that he's coming off a hamstring strain, it's hot, he's shown signs in the past of growing fatigued as the season winds down (but who knows, maybe that was residual thyroid issues caused by eating a lot of shellfish in the summer time?) on the o ther hand, he's freaking awesome and you want him in the lineup always.

Edgy DC Jul 28 2011 07:51 AM Re: IGT July 28 Gay Dame Mets v. Reds

He did something that suprised me last night --- rippling a ball down the line in right and pulling up halfway to second and trotting in. If he doesn't go for three there, he usually at least tears through second to force a throw before slamming on the breaks before the cutoff man can throw behind him. Probably best that he didn't pull that because Bruce came up cleanly with the ball and he can throw and there were two outs. Either he was taking it easy because of his leg or he's growing up and just made the smart choice.

Your New York Potential Broomsticks: Reyes SS Turner 2B Murphy 1B Wright 3B Pagan CF Bay LF Duda RF Thole C Capuano P I really wish Terry would flip Pagan and Duda in the order.

He's getting there. These things happen in Terrytime.

Anybody joining the team to replace Beltran? Evans? Baxter? Will the 911th Met debut on 9/11?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 28 2011 08:29 AM Re: IGT July 28 Gay Dame Mets v. Reds

Tracky said, of all people, Mike Nickeas, but it depended upon when the deal was OKayed. Press conference at noon.

Gwreck Jul 28 2011 08:33 AM Re: IGT July 28 Gay Dame Mets v. Reds

I don't think they can call Evans back up quite yet as he hasn't been in the minors for 10 days yet.

Edgy DC Jul 28 2011 08:53 AM Re: IGT July 28 Gay Dame Mets v. Reds

I'm thinking it maybe is for Metly reasons, as in, "I can't say so yet, but Paulino's heading to the Indians."

Paulino would be going to a different Indian burial ground.

SurfingTheMets Andy Martino Alderson wouldn't rule out other deals before Sunday, but made it sound very unlikely anyone else goes. NYPost_Mets Mike Puma Alderson says probably no more trades: "We've made it a little tougher on our players. I'd be very reluctant to make it tougher on them." NYPost_Mets Mike Puma Alderson called Wheeler a prospect with "top end potential." @AdamRubinESPN Adam Rubin Alderson on Wheeler's major league ETA: "Is 2012 a possibility? Probably unlikely." #mets

Capuano is decent and seems like a good guy but they got him for nothing and he's an injury risk so if Sandy can get an OK prospect in exchange, he should do it.

It was plainly obvious the Mets were a playoff pick long before that sweep. Tons of people here and elsewhere picked the Mets to make the playoffs. I personally picked the Mets to win 97 games that year. What that sweep (and the subsequent one of Philly) did was remove all doubt that the Mets would make the playoffs.

Fman99 Jul 28 2011 06:41 PM Re: IGT July 28 Gay Dame Mets v. Reds

Maybe if you jumpy bastards had let me start an IGT streak earlier this season we'd still have Beltran. Having said that, YOU'RE WELCOME. Fman now 4-0 on the ol' IGT wagon. And away we go! I got to listen to the first two innings on my phone and the last one in the car, missed most of the hitting. The WP loomed large when it happened and bigger still when Votto went yard. KTE will be posted in the morning.
