Is Keith sick, he didn't sound so good during the game last night, it sounds Ed Coleman is doing the game with Gary.

duan May 14 2006 02:13 PM mlb.tv?

anyone else having problems getting to mlb.tv?

Zvon May 14 2006 02:18 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 14 2006 03:37 PM

Well,Beltran is not afraid of collisions anymore,Id have to think after that catch. He shoulda been yellin for the ball there tho........sometimes he's just too cool.

Zvon May 14 2006 02:20 PM

Pedro's perfect in the 1st. Happy moms day all you muthas!

Zvon May 14 2006 02:25 PM

I keep adjusting my set but I cant get the bat to be the right color....... ;)

Nymr83 May 14 2006 02:33 PM

Lee misjudged that ball big-time, and once again WALKS KILL as wright and nady come home. 2-0 good guys.

Zvon May 14 2006 02:34 PM

Valentin rips a 2 RBI double that was hit so hard that Carlos Lee avoided it. Mets up 2-0

Hillbilly May 14 2006 02:34 PM

That's 6 rbis for Valentin in the last 20 hours.

Zvon May 14 2006 02:35 PM

Nymr83 wrote: Lee misjudged that ball big-time, and once again WALKS KILL as wright and nady come home. 2-0 good guys. lol--walks DO kill. so do errors.

Zvon May 14 2006 02:39 PM

="Hillbilly"]That's 6 rbis for Valentin in the last 20 hours. And last night he pulled a Chavez ( hittin and fieldin) never thought id hear myself sayin that. :)

Nymr83 May 14 2006 02:40 PM

wow i just saw prince fielder's "homer" from last night and i think the umpires need an eye-exam.

Zvon May 14 2006 02:42 PM

Nymr83 wrote: wow i just saw prince fielder's "homer" from last night and i think the umpires need an eye-exam. yea-I saw that late last night and it was worth getting tossed for, Willie. They really screwed the pooch on that one. Dont umps supposed to be able to see? I mean, isnt good vision a prerequisite of the job?

Zvon May 14 2006 02:43 PM

ugh---and now they are squeezin Pedro.

Nymr83 May 14 2006 02:44 PM

yeah but its a union job, you pass the eye exam once when you'e 25 and never lose your job. pedro walks 2 in a row and then gives up a 3-run bomb, WALKS KILL

Zvon May 14 2006 02:45 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 14 2006 03:33 PM

And after 2 walks Damian goes yard. Bad omen. 3-2 BrewCrew

Nymr83 May 14 2006 02:50 PM

i like the bunt attempt by reyes.

Zvon May 14 2006 02:57 PM

They hit Delgado. Toss Davis ump....at least be consistant.

Hillbilly May 14 2006 03:14 PM

Pedro gets the 2-strike bunt down. Lets go Jose!

Zvon May 14 2006 03:15 PM

Nice sac bunt by Martinez puts 2 in scoring position with 2 out....... but Reyes breaks his bat grounding out to end the inning.

Hillbilly May 14 2006 03:15 PM

Weak grounder leaves two ducks on the pond.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 03:16 PM

Doug Davis, living the Bannister lifestyle.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 03:35 PM

Nady has a hitch in his swing.

Zvon May 14 2006 03:35 PM

6 left on base last 3 innings for the Mets. Cant win that way.

Bret Sabermetric May 14 2006 03:37 PM

The radio guys announce that the Mets have not "publicly thought" about Saturday's pitcher, although they concede that they have certainly thought about it in private. Question: Isn't all thinking, by definition, private? Does this have something to do with elaborate avoidance of the "L" word? Wouldn't the statement convey the same thing if they'd said "The Mets say they haven't thought about Saturday's pitcher very much, but that's some kind of lie--they're obviously thinking about it a lot, but they're saying that they haven't"?

Zvon May 14 2006 03:40 PM

Weeks hits one into next week. 4-2 Brew

Zvon May 14 2006 03:43 PM

7 Ks gives Pedro the NL lead in strikeouts, but he's on the shitty end of this stick so far.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 03:44 PM

Let's get him off the hook NOW!!!!

Edgy DC May 14 2006 03:46 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 14 2006 03:48 PM

OK, knocked out the starter in the sixth. They can do this thing.

Hillbilly May 14 2006 03:46 PM

Time to jump all over this Brewer bullpen!

Zvon May 14 2006 03:50 PM

Castro single. Valentin with a sky high pop out right up the chute. Pedro stays in and sacs for the 2nd time. 2 out-man on 2nd. Reyes,, use your bat on the ball.

Zvon May 14 2006 03:56 PM

he pops up and out. :(

Zvon May 14 2006 03:58 PM

side note- Phils are tied with the Reds 1-1 in the 10th in Cincy.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 04:02 PM

Rally song brought to you by NRBQ by way of Dave Edmunds: Just a bunch of guys driving in the car No matter who's driving or for how far Feels so good, yeah it's been so long No fancy drivers tell us how to drive Me and the boys! Just me and the boys! Me and the boys! Me and my buddies just like to go We're having fun, everybody knows We don't fuss and we never fight We're just grooving, taking in the sights Me and the boys! Just me and the boys! Me and the boys! Don't raise questions ‘bout how it's done We're just messing round, having fun The car gears shifting well up and down The muffler’s fallin’ out, but we love the sound Me and the boys! Just me and the boys! Me and the boys! It ain't like us to hang around this town Cause downtown squares just bring us down I've got to find me something new Don't want to think about what they do, yeah… The future's no problem, now, we don't care ‘Cause wherever we're going, we'll soon get there Me and the boys! Just me and the boys! Me and the boys!

Zvon May 14 2006 04:05 PM

If the Mets dont make a comeback here it'll be more like ......(wait for it..............) ...Crawling from The Wreckage. BADABOOM

Zvon May 14 2006 04:08 PM

Delgado lost the pink bat.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 04:12 PM

Big big error by Ricky Weeks. They bring in the LOOGy to get Delgado, he induces the grounder, but Weeks boots it. Now they have to go Kolb with one down in the seventh to go after Wright.

Zvon May 14 2006 04:12 PM

Weeks errors the funky humpback liner off Delgado. ...Errors kill, ya know. As do walks, which is how Beltran got on. Wright up. 2 on-1 out. Time to do it David.

Zvon May 14 2006 04:16 PM

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA huge hit by Wright. HUGE error by Jenkins. METS TIE IT!

Edgy DC May 14 2006 04:16 PM

Wright getting a crap call from the umpire, still hangs in there and ties it with a dubble. A dubble, Rubble!

Zvon May 14 2006 04:17 PM

wow--no error on the play. Wright doubles in 2 (< that sounds better anyway).

metirish May 14 2006 04:18 PM

How was that NOT an error on Jenkins?....

Zvon May 14 2006 04:22 PM

Ya know-even if it was a clean double (which it wasnt) no way was Delgado going to score on a typical double. He only made it cuz the ball was so far into right field. I shouldnt complain tho- it works for Wright. Tie ball game- mid 7th.

DocTee May 14 2006 04:22 PM

Four runs on three hits; Zvon's right: walks and errors do kill.

Bret Sabermetric May 14 2006 04:29 PM

Changed the scoring to a single and an error on Jenkins. Wright loses a ribbie.

Zvon May 14 2006 04:30 PM

Bret Sabermetric wrote: Changed the scoring to a single and an error on Jenkins. Wright loses a ribbie. well,....they made the right dicision there. It was a huge error. Pedros done. Lets pick him up guys.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 04:32 PM

Release Valentin now! Release him from the bench.

Zvon May 14 2006 04:32 PM

WOW- Valentin with his 5th hit in his last 6 at bats. Thats baseball for ya.

Zvon May 14 2006 04:33 PM

Maybe Chavez can pull a Valentin. But he sacs, and its a beaut. Runner in scoring position, Reyes up. Come on Jose.......

Zvon May 14 2006 04:35 PM

shitcrapdagnabbitt. Reyes pops out. (Howard homers for the 2nd time to put the Phils up 2-1 in the 12th)

Zvon May 14 2006 04:39 PM

ugh. Matsui way out in front of that change up. Ends up grounding out. looks like its gonna be another one of those games. (and another Pedro outing where he gets no win [or loss])

Edgy DC May 14 2006 04:41 PM

Needed a rally song last inning.

Zvon May 14 2006 04:43 PM

sanchez in, and gives up a lead off hit. Nice try by Nady on that line single. Takin a chance there but he kept it in front of him.

Zvon May 14 2006 04:44 PM

Uh-oh Errors do something id rather not bring up right now. Delgado errors the sac bunt and all safe. 1st & 2nd-no one out for Mil.

Zvon May 14 2006 04:47 PM

Brewers sac em over the 2nd & 3rd. One out. Nice play by Castro waiting for a clear path to throw. Come on Sanchez! Shut em down!

Edgy DC May 14 2006 04:48 PM

I can't figure out today's strike zone.

Zvon May 14 2006 04:48 PM

poo

Bret Sabermetric May 14 2006 04:48 PM

sac fly, 5-4 brew crew

Zvon May 14 2006 04:51 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 14 2006 04:51 PM

10 of Jenkins 21 RBIs are against the Mets? Thats some crazy sheeeeeeee-it. Turnbow to close, Mets with the big guns up.

metirish May 14 2006 04:51 PM

This blows, and Philly won again today...

Zvon May 14 2006 04:56 PM

Turnbow blows Beltran away. 1 down. Degado (2006 MVP-MVP) up....... Delgado with a double in the gap! Come on David!!!!!!!!!

Edgy DC May 14 2006 04:56 PM

Delgado is pretty awesome, isn't he?

Zvon May 14 2006 04:59 PM

wright grounds out--delgado moves over to third. Im surprized Nady is still usin the pink bat.

metirish May 14 2006 05:00 PM

WOW....I love this game....ump had his arm cocked and ready to call Nady out and end the game....

Nymr83 May 14 2006 05:00 PM

WOW. inches from losing again

Elster88 May 14 2006 05:01 PM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on May 14 2006 05:04 PM

Wow. Let's get that down for posterity. 2 hopper in the hole, SS goes into short left to pick it up, does a jump throw. The throw bounces on its way to first, Cecil Jr has to sort of dive as he's reaching for it, he grabs it in his glove a full step before Nady touches first as he's falling down. But when he hits the ground it fell out of his glove. Base hit correctly called. If Fielder had held onto it it would've been a great play on both ends. AND, if he had been out, either Nady is ridiculously slow or he wasn't hustling the whole way.

Zvon May 14 2006 05:01 PM

WHEW Nady gets it done with an infield single. Tie game. wow---- Delgado getting over to third was HUGE. DAMN! Clark makes a diving catch to get the brewers out of it.

metirish May 14 2006 05:02 PM

Gray was right about how big Delgado going to 3rd on Wrights grounder....it's the small things that he does that are also impressive.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 05:03 PM

That wasn't quite diving. The ump was pumped to call Nady out there. Would he have been? I thought safe at first. Replay says maybe not.

Elster88 May 14 2006 05:03 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 14 2006 05:05 PM

I said "sort of" diving. If you've got a better way to explain be my guest. It's a better written record than "infield hit"

Zvon May 14 2006 05:04 PM

Edgy DC wrote: That wasn't quite diving. The ump was pumped to call Nady out there. Would he have been? I thought safe at first. Replay says maybe not. that other view says maybe a tie at 1st. cripes, these umps.

Elster88 May 14 2006 05:05 PM

If he had caught it, Nady was definitely out.

My apologies.

Zvon May 14 2006 05:06 PM

.....a lunging catch.

Elster88 May 14 2006 05:06 PM

Is it just nerves? Or is Wright just a bad fielder?

Zvon May 14 2006 05:07 PM

DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! have you not learned what errors do?

Elster88 May 14 2006 05:07 PM

This is what we call over-managing. Wagner is coming out.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 05:08 PM

I think Ramon Castro should replace David Wright for ninth-inning defense.

Nymr83 May 14 2006 05:08 PM

its just bad luck. not that he's a great fielder, but if these errors came in the 3rd instead of the 9th nobody would talk about them

Zvon May 14 2006 05:09 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 14 2006 05:11 PM

Elster88 wrote: Is it just nerves? Or is Wright just a bad fielder? if that was to his left or right- he makes the play no problem. Its the ones right to him...i dunno what it is. But i used to play third and Id have to say a lack of concentration. he finds himself with too much time and he thinks---if it was hit harder he would have made it as well.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 05:10 PM

Freakin' Bradford submarines his pickoff throw. Amazin'.

Elster88 May 14 2006 05:11 PM

Zvon May 14 2006 05:16 PM

whew Mets get out of it.

Elster88 May 14 2006 05:16 PM

I think the fact that they DO seem so concentrated in the ninth could be a point in favor of Wright being a good fielder. Maybe he only makes errors in "big" spots, so he actually is an excellent fielder. 'Course, I doubt there will be many subscribers to that idea on this site.

Zvon May 14 2006 05:18 PM

there's no doubt that Wrights a good fielder.

Elster88 May 14 2006 05:18 PM

Eddie C, no matter what you think of him, does have a soothing voice. I wonder if he narrates any books on tape. My first post as Jesse. That's a great avatar. Well done, admins.

Rockin' Doc May 14 2006 05:20 PM

Elster88 - "I think the fact that they DO seem so concentrated in the ninth could be a point in favor of Wright being a good fielder. Maybe he only makes errors in "big" spots, so he actually is an excellent fielder." I find that remark particularly funny, considering you currently carry the designation of Armando Benitez. Nice job of pitching out of the inning by Bradford. Let's get some runs and end this thing.

ScarletKnight41 May 14 2006 05:20 PM

I love Mr. Wright, but I don't think that he's a naturally gifted fielder.

Nymr83 May 14 2006 05:20 PM

And I think their being concentrated in the 9th is why we remember them and comment on them the next time Wright makes an error. Reyes probably has 3 or 4 this year and i can't remember a single one of them, but i have 3 of wright's stuck in my head because of when they came. if reyes made an error tommorow in the 9th i don't think anyone who start calling him error-prone or question his fielding.

Elster88 May 14 2006 05:21 PM

Leave Floyd on the bench. Valentin with his fourth hit. (SC = 99.99)

Zvon May 14 2006 05:21 PM

lead off single---nice. thats 6 for last 7.

Nymr83 May 14 2006 05:21 PM

Valentin decided to have a hot week and save his undeserved roster spot for another month or two

The Big O May 14 2006 05:22 PM

Nady got removed in the double-switch, Floyd batting 9th, Valentin shifts to right. And now he's 4-for-5 on the day.

Rockin' Doc May 14 2006 05:22 PM

Lead off single by Valentin. Come on Cliff. This would be a great time for one of your big Bang-Pow jobs to right field.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 05:22 PM

Valentin:

Zvon May 14 2006 05:23 PM

I have seen too many of Floyds bats breaking the last few weeks. He needs new wood. Ks for the 1st out.

Rockin' Doc May 14 2006 05:23 PM

Then again, apparently not.

Elster88 May 14 2006 05:24 PM

Matsui got his hit for today. Pull him.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 05:25 PM

All whipping boys bringing the lumber. Haven't seen Matsui hitting righty for a bit.

Rockin' Doc May 14 2006 05:27 PM

Damn! Why can't more of the Mets hit like Valentin.

Zvon May 14 2006 05:29 PM

OUCH. Beltran cheats himself with a check swing strikeout. I get your point Nymr83, that they have been errors in the 9th inning of close games. Maybe its the "my worst fear" syndrome, which would be Wrights worst fear, to make an error in that situation. Wright makes the play there for the 1st out of the 10th.

metirish May 14 2006 05:30 PM

Valentin is just amazing...

Zvon May 14 2006 05:30 PM

ohhh..what a play by Valentin... thats big. Throws out Weeks tryin for 2. awsum.

Edgy DC May 14 2006 05:31 PM

How much Schaefer can Valentin drink?

metirish May 14 2006 05:32 PM

Ya think this goes under "WWSB out-manages himself"? You lose in 10 with your best reliever out of the game?

Hillbilly May 14 2006 05:38 PM

No. Yet, Wags should have finished the 9th. This one is on leaving 13 men on base.

DocTee May 14 2006 05:44 PM

This sucks-- heading into a tough part of the schedule too. I have a feeling this will be the 2006 equivalent of that deflating loss vs. Pittsburgh last year. You have to beat the also-rans if you are a serious contender-- the Yankees made a cottage industry out of drubbing Kansas City and Tampa Bay for years; we need to clean house against Washington, Florida and win series from the Milwaukees of the world. This blows.

Rockin' Doc May 14 2006 05:48 PM

I think that Bret has a valid point. You may not like his posting style, but I agree with him that Willie over managed with regards to his bullpen management in the ninth inning.

It was Pedro Feliciano. No joke, went down the hall, heard there was a double switch and made the wrong assumption. Still lack of hitting with men on and bad play in the field were biggest contributors to this loss.
