I love watching Willis pitch, his SO pitch to Wright was a jem.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 07 2006 07:30 PM

It's never the right time for Lima time.

metirish Jul 07 2006 07:31 PM

Lima is looking very hiitable tonight....

ScarletKnight41 Jul 07 2006 07:34 PM

Ma Nish Ta Nah, Ha Li Lah Ha Zeh, Mi Chol Ha Ley Lot? (Why is this night different from all other nights?) (Said with sarcasm)

The Big O Jul 07 2006 07:48 PM

Willie calls for Lima to bunt with 1 out. A Reyes hit scores two (hopefully). Scratch that -- IBB Reyes. Even the fish know Woody can't hit this year.

TransMonk Jul 07 2006 07:51 PM

This lineup sucks. This is a 2005 lineup. Franco, Woody, Marrero and Castro against one of the top pitchers in the league. Oh, and Lima's pitching. I feel dirty. Two straight innings that the Mets get the leadoff batter to 2nd with no outs but can't score a run.

metirish Jul 07 2006 08:09 PM

2 zip Marlins, bases loaded with no outs.......this could get ugly.

TransMonk Jul 07 2006 08:10 PM

3-0 and counting.

metirish Jul 07 2006 08:11 PM

Willis with a grand slam...WOW

TransMonk Jul 07 2006 08:11 PM

7-0 and counting. Grand slam by Willis. Just retire Lima.

Nymr83 Jul 07 2006 08:12 PM

Willis hits a grand slam. Lima is getting rocked (again) while Aaron Heilman wastes away in the bullpen.

metsmarathon Jul 07 2006 08:12 PM

um, can we bring soler back up...

seawolf17 Jul 07 2006 08:12 PM

You suck, Jose.

This is Danny Garcia: 2nd baseman bad, this is Ty Wiggington at 3rd bad. Well, at least I'm not going back to Kelly Stinnett, regular catcher!

KC Jul 07 2006 08:21 PM

You looked younger in your other pictures. I missed the debacle, but please make Lima go away NOW!!! Jeez, last thing we need is to be using a whole lot of pen with the double-header and a green bean on the mound tomorrow to boot.

seawolf17 Jul 07 2006 08:23 PM

Trade Milledge for Dontrelle Willis NOW!!!!!!

TransMonk Jul 07 2006 08:30 PM

Is anyone else here worried about the Marlins? They are the only team left in the East that has a higher amount of games against us than games they are trailing in the standings...and they have been playing as good if not better ball than us over the past 6 weeks. It just seems to me that Willie and the gang may be taking this series a little lightly.

KC Jul 07 2006 08:36 PM

I'm worried, where's that thread? Hard to tell how a manager or a team is "taking" things like a series though in my opinion.

Starting pitchers are Lima, Maine and Pelfrey...he sits Delgado, Floyd, Valentin and LoDuca againt Willis...I doubt if any of them will play 2 tomorrow...making errors on routine plays. I know some of these are situational, but I would imagine if asked the response would be something like, "having a 12.5 game lead allows us to get our guys some rest."

Edgy DC Jul 07 2006 08:47 PM

Amezaga is not amezzing in center.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2006 08:47 PM

Still early in this one. Ralph compares David Wright's hitting to DiMaggio's. Nady clubs his second double of the night. 1st and 3rd, 2 out for Castro. Do they walk him? No?

KC Jul 07 2006 08:49 PM

I'll give ya Lima TM, other than that most of the other stuff mostly ok from a managing standpoint ... unless you hate Willie.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2006 08:52 PM

Bye Ralph. Dontrelle must be maddening. All that movement and then his arms are so fast, I suspect they really don't pick up the ball in his hand at all. By the time they do, it's released.

TransMonk Jul 07 2006 08:53 PM

I don't...no agenda. I'm not someone who thinks about how bad it can get and then roots for it to happen just to be right. Putting up 3 in the 5th helps.

seawolf17 Jul 07 2006 08:59 PM

Jose... STOP SLIDING INTO FIRST BASE. Dammit.

Oliver is giving his team a chance, he's just great tonight.

metirish Jul 07 2006 09:23 PM

Looks like Henry Owens will pitch tonight, very interesting story.

I think we'll see him tonight, looks like he has a funky pitching motion.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2006 09:28 PM

]I still feel cheated. This would have been a perfect game to give the fans a glimpse of Henry Owens. ?? Game isn't over at my end.

Nymr83 Jul 07 2006 09:34 PM

Owens is coming on! prediction: he strikes out the side and replaces heilman who moves to the rotation. (ok fine its wishful thinking, shutup)

metirish Jul 07 2006 09:34 PM

Holy shit Owens throws hard, Gary tells us Henry had hoped to go to Medical School........he got turned down all the time....

Edgy DC Jul 07 2006 09:34 PM

Great compact motion.

metirish Jul 07 2006 09:36 PM

Damn did I say Owens throws hard...the fans are loving it...

Edgy DC Jul 07 2006 09:40 PM

Hey, he needs a fielder after all.

metirish Jul 07 2006 09:40 PM

Owens has a 1-2-3 inning, congrats to him.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2006 09:43 PM

Let's get him a win.

After the Mets scored three, I thought Willie might think the score was too close to bring in a rookie. I wasn't watching on tv. I didn't know he was warming up. Later

Mets lose but I bet MFS62 is a proud man after seeing his Henry get in the game......

Hit the road Jack and don't come back no more.

Gwreck Jul 07 2006 10:28 PM

Just plain unacceptable. It's not hindsight when everybody SAID that Oliver should start and Lima should be in the 'pen. Not pinch-hitting for Oliver when he was leading off an inning was maddening. Letting Franco hit, even with 2 outs and nobody on in the 9th, was maddening. Jose Reyes sliding into first, was maddening. Got the distinct feeling that Willie wasn't playing to win and the team wasn't playing hard tonight.

Rockin' Doc Jul 07 2006 10:30 PM

Sending Lima to the mound is essentially the same as waiving a white flag in my mind.

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2006 10:53 PM

Re: mailing it in "Starting pitchers are Lima, Maine and Pelfrey..." Not a lot of mystery here, it's is a function of having 3 starters on the DL plus a DH. "he sits Delgado, Floyd, Valentin and LoDuca againt Willis" With 3 games sked inside 25 hours he's sitting the lefty batters against a tough LHP -- and Castro had some good numbers vs Dontrelle. 'Taking things lightly' wasn't the problem. The problems were: - Lima sucking ... but also getting some unlucky hits and ZERO help from his 'D' all at the same time - Very UNtimely hitting on our part: Castro whacks the ball the only time he's up withOUT runners on, same for Woodward; 1st & 2nd/none out in both 1st & 2nd innings and getting nuthin; etc.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2006 11:04 PM

Lima's had one unlucky inning hang him almost every time out. Unfortunately, at this point he pitches with a small enough margin of error that he can't dig his way out of a little bad luck.

Frayed Knot Jul 07 2006 11:40 PM

Owens looked good in his MLB debut inning - although it'll help in the future if he can get his slider at least in the same zip code of the plate. Not gonna get by with a fastball only for very long at this level.

Zvon Jul 07 2006 11:41 PM

I just saw the Willis slam--YOW! (sweet swing tho). Glad Lima lost the yellow hair- thats all I can say about him-besides bye Jose. I saw the Reyes injury- hope he's okay. Ugly game. Lets play two tomorrow!

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2006 11:54 PM

They said Reyes just cut his pinky finger, I'm sure he's gonna be fine. That "compact motion" leaves him somewhere between home and first base after every throw.

Rockin' Doc Jul 08 2006 12:10 AM

In a hurry to cover first base is he? If he can get hitters out with regularity, then I'll bad to see him coming out of the pen. Just how hard was he throwing tonight?

Gwreck Jul 08 2006 12:13 AM

Johnny Dickshot wrote: That "compact motion" leaves him somewhere between home and first base after every throw. Funny, yeah. He doesn't really extend his arm, but squats, drives, and brings it from behind his ear, but his follow-through is something else entirely.
