KTE - Everybody's Getting High

seawolf17 Jul 26 2005 01:09 PM

METS AT ROCKIES, July 25-27, 2005 Everybody's High, Some Around Twelve Inches Higher Than The Others Monday: Tom Glavine vs Jose Acevedo Tuesday: Kaz Ishii (3-8, 5.15) vs Jeff Francis (8-7, 5.57) Francis has been much better at home (6-2, 4.09) than on the road (2-5, 6.94). Plus, despite a two-start week, I didn't put him in my fantasy starting lineup this week. Combine that with Kaz Ishii "Really Going Out With Him" on the mound for the fan favorites, this one could be ugly. Francis has never faced the Mets. Wednesday: Vagina Boy (4-9, 3.86) vs Jamey Wright (5-10, 5.30) Wright is as mediocre as pitchers can be, and is far worse at home (.358 BAA) than on the road. Hopefully he can help the bats wake up. Cliff Floyd is 3-13 career against Wright with 2 HRs; as a whole, however, active Mets have just 13 hits in 86 AB against him. Jamey Wright has never faced David Wright. Who's Hot? Todd Helton is starting to wake up, going 11-38 on the Rox' recent road trip. Matt Holliday has been hitting since coming off the DL, going 7-19 in his last five. Who's Not? Rookie 3B Garrett Atkins went 6-32 on the trip. Eric Byrnes is 7-40 since joining the club. Familiar Faces Mike DeJean Desi Relaford Clint Hurdle, Manager Bob Apodaca, Pitching Coach Interesting Notes The Rockies have a winning record at home (25-23 after last night's W), but have the worst road record (10-40) since the 1979 Oakland A's. There have been only 102 HRs hit at Coors Field in 2005, which places it 13th among all Major League parks. Anderson Machado made his major league debut the other day, becoming the 16th Rockie rookie this year. That's more than any other club. How bad is the NL West? Since June 1, the Rocks have the best record in the division... at 20-28. Rockies pitchers lead the NL in walks, wild pitches, and hit batters; Rockies fielders lead the league in errors. On the DL Clint Barmes, injured carrying meat up the stairs Aaron Cook, rehabbing from surgery to clear blood clots in his lungs Todd Greene and Brad Hawpe, rehabbing from strained hammies Jason Jennings, fractured middle finger All-Time Mets/Rockies Team: C Jim Tatum 1B Todd Zeile 2B Aaron Ledesma 3B Howard Johnson SS Kurt Abbott OF Jay Payton OF Preston Wilson OF Jeromy Burnitz PH Lenny Harris OF Benny Agbayani OF Brian McRae OF Darryl Hamilton IF Butch Huskey SP Shawn Estes SP Mike Hampton SP Pedro Astacio SP Brian Bohanon SP Bret Saberhagen RP Juan Acevedo RP Steve Reed RP Stoner Corey RP Mike DeJean RP Kane Davis BERP Brent Mayne LOOGY Bobby Jones CL Jerry DiPoto

]Who's Hot? Todd Helton is starting to wake up, going 11-38 on the Rox' recent road trip. And he's now cold. I just heard on WFAN that Helton was injured in last night's game, and will miss the next few games. Later

I have to admit, deJean's sinker seemed mean last night.

I tried to write this as though it were yesterday (other than seeing no point in previewing last night's game).

The nerve of that friggin guy. He was an absolute punching bag for the Mets this season. I suppose it's possible he needed more work to recover following his broken leg, but I'm just chalking it up the relief pitching being a complete crapshoot providing few good explanations for anything. He did the same shit to the O's last year. For us: 6.31 ERA For them: 1.17 ERA

DeJean giveth and DeJean taketh away.

Nice job seawolf. But you left someone off the All Time Mets/Rockies team. Granted, he didn't spend that much time in Colorado before winding up on the DL last season. But if Kane Davis is worthy of mention, then Turk Wendell certainly belongs on the list.

Edgy DC Jul 26 2005 02:58 PM

Daryl Boston, Chris Jones, Armando Reynoso... A long list for a young team.

Crap. I meant to replace Davis with Wendell. My bad. I left Boston, Reynoso, and Jones off because we had too many OFs and too many Ps.
