Bald is beautiful. Go Mets!

Elster88 May 10 2007 07:21 PM

Did you spell Milwaukee that way on purpose?

Edgy DC May 10 2007 08:29 PM

Nabbut, shit, now I got to leave it.

Edgy DC May 10 2007 09:37 PM

I'ma looking to Sosa's bat.

Johnny Dickshot May 11 2007 07:04 AM

Their graphic-heavy series preview got me all excited. I declare this entire weekend a grand occassion to down Brews.

metirish May 11 2007 07:15 AM

I wonder how they feel about Jenkins this season,remembering from last year at their board they wanted him gone....

sharpie May 11 2007 07:27 AM

I'll be in Vegas this weekend. Maybe I'll put a few bux on the Mets.

i like how espn lists Mota in the injury report... Injury Report MILWAUKEE · Corey Hart, RF (Day-To-Day) · Corey Koskie, 3B (15-Day DL) NEW YORK · Guillermo Mota, RP (Out) · Carlos Beltran, CF (Day-To-Day) · Moises Alou, LF (Day-To-Day) · Orlando Hernandez, SP (15-Day DL) Hart should be back this weekend after missing the whole series with Washington, Hernandez is from what i hear getting skipped at least one more time for Sosa.

Isolated thunderstorms for tonight,I'd really like to see the Brewers win their division,kinda like to see long suffering fans have joy for a change,just hope they lose three this weekend. Plus their fans don't seem to be arrogant wankers like the St.Louis fans ,the self proclaimed " best fans in baseball"....mainly because they all wear red at the games......uggh...can't be easy in between the Cubs and Cards...they are between them,right?

Johnny Dickshot May 11 2007 02:02 PM

And if nothing else, it'd be nice if they could win the AL East again.

Rockin' Doc May 11 2007 02:13 PM

JD - "I declare this entire weekend a grand occassion to down Brews." I unfortunately view most weekends as such. No wonder I can't lose weight.

That got me going to Wikipedia...I didn't know that to avoid any conflict of interest with the Brewers moving to the National League MLB first offered the move to the Kansas City Royals,they turned it down,then the Brewers were offered,if they had turned it down then it would have been offered to the Twins..fascinating http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milwaukee_Brewers

Nymr83 May 11 2007 04:39 PM

i like wright 2nd, i'd like to see more of it.

Benjamin Grimm May 11 2007 04:51 PM

Seriously, I'd flip-flop Delgado and Green in the lineup for a while.

Kid Carsey May 11 2007 04:57 PM

Easy to say, tough to do though if you're the guy filling out the lineup card.

Nymr83 May 11 2007 05:19 PM

Weeks CS as LoDuca has been on a role lately. middle of the 1st, no score.

Nymr83 May 11 2007 05:22 PM

Reyes walks, Wright flies out to the opposite field warning track, he's looking better lately Reyes steals 2nd, Beltran pops out, come on Delgado!

Nymr83 May 11 2007 05:40 PM

we're scoreless (and hitless) after 2. anyone else around tonight?

TransMonk May 11 2007 05:44 PM

Friday nights are always kinda slow.

seawolf17 May 11 2007 05:50 PM

Present and accounted for. Game on!

Johnny Dickshot May 11 2007 05:53 PM

I'm around too but dealing with Junior and Wifey and Mexican food. Will be in and out. Out.

Kid Carsey May 11 2007 05:54 PM

I'm around, not a lot to say. The replay on Reyes caught looking shows the ball to be way inside and kinda low. He never really argues or even gets pissed ... looked at blue like he was robbed. Couple of Brewers fans have seemingly registered. If anyone wants to post, please email us at cranepoolforum@gmail.com .

TransMonk May 11 2007 06:03 PM

Sosa impresses me more than I thought he would...so far. I had pretty low expectations, though.

Nymr83 May 11 2007 06:03 PM

Wright goes yard. Bender likes this chick's knockers.

TransMonk May 11 2007 06:03 PM

Bald Wright goes KABOOM! 1-0 Good Guys

seawolf17 May 11 2007 06:05 PM

And Delgado goes KABOOM!

Nymr83 May 11 2007 06:05 PM

KABOOM! Delgado smacks a 2-run shot, thats the offense I remember!

TransMonk May 11 2007 06:06 PM

Carlos and Wright starting to power up! I like that action.

Nymr83 May 11 2007 06:06 PM

Alou doubles off the wall. screw you suppan!

seawolf17 May 11 2007 06:10 PM

I just LOVE rallies. Good times!

TransMonk May 11 2007 06:10 PM

Lo Duca putting on some offense with an RBI as well. Keep it rolling, guys.

Kid Carsey May 11 2007 06:13 PM

Lo Duca creeping back to .300 territory. Seems like just yesterday that ...

Johnny Dickshot May 11 2007 06:19 PM

Nice inning but WTF is WIllie thinking giving them the second out? Just to get Easley to 2nd base? I was at the Cubs-Nationals game @ Wrigley last Saturday where Lou Piniella called the same dumbass play with the same fucktard results. In fact, it was also the pitcher setting up the leadoff guy for the 2nd out. Perhaps a Yankee geneology thing. Now Sosa gives up the run we didn't score, and its closer than it ought be already.

TransMonk May 11 2007 06:20 PM

Jenkins says, "Hey, wait a minute...I thought we were the best team in baseball!" with a HR of his own. 4-1 Good Guys

metsguyinmichigan May 11 2007 06:34 PM

I saw Sosa pitch in a spring training game against Houston and he was ghastly. But we sure can't complain so far.

seawolf17 May 11 2007 06:35 PM

Fielder goes yard. The ball is really flying out of Shea tonight.

TransMonk May 11 2007 06:37 PM

Prince has left the building. He didn't even play Purple Rain. 4-2 Good Guys

TransMonk May 11 2007 06:42 PM

5 pitch inning for Suppan in the 6th. That sucks.

Johnny Dickshot May 11 2007 06:44 PM

If they don't give away their rally in the 4th Soupy may not have even gotten to pitch that 5-pitch inning. And Sosa's got stick too. Why?

seawolf17 May 11 2007 06:47 PM

I don't like Craig Counsell.

Johnny Dickshot May 11 2007 06:58 PM

big hr for easley.

Nymr83 May 11 2007 06:58 PM

Nice outing by Sosa and a big K for Feliciano. Easley homers!

Johnny Dickshot May 11 2007 07:01 PM

Villanueva: First pitcher I've seen wearing No. 12 since Ron Darling. Can you think of another?

Nymr83 May 11 2007 07:09 PM

Hardy hits his 10th of the year, its 5-4 Mets

Nymr83 May 11 2007 07:19 PM

come on Carlos! i think now would be a good time to steal 2nd, it makes it harder for them to shift with a runner there

Johnny Dickshot May 11 2007 07:29 PM

Yay.

Nymr83 May 11 2007 07:30 PM

Mets Win!

Put it in the books! Let's get 'em again tomorrow.

Nymr83 May 11 2007 07:40 PM

this whole weekend is bad pitching matchups for the Mets, its great to take the opener, if we can get a 2nd game that'll be even better.

iramets May 11 2007 07:51 PM

Post-game interview, the Eunuch asks Delgado if he thought about last season's final game vs. Suppan when they were smacking him around tonight. Delgado: "Well, Eddie, I got to be honest, I [u:601a87e32c]was[/u:601a87e32c] thinking about that game tonight." After the interview, the Eunuch couldn't get over it, marvelling that an athlete actually chose to acknowledge the truth, rather than give him the old "No, Eddie, all I was thinking was tonight's game, we have to win them one game at a time, and I was just trying to help my team win...." BS-O-Ra-Ma. It was like Coleman was saying, "I never woulda done it myself, of course..."

metirish May 11 2007 08:33 PM

Amazing insight by Ed....

Gwreck May 11 2007 08:44 PM

Fun game. I totally agree about having Sosa bunt being stupid. It was that much more frustrating after Suppan went 2-0 on him -- two fairly wild pitches -- and then he bunts? Somebody should've given him the take sign, and had him swing away if it got to 2-1. He's got pop -- a sac fly (on a night when the ball was travelling real well -- there was no wind whatsoever) would've scored the run, and he might've gotten a hit too. Sedate crowd for a Friday. Maybe the threat of rain kept people away.

Frayed Knot May 12 2007 05:34 AM

The argument FOR bunting w/Sosa there is that it avoids the GiDP and (pretty much) assures that you'll save Reyes a shot - and have it come with 2 in scoring position. That said, I don't like it either, especially after 2-0 and esp since Sosa's rep is as somewhat of a hitter (at least occasional pop). Let 'im take a hack there and maybe you'll score a run by accident before Reyes even gets to the plate.
