Tom FREAKING Glavine getting a close call against DEREK JETER!!!!! Johnny Damon read the Yankee lineup before the game started. He nicknamed two guys "The Hitman".

iramets May 19 2007 02:09 PM

Yankeees up 1-0. Almost got out of on a DP ball to Reyes but Posada didn't get doubled up.

Johnny Dickshot May 19 2007 02:19 PM

Too bad. I would have liked to beat this guy for a few more innings. I guess it's Ron Villone time.

metirish May 19 2007 02:20 PM

Rasner done in the first,took a come backer of his pitching hand....Myers in....no outs first and third.

Nymr83 May 19 2007 02:22 PM

the yankee season continues to unravel, lets smack this guy around please.

Johnny Dickshot May 19 2007 02:27 PM

That's cute that Johnny tries to make that throw.

iramets May 19 2007 02:30 PM

Delgado stuck out on a slider that was in Pennsylvania somewhere. He's swinging at such garbage lately. Two down.

Kid Carsey May 19 2007 02:32 PM

Seo: >>>Johnny Damon read the Yankee lineup before the game started.<<< Wright's version was lamer and Damon's was tough to top. Is Damon's wing that cripple or was he just kinda throwing into the pitcher?

Glavine on a few occassions this year has this thing where he gives back what we'd just gotten. Today is not the time to mess with that.

iramets May 19 2007 02:58 PM

A good moment for my sign

iramets May 19 2007 03:02 PM

I hope the Mets can really pile on today, and make the Yankees chew up their bullpen, and do more tomorrow to the other Yankee rookie, leaving Boston with an totally burned out staff for the next series.

Johnny Dickshot May 19 2007 03:04 PM

Pretty harmful CS there

Nymr83 May 19 2007 03:04 PM

i dont like chavez trying to steal there, myers blows and you have the heart of the order up, just let them hit.

Friday's game = 2:18 Today's first 3 innings = 1:29 Glad I took the time in my KTE to say how much better Cano has looked in the field this year. This non-chalant shit is exactly how he looked most of last year but had seemed to put behind him this season.

The Mets send "eye chart" up to pinch hit. That must strike fear into the hearts of Met fans everywhere. Willie will remove Glavine and replace him Schoeneweis. Good outing for Glavine.

Frayed Knot May 19 2007 05:08 PM

Thank you Aaron. And, I suppose I should put in my 594th rendition about why "Clutch" labels are usually bullshit. Had Jeter come up with a hit there it would, of course, been tallied as "just another example" of why he was a money player. The problem is that when the opposite occurs it's ignored as evidence of the contrary.

Edgy DC May 19 2007 05:10 PM

I don't think the angle tomorrow will be that A-Rod never said die no matter how far back they got, but Jeter was a choker. My 6yo nephew wore a bunch of Yankee pins to Dad's funeral. A fellow mourner bent over and pointed at the pins and spelled out how this pin is of the guy who does whatever it takes to win, and this one is of the guy who never hits when it counts. I told him to stop confusing a smart kid.

There was at least one (if not two) times this year where Chavez has been brought in for defense and I had no idea until I saw him make a catch. IIRC, that happened against the Cardinals -- first game of the year -- and later someone called WFAN to yell about Willie not putting in Chavez -- when in fact he had, exactly when the caller said he should have.

If he's chasing the ball also. It's hard to yell that effectively while staying home.

iramets May 19 2007 05:38 PM

That was such a total poochscrewing by Wagner--didn't anyone tell him that he had a 4 run lead, that A-Rod's scoring didn'[t matter at all, that he had bobbled the fucking ball, that he had a choice between a tag play at the plate and a force play at first base? If he'd made a perfect throw, it was a shitty, moronic play.

Nymr83 May 19 2007 05:52 PM

"moronic" isn't even the right word. the only explanation i can think of is that he was trying to protect his miniscule (0.50 entering play today) ERA, and thats a bad bad bad reason to do something.

cooby May 19 2007 06:12 PM

You know you're having a bad day if you make an error by throwing a ball that hits you on your own foot

Rockin' Doc May 19 2007 08:01 PM

I think the Mets should send over a few Schaefers for Cano. After Wright and Chavez, he was probably was the best thing the Mets offense had going for it today.

Johnny Dickshot May 19 2007 08:24 PM

You know, when it's all said and done the double-steal ahead of the Franco error was a big, b-i-g, BIG freakin play. Nearly made up for N.D. getting caught with one out, Beltran up and Reyes on 3rd earlier. If he ever does that again I'm going to love him just a little less than I do now. Which is a lot, don't get me wrong. But that's only a good play if you make it 100% of the time.

Centerfield May 19 2007 08:29 PM

I agree with that. In Endy's defense, up until that point, Posada hadn't demonstrated he could reach second base.

Rockin' Doc May 19 2007 09:14 PM

Well, at least not when throwing anyway.

Edgy DC May 19 2007 10:07 PM

The one who owes Cano some Schaefer is Julio Franco, who gets a hit on that and was in desperate need of a break or two.

Is Damon's wing that cripple or was he just kinda throwing into the pitcher? I liked it. A lot. A team with new names (or new identities): David Wright introduced the Mets batting order on the FOX telecast on Saturday in this way: "Jose Reyes, the most exciting player in the big leagues; Endy 'The Catch' Chavez; Carlos 'Mr. GQ' Beltran; Carlos Delgado, the Puerto Rican Mr. T; Yours Truly (Wright); Shawn 'I miss my hair' Green; Paul Lo Duca, our Eddie Munster; Damion 'Hit Man' Easley; and Tom Glavine, my favorite player when I was in grammar school." Because Wright introduced himself as merely "Yours truly," MLB.com asked Lo Duca to provide something a little more creative -- and sarcastic. His offering was "David 'Dig Me' Wright." Said Lo Duca: "You know he loves himself."

Edgy DC Jun 28 2007 10:57 AM

A bond that can never be broken Bob Burrows River Falls Journal Published Thursday, June 28, 2007 He was born in Brooklyn, not far from Ebbets Field. He was a diehard Brooklyn Dodger fan and celebrated as a teenager when the Dodgers finally defeated the hated New York Yankees to win the 1955 World Series. He grew into a hard throwing lefty at Curtis High School in Staten Island and played amateur baseball while pursuing a degree at New York University. When the Dodgers left Brooklyn after the 1957 season he was heartbroken. When he was 22 he married an Irish girl from Bayonne, N.J. The following year he had a son, and the year after that a new National League baseball team arrived in New York — the Metropolitans. Soon after came a daughter, then another daughter, and another son. He played catch with his oldest son in the backyard, and when the yard became too small he took him to the park where he taught him how to hold a bat and keep his eye on the ball. He bought his son a Mets hat, because no self respecting Brooklyn Dodger fan could ever root for the Yankees. He took him to opening day at Shea Stadium in 1969, where his son became captivated by the sights and sounds of baseball, much like he himself experienced growing up at Ebbets Field. Later that summer his wife died, leaving him with four young children, the oldest son just 8. He leaned on his faith and kept the family together, the whole time also taking care of his late wife’s parents, who lived upstairs. He fell in love again and married an Irish girl from Jersey City. One day he was late showing up for his oldest son’s Little League game. When he got there his son was in the in the on-deck circle. He leaned up against the chain-link fence and said, “Get a hit for your new little sister.” His son stepped to the plate and ripped a stand-up double down the left field line. He smiled from the bleachers and his son beamed back from second base with the biggest grin an 11-year-old ever wore. As the years went by he donned his suit and tie each workday and boarded a train to his job in Manhattan. He tried as best he could to make it to his oldest son’s ballgames, often arriving late after his eight-plus hour workday and hour-each-way commute. When his wife’s father died, he took in his new mother-in-law to live with the family. He gave his brother-in-law a place to stay while he finished college and law school. And he kept taking care of his late wife’s parents until the day they died. He also continued to share his love of sports with his oldest son, taking him to baseball and hockey and football games, and watching golf and horse racing and boxing on television. When his son figured out he could make a career out of getting paid to go to baseball and hockey and football games, he told his son he was proud of him. Last month he and his oldest son watched one last baseball game together. The hated Yankees were playing the beloved Mets. His son sat on the couch while he lay in a hospital bed in the living room, dying. “Who’s winning?” he would ask every now and then. “The Mets,” the son answered, and he would smile and drift back off to sleep. The next day his oldest son had to leave to return to his home 1,000 miles away. They both knew it would be the last time they would see each other. “You’re my favorite person in the whole world,” the son said as he leaned down to give him a hug. “You’re mine too,” he replied. He died June 15, two days before Father’s Day. He was my father. And I am his son.
