Plus Castillo.

I do too. "It's only one game", but when your 150 million dollar ace is going I figure it's important to win the series and avoid the split.
|

Maybe there'll be a transaction or two after the game and a couple of fresh bodies to meet them on the coast.

No offense to ol' penis-nose over in the other dugout but I hope to see the Mets thrash these stupid Dodgers tonight. Good to see Church back in the lineup.

Remeber that Verducci article where he said the umps got a total of four calls wrong at first for an entire year? The day after I read that article was the Washington game that had four blown calls at first. Since then it feels like I've seen three games where there HASN'T been a blown call at first.

For NO, Chris Aguila has two homers tonight. He's a righty OF with 14 HRs this year. How about calling him up and sending Evans down?

Church gave it a ride!

Church with a lazy pop fly in his first at-bat back. Got to the track but he kinda hit it straight up.
|
| Rockin' Doc Jun 01 2008 06:50 PM |

Nice to see Church back in the line up. The team could really use his bat.
|

Damn close! Wright earned that Gold Glove, screw Chipper.

Great barehand play and throw by Wright, but Kemp just beats it out for a single.

Nice play by Kemp to close the gap and Reyes is held to a double.

Drive him in Mr Wright!!!
|
| Rockin' Doc Jun 01 2008 07:07 PM |

Reyes was rather fortunate that the pick off throw to second by Kurida was in the dirt. The SS snuck in behind Reyes and Reyes was pretty late breaking back.

Fantasy baseball question for the group: I have Delgado. I got him in the 20th round of my 12 team mixed 5 X 5. I'm in 6th. Jay Bruce is a FA. As much as it pains me to drop a Met, I'm going to put in for Bruce. Does anybody disagree w/this move?
|
| metsguyinmichigan Jun 01 2008 07:17 PM |
|
|
Nope. They were talking about the Rays being in first place, and Joe went into the "Kazmir used to be on the Mets (which of course isn't technically true, was he ever called up?) saying that the team thought it could make a run and moved him. Then he said, "Of course that was the previous GM who made that deal."

Santana's really been fine all night -- I'll take 1 run over 7 anytime.

| Zvon Jun 01 2008 08:28 PM |

I like Miller. I really do. And once I got past the fact that he views everything with the exuberance of a child I began to enjoy listening to him. He also must have the patience of a saint to work the booth with Morgan. Every once in a while I will hear him throw in a zinger towards Joe, but he does it with such panache that Joe doesn't even realize its a zinger. But mostly he knows he has a job to do, and its along side Morgan, and he makes the best of it and shows me he's a team player. I like him. And welcome aboard VCF. Nice to meetchya.

Would be really nice to see this lineup w/a healthy Church/Alou/Castillo for a sustained time added to the regular mix. Paticularly with a hotter Reyes leading it all off.

|
| Frayed Knot Jun 01 2008 08:44 PM |

So he leaves with 1 run (plus two runners) on 6 hits - 5 of them singles and even the double (Pierre leading off the game) was nothing more than a well-placed bouncer - and two? walks thru 7-2/3.

I wonder how much of it is Show stepping up, and how much is it Willie using him against a higher percentage of lefties this year. But yeah, Show's been pretty awesome.

It's NOT JOE FUCKING TORRE. It's the Dodgers, it's the first weekend of the summer, it's a million things. You see Joe Fucking Torre shirts in the crowd? Yankee hats? NO. You see Mets hats, and Keith Fucking Hernandez shirts, and Russ Martin shirts for the Dodger fans, and Ricky Fucking Otero shirts. (Yes, I saw one yesterday afternoon.) Those are Mets fans, Jon & Joe. Mets fans. I know... stunning! Mets fans?!? In New York!?! But this is Yankee Country! These must all be Joe Torre fans! It has nothing at all to do with the last year of the ballpark, or Johan Santana pitching, or the fact that the team has won 4 out of 5, or because we all have man-crushes on David Wright. It's all Joe Fucking Torre.

My loudmouth future ex-brother-in-law: Youse at da Met game? You see Torre? Me: Yeah, he came out to change pitchers and I dropped my pants and started wanking right then and there. I was a little embarassed for myself, but then I looked around and everybody was doing it. I wish my sister would hurry up and marry him so she could get on with divorcing him.

Is he a MFY fan, or just a causal baseball observer, or not even a big baseball observer at all and just knew Torre is now managing in LA and that the Mets were playing LA and/or that Torre was back in town (hard to escape with coverage in papers)? That does sound more like something someone who isn't that big of a baseball fan would say.
|
| Frayed Knot Jun 02 2008 06:56 AM |

I'd be surprised if attendance for LAD games differed much from the overall norm at this point. They did in the early days of the Mets (as did the Giants) when there were still plenty of NYers who either missed 'em or hissed 'em. But now that they're gone over half-a-century I suspect most of either emotion has died out and attendance for them is nothing special and simply varies along with the normal conditions of weather, time, standings, etc.

I was in the Soupcan Section Friday night, just a few boxes behind the Mets on-deck circle but we were unimpressed with the service from our personal handjobber, who was schmoozing with half the people and ignoring the other half. Didn't matter. The corned beef sandwhich stand was an easy get behind us. Quality Shea food, but $12.50 or something. Actor Oliver Platt, who played Steinbrenner in Bronx is Burning, was sitting one section over. He was decked out in black jersey/black hat with his son (?) also in uniform.

That may be so, but Show's 07 platoon split numbers weren't too far off his career splits. 2007 BA / OBP / SLG: Vs RHB: .316 / .390 / .574 Vs LHB: .204 / .308 / .247 Career BA / OBP / SLG: Vs RHB: .292 / .364 / .465 Vs LHB: .224 / .299 / .292 So, he wasn't really THAT much off his career numbers last year. I think his failure was due more to misuse than anything else.

yes, schoenweis can be an effective lefty specilaist, but the mets clearly didnt see him in that role when they gave him a 3 year multi million dollar deal.

Using the word clearly in this manner rings an alarm. It usually implies there is supposition and guesswork, not evidence.
