METS!

Elster88 Jun 02 2008 08:04 PM

Heard on the FAN that Church said he's not 100%. Seems like the Mets are living dangerously with this guy.

themetfairy Jun 02 2008 08:22 PM

In a pre-game SNY interview, Reyes' hair was sparkling. What's up with that?

Randy Winns.

The one thing that usually allows Ollie to get away with all those walks is that he kept the ball in the park. Lately he's become HR-happy

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 02 2008 08:36 PM

At this rate I won;t make it to the 3rd inning

Nymr83 Jun 02 2008 08:41 PM

according to baseball reference he's thrown only 58% of his pitches for strikes this year, down from 62% each of the last 2 years (it was 64% for that very good year he had in 2004) for comparison, Maine has been at 63% this year and last, 62 the year before. Santana is at 65% this year, 68, 69 and 70 the last 3 years. throwing strikes is good.

Willets Point Jun 02 2008 08:42 PM

The Mets should've gotten this Durham fellow.

metirish Jun 02 2008 08:42 PM

Fuck this , Bad Ollie , night all.

Vargas warming. God, Perez sucks.

Wagner will blow his lid watching this rubbish.

Nymr83 Jun 02 2008 08:46 PM

he just walked the #8 hitter and Perez will leave the game having recorded ONE out. when pedro comes back we should keep Pelfrey and send Perez down to work on his strike-throwing.

themetfairy Jun 02 2008 08:46 PM

Ollie's night is done after one third of an inning. 6 runs in and a runner he's responsible on base. There's no way to spin this into anything good.

Is Billy preparing a postgame tonguelashing for Ollie as we speak?

Nymr83 Jun 02 2008 08:47 PM

i'm out of here too, i have no problem being sleep deprived for a baseball game, but i wont do it for Giants' batting practice.

Centerfield Jun 02 2008 08:48 PM

Fuck Perez. Can he leave now as a free agent?

Wonder if Perez doesn't wind up on the DL and we delay the whole Pelfrey-or-Vargas decision for a few weeks. I mean, what is the excuse otherwise.

Fman99 Jun 02 2008 08:52 PM

Maybe, although given the use of Vargas in long relief tonight sure seems to signal a ticket back to Norfolk for Muniz.

The chipping away has begun. 6-1.

Willets Point Jun 02 2008 08:59 PM

Jose brings us within 5! Here comes the comeback!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 02 2008 08:59 PM

Reyes looks great at the plate recently. He's right on everything and not overdoing it.

Frayed Knot Jun 02 2008 09:00 PM

Q of the Day: Ramon Castro and Benjie Molina have a foot race with a pregnant woman. Will the final results have Castro 3rd and Molina 4th or the other way around?

Willets Point Jun 02 2008 09:01 PM

Randy Winns again.

Is suckage a legitimate reason to DL Ollie?

Do you think he did that on purpose? I don't think he did it on purpose. I think Perez has way to much talent to pitch as badly as he does. Physical talent will only take you so far...eventually you have to learn how to pitch. I believe that is the difference btween Perez being an ace and Perez being Perez.

Fman99 Jun 02 2008 09:08 PM

A dart by Castro to throw out the would-be stealer. Nicely done.

metirish Jun 02 2008 09:10 PM

Well it's not like Ollie can go to the bullpen so we take the bad with the good , maybe the flight did his head in.

Gwreck Jun 02 2008 09:10 PM

Time for us to chip away a little more. This game is totally winnable.

Rockin' Doc wrote: Is suckage a legitimate reason to DL Ollie? If that's a serious question (and I suspect it isn't) the answer is no. Teams do occasionally get away with telling players (rookies mostly) to accept a DL slot and to tell anyone who asks that you sprained your upper left McGoogle joint. But it is against various rules to do that and players can challenge the club if they think they're being railroaded and a vet like Perez would probably do just that. Besides, you can't play in minor league games while DL'd which kinda would defeat the whole purpose in this case.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 02 2008 09:13 PM

Fman99 Jun 02 2008 09:19 PM

These Mets don't seem to be picking up Sanchez' pitches very well in this inning. Nice - Tatis sneaks on as the SS hesitates and double clutches. The inning continues.

Fman99 Jun 02 2008 09:20 PM

... until Delgado pops up the first pitch. Dang.

Fman99 Jun 02 2008 09:23 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 02 2008 09:24 PM

WOW. Church pegs Durham trying to stretch a single into a double. He's got a cannon out there.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 02 2008 09:24 PM

I like Ray Durham but he's old.

Willets Point Jun 02 2008 09:24 PM

Dayum...maybe it's good we didn't get Durham.

Frayed Knot Jun 02 2008 09:25 PM

Church woke up this morning and got himself a gun

Church = leading the league in outfield assists. I think. Edit: Church has 6 now. Xavier Nady has 7.

] but it might take 2 singles to get Ramon in. Apparently not. Good job Castillo. Keep chipping...

Fman99 Jun 02 2008 09:31 PM

Har... they just showed the puny plaque commemorating Bonds #756*. That sign isn't even as big as Bonds' head. Classic.

I'm not the most knowledgeable poster when it comes to roster moves, but I did know that Perez's poor performance wasn't an acceptable reason for placing him on the DL. I was just doing some wishful thinking. I just tried to played off Transmonk's desire to DL Perez for "being a dumb-ass." Unfortunately, I believe the Mets are stuck with Ollie's inconsistent, all or nothing performance for the duration of his contract. Perez certainly isn't enhancing his market value in his walk year.

Frayed Knot Jun 02 2008 09:33 PM

Speed -- there is no substitute

Fman99 Jun 02 2008 09:34 PM

WOO HOO! Castro scores from 2nd on an RBI single by Castillo, despite carrying a piano on his back the last 50 feet.

Rockin' Doc Jun 02 2008 09:36 PM

99 - "Castro scores from 2nd on an RBI single by Castillo, despite carrying a piano on his back the last 50 feet." I was afraid he might stop to play it before reaching home.

8 runners left on through 4 innings for the Mets.

Would be a nice time to hit one out here, Ramon.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 02 2008 09:54 PM

I shall turn into a pumpkin in 3 outs and have tired of posting photos illustrating chips, so just do it NOW

This game sucks enough to deserve the Joanie Loves Chachi Theme Song:

AG/DC Jun 02 2008 10:32 PM

A sac fly with Benjie Molina on third? You've got to contest that. But we do not.

AG/DC Jun 02 2008 10:35 PM

Muniz left out to dry on his last day in the bigs.

AG/DC Jun 02 2008 10:41 PM

Aaron gets a big out as a Paul McCartney lookalike shows up on Joanie Loves Chachi.

Willets Point Jun 02 2008 10:50 PM

If suck is like salt, I hope this game empties out the shaker.

AG/DC Jun 02 2008 10:51 PM

Infield in down 10-2 in the ninth. Art Howe specialty. But Heilman gets the K. One out.

AG/DC Jun 02 2008 10:56 PM

O'Really-yeah (it's Irish Heritiage night) pops and there are two away.

AG/DC Jun 02 2008 10:58 PM

Brillaint. Positive outing (relatively) for Heilman. Giant booth described him as having been "incredibly consistent."

Willets Point Jun 02 2008 11:02 PM

The Mets really have their work cut our for them to rally from 8 runs down in the 9th with 2 outs. It all starts with Wright.

Willets Point Jun 02 2008 11:02 PM

And it ends with Wright.

AG/DC Jun 02 2008 11:02 PM

Time's up.

Willets Point Jun 02 2008 11:05 PM

All the suck they brought for the West Coast trip they left on the field tonight. It gets better tomorrow. Uh, later today.

G-Fafif Jun 03 2008 04:45 AM

Was last night the first time Carlos Muniz's uniform carried a tilde, thus making his last name MUŅIZ even though it continues to be pronounced Myoo-neez (and even though it will be pronounced at New Orleans for a while)?

DocTee Jun 03 2008 09:43 AM

An embarrassing loss, and I had to hear it from five colleagues who attended the game with me. On the plus side, we had killer seats and excellent food. Silver lining: if we need Ollie out of the pen, he's plenty rested.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 03 2008 09:56 AM

My patience with Perez is getting wafer thin. Is there any way we can trade him for Kaz Ishii?
