i'm going to the phils mets game september 6th. anyone else joining me?

it was the greatest month of my life and i really dont care how anyone else looks at it or how it is talked about through the media.

i'm not so sold a 45 year old who hasnt faced a MLB pitcher in a year can make an immediate impact. even bonds

ya i'm not sure what happens if they sign two grade a free agents like CC and manny or tex.

they may lose that pick when they sign CC

he's a U guy. he'll hot dog and be cocky but it'll be easier to swallow if he flies around on sundays like he has been at practice.

off the top of my head i remember him lacing a couple of balls over the second basemen's head, and one ripped over first base hit so hard he turned it into a triple. this isnt scott rolen. it's not surprising he had trouble pulling early in his career because typically the better younger hitters go the other way more often in the early parts of the career and pull more when they get more comftorable (i remember keith said this when talking about wright). except rolen kind of has that david eckstein stance where he's so crowded over the inside he'd have a tougher time getting the swing through to pull it because he couldn't catch up to the major league baseball. that's probably why they sent him to the minors and adjust his swing swightly so he could be quicker on the inside pitch. murphy doesn't crowd himself over the plate nearly as much and is going the other way because that's where teams are pitching him and he knows how to hit them. i'm not a batting instructor but that's my two cents on this.

their pen is more worn out than ours. and to say this type of game was needed was an understatement. go brian stokes!

when's it coming out on DVD?

a few nights ago CC threw a CG shutout against these same nats.

who cares at this point. its all gonna come down to the last 3 weeks and maybe we can do what the phils did last year (magically have our godawful pen turn around). if not then its football season and there'll be plenty of changes.

whoever wins the east is playing the cubbies or brewers in the first round. or the cards.

i know it's an easy pass but how many times has eli thrown a wobbler at the receiver's feet that wouldnt have allowed him to gain the extra yardage? it was a bullet in the clutchest of all spots so gotta give E some cred too.

the man has some serious football speed.

lorf maybe you missed a sign but wouldnt that mean if a pitcher went 6 and gave up 3 runs his ERA for the day would be 1?

he's at the olympics. the lions o-line was going after our players knees like crazy.

seriously what a shame. he was such a stud for us the first couple of months. this is just a shitty break that has defined the mets over the years...

i was actually thinking about that tonight and i wondered how the fuck someone can strike out looking in game 7 with the WS on the line. how often has that happened.

i'll never forget when the 9ers guy fair catched the ball at our 45 and took a step forward because he had momentum but then dhani jones took it upon himself to carry the guy three yards backwards for a 15 yard penalty. what a fucked up game. and maybe the reason we have eli...

i dont think carlos got the letter.

C.C. hasn't made things any easier for johan. i've defended johan all year and i'll probably continue to but he's set the standard for exactly what an impact ace should do when he goes to the NL...

yeah and thank god we lost in the 10th otherwise our pen wouldve been burnt out again. kunz just got called up

you think we would have the guts to call up niese for the pen in the upcoming months?

kunz will most likely be our closer if we look in house

then we should trade his ass. billys never won shit in his career and if he really wants a ring then he'd realize that he is not cut out to be a closer on a championship team and signing K-rod would be a huge step in the right direction. he openly said 09 is his last year the last thing we need is him to be holding us back from getting one of the REAL best closers in baseball.
