i believe that should read: Twins SQUEAK by Mets 2-1 thanks to current bum Kazuo Matsui


yea... it was really worth moving reyes... who's still yet to friggin play... to second base to bring in this stellar defensive shortstop from japan, who just happens to be leading the league in errors by a shortstop with 12. and chiz wanted to trade me matsui for roy halladay, claiming that i'd be sorry when kaz turned into the next ichiro.

and i'm not ignoring... i'm just preoccupied with the NBA right now. my focus will turn soley to baseball by the end of the week.... but i will make sure to post durring the Mets-Twins sereis, just for you Zoney

 

[zoney!]

Twins 5
Mets 3

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

just shut up

 

[zoney!]

there there two games do not make a season.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

they're too damn inconsistant... even though we could always use another pitcher... screw freddy garcia. go get carols beltran. piazza needs some help.

(should've gotten friggin vlad when we had the chance )

 

[pub crawler]

Ah well, Aaron Sele is given a spot in the halos' rotation about a month into the season, pitches 5 strong starts and then today goes on the DL with shoulder fatigue.

Total days on DL for halo players thus far this season: 250

ahhh life as a mets fan...

mike piazza is moved to first base because he's allegedly such a bad defensive catcher (reality is he's just a really bad thrower, the rest of his game is actually pretty good). so piazza goes to first base, where he obviously has made some bonehead plays... having never played the position, you can't really blame him. so then the mets platoon jason phillips and vance wilson behind the plate, because of their superior defensive skills.

so we advance to yesterday's game against the kansas city royals... who have been absolutely horrendous. bottom of the 9th, tie game, winning run attempting to score, vance wilson blocks the plate, applys the tag, and the runner is...

safe?!?!! what the hell?!?! he clearly blocked the plate, and the tag was clearly on time! vance is furious, yelling at the umpire, complaining to the press afterwords that wilton guerrero was clearly out and the tag was clearly on time. so let's look again at that first picture...

there's a saying in the coaching world... "the tape never lies." so before you come up with some BS excuse as to why you didn't make a play, you better make damn sure that you're right. if you're not, just say nothing at all. so that being said, upon further inspection of the first picture, one can clearly see vance wilson doing something that he was told not to do since t-ball games in the 2nd grade. if you're going to tag someone with your glove...

... it helps to have the ball in said glove.

got some free tickets to the mets-indians game last night... original seats were by home plate, first base side, 15 rows back... after an hour and a half rain delay, we improved our seating just a bit...

... not too shabby, eh?


ty wiggington talked to us for a little while... karim garcia enjoyed my "you kicked that guy in boston's ass karim" comment... also got a chuckle out of todd zeile and mike cameron, a wave from art howe... but piazza wouldn't budge, even when i started breakin' out roger clemens jokes.. no reaction.

 

[zoney!]

it would be a better seat if that damn player wasn't standing in your way!

 

[popacrobat]

Always fun to get some reaction out of the players when you sit close enough. I remember a game April of 95, just after the strike was settled, Sox had sold all April tix (there were like 4 dates left) for 1/2 price and most season tix holders had turned theirs back in for a refund, scored seats right by 3rd base for 10 bucks apiece. Robin Ventura was playing 3rd for the opposition Chisox, had made an error in each of the first 3 games of the season prior, so myself, my buddy and a few others in the section were chiding him all game long, calling him "Ace Ventura" (I know real original) and so forth, till in the 7th, he threw one way...our section went bonkers and he just hung his head in shame.
Also yelled something at James Baldwin as he was returning to visitors dugout after pitching an inning and we saw him start cracking up as he walked down the dugout steps.

2004 world series... mets vs. devil rays

[reality]

 

[Hewson]

The sad thing about the N.L. (L)East is that if the Mutts extend their win to streak to 12 like the D-Rays current streak(which will end tonite), they'll be the division leader and a possible playoff team.
Of course the Mutts won't win 7 more in a row.

they have the pitching to pull it off... they lead the majors in ERA... at the all star break we'll be able to tell if the mets are really contenders in the mediocre at best NL east, or if they're just pretenders...

their upcomming schedule
Reds, Reds, @ Yankees, @ Yankees, @ Yankees, @ Reds, @ Reds, @ Reds, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, @ Philly, @ Philly, @ Philly, @ Philly, @ Florida @ Florida @ Florida

18 tough ass games till the break... if they can go .500 or better through this stretch, then they're for real... below .500, then they're not.

 

[Hewson]

If they go .500, they have a legit shot at that division, cause there is no powerhouse team by any means in the NL east.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

art howe used all his players durring the first 9 innings... so right now, pinch hitting in the bottom of the 11th for the mets...
