I will be behind the plate between it and the Mets dugout and sure to attempt to start some Lets Go Mets chants! Look for me I will be decked out in Mets gear, though I haven't decided if I'm going with the black jersey or the 87 Road jersey yet, always bet on black!
I will do my all to instill the confidence back in DW.
Can't wait to catch BP!
All the years of people taking potshots at my boys in the bars in Lodo, I look forward to what nonsense they have for me this year.
No.
Let's see . . . what's our track record like with corpulent former Red Sox? Not good.
Pass.
That's way too speculative to be worth it.
I am not in any way, shape, or form scared of David Wells. Any team wants to pick him up to face the Mets, go right ahead. Jose Reyes will bunt him into oblivion, Carlos Beltran, David Wright, and Jose Valentin will pound him into retirement, and Carlos Delgado and Shawn Green will remind him that the platoon advantage doesn't help when you're overmatched, overage, and overdone.
Bring the fat slob on.
It's not nice to make fun of fat people.
And this has what, exactly, to do with David Wells?
I hate to tell you this, Matt, but the league took over the Mets after it was announced that Steve Trachsel would be starting Game 1 of the NLDS. They're not allowed to call up anybody on Friday.
Minaya seems perfectly willing to rush players through the minors and doesn't mind if they struggle at the new level. Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, Fernando Martinez, Pelfrey, etc.
Jesus Flores went 3-3 with 2 homers. He is hitting .262/.330/.474 with 19 homers and 31 doubles in 416 ABs. That's a lot of power for a catcher but he has struck out 123 times this season with only 26 walks. He gets hit by a ton of pitches, 18 already this season.
So he is eligible for Arizona fall league. Not sure if that's true, but Ir ead it somewhere
Let's not make judgments at the nadir of Wright's worst stretch of the season. It's awfully easy to have perceptions overly influenced by the most recent stretch of games, which are decidedly NOT typical of Wright as a hitter. Remember where Wright's numbers were at the ASB; that hitter -- which is the hitter I still believe Wright is -- is still a better player than Reyes.
Idiot. He asked where would the Phillies be without him. A: The same place they are now: Out of the play-offs. So even if you're going to use that criteria, Howard loses.
Which is a stupid argument anyway . . . .
Let's not make judgments at the nadir of Wright's worst stretch of the season.
Agreed. Let's just enjoy the fact that Reyes rocks. Also, let's not get anywhere near David Wells. Take on David Wells to prevent the Pads from getting him? This isn't Roy Halladay we're talking about here; it's David F-ing Wells. I hope our competitors trade for him.
Hey - that's not an excuse. I had a kid less than four weeks ago and I still check in.
But I'm going to be in Bora Bora! Realistically though, if I can find the internet, I'll log on to be mean to levski.
Congrats Rob, have fun.
Thanks. Actually, I think this means the fun's over, technically. :-)
.334/.382/.552, 34/6 SB/CS, 15 2b, 11 homers, 10 triples, and 69 runs in 70 games.
The amazing thing about that stretch is that it includes an underwhelming July (.739 OPS).
It is scary how good he can be.
Levski's the best man, I assume?
So you think Wright's advantage offensively, taking into account his poor defense, is enough to outweigh Reyes' all-around game? Reyes is a +10 on defense, Wright is a -10.
Assuming the advantage is truly what Wright was doing at the ASB, then yes -- that outweighs the defensive advantage Reyes has. But Reyes's advancement has certainly made him an elite player, in Wright's class, far faster than I ever believed would happen. That's been amazing.
Matsui producing like this against us is getting annoying.
Levski's the best man, I assume?
Chris Dial is signing the ketubah.
Well, I do that because it's Wright pre-ASB, validated by it being consistent with what he did in 2005 as well.
Trachsel is driving me a little crazy here . . . .
No doubt, Reyes has had a better season to this point than Wright. Still, Wright's D has been better of late and he's got a nice run left in him this year.
I'm 14 months in and can say so far so good. Don't believe the critics.
And of course this ignores that Utley is better than Howard.
But back in time for the playoffs. Well played.
It shouldn't, but it does surprise me that Islam and Judaism have so much in common. Islam not only has a similar thing to the ketubah, it is called the ketab.

Well, hebrew and arabic are certainly close cousins.

damn right.
I'll say Shawn Estes.
Both are small guys.
Both have thrown a lot of innings in their career before 30.
Both have seen a severe decline in their strikeout rate.
Pedro (20), Glavine (26), Trachsel (27), Zambrano (5), Bannister (6): Total = 84/131
So the Mets have had 47 starts from other pitchers, including:
El Duque 15
Maine 10
Soler 8
Pelfrey 4
Wow.
That is interesting, but seriously who emails someone for the answer to that question? Does he not know how the internet works?
Damn, just missed it.
I didn't list them all -- I left out Gonzalez and Williams, as well as Perez. I just gave a few of the ones who'd taken some of the 47.
Lima? ;-)
