Game Chatter
— Where Thinking Fans Discuss Today's Games

Friday, May 19, 2006

NY Yankees 23-16 at NY Mets 24-16 - 7:10pm ET

NYY: R. Johnson (5-4, 5.13) vs. NYM: J. Gonzalez (0-0, 5.40)

The Big Useless against the Junior Varsity. While the thought of a crippled Randy Johnson having to bat scared me at first, I remember now that he will be knocked out of the game before his spot in the batting order comes up, so it’s no longer a concern.

201. AJM Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:13 PM (#2027811)

This back end of the rotation is gonna make me do something crazy.

Didn't you have a plan to kidnap Lima? I'd go for it.

202. Banta Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:13 PM (#2027812)

I'm in favor of any plan that gets these two jokers out of the rotation. ANY PLAN. It's making me so sick, I'm completely flexible.

203. Rickroll the Mets (OFF) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:14 PM (#2027813)

Howie says Mets are looking to replace Lima before his next start.

I hope so. Did he say with whom? Soler's gotta be the guy, no? Or are they thinking trade?

204. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:14 PM (#2027814)

That was a big out.

205. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:16 PM (#2027820)

Reyes is hurt. Something with his fingers. They are taping them right now.

Victorino with a solo shot, 3-1 Boston.

206. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:16 PM (#2027821)

Howie says Mets are looking to replace Lima before his next start.
It's reassuring to know that the Mets organization is 2 two steps behind their fans, as usual.

207. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:16 PM (#2027822)

Lima and Gonzalez are positively awful, but I wouldn't put a lot of stock in Soler.

208. J. Cross Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:18 PM (#2027827)

If Willie gets Gonzalez out of here now we still have a chance of winning this game and should consider ourselves lucky.

209. Banta Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:18 PM (#2027828)

Didn't you have a plan to kidnap Lima? I'd go for it.

I think I've just been waiting for approval. And an alibi. But the more time passes, the less I care about either of those.

As a Met fan, do I not have a right, or dare I say, a DUTY to kidnap Jose Lima and hide him far, far away from the team?

210. Cutter Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:19 PM (#2027829)

1-2-3 inning? That would be a shocker.

211. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:19 PM (#2027830)

Lima and Gonzalez are positively awful, but I wouldn't put a lot of stock in Soler.

I dunno, Soler's done better in the minors that I thought he would. And he's been getting positive reviews from Baseball America and other minor league sources. Certainly a better option than Gonzo and L*)#*)@a

212. Rickroll the Mets (OFF) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:19 PM (#2027831)

You know, I was against moving Heilman to the rotation. But we are going to need a 3rd start eventually, and he's the only guy in the organization who can be that guy. Pedro, Glavine, Heilman, Trachsel, Soler/Bannister doesn't sound too bad. I'm guessing acquiring a decent reliever will be easier than acquiring a #3 starter.

213. Banta Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:19 PM (#2027832)

Didn't you have a plan to kidnap Lima? I'd go for it.

214. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:19 PM (#2027833)

If Willie gets Gonzalez out of here now we still have a chance of winning this game and should consider ourselves lucky.

He won't. He'll wait after Giambi and A-Rod go back-to-back.

215. Banta Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:20 PM (#2027836)

That double post wasn't my fault. I blame this chatter.

216. Jamaican Sprinting Prowess (NJ in NY) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:20 PM (#2027837)

Wow...Xavier Nady comes out to Chamillionaire.

217. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:20 PM (#2027838)

X GONNA GIVE IT TO YA!

218. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:20 PM (#2027839)

He'll wait until, that is. NADY!

219. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:20 PM (#2027840)

X!!!!!!

220. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:20 PM (#2027841)

David should be able to absolutely mash the BU.

221. AJM Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:20 PM (#2027842)

X-MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

222. Cutter Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:21 PM (#2027845)

I HATE YOU RANDY JOHNSON. PLEASE STOP PITCHING. PLEASE GO AWAY.

223. Antigonos Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:21 PM (#2027846)

bleh

224. Rickroll the Mets (OFF) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:21 PM (#2027847)

XXX!!!!!!!!!!!

225. Banta Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:21 PM (#2027848)

YEAH, NADY

226. Jamaican Sprinting Prowess (NJ in NY) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:21 PM (#2027849)

You know what...I'm as big a Melky backer as anyone, but I don't like the way he pursued that one, he should have had it.

227. yl_adam Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:21 PM (#2027851)

I guess Posada must still be calling the game from the dugout.

228. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:21 PM (#2027852)

Nady is a sweet lefty-masher.

229. J. Cross Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:21 PM (#2027853)

Howie says Mets are looking to replace Lima before his next start.

The Mets have been having internal discussion about sending Mike Pelfrey to Tampa Bay for Casey Fossum who they believe is very close to putting it all together and harnessing his great stuff.

230. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:22 PM (#2027855)

I felt that homer coming.

231. Chris Dial Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:23 PM (#2027859)

Got to love that. Brand new ball game.

232. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:24 PM (#2027861)

you know, at this point, I feel a bit sorry for Johnson.
He looks like he feels genuinely bad about it..

sigh. The Mets got this now, their bullpen has way more depth

233. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:24 PM (#2027862)

If Gonzalez puts a runner on, he needs to be removed immediately.

234. Chris Dial Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:25 PM (#2027863)

Pitching lines are nice - each clown has thrown 63-64 pitches allowing 5 runs.

235. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:25 PM (#2027864)

Nady is a sweet lefty-masher.

Yep, he must be one of the best in baseball at hitting lefties.

Matsui still stinks.

236. Rickroll the Mets (OFF) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:25 PM (#2027865)

Did Omar sound definitive about making the move before Lima's next start? I read he said he hadn't given up on him yet today. Hopefully, he changed his mind.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Take Gonzalez out!!!!!!!!!!

237. J. Cross Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:26 PM (#2027866)

He won't. He'll wait after Giambi and A-Rod go back-to-back.

Good god, you're right. I really thought he'd have the sense to take him out.

238. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:27 PM (#2027869)

And... here we go again.

239. J. Cross Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:27 PM (#2027871)

C'mon Willie!!! The sooner the better. You've already waited too long.

240. Banta Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:27 PM (#2027872)

See ya in Triple A, Jeremi.

241. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:28 PM (#2027873)

Nice knowing you, Jeremi. Have fun in Norfolk, or whatever AAA city you end up in.

242. Rickroll the Mets (OFF) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:28 PM (#2027874)

Great ####### managining, Randolph. Idiot.

243. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:28 PM (#2027875)

Met announcers are talking about Jeter's intangibles. Light me on fire.

UGH. Oliver sux so bad.

244. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:28 PM (#2027876)

Jason Giambi lifetime versus Darren Oliver:

.629/.690/.914

22-for-35, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 5 BB

245. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:28 PM (#2027877)

Willie has a patent on leaving starters in for one hitter too long.

Great, now they'll go back-to-back off Oliver.

246. AJM Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:29 PM (#2027878)

Finally.

247. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:30 PM (#2027881)

Matt, those are ridiculous numbers. They can't be real, can they?

248. Rickroll the Mets (OFF) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:30 PM (#2027883)

Jason Giambi lifetime versus Darren Oliver:

.629/.690/.914

22-for-35, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 5 BB

Wow.

249. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:30 PM (#2027884)

Papi 2-R HR, 5-1 Boston.

250. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:30 PM (#2027885)

Those are insane numbers for Giambi off Oliver. And, that's one way to take care of it.

251. AJM Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:31 PM (#2027886)

Oh great HBP, someone shoot me.

252. neknhaM yrraL Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:31 PM (#2027887)

Yeah, there's a surprise.

253. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:31 PM (#2027889)

Ortiz hit a 2-run bomb in Philly. 5-1. Alex Rodriguez against Oliver. This can't be good.

254. neknhaM yrraL Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:32 PM (#2027892)

Wait, is this a clutch situation? It's not late...

255. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:32 PM (#2027893)

.629/.690/.914

22-for-35, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 5 BB

I wouldn't be able to put up those numbers with in a MLB2K6 game with cheat mode and Pujols hitting.

256. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:32 PM (#2027894)

Just don't give up a home run here with Stinnett up next, please.

257. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:32 PM (#2027895)

Here, Oliver lifetime against Yankee batters: ESPN.

258. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:33 PM (#2027897)

OLIVER!

259. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:34 PM (#2027898)

Yes! C'mon Oliver!

260. neknhaM yrraL Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:34 PM (#2027900)

I guess it was a clutch situation.

Here's the DP...

261. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:34 PM (#2027901)

The funny thing is that there are enough managers out there to let Oliver accumulate 35+, now 36+ PAs, against Giambi.

262. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:34 PM (#2027902)

A-Rod does seem to get no love from the umps.

263. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:35 PM (#2027903)

I would use every pitcher possible to win tonight's game. Then I would release either Lima or Gonzalez to get a fresh arm for the bullpen tomorrow.

264. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:35 PM (#2027906)

KELLY ####### STINNETT. WHAT THE ####?

265. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:35 PM (#2027907)

That was a big K of ARod.

266. Banta Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:35 PM (#2027908)

Kelly ####### Stinnett. Jesus!

267. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:35 PM (#2027909)

HOW DO YOU GIVE UP TWO HITS TO KELLY STINNETT?!?!?

268. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:36 PM (#2027911)

Kelly Stinnett? Gah.

269. neknhaM yrraL Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:36 PM (#2027912)

WHAT THE HELL?!?!

270. AJM Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:36 PM (#2027913)

Stinnett with another hit?

271. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:36 PM (#2027914)

Oliver is so crappy.

272. Rickroll the Mets (OFF) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:36 PM (#2027915)

Are you kidding me!?! Kelly Stinnett is 2-2.

273. zoperino,if youre not into the whole brevity thing Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:37 PM (#2027916)

Hi. Just got home from work. Why the #### is Kelly Stinnet playing?

274. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:37 PM (#2027917)

Posada left the game with "stifness in his back."

Excuse No. 3 in Cashman's book.

275. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:38 PM (#2027918)

Then I would release either Lima or Gonzalez to get a fresh arm for the bullpen tomorrow.

Why choose? Make it a 2 for 1 special.

276. zoperino,if youre not into the whole brevity thing Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:38 PM (#2027920)

Posada left the game with "stifness in his back."

Dear God,

I am sorry. It was wrong to do that, especially since she was only 5. Please accept my apology and remove the hex from my beloved Yankees.

Regards,
DZOP

277. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:38 PM (#2027921)

BWilliams still scares me in a big spot.

278. Banta Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:38 PM (#2027922)

This isn't a very relaxing game.

279. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:39 PM (#2027923)

Well, could have been worse, again.

280. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:39 PM (#2027924)

Reyes' range is shaky at times. A good SS is able to maintain his balance and make that play at third.

281. AJM Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:39 PM (#2027925)

Phew.

282. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:39 PM (#2027926)

AP: Bannister returns to extended spring training

Mets pitcher Brian Bannister is returning to extended spring training to rehabilitate his injured right hamstring after a test Friday failed to reveal any new injury.

...

Jose Lima, inserted into the rotation, is 0-3 with an 8.79 ERA. Jeremi Gonzalez had a 5.40 ERA before giving up four first-inning runs against the Yankees.

"There are some things out there," Minaya said. "What you are looking at are bad ERAs plus money."

New York doesn't plan to move Aaron Heilman from the bullpen into the rotation. Minaya said the team could bring up a pitcher from the minors.

"Now it's the seventh, eighth guys in our depth chart," Minaya said. "I'm not afraid to pick up a guy from Double-A."

283. neknhaM yrraL Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:39 PM (#2027927)

Non-sexual Chubby for Phillip Hughes

So you mean you have to go pee?

Sterling is too used to calling Jeter, he talks about how every diving play Reyes makes saves a run. No comment on there being any way to make a play...

284. Rickroll the Mets (OFF) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:39 PM (#2027928)

Reyes has saved two runs already in this game, and I bet he won't get any credit for it.

285. neknhaM yrraL Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:41 PM (#2027931)

Dear God,

I am sorry. It was wrong to do that, especially since she was only 5. Please accept my apology and remove the hex from my beloved Yankees.

DZOP

Uh... what did you do to a five year old?

286. Russlan roots for the the mediocre Mets Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:41 PM (#2027932)

I really want to see Soler. I want to see what he's got.

287. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:42 PM (#2027934)

Second half of the season - Milledge in RF, Floyd/Nady platoon + Nady takes some extra games from Milledge.

BTW, Mike Carp looks like he's starting to put things together in low A. He's still only 20, I think.

288. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:42 PM (#2027936)

Reyes has saved two runs already in this game, and I bet he won't get any credit for it.

Honestly, any good SS makes those two plays. Neither one required that much range.

289. zoperino,if youre not into the whole brevity thing Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:43 PM (#2027938)

Uh... what did you do to a five year old?

That's between me, Him, and (if she woke up) her.

290. Rickroll the Mets (OFF) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:43 PM (#2027939)

Is Omar saying that Lima/Gonzalez are the 8th and 7th guys in the Mets' SP depth, or that the guys in AA are?

291. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:43 PM (#2027941)

Final line on MacLane: 6 IP, 9 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 1 HR. 94 pitches, 61 strikes. His ERA is 1.35.

292. Banta Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:44 PM (#2027944)

I'll take it, Matt.

FREE EVAN MACLANE!!

293. neknhaM yrraL Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:44 PM (#2027945)

That's between me, Him, and (if she woke up) her.

Um, if you want to repent you have to confess what you did.

I like how Melky took the ball from Damon there, saving a double.

294. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:45 PM (#2027948)

Nice job Robby Cano.

295. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:45 PM (#2027949)

Wheee....

296. zoperino,if youre not into the whole brevity thing Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:45 PM (#2027950)

Jose, I salute you.

297. Banta Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:45 PM (#2027951)

What the?!

298. neknhaM yrraL Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:46 PM (#2027952)

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!

299. Bob Koo Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:46 PM (#2027953)

Reyes has made a high number of baserunning errors this year.

300. Raskolnikov Posted: May 19, 2006 at 08:46 PM (#2027954)

Who would have thought that Iriki being suspended for steroids would have such a big impact on the Mets season?
