301. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:43 PM (#2932562)

The bullpen has yet to allow a run in September.

302. Joshemy Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:44 PM (#2932563)

A little pop from Damion.

303. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:44 PM (#2932564)

Useful!

304. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:44 PM (#2932565)

EASLEY DOES IT!

305. I Love LA (OFF) Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:44 PM (#2932566)

Easley with the triple. And you guys were complaining about him...tsk tsk.

306. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:44 PM (#2932567)

there is no way he'll accept the contract the Phillies will be willing to offer him- something like 2 years at $10MM per/year.

Are you serious? That's all they'd offer? That's pretty lame. I'm not saying he's worth 6/$90M or anything, but 4/$20M is pretty insulting, and way below his value.

EASLEY SHUTS MY ASS UP!!!

Now get him in, boys.

307. I Love LA (OFF) Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:45 PM (#2932568)

Marlon Anderson!?!? Are you ####### kidding me? Please no.

308. Joshemy Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:45 PM (#2932569)

Very well done Brian.

309. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:45 PM (#2932570)

Victorino has robbed the Mets of a lot of hits playing shallow. This time he got burned.

310. AJM Misses Brodeur Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:45 PM (#2932571)

Insurance run!

Oh goody, Marlon.

311. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:46 PM (#2932572)

Great job by Schneider. Deliver the Olney, get the 4-run lead.

312. I Love LA (OFF) Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:46 PM (#2932573)

Remember when Randolph would use Anderson at 1b/LF? Good times.

313. Joshemy Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:47 PM (#2932574)

Marlon is terrible.

314. strong silence Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:47 PM (#2932575)

205/279/333 September 2007 - Reyes.
188/278/375 September 2008 - Reyes.

That young man needs a good mentor/coach to help him stay relaxed and focused on the right things as he tries to help his team.

315. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:48 PM (#2932576)

188/278/375 September 2008 - Reyes.

It's only September 7th.* Give him time.

* - Pearl Harbor Day, by George H.W. Bush's calendar.

316. strong silence Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:49 PM (#2932577)

Reyes is 0 for 5 tonight. Repeat comment 314.

317. will Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:51 PM (#2932578)

To #306- Sam, not 4/$20 MM for Pat, but rather 2/$20 MM (which he won't accept). The Phillies have a whole bunch of guys who will be arbitration-eligible : Howard (again), Hamels,Victorino,Dobbs, Madsen,Werth and several others. They stick to a budget of $100 MM , and they'll take the 14MM they paid Pat this year, and re-allocate.Werth and Victorino will lay full time, and they'll look for a new LF.

318. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:52 PM (#2932579)

Sam, not 4/$20 MM for Pat, but rather 2/$20 MM (which he won't accept).

I know -- that was a typo on my part. I was astonished at 2/$20M, but I didn't think you were suggesting a $5M a year offer.

Why even bother to make an offer, if it's going to be that silly?

319. I Love LA (OFF) Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:52 PM (#2932580)

WTF was Schnider thinking!?!?

320. Joshemy Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:53 PM (#2932581)

Brian didn't have much of a play. He probably should have seen if it was going to roll foul.

321. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:53 PM (#2932582)

Oh, great. Is that how the meltdown begins this time? A dribbler and a throwing error? Sigh.

322. Karl from NY Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:53 PM (#2932583)

Oh god. Meltdown imminent. Reactor critical in 5.. 4.. 3...

323. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:54 PM (#2932584)

Much better. One hit, one out. We can win with that. Keep repeating and we'll be fine.

324. Joshemy Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:55 PM (#2932585)

You have to be ############# kidding me with this ####.

325. AJM Misses Brodeur Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:55 PM (#2932586)

Fantastic.

326. I Love LA (OFF) Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:55 PM (#2932587)

Damn!

327. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:55 PM (#2932588)

Please tell me this is not happening.

328. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:55 PM (#2932589)

Enough with these horseshit hits.

329. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:56 PM (#2932590)

Winning ain't easy!

330. strong silence Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:56 PM (#2932591)

Gotta tell the truth - Adrian Beltre would have made that play.

331. Joshemy Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:57 PM (#2932592)

Endy makes me so much more comfortable.

332. Zeba Zeba Eata Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:57 PM (#2932593)

Thank goodness for Endy.

333. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:57 PM (#2932594)

My heart and blood pressure cannot take this. One more, Luis. One more. Don't bring the tying run to the plate, OK???

334. Alan S Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:57 PM (#2932595)

Endy in LF > Tatis in LF

335. Dan Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:57 PM (#2932596)

Is hitting for Coste really worth it when it means Andy Tracy bats for the pitcher instead of Stairs?

336. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:58 PM (#2932597)

Don't let Utley hit this inning, Ayala.

337. will Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:58 PM (#2932598)

Rollins hasn't swung first pitch all night

338. I Love LA (OFF) Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:58 PM (#2932599)

I dont want to see Utley up to bat.

339. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:59 PM (#2932600)

If Utley does hit, Schoeneweis?

340. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:59 PM (#2932601)

Ayala may not be any good, but he throws strikes.

341. I Love LA (OFF) Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:59 PM (#2932603)

Yes!

342. AJM Misses Brodeur Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:59 PM (#2932602)

Ballgame!

343. Joshemy Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:59 PM (#2932604)

GOT HIM!

Happy recap!

344. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:59 PM (#2932605)

WOOY! HEART ATTACK AVERTED!

345. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 10:59 PM (#2932606)

BALLGAME!!!!!

And, oh how sweet for Rollins to be the last out.

Santana and Carlos II are HEROIC!!!!

346. Alan S Posted: September 07, 2008 at 11:01 PM (#2932608)

Division lead back up to 2 games. All hail Carlos/Santana!

347. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: September 07, 2008 at 11:01 PM (#2932607)

I like Ayala a lot. He throws strikes and he doesn't give up many homers. That alone is enough to be a solid reliever.

348. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: September 07, 2008 at 11:01 PM (#2932609)

Huge win. 11-7 against the Phils this season.

349. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: September 07, 2008 at 11:01 PM (#2932610)

I was confident. We had it all the way.

*notices lips are blue*

350. Sam M. Posted: September 07, 2008 at 11:04 PM (#2932612)

The Mets' next 12 games are ALL against Washington and Atlanta. Five at home, then our seven last road games of the year. That is THE opportunity to put a lot of wins together, and put pressure on the Phillies to keep pace.

351. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: September 07, 2008 at 11:27 PM (#2932628)

That's why they pay Santana. Great game all around.
