Please don't trade Beltran to Philly.

2. Gonna break my Rusty Kuntz and run . . . Arbitol Posted: July 20, 2011 at 11:44 PM (#3882452)

Eh, bring home a top tier prospect and I'll live with the next couple of months. He'll probably get hurt anyway.

3. AJM Posted: July 20, 2011 at 11:45 PM (#3882453)

This is not going well.

4. AJM Posted: July 20, 2011 at 11:57 PM (#3882455)

Dickey puts it in the hole!

5. Gonna break my Rusty Kuntz and run . . . Arbitol Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:05 AM (#3882457)

Why are the broadcasters in right field?

6. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:10 AM (#3882459)

So is Daniel Murphy becoming the hitter I thought he'd be all along only too late to save face for me? Sigh.

7. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:12 AM (#3882461)

I think Bay hurt himself on that slide attempt when he tried to catch the foul ball.

8. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:15 AM (#3882463)

Its bad, but I got a little bit excited when they said Bay has a tight hamstring.

9. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:17 AM (#3882464)

I got a little bit excited when they said Bay has a tight hamstring.

Oh hell, Banta. It's old hat for me getting excited by tight hamstrings.

10. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:19 AM (#3882465)

Haha, you're so Sam!

11. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:22 AM (#3882466)

Hey, Sam, I'd hate to bother you, but I'm gonna bother you because it's somewhat important and I'm a very poor, pitiful man and you're so very, very smart (and handsome!). Could I send you an email regarding a family law issue?

12. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:25 AM (#3882468)

Sure, but it's not exactly my area of expertise. I'll do my best. Even if you quit the shameless kissing up.

13. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:26 AM (#3882469)

Even if you quit the shameless kissing up.

But I'd have to be crazy not to acknowledge how great you are!

14. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:27 AM (#3882470)

Duda is very much an unfinished product defensively, no matter where they put him.

15. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:30 AM (#3882472)

Sue their asses off.

16. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:35 AM (#3882473)

BTW, Olney's comments on the Beltran trade situation and what "other teams" are willing to give up were really, obviously, serving as a mouthpiece for Brian Sabean. Sabean thinks he can/should get away with giving up no more than a B prospect for Beltran, even if the Mets pay most of the contract. Good luck with that, Brian.

17. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:39 AM (#3882475)

I'm going to miss that swing. Ka-Boom.

18. AJM Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:40 AM (#3882476)

Crushed! I'm going to miss him.

19. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:41 AM (#3882477)

Make that a Diet Pepsi, AJM.

20. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:41 AM (#3882478)

It's too bad that wasn't right at Keith. That would be a clip for the ages.

21. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:42 AM (#3882480)

Are the SNY guys in the stands tonight? I'm watching on ESPN.

22. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:48 AM (#3882481)

Yay Beltran (delayed!).

You've got mail, Sam. Sorry I'm such a rambler, but hopefully your professor skills can decode through it.

23. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:48 AM (#3882482)

Sam, yes, Pepsi porch.

24. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:54 AM (#3882485)

I'll tell you what pisses me off about Duda more than anything... is that he hasn't hit a fracking homerun yet. I mean, that's the point of him.

25. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 12:59 AM (#3882488)

God Pagan sucks. Really should have traded him last year.

26. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:01 AM (#3882489)

Nick Punto is on the Cards? That makes total sense.

27. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:08 AM (#3882493)

That was fantastic work from Beato.

28. Gonna break my Rusty Kuntz and run . . . Arbitol Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:10 AM (#3882494)

I would definitely go after Pujols in this situation.

29. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:10 AM (#3882495)

Wow, first Parnell and now Beato take care of Pujols on back-to-back nights. Francisco who?

30. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:17 AM (#3882499)

Come on, Murph, you can bring it home.

31. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:19 AM (#3882501)

Beltran's OPS+ is at like 155 now. That's pretty freaking sick.

32. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:20 AM (#3882502)

argh

They jinxed him

33. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:38 AM (#3882511)

Harris should ####### swing, as he's incapable of bunting.

34. Sam M. Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:39 AM (#3882512)

You have mail, Banta. Keep the faith.

35. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:44 AM (#3882515)

I really kinda wish Duda had gone all Delgado on that 3-0.

36. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:45 AM (#3882516)

Thole, hit the damn ball, please.

37. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:48 AM (#3882517)

Thank you Sam!

And thank you, Thole!

Sam more though.

38. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 01:48 AM (#3882518)

THANK YOU

39. AJM Posted: July 21, 2011 at 02:01 AM (#3882523)

Yay Izzy!

It'd be nice if the Mets can get someone decent for him.

40. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 02:07 AM (#3882524)

Sam, I replied again.

Well, that wasn't exciting, Beltran.

41. Gonna break my Rusty Kuntz and run . . . Arbitol Posted: July 21, 2011 at 02:13 AM (#3882525)

Ok, I'll say it - Izzy's better than Bottalico was.

42. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 02:15 AM (#3882526)

Izzy looks good.

43. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 02:21 AM (#3882530)

Oh ####, I jinxed him.

44. Banta Posted: July 21, 2011 at 02:26 AM (#3882533)

Ok, I guess they shouldn't have traded him after all!

That's a good game, folks.

45. Lassus Posted: July 21, 2011 at 02:26 AM (#3882534)

Boy, that was easy. :-)

46. Raskolnikov Posted: July 21, 2011 at 02:31 AM (#3882538)

Ballgame!
