And this one I should even be able to watch as it happens!
I had visions of the graded presentations being limited to twenty seconds or less.
In keeping with my usual belief that what I do matters to the outcome of Mets' games, I have formed the belief that I/they were rewarded yesterday for my utterly responsible dedication to my job. Because I neither cancelled class nor gave my students short shrift, the baseball Gods made sure the Mets won that game. What else explains the Kent/Drew fiasco???
Yes, I know this is preposterous. Just leave me alone in my egoecentric little universe, and I'll be fine . . . .
I was wearing my 1988 Eastern Division Champions shirt.
This isn't really the time, but did anyone notice that, along with Humber and Pelfrey, Fernando! is on the AFL team this year? He is essentially the youngest player in the league by a good 3 years, the only other player born after 1985 was Matt Tuiasosopo, who is 2 years older.
I agree here, Sam. I believe the same will happen tonight as I bypassed a chance to go to tonight's game since I have class.
Certainly, yesterday's win takes some pressure off tonight, but hopefully it puts a little more pressure on Kuo. The Mets must stick to the plan of working the count and getting his pitch count high; they may not score a lot of runs, but if Kuo is out before the end of the 6th inning, that gives them a few innings to feast on whomever the Dodgers trot out in middle relief.
1) Glavine for six.
2) Kool-Aid for the seventh, with Chadro Feliciford in the wings in case he needs help.
3) Heilman for the eighth.
4) Wagner for the ninth.
Yesterday was the big game and they got it.
My worst fear is getting to the WS and having to face the Yanks. I would almost rather not get that far. The Yanks lineup will eat up our staff and embarass us. Lets go Tigers.
You forgot the part where the Mets score 8 runs in the first three innings. Kuo has certainly been impressive and the Mets have had trouble with lefties but this is the playoffs and I think he'll have a bit more trouble this time against the Mets. Kuo may be one of those guys with ice water in his veins but I think (hope) the atmosphere will affect him. I was there yesterday (going again tonight) and it was LOUD. 8-3 Mets, HRs for Reyes and Beltran.
Definately not. I'm hoping the game ends no later than 10:45 because I want to go out to a frat party, get drunk, and hook up with this girl who I should have hooked up with last weekend.
8:19 is first pitch. Let's get it on.
I talked to Willie yesterday and he had not decided on game three's pitcher yet. I'm not worried because he (Oliver Perez) is the best option. We are in a situation, you have to go with your best option. Don't get me wrong, stuff wise, he has great stuff. What going on here is, not only does the pitching coach help out, we have players helping each other out.
1) Glavine for six.
2) Kool-Aid for the seventh, with Chadro Feliciford in the wings in case he needs help.
3) Heilman for the eighth.
4) Wagner for the ninth.
We have tomorrow off so I don't mind Heilman throwing 2 innings today if need be. I thought Mota might have been getting a little gased yesterday so ideally he doesn't pitch but of course he's an option.
In a perfect world, if we have a lead, I'd say:
1) Glavine for 5
2) Situational Felicano, Bradford and (maybe) Oliver for 6th and possibly 7th.
3) Heilman for 7th (if needed) and 8th
4) Wagner for 9th.
If we're down I'd consider letting any of Feliciano, Bradford and Oliver throw a full inning depending on matchups. One advantage to Glavine only pitching 5 (in addition to getting the strength of the staff, the reliever, in earlier) is that he could then pitch a possible game 5.
Furcal, ss (275/341/625, 2 HR/2 3B in 40 AB)
Lofton, cf (000/083/000, 11 AB)
Nomar, 1b (207/258/276, 29 AB)
Kent, 2b (259/298/352, 1 HR in 54 AB)
Drew, rf (250/400/313, 16 AB)
Martin, c (1-for-2)
Anderson, lf (286/297/426, 35 AB)
Lugo, 3b (294/333/294, 17 AB)
Kuo, p
Well, based on those numbers (small sample size, I know), it'd be quite disappointing if Glavine doesn't at least record a quality start. I'm really surprised that Anderson is starting. He doesn't hit lefties at all.
Haven't heard any talk of this, so I'm just speculating.
Endy over Green! Willie is really impressing me. I didn't think for a second that Endy would get the chance. This is fantastic.
Why not pitch Perez if the Mets are up 2-0?
Green wasn't going to hit the lefty so I'm glad Willie decided to get some defense in there.
OTOH, there is a solid logic to it, given the problem we've had w/ lefties. Let's put that behind us once and for all. TONIGHT.
Some things never die . . . . don't forget the White Rat, too.
Nice start.
Anyone know what Grady was asking about?
This Kuo guy has had some impressive K:BB ratios since coming back to the majors and starting. Still, I'm hoping a little patience, a walk or two, and he starts to combust.
Wright took a quick dive to his left, into the hole towards short, to stab a sharp grounder hit by Lofton and then throw him out.
So far, so good.
Glavine looks excellent.
Did Fox run out of money?
Note to Omar: Get a platoon partner for Valentin for '07.
Great stuff!!!!!
Isn't it about time we scored off Kuo?
Let's get him to third Tommy.
The wild pitch is huge.
