A cramp in his hammer? That’s the kind of injury that could really make a man sit down for a week or so.

Yeah heard about Fmart. Thats a shame hope its nothing to serious and he can get back to action soon enough for his sake.

OK, Thanks. btw, FMart was taken out of last nights game with a “cramp” in his hammer.

David,

Thats an impressive line. What level is Holt pitching at?

Steve,

It has been slow ive been waiting all day for someone to post something i like the banter on here helps break up the work day. Maybe its a big win hangover hopefully the team isnt as flat tonight !

Um so did everyone see that performance by sandwich pick Brad Holt last night. 6ip 2 H 0 R 14 K’s. I dont care if you’re pitching in high school thats a pretty nice line.

Is Delcos alive? Is anyone alive out there? I mean whoever said that this board has many more people here posting when the team is losing than when they are winning were sure right!

Delcos: Time to find a new nickname for Oliver Perez? How about “Shiny side of the coin Perez,” or “Always comes up heads Perez?” Anyway, he’s won the last few coin flips.

I cannot say i liked watching him,Reyes, trot about the bases.
A little victory in the dugout sure. The episode reminded me of when the pitcher grandslammed against the mets and Willie had nothing but nastiness to say about how the pitcher behaved running the bases. and rightly so. run the base. be happy, but dont be an ASS. these are supposed to be professionals. Good winners and Good Losers.

I am glad I was wrong about deglado, but it has to be about how Manuel treats/talks to him. You can tell he’s hitting differently and actually waiting and getting walks. If he keeps this up great otherwise, it was another flash in the pan. But I will accept it for now. However he still sux at first base. that will never change.

Any day you start Marlon Anderson is a day you’re overthinking lefty-righty match-ups to a suicidal extreme. Thankfully, today, it was a good day.

Tomg – You the man. They have been hurting the Phillies all year even w/Willie. Time to be a glass half full kind of guy.

Gotta Believe (and let go of ‘07).

What did Francessa do now?

By: Steve (The Original)

Steve (The Original) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:27:01 +0000

Francessa is a blow hard. He has no acceptance in my Met world. Unless of course the Mets beat up the Giants and he rags on Russo. :-)

Have missed seeing/hearing most of the past two games due to thunder, lightning and heavy rain. I had the radio on and heard Mike Francesa being excited about the Mets now in sole possession of First Place. I hope they don’t get complacent, but continue on as though they need to rack up ++++ games. There’s an old phrase about stomping on your opponents that applies here.

We’ve learned a couple of things in the past month – management style does count, the guys with the biggest paychecks don’t always deliver, pitchers will fail and Fred Wilpon and Sandy Koufax just can’t wait for Citi Field to open.

As for on the field antics – leave Reyes alone – he’s a free spirit with a talent for baseball – reminds me a bit of Ozzie Smith. He has a joy for the game that is a gift, not a pretense.

About Mike Francesa. I’ve listened to him for about 18 years and he used to be a Yankees only guy. That changed about 5 years ago when he married the youngest daughter of a family of eleven children whose Mother was a big Mets fan. He and his wife now have 3yr.old twins and a 2year old son who are being raised as Mets fans by their Mother and Grandmother. Mike has been seen more than once at Shea – with children. Welcome him.

I’m a free lance writer and read and post to several politics, news and sports blogs daily, but this is where I start the day.

Thanks, John.

Steve (The Original),

I was one of those met fans lobbying to sign Texiera next year but I’ve cooled off on that idea. I didn’t know about that article you mentioned but he hasn’t help the braves be any better and the more i think about it i don’t think it’s a good idea to tie up all that money for Texiera.

Scoop: If you can take a look at David O’Brien’s blog on the Atlanta Journal Constitution, he wrote about Texiera being one of those guys who can’t be counted on to do it when a team really needs it. More of a compiler of stats than anything else. He’s going to ask for 23 mil per year it is rumored and his agent is Boras. I’m not sure the Mets are going to go there or if he is even worth it.

Despite Delgado’s surge, I understand that Tex is somebody that Jeff Wilpon really likes. And can you really count on Delagdo to be able to do this for another yr or 2? Besides, if Mets get Tex then FMart can step into LF w/o having to bat higher than 7th. And Mets won’t have to get another big bat for several yrs.

But I could see the Angels scenario. Only problem is that Vlad is gettting paid so little, can they pay somebody else alot more and not upset him. Plus, everything written on Tex says he will go FA no matter where he lands (even if he is moved out of Atl).

Mets will have plenty of $$ coming off the books. I’m even leaning tw giving OP some $$ (but let’s see what Boras demands)....

Ray,

That is a classic quote.

As to your question you’d have to think the Angels would be interested as he would fit quite nicely in the middle of that lineup with Vlad and they have the farm system to get him.
