oh yeah! this team freakin rocks!

I almost forgot these guys were capable of this kinda stuff.

It was 7-1...then it was 7-5 after a mighty slam from C-del, then it was 7-6 after a great play from ronnie belliard which got jose reyes at first, but the run still scored.
Then in the 9th, right after Paulie couldve went for a inside the parker if that ball just skipped a little higher.

Mr. Gary Cohen saw the future.
"So one out and one on, here comes Beltran, and one swing can win it for New York..."
and BANG! there is goes, just to the right of Azek Trimboard's K Sign...
and it was no longer Albert's Show...And Carlos Delgado became the opening act for Mr. Carlos Beltran. That 2-run game winning home run just felt magical to me. I knew it was ours when Lo Duca singled. i just felt it. thats the team we have this year.


like Jimmy V said "Never Give Up, Don't Ever Give Up."

A Jew In Flushing.

We got Shawn Green.
'Zona is paying $6.3 mil.
gave up Evan Maclane who recently threw a 5-hit shutout. but hey...i like it.

Were also going after Moises Alou. (yuck)
He's 40, in his walk year, and prone to injury.
sure hes having a better year offensively...but he has 200 less AB's and has missed/will miss the next week with a leg problem.

oh. and he pee's on his hands.
so no thanks.

holy crap theres alot of recap.

Tom Glavine...ayyy! Feeling coldness in his hand/shoulder. He has had Reynauds Phenomenon since 1991. Is it a blood clot? We don't know. Its not a aneurysm.
NEWS:: The Post (ugh) says he's good to go...

Pedro is on the DL with a strained right calf. Eligible to come off DL Wed.

Castro and Valentin...both looking to come back on Tuesday.

After the near horrendous sweep by the phils. the metties recovered in the final game, and then went on to sweep the Rockies at home...

Mets got Mota. (he's a Oliver Perez-type work in progress...)

The '86 reunion was beautiful. So is Metstradamus's recap...

Bannister and Perez both pitched very good games in AAA. Perez had a no hitter thru 6. (2 WP's and a HBP to go along) And Bannister 6IP, 1 run, 6 hits, 1 walk, 5 Ks.
(so we have options...heh)

Tonight 7:10 SNY Weaver vs. Maine.

Trade Recap

Trade Recap:: Here

We still dont know if D. Sanchez will be able to pitch again this year. The swelling need to go down before they can make that decision. If he doesnt need surgery, he may be able to pitch again in September.

Minaya said he did have to overpay to get Bert Hernandez back, and Oliver Perez. But we needed another setup man, and we all know how Roberto can pitch.
