trade day::

9:30 AM
heres a strange one...
"Still, the Mets engaged in weekend dialogue with the Pirates, with ex-Met reliever Roberto Hernandez and Wells the two most obtainable options from Pittsburgh. Chips that have been mentioned in that type of deal include Heath Bell, Anderson Hernandez and hard-throwing Double-A reliever Matt Lindstrom." --Daily News.

9:15 AM
Star Ledger is reporting that Lastings Milledge is not in the trade talks for Schmidt. Giants are asking Heilman and one or two lower tier prospects...

...id take it...

3:24 AM
again. our friends over at MLB Trade Rumors got this one...
Milledge for Roy (the Tractor) Oswalt or Schmidt
Bannister may be needed to get oswalt...
Heilman may be needed for either...

2:44 AM
Marquis for Heliman????
marquis (in his walk year)...
well
just read here..



2:23 AM
most talked about player...Jason Schmidt. 7-7 3.18 ERA
zito seems to be staying put.
Livan is still in talks.


...i would welcome schmidt. hes always been fairly good. but for who..?
i could give up heilman for him. we could easily give up 3b or SS prospects as we look set there for a while...but thats just me.

im kinda in shock

we swept the braves IN hot-lanta. wow.

theyre 15 out. were 14 up on philly. biggest lead of the season.
beltran tied the ML record with 3 Grand Slams in a calender month.
delgado went 4-5 with that "painful bruise"
19 hits.

glavine only went 4 giving up 6 runs. ayyyy

i really dont want to be greedy and ask for any more from this team.

==Yanks/Phils pulled off the biggest trade...Sending Abreu and Lidle to bronx for 4 minor leaguers...==

lets beat those fish.

7/27/06

Game:: Mets 6 -- Braves 4

Welcome back Mr. Martinez.
After a shaky first...giving up four runs...he settled down and retired 12 straight after C. Jones' lead off double in the third.
Through the first 3 innings he gave up 5 hits, 2 walks and 4 runs. Innings 3 (after the double) thru 6 he gave up 0 hits and struck out 2.

Final Line: 6 IP, 5 Hits, 2 BB, 2 K, 4 ER. not GREAT. but you cant tell how he pitched from the box score.

Feliciano/Sanchez/Wagner combined for 9 outs. with sanchez giving up a walk to bettiment and the K-ing A. Jones to end the 8th in a big spot.

Reyes and Wright hit solo shots. Beltran hit a 2RBI single and Valentin added a sac fly.
Great game today ('cept for the 1st...)

el duque vs. hudson 1:20

7/26/06

i didnt see last nights game.

"In that span, starters Doug Pelfrey, Steve Trachsel and Tom Glavine have been ripped for 21 runs in 15 1-3 innings." --Yahoo.
who the heck is Doug Pelfrey?
hehe.

ill be at the 12:10 game today. whooo

7/25/06

swwwwweeeep.

thats right, back-to-back sweeps...

reyes-3 hits. loduca-2hits. delgado--crushed a 2-run HR in the 5th.
Shawn Green- 1-3 walk, k, RBI. not too shabby. and he likes the place.

g.mota rocked again. 1 IP, 0 hits, 2 k's.

Castro to 60-day DL :: Perez Up.
Milledge down :: Bannister up.

Friday: Bannister
Saturday: Perez
Sunday: Maine

Another sweep? or is that just too damn greedy??

ARGH! :: Cubs 8 -- Mets 7

we gave up the runs early. tried to battle back, and fell just short.

Maddux is like the pitching version of chipper jones at shea. 14 wins in 30 starts at shea.

We will now operate in a six man rotation. Pedro will be returning on Friday to pitch against Atlanta.

Nice play by Lo Duca in the 8th to throw out a speedy Pierre.
Fun game...too bad we couldnt pull that one out.

Trades: The Heilman for Gil Meche rumor apparently is asolutely nothing. its a "non rumor."

Glavine v. Zambrano 7:10
trying to avoid a 3 game skid.

7/23/06

No Sweep.: Astros 8 - Mets 4

well he beat us.
stupid tractor.

C-Del is hopefully breaking that slump going 2-2 with a 3-run HR and 2 walks.

Pelfrey still looks like a rookie out there. He has a bit o' trouble in those pressure spots with men on base. hes used to K after K after K. He looked like a guy just called up from AA. maybe it was the home crowd...wanting that 3rd win and the sweep...

"Who is going to be the odd-man-out when Pedro comes back..?" That had to have been going through his head.

well. 2 out of 3 aint bad says Meatloaf. next up Maddux and the Cubs.

oh. and Guy Conti (bullpen coach) underwent angioplasty to relieve (no pun intended!) a clogged artery. should be back with the team monday. were with you guy.

7/22/06

Game:: Mets 4 -- Astros 3

Preorder your Meatloaf and Joe Buck duet tape out soon!

but seriously...
El Duque gave up a 2-run HR to Lance Berkman, and a solo shot to Preston Wilson. and then promptly closed the door from there on.

C-Del hit a sac fly, scoring Valentin in the bot of the first.
and mr Xavier Nady hit a 3 run home run in the 4th inning.

the line on Hernandez 7 IP, 4 hits, 3 ER, 2 BB, and 8 K's. not too shabby.
Duaner pitched the 8th and Wagner saved it in the 9th.

not much to say. great pitching from el duque, after a shaky first. retired 9 (?) in a row.

~21 games over .500~

"I've made a revelation, A-Rod is responsible for global warming." --that guy who isnt Joe Buck.
haha

Pelfrey vs. Oswalt 1:20 sunday.
