8/23/06

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.

8/22/06

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.

7/31/06

bye bye x-man

NEWS::
swapped xavier nady for roberto hernandez and oliver perez.

wow.
wow.

possibly the worst news we could get...

dunaer sanchez was in a car accident last night and seperated his shoulder.
he will be out for the remainder of the season.

hope youre ok duaner.
were gonna REALLY miss you.

ok..omar. find me a reliever.

trades?

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.

7/30/06

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...)
