Chris Young takes the mound at 7:1
START 8/21 CHATTER
Johan’s not starting Thurs and i’m not surprised one bit
Oh, i see you were able to get rid of some of the chat
Wow. 3k inning by Young
Great start by Young. Is he in their 2013 plans ?
oh yay. baxter is leading off
i don’t think young is in their 2013 plans
Santana/Dickey/Gee/Niese and i’m thinking FA for the 5th spot, but not Young
Where is Harvey?
oh right. Forgot about him
Might bring in veteren FA though to compete with him
No, I think they would keep Young instead. Mejia also may be in the mix. McHugh and Wheeler and Familia in the wings. Need a vet to start the season though.
Young is cruising
Hey Metsense
Hi Brian They need to start playing better ball
Are they capable at this point?
Why not? DW faltering is what really hurts. He is their leader
He’s playing well on defense still but his offense is floundering.
Tejada is also in need of some rest and with Cedeno playing welll TC should give him two days of rest
And yes DW is playing gold glove 3B.
I wish they would call Duda back up
Me too because at this point it does not matter and he just might be the starting LF next year
It’s just tough having an OF completely devoid of power. At least Duda offers some threat of hitting the ball out.
The Mets really messed up hitching the wagon to Bay again
Good article today in Fangraphs on the Rays bullpen. Interesting how Farnsworth didn’t get his closer role back. Mets should take a page in their thinking
If only they listened to me and cut him last year when I told them to!
They may never cut him
I’ll be shocked if he’s on the Opening Day roster next year. I think he’ll be cut in ST
If they cut him it should be before the Rule 5 draft
Not completely sure how Rule 5 works but it seems like they could just not protect him.
Ed Charles!
Don’t throw a slider to the Glider!
That’s exactly what they said. Do you have the Mets feed tonight?
Yes but I’m behind with all the typing
it slows down the feed
Mets drafted Cliff Speck instead of Sutcliffe.
Mets have a nice little rally going on now.
Watched two strikes in the middle of the plate and then goes fishing. It’s hard to watch DW now.
Good thing that throw was off line or else they might have had Tejada at the plate.
Just opposite of his first half
Nice to get the lead
Argh, my comp is so weird
PERFECT GAME alert: Chris Young thru 5!
nice job torres
no-hit bid is over
this reminds me of johan’s start…
Way to jinx everything – Name
i’m responsible for his throwing error?
Mets get 1st and 3rd no out. They strike out, sac fly, and strike out.
Rockies get 1st and 3rd no out. They get Error, single,steal, strike out, single, sac fly, caught stealing
Kinda pathetic don’t you think
it would be terrible if the phillies passed us in the standings today
Please gang. I’m genuinely sad.
I know. 5 perfect inning and then BAM
Chris Young hits a major wall.
As usual
Yes you are responsible – you know baseball superstition is that you don’t mention the no-no or perfect game. It’s all your fault! Just like I’m responsible for the Mets winning Game 6 of the World Series because I didn’t move a muscle when I was laying on the couch during the big comeback.
You’re funny B
Rockies bullpen will throw 3 perfect innings!
Will we score 2?
There Brian. I jinxed the Rockies bullpen, happy?
Ha!!!
It’s the least you could do
How ya doing Chris?
****, i didn’t realize how close the Mets were to the basement
Means the mets will never score again
We’re there name
They really need to get back to the west coast.
So what should I write about tomorrow that’s not just utterly depressing? Can it be done?
If we don’t GDP today, that will be 2 days in a row… i think
Back to back Friskies commercials for me during this break
Oh. I just realized that the Rockies have already scored 4 runs so we have virtually no shot of winning
Maddened hasn’t been bad. Making less errors
Good reverse jinx!
Fielding that is
Interesting – I’ll look into that and see what I can dig up. Thanks!
it’s been 26 innings since the Mets have scored more than 1 run in an inning
Very little to be positive about
And that inning was the Davis 2-R HR.
Edgins error was the first in a while
It’s been 42 inning since the actually “manufactured” more than 1 run in an inning
Guess we’ve given up
Is that what bringing in Carson means? Not disagreeing, just wondering
Hudgens and Warthen should be fired tonight
Murphy doing his Jeter imitation.
TC should be fired
I think murph can make it at second
TC should be fired
Fowler the next mets killer
I would tell TC to fire Franky, and then i would surprise him by also firing him
I’m struggling fellow mets fans. This really s u c k s
And then i would promote Hudgens. Tell him to fire some people, and then fire him as well
A new low every game.
I hear ya name. My patience with TC is very thin
And then i would make Murphy my manager
Who’s the new manager? Teufel? Backman? Someone else
Murphy aha
Losing two of three at home to the Rockies.
Wally
Backman.Ive them some fire.
I really wouldn’t be opposed to hiring some first time manager like they did with Matheny or Ventura. Look where those 2 teams are now
On the bright side of things, i just noticed the Reds took a 3-1 lead on the PHils
I didn’t realize the Rockies were loaded ith silver sluggers and Cy young candidates
Did you know the Astros also have many candidates for those awards?
It sucks because they’re coming in next
I can guarantee you that the run that scored this inning will be the difference in the ballgame
They do treat us bad. Could we lose 7?
See ya tmrw gents
And then there were 2
wimps
Keith was complaining earlier about fundamentals being horrible in this game and now no one covers the plate in a rundown.
What on earth?
this is too depressing guys. I’m out
It is for sure
