[Dep]

Jodie Meeks FTW lol

[Dep]

joseeeeee

[DL]

lol @ how the yankees own the o's

[Dep]

hahaha, another balk

speed kills

[DL]

lol

[sheadenizen]

I'm sure the Heat couldn't care less about this game and would just assume win it in Miami.

[John]

lol

WAR needs to factor balks into Jose's game lol

[DL]

mehhhh

keep it up niese

[sheadenizen]

Unfortunately for the Nix fans, I'm not sure the Celts will show the same mercy! But maybe they'll give it to you to get back to Bahhston!

[John]

Mejia having issues controlling the curve

[Chris in Ga]

I like how Niese is pitching up in the zone to the LH hitters

[Chris in Ga]

OMG Darling called a hispanic kid scrappy

[John]

sac fly by the iron pigs
2-2

[John]

ugh mejia pulls a pelf and throws the ball away.........runner on 2nd.

[Dep]

good job niese

gooooo bats

[sheadenizen]

Mejia having issues controlling the curve

that's why he's in the minors.

[sheadenizen]

here comes the heat. maybe sixers shouldn't pack their bags yet.

[John]

that's why he's in the minors.

yep.

I think he's thrown only like 1 for a strike so far

[Dep]

hahahahaha, nice throw

[DL]

hahaha

[John]

Mejia gives up a 3 run home run

5-2

[Chris in Ga]

I think Beltran's gonna go deep here.

[sheadenizen]

boy that Roberts seems a bit defensively challenged...not that i'm complaining mind you...:)

[Chris in Ga]

Mejia lost his prospect status there.

Moviel > Mejia

[sheadenizen]

I think Beltran's gonna go deep here.

sure hope you're right!

[John]

lmao almost called it Chris

[Dep]

TRON!!!

F U MO ZONE

[Chris in Ga]

That was close

[sheadenizen]

almost chris.....!!!!

[Dep]

Mejia gives up a 3 run home run

5-2

d'oh

[John]

The home run mejia gave up was pretty much dead center......405 ft.

[DL]

nice

[Irish Terry Conklin]

Mejia lost his prospect status there.

Moviel > Mejia

LOL. Keeping him in the minors has stunted his development.

[John]

That Mo Zone ...........mets players are gonna hate that...............xcept Ike lol

[Irish Terry Conklin]

The money Modells is paying for the Mo Zone allows the Mets to make payroll.

[John]

ok hittracker is BS

They said that HR Saturday by Ike was 410............no freaking way.

[DL]

only the o's can make jeter look not done

[Chris in Ga]

It is very rare for a ball to hit the fence in the mo zone. Thats probably the hardest thing to do in the ball park

[Dep]

Modell's is about to get a big fire insurance check too

they can give some to the mets

BURN THEM ALL

[Dep]

bahhhhhhhhhh

come on IKE

[Chris in Ga]

Thole better come thru

[Dep]

ok hittracker is BS

They said that HR Saturday by Ike was 410............no freaking way.
that's silly

[DL]

[Dep]

ahhhhh come on thole

mini shock the world

[Irish Terry Conklin]

Come on Jose Thole!

[Dep]

[John]

Not buying it lol

[Chris in Ga]

[DL]

[Dep]

Not buying it lol

LOL. Will be devastating if we only get 1 here.

[Dep]

PRIDIE!!!! holy shit!!!

[Chris in Ga]

PRIDIE????????????????????????????

OMG!

[Irish Terry Conklin]

PRIDIE!!!!!

[sheadenizen]

YIPPPEEE!!! Pridie!!!

[DL]

[Future]

PRIDIE!!!! KABOOM!!!!

[Future]

Well, Beltran got screwed by MoZone, Pridie said, I'll hit it to the visitor's bullpen. :)

[sheadenizen]

Go Guys!
Come on Niese. Keep those snakes off the board!

[peejay]

Pridie! (in the name of love)

[Dep]

hahahaha that's right. all unearned cuz of robert's "throw"

lol

[DL]

lol that this guy basically had a perfect game once

[sheadenizen]

Lucas Duda is jealous!

[Dep]

lol that this guy basically had a perfect game once

at least the universe stopped it

[sheadenizen]

Nice playJason!

[Chris in Ga]

Yay! An outfielder who should be afraid of the wall is not afraid of the wall

[John]

Think the diagram is wrong
Thought Ike hit it into the upper deck.........there's 3 levels over there ? lol

[Dep]

blahhhhhh totally lost him. lame walk

come on niese. get a DP

[Dep]

Ike hit it to the top from what i recall

[lucienlc]

Great shot by Pridie. Hitting better here than in AAA so far, lol!

Would have been even funnier if the bases had still been juiced. Bet nobody had Pridie for first GS of the year. :-)

[sheadenizen]

the latest word is amar'e is playing today.

[Dep]

ho hum

come on niese, minimize the damage

[lucienlc]

Ike hit it to the top from what i recall

Ike hit it to the last few rows (or maybe even behind them) of the upper part of the Pepsi Porch. It then ricocheted wildly back.

C'mon Niese. Don't give 'em back.

[DL]

ugh come on niese

[lucienlc]

Niese's cutter isn't cutting today so far.

[Future]

Limited the damage to 1 run.

[Dep]

there ya go

not bad niese

go bats

[lucienlc]

Limited the damage at least.

[John]

Mejia ends the 4th with 1st K

[four3two1]

@AdamRubinESPN Jenrry Mejia getting roughed up for AAA Buffalo -- five runs allowed through three innings vs. Pigs (Phillies). #mets




We can't even beat the minor league phillies

[Dep]

that is one strange delivery

[John]

weirdness lol

[Dep]

hahahaha DAVID!!!!

[John]

YES

[Chris in Ga]

WRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DL]

dw!

[lucienlc]

I really enjoy David's hot streaks. Just wish he had more of them.

Guess he figured out this guy's delivery.

[Irish Terry Conklin]

DW!

[four3two1]

That's some epic hr music

[lucienlc]

that was Beltran's birthday present. LOL!

[Chris in Ga]

Notice how Hu takes everyone's helmet off their heads after HRs today

[DL]

dbacks thought they had us one-upped by bringing in this dude with the illegal delivery

[Irish Terry Conklin]

Notice how Hu takes everyone's helmet off their heads after HRs today

Who?

[four3two1]

We're becoming 2 out hit artists

[Dep]

Hu likes to smell the success

[Dep]

looked like it hit his uniform

but we want him hitting anyways

[Dep]

IKE!!!! w00t

[DL]

LOL

[sheadenizen]

YES! We like Ike!

[John]

the mets are clutch?? lol

[lucienlc]

Ike! Padding his RBI stats! LOL!

I somehow think he's gonna have more than the 80 RBIs that practically everyone projected for him.

[sheadenizen]

Thole is having a hard time lately.

[sheadenizen]

Bear down Niese!

[Ramon Suarez]

Looks like Mr. Perfect got knocked around.


Is Jason Bay THIS important to our team?

[sheadenizen]

Looks like Mr. Perfect got knocked around.


Is Jason Bay THIS important to our team?

You've made your dislike of him very clear, but at the moment it sure looks that way.

[Future]

Looks like Mr. Perfect got knocked around.


Is Jason Bay THIS important to our team?

We got rid of Willie Harris or Duda starting, I think that's a big deal. ;)

Nice catch Carlos Beltran!

[Chris in Ga]

Looks like Mr. Perfect got knocked around.


Is Jason Bay THIS important to our team?

Extends the lineup.

[lucienlc]

having some fun with the fans:


SurfingTheMets Quick poll: Of the current staff, which Met do you think is most likely to throw the team's first no-no?


SurfingTheMets My poll reveals your fixation on future over present. Lots of votes for Harvey and Mejia.

Nice inning there for Niese.

[lucienlc]

DPLennon Isringhausen wished Beltran a happy birthday this morning, then asked, "How old are you - 41?" (he was joking). Beltran is 34.

.

[DL]

niese or dickey will throw a no-no this year

[Ramon Suarez]

You've made your dislike of him very clear, but at the moment it sure looks that way.

So true. I cannot deny the facts.


We got rid of Willie Harris or Duda starting, I think that's a big deal.

I think you hit the nail on the head. He is so much better offensively and especially defensively than his replacements.


Extends the lineup.


Also very true. BTW, Pridie is making Angel look bad.

[sheadenizen]

We got rid of Willie Harris or Duda starting, I think that's a big deal. ;)

Nice catch Carlos Beltran!

getting rid of pagan was a help too. i don't dislike him, but he was currently killing this team...including his defense.

[Ellis Dee]

Bay does help a lot esp since he's been hot. However, don't forget b4 he came back everything was going against us. From ridiculous ump calls, to bloops dropping in for the opposing teams, to our hard hit balls being caught, to some crazy bad defensive play - esp in the OF.

[Bob A. Booey]

wow a win streak ??? wtf ,,,,,

[Ramon Suarez]

You know, its funny how things work.

I haven't been that impressed with Jon's cutter today and he's surrendered only 2 hits, 2 Ks and no 1ER.

I remember when he pitched against the Phillies and got rocked in 4 IP having great stuff and getting 7 Ks.

Baseball is so weird that way.

[DL]

josh johnson great game alert cancelled

(still having a great game)

[Ramon Suarez]

Bay does help a lot esp since he's been hot. However, don't forget b4 he came back everything was going against us. From ridiculous ump calls, to bloops dropping in for the opposing teams, to our hard hit balls being caught, to some crazy bad defensive play - esp in the OF.

Even the pitching is better...but they were getting their act straight a little before Bay came back.

If you look at our runs scored, we are #1 in the NL East. Its just our runs allowed that are KILLING us.

[John]

Slightly better 5th from Mejia

a walk and a hit but 2k's'

[John]

what the hell niese lol

[Future]

Kelly Kapowski up.

[Chris in Ga]

There was a kid who threw like this pitcher on the Dbacks in High School. I'd sit fastball early in the count against him and change up behind in the count. I owned his ass (one of maybe 2 or 3 I owned). Guys who throw like this, the change is extremely hard to read. But if you look for it, especially when you are behind in the count, it's very smackable

[lucienlc]

josh johnson great game alert cancelled

(still having a great game)

They had duelling no-nos going in that game for awhile. Now neither does.

[Ramon Suarez]

Slightly better 5th from Mejia

a walk and a hit but 2k's'.

[Chris in Ga]

Kelly Johnson (A reverse splits hitter) would have given Jerry fits. Jerry would ask "How does left hit left?"

[Ramon Suarez]

Jon is actually choosing this inning to use his change.

[Future]

It's crazy but Bay looks like a fucking gold glover compared to Willie Harris.

[lucienlc]

It's crazy but Bay looks like a fucking gold glover compared to Willie Harris.

As someone said before, the guy who has every right to be afraid of the wall isn't afraid of the wall. Whereas Hairston clearly is.

[Future]

Crap, 8-2. Two runners on. Getting some mad bitch hits this inning.

[Future]

As someone said before, the guy who has every right to be afraid of the wall isn't afraid of the wall. Whereas Hairston clearly is.

Hairston and Harris...they're both afraid of the wall AND Harris can't handle the sun in left.

[lucienlc]

C'mon, Jon. Get through this inning.

[lucienlc]

Sometimes, it's handy that the wall is so deep. LOL!

Carrasco now throwing in the bullpen. But Niese gets through it. Nice job!

[Ramon Suarez]

YAY!

I love how we own the D-Backs!

[Ellis Dee]

Even the pitching is better...but they were getting their act straight a little before Bay came back.

If you look at our runs scored, we are #1 in the NL East. Its just our runs allowed that are KILLING us.
Wow, we're 1 in runs scored. Never wudda guessed that. At least some of those runs allowed are poor OF fielding, bad routes to balls etc. Many I won't put on the pitching that were earned but really gave the opposition extra outs.

[Ramon Suarez]

Wow, we're 1 in runs scored. Never wudda guessed that. At least some of those runs allowed are poor OF fielding, bad routes to balls etc. Many I won't put on the pitching that were earned but really gave the opposition extra outs.

In fairness to the defense, our pitchers have been walking alot of batters too.

[John]

yep threw more changeups and cutters that inning

[Future]

Duda cost us a game by himself with that shitty route he took in right. We have had a whole mess of bad defense in the outfield + flyball pitchers=bad times at Mets high.

[lucienlc]

ME-OW:


D'Antoni on Rajan Rondo: "I’d like to see him play on Minnesota and see how he does. … They’ve got three Hall of Famers out..."

[Bob A. Booey]

Sometimes, it's handy that the wall is so deep. LOL!

Carrasco now throwing in the bullpen. But Niese gets through it. Nice job! mmmm id pull niese right now would you ????????????

[John]

It's not surprising

I mean Reyes, Wright, Tron, Bay, Ike............we have a good lineup.

[Future]

Come on DW, make history.

[lucienlc]

mmmm id pull niese right now would you ????????????

I'd start him in the 7th, but keep Carrasco ready. He's only around 80 some pitches or so.

[Ramon Suarez]

ME-OW:

He's 100% right.

When those guys get older and retire we'll see how overrated Rondo is. l

[John]

Mo Zone FTW lol

[lucienlc]

FU Mo Zone redux

[Dep]

hahahaha, bay is using alive as his AB music

funny

[John]

I will say this

Rondo never played this way when he was at UK. He was never this good lol

[Ellis Dee]

In fairness to the defense, our pitchers have been walking alot of batters too.
True, I'm not saying they're not culpable, but they've also had to get 4 or 5 outs in an inning too.

effing mozone

[Bob A. Booey]

friggin mo zone ....

[Bob A. Booey]

hahahaha, bay is using alive as his AB music

funny can i expect the knick to win or are you still debating ?????

[Ramon Suarez]

Why do I feel like this park takes away more XBHs from our hitters than the opposing team's? Is it me, or am I guilty of selection bias.

[Dep]

can i expect the knick to win or are you still debating ?????

i wouldnt expect them to win

[John]

1-2-3 6th for Mejia

[Ramon Suarez]

1-2-3 6th for Mejia

The test of a true champion is his ability to endure in the face of adversity.

[Bob A. Booey]

i wouldnt expect them to win you are a very very bad man ( wags finger )

[sheadenizen]

In fairness to the defense, our pitchers have been walking alot of batters too.

bet we're near the league leaders in that category.

[lucienlc]

Lennon:


DPLennon Pagan: 19 G, 11 hits, 1 HR, 6 RBI ...... Pridie: 3 G, 2 hits, 1 HR, 3 RBI.

[Dep]

you are a very very bad man ( wags finger )

lol

[Ramon Suarez]

bet we're near the league leaders in that category.

That's probably true.

[lucienlc]

Okay... probably getting to be time to take Niese out.

[Ramon Suarez]

Lennon:

LOL. Small samples sizes FTW!

[Ramon Suarez]

I hate how Jon gets so many bitch hit singles perpetrated against him.

[Future]

Big K. Now get the DP and get out of this.

[Ramon Suarez]

Okay... probably getting to be time to take Niese out.

They aren't hitting the ball hard against him.

[Bob A. Booey]

Okay... probably getting to be time to take Niese out. yeah i would get him outaa there asap ,,,,,we will see

[DL]

lol freddy garcia owning the o's

[Bob A. Booey]

wtf thole ?????

[Ramon Suarez]

Thole WTF?

[Ramon Suarez]

lol freddy garcia owning the o's

The O's bite ass what do you expect?

[Ramon Suarez]

Should that be an earned run on Niese?

[DL]

The O's bite ass what do you expect?

more than 2 hits vs freddy garcia?

[Dep]

irish! hahaha

[Future]

Daniel Murphy!

[John]

Murphy !!!!!!!!!

[Ramon Suarez]

more than 2 hits vs freddy garcia?

Touche.

He must be blessed with that magic potion they sprinkled on Colon when he got there too.

[lucienlc]

Nice play by Murph -- but on first view I thought he was safe.

[Bob A. Booey]

murph dawg yessss,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Irish Terry Conklin]

Nice play there by D Murph!

[Ellis Dee]

Murphster!

[DL]

LOL!

[lucienlc]

Another good, deep starting pitching job. If he wins, this'll be the first in a long, long while for Niese (since he had hit the wall late last year).

[Irish Terry Conklin]

It's an unearned run because of how the rest of the inning played out.

[Dep]

ya, he looked safe

oh well!

[Ramon Suarez]

Niese didn't have a bad inning there. Alot of luck and bad defense by the catcher was the source of that run.

[Ramon Suarez]

It's an unearned run because of how the rest of the inning played out.

I see. The scorer has to wait to see if he had retired the next batter.

[Bob A. Booey]

dep they just showed wash sqaure park having college flashbacks ?????

[Ramon Suarez]

Murphy has been huge this series for the D-Backs.

[lucienlc]

Ike is a hitting machine. But I wanted a HR, damnit!

[DL]

ike davis

[Ramon Suarez]

And Ike is slamming EVERYTHING the past two series.

[Ramon Suarez]

All you had to do was to move the runner over dipshit.

[Bob A. Booey]

slick willie up,,,,

[Ellis Dee]

eh, niese only had 95 pitches

[sheadenizen]

Please do NOT turn this into a save situation for Franke. PLEASE. I beg you!

[Ramon Suarez]

eh, niese only had 95 pitches

Carrasco could use the work.

[sheadenizen]

Thole not having a good year......offensively or defensively.

[Future]

Carrasco could use the work.

And my heart could use the palpitation.

[Ellis Dee]

lol

[Ramon Suarez]

Thole not having a good year......offensively or defensively.

Yep. He and Angel have been definite weak links out there.

[John]

CapN with his 2nd double of the day

[Ramon Suarez]

And my heart could use the palpitation.

LOL. This is the one situation I feel comfortable with him in.

Long relief/mop up duty.

[Ramon Suarez]

CapN with his 2nd double of the day

He rules. Fuck high the BABIP.

[DL]

LOL

[Dep]

lmaoooooooo, from the AA boys. this one might be a lil racist lol

[Ramon Suarez]

OK, I take it back.

[Ellis Dee]

jeesh, batting practice

[Bob A. Booey]

wtf dj ??????????????????????//

[Future]

What a worthless pitcher.

[Dep]

oh ramon

i watched a few eps of that avengers cartoon. i like it a lot. good stuff. love how they're doing back stories for everyone

[DL]

ummmm....

[peejay]

And Ike is slamming EVERYTHING the past two series.

its gotta be the matzah

[Ramon Suarez]

oh ramon

i watched a few eps of that avengers cartoon. i like it a lot. good stuff. love how they're doing back stories for everyone

Dude, its pretty epic. I thought you'd dig it. I really liked the way they handled Ant-Man and Wasp.

You should really watch that Loki animated comic I sent you. I thought it was one of the best stories ever done on him and Thor. They sent the last one a few days ago so it's complete.

[Ramon Suarez]

One worthless pitcher replaces the next.

[DL]

lol byrdak now

[bcuster]

happy easter. we getting healthy feasting on snakemeat..

yepper happy easter and passover

i think i just saw the ant-man back story episode, it was good. i love the "big house" and the other 3 prisons

honestly it confused me for a while, they show those 2 breakout episodes then it wasnt clear they jumped back in the past. i figured it out over time though

i loved Captain America's back story episode, really good

i also love that hulk is smart and can talk, he has some good lines haha

ya, i'll watch the animated comic too at some point, its on the list

[Ramon Suarez]

happy easter. we getting healthy feasting on snakemeat..

How was the bison meat?

wow bird man settle down %$^#^#%^#%&
