[Peter H]

Let's Go Mets!

[Dep]

BEAT THOSE BRAVES

they're doing construction on the floor above me. it sounds like they are going to drill into my head soon

I think that means time to go home!

[Peter H]

LMAO


KenTremendous : My only question about the Moneyball movie is: how braggy is Billy Beane that he wrote, produced, and is starring in a movie about himself?!

[Dep]

RAD for GUV'NER

[Peter H]

"THE KNUCKLEBALL IS TOO DAMN SLOW!"

[Peter H]

*crickets*

[Dep]

haha, dep going home. GO METS/RAD

[sheadenizen]

Go Guys!

[bahktin]

Mr J Reyes!

[Peter H]

Nice, Jose!

Come on, Ginger!

[sheadenizen]

padres DFA'd Jorge Cantu. I coveted him years ago. Too late now Jorge.

[Peter H]

Whew, that was close...

[sheadenizen]

Nice, Jose!

Come on, Ginger!

I love our nicknames for players......lol!

[Peter H]

Good eye, Ginger.

[Peter H]

Nasty changeup. Gotta tip my hat to Minor there.

[Peter H]

Damn. It's up to Bay now.

[peejay]

this lineup is pretty good. tejada should be higher up in the order, but all things considered it looks like we could put up a crooked number

[Peter H]

Well, that sucked.

[JayTee415]

ay carumba wtf are they swinging at????
and where in the hell is this umps strike zone????

[peejay]

bay batting 5 is not so much

[JayTee415]

.

[Peter H]

Bay should be batting 10th.

[JohnInSouthJersey]

...Wouldn't surprise me if the least of Atlanta's starters gives the Mets the most trouble.

[JohnInSouthJersey]

...Same situation. They won't score either. Right! :-(

[Peter H]

Argh. Dickey walks Heyward on 4 pitches.

[Peter H]

...Same situation. They won't score either. Right! :-(

Who are you? DL? ;)

[Peter H]

This ump's strike zone sucks, though.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Inevitable

[JayTee415]

Props to Petruccio for paying tribute to the kid in his drawing today...

# 8.....

[four3two1]

ATL's got some hot waitresses in the area behind home plate

[Peter H]

Come on, DP, here

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Weird noises from the crowd.

[Peter H]

Nice K, Dickey

[four3two1]

SurfingTheMets Last night, Mets clinched 6th road series win of the season. Won 5 road series all last year.


ROFFLz

[DL]

BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Peter H]

Good job, Dickey.

LOL at the camerawork on that one, BTW

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Need a Hairston homer.

[JohnInSouthJersey]

PH:

Who are you? DL?

Not me!

I'm agnostic, and I CRINGE when he curses a supposed God. :-( :-)

[Dep]

awwww losing? that's an odd feeling

go mets

[DL]

i don't believe in god until the mets get fucked over

[four3two1]

God's agnostic...he's not sure if I exist

[lucienlc]

awwww losing? that's an odd feeling

go mets

did you see the graphic on how we do when the Braves score first at home? It's very scary. Something like 6-65 since we won the first three road games there.

[DL]

we're pretty much not going to score any runs tonight

[sheadenizen]

i don't believe in god until the mets get fucked over

LOL! you are incorrigible!

[Chris in Ga]

After striking out 14 his last start, Tommy Hanson has shoulder tendonititis. Missing start vs Texas tomorrow

[Dep]

[sheadenizen]

After striking out 14 his last start, Tommy Hanson has shoulder tendonititis. Missing start vs Texas tomorrow

Texas is a mess right night. I could throw a shut out against them. But I'm sure they'll be all healed and ready to go when we see them!

[DL]

[four3two1]

[lucienlc]

The Ginger Man is back! And still driving 'em in!

[Dep]

there are amazingly no baseball links anymore to watch online

[Chris in Ga]

I just texted my friend "150 ft Bloop Triple. Jose Reyes > Your Favorite Player." If somehow we pull this out, I have soooooo much ammo for the fairweathered Braves fans

[lucienlc]

Thats shit the Mets would do.

Nice to see someone else do it for a change, isn't it?

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Maybe rattling Minor a bit.

[Chris in Ga]

Beltran is due for a Blast

[Dep]

bahhhhh they call everything a swing now

he went tho that time imo

[Dep]

we can destroy this guy. BURY HIM

[Dep]

damn! close.

[Chris in Ga]

Mike Minor is only their 8th best starter

[sheadenizen]

Come on guys....Carlos, kill one!

[lucienlc]

StevePopper Reyes has 100 hits in 66 games - beating franchise record of 72 games held by Lance Johnson by 6. Wow.

.

[DL]

braves have UNLIMITED ARMS

[bahktin]

Come on BEltran - JayTee's belief is waning ....

[DL]

.

start gunning for ichiro's record

[lucienlc]

BrianCostaWSJ Jose Reyes. Insert superlative here. Repeat on nightly basis.

LOL!

[sheadenizen]

braves have UNLIMITED ARMS

it's no joke. they do.

[bahktin]

ncie at bat regardless ....

[Dep]

Come on BEltran - JayTee's belief is waning ....

[sheadenizen]

LOL!

too much love from the beat writers. it's getting scary!

[peejay]

nice ab by moleman

[JayTee415]

Sir Tron

[DL]

TRON

[sheadenizen]

sac fly! Yes!

[Chris in Ga]

MURPH!

[lucienlc]

Hit would be nicer, but that's okay. 2-1 good guys!

[Dep]

that'll do irish, too bad tron couldnt move up too

2-1 good guys

lets get tron home

[Dep]

what did bay do AB1?

[peejay]

hammer!

[lucienlc]

brought home 14 of last 17 from third with less than two outs.

[Dep]

come on bayyyyy. drive him home

[peejay]

what did bay do AB1?

sucked on ballz

[bahktin]

what did bay do AB1?

Fly out to Right - nice swing.

[Chris in Ga]

.154 with RISP for Bay. I cant believe he is worse at something than hitting in normal situations

[Dep]

LOL

thanks guys

[sheadenizen]

what did bay do AB1?

flied out

[DL]

come on bay

[Chris in Ga]

Tron would have had that base

[Dep]

I love the dismay in his face after every meatball he fouls off

[Chris in Ga]

Tron was saved!

[Dep]

dammit. he hit that hard

tron verrry lucky. very bad baserunning

[sheadenizen]

wow...thank you gonzalez!

[bahktin]

IS it a rule for AtL braves manager to be corpulently fat. New manager getting as fat as old one ...

[Ellis Dee]

lol

[DL]

blech

[lucienlc]

I love the way this team approaches ABs this year.

More great fielding by Atlanta. Beltran totallly screwed that one up, but was lucky they dropped the ball.

[Dep]

LMAO @ Hale screaming at him

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Fredi's Braves ain't like Bobby's Braves.

[Irish Terry Conklin]

Gotta break there! Not good baserunning there by Tron! Lol at Bay having no extra base hits in the last 70+ ABs

[JayTee415]

%

[sheadenizen]

Blech!

[Dep]

dammit, that could've been a hit too

oh well, got the lead at least. we'll get more

[lucienlc]

StevePopper People talk about Bonds, R. Henderson, but only player I can compare Reyes to now is Bugs Bunny in the cartoon where he plays all positions.

:-)

[four3two1]

Gotta break there! Not good baserunning there by Tron! Lol at Bay having no extra base hits in the last 70+ ABs

i wonder what his BABIP is

[Chris in Ga]

IS it a rule for AtL braves manager to be corpulently fat. New manager getting as fat as old one ...

Varsity after every game. You get a discount with a ticket stub He is cheap so he trades a ticket stub for an autograph with a kid and goes to the Varsity after every home game

[sheadenizen]

Come on RAD. Hold them here!

[peejay]

Varsity after every game. You get a discount with a ticket stub He is cheap so he trades a ticket stub for an autograph with a kid and goes to the Varsity after every home game

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm chili dog and peach pie

[lucienlc]

Media guys are lovin' Reyes:


BrianCostaWSJ Didn't see Rickey in his prime, but I've never seen someone who isn't a pitcher or power hitter completely dominate games like Jose is doing

[four3two1]

Ledger_NYMets Jose Reyes really needs to start using this as his walk-up music.

.

[Dep]

Bay

BABIP 279 (career 325)
LD% 15% (career 18%)


it lines up, not a lot of luck, bad or good.

luck no
suck yes!

[JayTee415]

Media guys are lovin' Reyes:

what's not to love?

[four3two1]

Steve Popper

Winner (Delgado gets assist) RT @DPLennon: Jerry Manuel, 2008 RT @MikeVacc: Gary Cohen just speculated Reyes is having best half-season in #Mets history. Any other candidates?,

[JayTee415]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm chili dog and peach pie

sweet taters and okra......

[Dep]

this little dipshit that cant hit has a shot vs the knuckler i guess

[lucienlc]

DPLennon Somebody on the Braves might want to tell Gonzalez there's a game going on right now.

LOL!

[Dep]

lol

beat writers frisky

[JayTee415]

,

maybe eddie kranepool ?

[DL]

bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Dep]

fudggggggggggggge

come on dickey

[four3two1]

Ledger_NYMets Chris Carter once said his greatest skill was being able to hit a hard groundball to 2B. Playing behind Jose this year, he'd have 100 RBI.




MetsWFAN Bloop triple. It's Jose. #PayTheMan
.

[lucienlc]

what's not to love?

Yes, but usually they're so cynical and jaded. Pleasant to see they can appreciate what we all see.

That was not so good by Reyes, though he had some excuse.

[sheadenizen]

BTW guys...we also play the Tigers in interleague. we forgot them. i'm sure we'll get verlander. is there any doubt.

[DL]

bravesmetssince1997

[four3two1]

the worst part is you're where i was a few wks ago when we first talked about it and i had actually put him outta my mind more or less and stayed away, but of course now i went & looked

ask him why beltran would take guys like pagan and duda under his wing, doesnt publicize it and how that's about "his contract"

[DL]

nothing good ever lasts for this team

you know who i blame

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

We can get to Minor. Just not their bullpen.

[Peter H]

Actually if we trade Reyes maybe he can go to the Phillies and we can get Shane to take Bay's spot lol.

Reyes can back up Utley lol

BAN

I don't think TC will be around for the late innings.......

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

[Dep]

HOW DARE YOU

lol, sorry

[Chris in Ga]

ya, 1 braves fan i dont hate

I didnt see what she looked like but I can assure you there are plenty of Braves fans that you wont hate.
