Be afraid. Be very afraid.
From Cerrone


The initial lineup today had Jose Reyes hitting third. However, he has since been replaced by Ruben Tejada, who will play shortstop and hit ninth.

…he’s walking around fine in the locker room… or, at least he looks like he has since he’s been here… so, who knows… hopefully, this is no big deal… but, forgive me if i am a bit paranoid… the word from the team is that he needs to go to the doctor to complete his physical… i’m sure that is true, but forgive me for being paranoid when hearing reyes and doctor in the same sentence…

Gary Matthews Jr. will instead bat leadoff today, followed in order by Luis Castillo, David Wright, Jason Bay, Daniel Murphy, Jeff Francoeur, Fernando Tatis, Henry Blanco and Tejada.

R.A. Dickey and his knuckleball will be today’s starting pitcher, with Jenrry Mejia set to pitch in relief.

Today’s game will air on SNY at 1 pm.

[Chris in Ga]

Maybe Reyes needs to get his boaters

[peejay]

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
From Cerrone

which combo is scarier: reyes and doctor or gmj and leadoff

[peejay]

this thread is a month late!

[Lunkwill Fook]

Maybe Jose needed more HGH?

[Lunkwill Fook]

this thread is a month late!

Fuck.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Fixed.

[peejay]

Fuck.

maybe you should take a pregnancy test

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

this thread is a month late!

And I doubt Lunk is really sorry.

[Lunkwill Fook]

maybe you should take a pregnancy test

I've heard of virgin births but I find it difficult to believe I impregnated myself.

[Ed in Westchester]

I fear nothing.

Except for one thing.

Circus folk.

[peejay]

Maybe Jose needed more HGH?

i heard they put it in the maple syrup at the Tim Horton's in Toronto

No fucking way. I'm not delivering a baby AND cutting the cord at the same time.

14 gold medals? from those donut eaters? i mean curling is a given, but they had actual athletes this time.

you are flexible enough to bend over and chew through the cord after the last big push

Nothing much, Lunk. Having my coffee. . .

How's it going with you?

[Lunkwill Fook]

Nothing much, Lunk. Having my coffee. . .

Eh. Some good, some bad. Kinda still in a daze.

[Chris in Ga]

Dep doesn't want 460 posts b4 lunch, he wants 420

[Lunkwill Fook]

Actually, Dep likes 840. 420 before ten to relax him for work, another 420 right before lunch to make him not want to beat someone up.

[Athena]

good morning athena, did you post a picture on my thread yet?

I haven't, PJ. I'm sorry. I don't really have one. I don't have many pictures of myself. But as soon as I have an appropriate one, I'll post it! ;-)

[Lunkwill Fook]

[Athena]

Okay. Here's to an increase in the good and a further lessening of the bad!

One more of those and we reset your post count.

I don't want to make you feel worse, PJ. But that's kind of lame. ;)

[Lunkwill Fook]

Hit list, obviously.

[Chris in Ga]

Second question: why do you feel the need to stalk players, take pictures of their asses and Tats then post them online?

[peejay]

third question: Do you like gladiator movies?

[Lunkwill Fook]

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

[peejay]

I don't want to make you feel worse, PJ. But that's kind of lame. ;)

i don't know what happened....I swear, I wasn't doing actual work.

[peejay]

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

cerrone has spent so much time in the locker room that he has a hard time imagining david wright with his clothes on

[Squadron Nye]

have you ever been in a... in a Turkish prison?

[Athena]

I guess no one wants to answer the Turkish prison question. :-/

[Squadron Nye]

:) They're trying to block it out...

[Lunkwill Fook]

Flashbacks are a bitch.

[Squadron Nye]

truth be told that was a nod to fook's sly airplane quote

[sheadenizen]

Come on Lunk....return it!


Some important hockey equipment has gone missing. The stick and gloves used by Sidney Crosby when he scored the gold medal winning goal in Vancouver. Somehow, in all the celebrating, the stuff got misplaced. And now the Hockey Hall of Fame has come calling for it. I'm sure it was an honest mistake......that'll show up on eBay any second.

[Squadron Nye]

“I’m fine,” Reyes told Adam Rubin of the Daily News. “Nothing serious.”

famous last words

[Chris in Ga]

Final question. Is it true that the rising missing underwear mystery is directly tied to your stay in camp? A follow up. Do you wear them the day after you steal em.

[Athena]

truth be told that was a nod to fook's sly airplane quote

Ha! I know! I know the dialogue from that movie very well!!

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

I was in a prison in Cyprus once, does that count?

Cypriot food is quite delicious.

[Rave]

So Hosey was scratched because he has to find out the results of a blood test? How does that preclude him from playing?

[Squadron Nye]

mc-lite:

* Friday, March 5: Jon Niese vs. Marlins at Tradition Field, and Fernando Nieve vs. Cardinals in Jupiter.

* Saturday, March 6: Mike Pelfrey vs. Nationals in Viera.

* Sunday, March 7: Oliver Perez vs. Nationals at Tradition Field

* Monday, March 8: John Maine vs. Marlins in Jupiter.

* Tuesday, March 9: Johan Santana vs. Astros at Tradition Field

[sheadenizen]

“I’m fine,” Reyes told Adam Rubin of the Daily News. “Nothing serious.”
Nothing serious? OMG. sorry, but that scares the shit out of me!

[Rave]

It also aggravates me that Lil Sarge is getting the PSL starts. It runs counter to Jerry’s assertion that Angel has dibs on CF.

[Squadron Nye]

So Hosey was scratched because he has to find out the results of a blood test? How does that preclude him from playing?

I don't buy it either. Maybe it's a procedural matter? He wasn't medically cleared to play because he needed a follow up on his physical? I dunno but it seems fishy.

[Chris in Ga]

He better not have the clap

[sheadenizen]

He better not have the clap

Truthfully, that would be fine with me. It wouldn't effect his running...right. :)

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Or have gotten pink eye from K Rod. You know what that means if he did? K Rod farts on the Mets pillows.

[Lunkwill Fook]

truth be told that was a nod to fook's sly airplane quote

To his credit, pj actually started the airplane quotage. Surely, you noticed that.

[Rave]

Avoid the clap, Jimmy Dougan.

an itchy crotch isn't conducive to running fast

i did notice that, and stop calling me shirley

Actually no, I didn't. And don't call me Shirley

thats funny, pj never has a second cup of coffee at home

[sheadenizen]

an itchy crotch isn't conducive to running fast

Maybe that's how Jer is curtailing his running. Batting third? Get the clap? All part of Manuel's master plan.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Actually no, I didn't. And don't call me Shirley

IT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PLANE ALTOGETHER!

I just want to tell you, good luck. We're all counting on you.

Jose heading to the hospital? What is it?

Jose heading to the hospital? What is it?

It's a big building with patients. But that's not important right now

[peejay]

it really has taken on a life of its own now, hasn't it?

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

(Come on, people, don't leave me hanging)

I'm sorry, I don't speak jive.

[Lunkwill Fook]

I heard there's a bomb on the plane, by the way.

I love that they call Henry Blanco...Hank White! Funny!

[Squadron Nye]

does anyone consider mike jacobs in his best years a real mlb first basemen?

[Squadron Nye]

hehe my money is on francouer for coining that

[sheadenizen]

does anyone consider mike jacobs in his best years a real mlb first basemen?

honestly? it was another case of fitting round pegs in square holes. Jacobs could hit HRs...find him a position. Murphy could hit ( anyway, he used to be able to hit...hahaha) find him a position. As scary as it is, Murphy is probably a better 1st baseman...defense wise.

[peejay]

does anyone consider mike jacobs in his best years a real mlb first basemen?

no but for 10 games he was the greatest 1st baseman ever

[Lunkwill Fook]

Well, he's had a 100 OPS+ or better all but one year so I'd call him a major league player. Just not a particularly great hitting 1st baseman.

[Storkinator]

I think Murphy is a better all around player than Jacobs, but that's not really saying much. And unless he proves everyone wrong this season, I still don't think Murphy is an everyday player. Let's hope this Davis kid pans out. The Mets sure think the world of him.

[Tim]

ahhh. I missed Airplane quotes.....For the last 48 minutes, I was busy dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court

[Squadron Nye]

He's a hitter alright.... I wonder if DHing screwed him up a bit. I'm very meh on his numbers for 1B. Everyone is assuming he's going to be the lefty bat off the bench though

[sheadenizen]

ahhh. I missed Airplane quotes.....For the last 48 minutes, I was busy dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court

Were they heavy? Are you tired?

super busy morning. will be on this afternoon

everyone have a good one till then

[Squadron Nye]

Jones also made it known he isn't a huge fan of Citi Field. Of course, Jones made a career of tormenting the Mets at Shea Stadium.

"Whoever was in charge of [Citi Field] was really trying to get cute," Jones said. "And while I don't mind the dimensions, some of the nooks and crannies I'm not a big fan of."


larry sounding off

[sheadenizen]

After hitting few HR's last year, the mets seem desperate....whether they care to admit it or not. That's why I think he gets the nod. One word. POWER!

[Squadron Nye]

No, a bomb.

Took you people long enough.

DAMMIT
missed that one. I'm off today

[Lunkwill Fook]

larry sounding off

He's just jealous because Turner Field is the least inspired stadium built in the last 30 years.

[Ed in Westchester]

I could NOT care less what that asshole thinks about CitiField.

Fuck him with a syphilitic cock in the ass and the mouth.

(sorry ladies)

[Lunkwill Fook]

Well, that and the fact that our left handed power bat off the bench last year was.... Marlon Anderson?

[Ed in Westchester]

DAMMIT

Why should today be any different?

BOOM!

[sheadenizen]

Hate larry. Love the quote. He's right. Another example of the mets' stupidity.

PORT ST. LUCIE -- Mets shortstop Jose Reyes was scratched from Thursday's lineup for follow-up lab work related to his team physical.

Reyes said Thursday after a second round of blood work that he feels fine and it's not related to the torn hamstring that sidelined him most of last season.

"They tell me what I have to do is more important than the game today, so I have to make sure I am ready to go when I step on the field," Reyes said. "It's nothing with my leg."

Reyes is scheduled to have another doctor's appointment Thursday afternoon. He did not provide any specific reasons for the tests except to say that it's part of a routine physical.

"They do the tests because they want to make sure everything is fine," Reyes said.

Reyes was removed from Tuesday's lineup along with several other regular starters because of wet field conditions.

I'm not sure what "inspiration" you're looking for. Please don't tell me the nationals stadium is inspired. Turner Field works quite well imo.

[Squadron Nye]

Tropicana field inspires Costcos everywhere

[sheadenizen]

And the Pittsburgh stadium is "inspired" if you sit in the upper level....then it's spectacular. From field level, it looks like every other stadium. What's inspired is that they made the surrounding area a place where people want to hang out before and after games. Not true in Atlanta, NY or Washington, DC.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Turner is an ok field. I saw the Mets get completely dominated by Maddux there in 2003. I think Jae Seo was pitching for the Mets, didn't do that bad of a job actually.

[Lunkwill Fook]

I'm not sure what "inspiration" you're looking for. Please don't tell me the nationals stadium is inspired. Turner Field works quite well imo.

It's just uninteresting to me as a television fan and I'm not talking about fancy wall angles and stuff. It just looks blah. It LOOKS like it was created for the Olympic games much like Olympic Stadium in Montreal did.

[Athena]

He's just jealous because Turner Field is the least inspired stadium built in the last 30 years.

Eh. He's right. I'm not the slightest bit interested in his opinion on our field, but he's not wrong.

Very true. Although they ARE working on DC. There's a big shopping/restaurant area being built right outside the centerfield gate as we speak. Now if only they'd factored in parking as well....

I hate to say it, but I love CBP. I think it's actually my fave ballpark. Believe me, it doesn't make me happy to say that....although I do think Citi has better food.

[Athena]

And I should add, that I don't think Citifield is the disaster that a lot of people claim. It has some flaws, but it is beautiful, IMO. And it's gotten tarred with the same brush as the rest of the season and taken an unfair portion of the blame for the team's weaknesses. Hard to love a stadium that has brought so many painful, frustrating moments in such a short time.

I think people's minds will change about it, whenever the overall performance starts to improve. When Wright, Beltran and Reyes start hitting HR's, people are going to get mighty fond of those walls! ;-)

I actually do like CBP a lot (not the surrounding area though) and I love the BBQ place there. That being said, PNC is still my fave.

[Squadron Nye]

I hate to say it, but I love CBP. I think it's actually my fave ballpark. Believe me, it doesn't make me happy to say that....although I do think Citi has better food.

It's pretty sweet from all angles, too bad they made it a band box. Have you ever been to the bar/restaurant that sits between the gates before gametime?

[sheadenizen]

It's pretty sweet from all angles, too bad they made it a band box. Have you ever been to the bar/restaurant that sits between the gates before gametime?

Yep, I have Nye. Is that what they're doing with Mcfaddens? Not sure where it's going?
The other problem with Citi...which is not the mets' fault is that there is no drinking in the parking lot which curtails tailgating parties. And there is no where else to go. In Philly, they have parking lots designated for tail gating.
The fact that it's a band box doesn't seem to have hurt the Phils.
The fact that they made Citi a "pitchers park" seems to have hurt no one but the mets......lol!

[Squadron Nye]

Yep, I have Nye. Is that what they're doing with Mcfaddens? Not sure where it's going?


It's going in the outfield by the bullpen entrance and will be accessible from inside and outside the stadium.


The other problem with Citi...which is not the mets' fault is that there is no drinking in the parking lot which curtails tailgating parties.

Count me as a rule breaker then. I don't do hardcore tailgating but Saturday night games are my favorite tailgaiting at shea

[Lunkwill Fook]

Really? No tailgating at Citi? WTF?

[sheadenizen]

It's going in the outfield by the bullpen entrance and will be accessible from inside and outside the stadium.



Count me as a rule breaker then. I don't do hardcore tailgating but Saturday night games are my favorite tailgaiting at shea
I like the acessibility from inside and out.

Many people have broken the rule, Nye. Me included. But it's not as much fun when you're constantly watching out for security. They give out many many tickets. And it really isn't conducive to large groups, which is why we've never been able to do Geek Day at Shea or Citi. Pretty sad!

[sheadenizen]

For the record, here's the mets policy on tailgating:
Tailgating will be permitted only under the following conditions:

* There will be no open flames of any type.
* Fans may only use one parking stall.
* Fans may not consume alcohol.
* Fans may not engage in any inappropriate behavior.

Failure to comply with any of the above conditions may result in their removal from the parking lots or summoning of NYP

So no barbecuing and no beer. Have fun all!

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

There's a bar about a 10 mins walk down Roosevelt Ave called El Chicano. $20 for a 6'er of Coronas. The only thing is that ud. tiene que hablar espanol con el portero.

Sorry, I think it stinks that you can't actually tailgate.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Well, technically you weren't allowed to have an open flame at Nats Park either but no one really follows that rule. The no drinking part is totally lame though especially since you have mass transit nearby.

[Ed in Westchester]

Sorry, I think it stinks that you can't actually tailgate.

It really sucks.

Back in the day, they were not such hardasses about it, so long as the beer was in a cup, not a can or bottle. Heck I did my share of grilling in the parking lot.

The problem, as always, is the fucking lawyers (love you honey!).

The city, which owns the parking lot, is afraid to get sued if some asshole hurts somebody in the lot, or if someone gets burned.

[Ed in Westchester]

LOL


Rac faced hills that wouldn't quit in New Jersey, Labradors on the loose in North Carolina and a four-lane freeway without a shoulder in Florida. He pitched his tent on high school campuses and golf courses. In Jacksonville, first baseman Daniel Murphy was generous enough to let Racaniello stay in his yard, but the sprinklers went off at 1 a.m. Every night Racaniello checked in with Wright, who reminded him what baseball players always tell themselves: "Take it day by day."

[sheadenizen]

ding, ding, ding Ed. The Mets didn't own the parking at Shea. They turned a blind eye many times. Now...they have the liability!

[sheadenizen]

Could someone explain to me why a guy like Racaniello doesn't get a chance to be a major league catcher...or is that a choice he makes...or is being a bullpen catcher different than being a regular catcher. ( of course I realize you don't hit...but then again neither do any of our recent or current catchers. ) I'm not sure what the distinction is. But this guy seems like a tough guy. I like him!

[sheadenizen]

1/2 inning over....
Mets coming to bat. Cards did not score.

[sheadenizen]

Must credit GMj. Hit a fly ball to CF..busted it all the way and made it 2nd . CF booted the ball.

So no barbecuing and no beer. Have fun all!

So many people use propane tanks there though. The people I tailgate with always put the beer in cups. I've never been harassed once, it's so weird.

Oops..just came back. Missed jason bay's mets debut. Have no idea what happened.

announced they will hold their annual Anthem Search Monday,
March 8 at 11:00 a.m. at Citi Field for the opportunity to sing the
National Anthem prior to a 2010 Mets home game.

opportunity to perform a song of their choice – excluding the
National Anthem – a cappella.

Like she'll be in any condition to fill out the birth certificate after the baby is born. There's your window of opportunity, SEIZE IT.

[Squadron Nye]

Haha nah

[Squadron Nye]

The Mets are 635-648-10

York went 18-15-1 last year.
The Mets best spring training winning
percentage is .655 (19-10) in 1988...The
most wins New York has recorded in spring
is 21 in 1994..

[sheadenizen]

haha

i thought mejia was supposed to see some action today

i read that too ( Cerrone?) but didn't see his name when they listed the pitchers for today.

[Squadron Nye]

SPRING BIRTHDAYS: Lefthanded pitcher Johan Santana will
turn 31 on March 13th.

[peejay]

[sheadenizen]

great googleymoogley, i do get the game

I take back everything bad I said about texas.....
naw, never mind...I don't!

[peejay]

dickey is in trouble. 1st and 2nd - no outs

[peejay]

bases jacked

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

dickey is in trouble. 1st and 2nd - no outs

Time for a meeting at the mound and the hidden ball trick.

[Tim]

Goin ta KC tomorrow for a BBQ tasting...should be interesting.....maybe?

[Squadron Nye]

dickey is in trouble. 1st and 2nd - no outs

[Rave]

Evan MacLane is an ex-Met farmhand. How'd St. Loo get him?

[peejay]

sac fly 3-2

[sheadenizen]

see, john...just like always.....you say how well dickey is pitching and then boom.....
bases loaded and no out
sac fly
3-2

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Goin ta KC tomorrow for a BBQ tasting...should be interesting.....maybe?

Not as interesting if we ever saw you on XBox live for NHL10.

[Future]

Dickey has gotten very wild.

[peejay]

why are they playing sny in texas

i don't know, but i am not asking. i have it in regular and HD - too bad i don't have an hd tv.


DICKEY IN HD!

[peejay]

gmj got no defense in CF. 4-3 cards

[Future]

4-3 Cards. Matthews sucks.LOL (not his fault at all) that ball was crushed.

[Future]

Now Dickey walks his second of the inning.

[DL]

lol dickey

[Lunkwill Fook]

Knuckleballers. Eh.

[DL]

dickey is no wakefield

[peejay]

5-3

dickey suckey

[Future]

5-3 Cards.

[Future]

Dickey pulled.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Dickey pulled.

Uhhhhhhhhhh huh huh hehhehheh hehehhehh

[sheadenizen]

Just imagine what the score would be if the cards actually brought ball players with them.

[peejay]

toby stoner hits jay to load the bases

[sheadenizen]

Stoner loads the bases.

[peejay]

inning over without further damage

[Future]

Stoner loads the bases then strikes out the last guy looking. 5-3 after 3.

[peejay]

4-3 Cards. Matthews sucks.LOL (not his fault at all) that ball was crushed.

i am not going to kill him, but he was playing shallow. he didn't have a chance b/c of where he was standing when the ball was hit.

[Chris in Ga]

According to Rubin, Reyes is cleared to play

[peejay]

1st and 2nd no outs for DW

GMJ and little castles setting the table

[peejay]

DW Ks looking

[Future]

DW ks looking, the ball was low and about 4 inches off the plate. LOL.

[DL]

david sucks again

[sheadenizen]

There's the David we know and love!

[peejay]

bases jacked for murphy

[peejay]

gmj scores on a heads up play. SF murphy? not sure if they score it an error

[Future]

Hahaha. Epic Fail. Murphy keeps swinging at Ball 4 until he finally hits a shallow fly ball to center. CF throws to the pitcher who cuts it off because GMJr is heading back to third, hits the pitcher's glove and heads into foul territory and he scores a run.

5-4.

Yeah, Spring Training! Woo!

[peejay]

murphy skies to shallow center, throw home bounces off a glove an towards the dugout. matthews scores

[Future]

gmj scores on a heads up play. SF murphy? not sure if they score it an error

They're giving the error to the OFer even though the throw was perfect.

Frenchy groundsout to second. End of the threat.

[sheadenizen]

GMJ scored in the first on a heads up play. He's the only astute ballplayer they have. Jerry will fall in love with him.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Ducks on the pond.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Murphy has obviously been taking lessons from Frenchy.

[peejay]

big pelf talks with a half smile going up the side of his face

[sheadenizen]

Ducks on the pond.

ducks drowned

[Future]

1-2-3 for Stoner.

[Athena]

Time for a meeting at the mound and the hidden ball trick.

They should have attempted this. It NEVER fails! ;-)

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

They should have attempted this. It NEVER fails! ;-)

If Rooke of the Year ever taught me anything.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Then again the Cubs were playing the Hollywood version of the Mets in that movie for the NL pennant, goat fuckers.

[sheadenizen]

I just have to reiterate how much I don't like Tatis. I'll try to refrain from mentioning it 347 times throughout the season.

[Lunkwill Fook]

If Rooke of the Year ever taught me anything.

That move in RotY was SOOOOOO illegal.

[Athena]

If Rooke of the Year ever taught me anything.

Heh! I was watching that movie the other day. It's very fun!

[Future]

1-2-3 inning for the Cards pitcher.

[peejay]

reyes in the batting cage. appears to be ok

[peejay]

ludwick smash

6-4

[Future]

Ludwick bomb to right. 6-4 Cards.

[Athena]

That move in RotY was SOOOOOO illegal.

Well, sure. If you want to get all technical and stuff. :p

[peejay]

murphy looks athletic at first base

nice play

[Lunkwill Fook]

Well, sure. If you want to get all technical and stuff. :p

hahah It's just funny. You know they knew that and just went "fuck it".

[Squadron Nye]

that movie taught me everything I know about baseball
