8/8/2010 - Enjoying Some Homegrown

[littlefallsmets]

You know.

Home grown... players.

That is entirely what I mean.

Lets go Mets.

[Dep]

[Dep]

lol...



Isiah Thomas nearly climbed the corporate ladder from consultant to Knicks president on Day 1 of his new job with the club.

The Daily News has learned that Donnie Walsh considered resigning after Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan made the controversial move to hire Thomas, but Walsh decided to continue running the team despite his objections to Thomas having a role in the front office.

"Donnie finds this entire thing distasteful," said one NBA source. "He's had second thoughts about staying but he wants to finish the job."

Walsh, who did not return phone calls yesterday, is under contract through 2012. Last month, he denied a published report that he was contemplating retirement for health reasons.

[sheadenizen]

lol...

Ubelievable. Poor DL. He not only has to deal with the Wilpons, but with Dolan as well. It could drive a sane person crazy........hey wait....oh! nevermind :)

[Dep]

hahaha

let go jose

[Dep]

NICE! whoo

[Danny]

[littlefallsmets]

How sad is that for Wilson Valdez, hitting lower than The Schnide.

The unkindest cut.

JOSE!

[Danny]

Gotta take chances like that against Halladay. Good call too

[Danny]

[littlefallsmets]

Oh God. Bunts. DRINK.

[sheadenizen]

Wow!! Jose! I told you Jose needed to run. And Angel didn't bunt. Someone must have slapped jerry silly last night!

[littlefallsmets]

Yes!

No more non-pitchers bunting before the eighth inning. Burn it into Jerry's forehead with a fucking brand, THE STARS MY DESTINATION style.

[Chris in Ga]

[sheadenizen]

[sheadenizen]

and Danny, too!

[Chris in Ga]

For those who missed it


Matt Den Dekker promoted from GCL Mets to Savannah and Jordany Valdespin promoted from St Lucie to Binghamton..

[Dep]

valdespin has a whole new set of teammates to piss off!

[sheadenizen]

RA! RA! RA! Go RA!

[littlefallsmets]

Youth and speed, speed and youth, go together like me and truth. hahahaha

[sheadenizen]

valdespin has a whole new set of teammates to piss off!

that's how they suspended him? Got him out of town and moved him to Bingy...or wherever the hell they sent him?

[peejay]

what was that shit

[Dep]

what shit

[Chris in Ga]

valdespin has a whole new set of teammates to piss off!

Hopefully, Five Finger Discount will steal some bases instead of teammate's trust.

[littlefallsmets]

If F can ever figure out how to stay healthy, he'll develop as a hitter. He just needs continuity and time.

ALSO: Dickey really likes fielding.

[peejay]

what shit

the ump slamming the ball in dickey's mit

[littlefallsmets]

Dickey stands tall!

[Dep]

Hopefully, Five Finger Discount will steal some bases instead of teammate's trust.

haha

RAD looked good, lots of fastballs

[Chris in Ga]

the ump slamming the ball in dickey's mit

Little man envy?

[peejay]

[DL]

LOL

wtf this inning is almost over

[Chris in Ga]

how is it that the ncaa isn't cracking down on isiah's new position? is it cause he isn't a poor student or something?

I dont get how this is not a conflict of interest.

[peejay]

dickey and doc are fast on the clock

[Bob A. Booey]

LOL

[Danny]

WTF is Beltran doing

[peejay]

jump

[Dep]

[Chris in Ga]

That ball just carried and carried.

[Danny]

He wasn't gonna catch it but he usually knows where he is on the field. Just weird

[Dep]

nsfw n stuff

http://girlcameramirror.tumblr.com/archive/

i dare you not to look

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Don't think he woulda had that anyway.

[DL]

sucks

something tells me 2 runs won't be enough

[Dep]

He wasn't gonna catch it but he usually knows where he is on the field. Just weird

the brace hurts his brains

[four3two1]

Beltran totally should've jumped for that...real close

[sheadenizen]

I dont get how this is not a conflict of interest.

I read where the NBA was looking into it. They think it may not be allowable.

[DL]

ugh

[sheadenizen]

Beltran should have been sitting today.

[Bob A. Booey]

He wasn't gonna catch it but he usually knows where he is on the field. Just weird hes gotta jump at least ,, weired hes played there what 25 games ???????

[peejay]

endy endy endy

[DL]

dickey struggling a bit with control and shit

[Chris in Ga]

The Mets will not need a fifth starter until Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field. So that's when Hisanori Takahashi is expected to reenter the rotation. Takahashi's last start came July 31, when he limited the Arizona Diamondbacks to one run in six innings.

Taka on geekday

[Dep]

[Bob A. Booey]

hearing frenchy is going to be playing against a lot of RHP makes my ears bleed.

die jerry dieeeeeeeee ditto why call him up to let him sit on the bench so much ???? i hope they trade smiley for a bulpen arm of some sort ,,,,,,

[DL]

lol someone give me shit to say to valent

[lucienlc]

I'm not comfortable with the way Dickey was pitching those first two innings. He didn't seem to have good control of his knuckler. And if he keeps having to throw the fastball, eventually the Phils will tee off on him.

Cmon, RA!

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

I don't want to hear about how the Phillies are hanging in there, they have more than adequate pitching and this is the first week that they had Howard/Utley/Victorino out at the same time.

[Dep]

arrrrrgh

[Bob A. Booey]

wtf jose
?????????????????????????????

[peejay]

josuck

[DL]

roy1 appears to be settling in after the 1st

[lucienlc]

You can't take seriously anything that Jerry says. He changes his mind fifteen times a day.

Damnit, Reyes. FOCUS.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Crap Jose. Get another ground ball RA to eliminate that error.

[Bob A. Booey]

I don't want to hear about how the Phillies are hanging in there, they have more than adequate pitching and this is the first week that they had Howard/Utley/Victorino out at the same time.
it helps when you have 3 great starters totally agree man ,,,

[peejay]

gidp gload

[Dep]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[DL]

goddamnit

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

You can't take seriously anything that Jerry says. He changes his mind fifteen times a day.

Damnit, Reyes. FOCUS.

Jerry probably doesn't know what a platoon means.

Fuck these seeing eye hits.

[Bob A. Booey]

[peejay]

[Dep]

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

[DL]

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

It doesn't matter anymore, this team can't keep focus for more than one game at a time.

[peejay]

frenchy def took them out on the town last night

[DL]

lol what a joke these guys are

[Dep]

lol


Knicks president Donnie Walsh is livid that Isiah Thomas is back in the organization and feels his standing with the franchise could be compromised by owner James Dolan's decision to rehire Thomas, The Post has learned.

According to a Knicks source, Walsh told Thomas in a face-to-face meeting two weeks ago he did not want him working for the organization. Dolan and Thomas had agreed that Thomas could fill the team's general manager vacancy if Walsh was OK with it.

When Walsh told Thomas he objected, Thomas went back to Dolan, who still has a love affair with the Hall of Famer and seemingly is on a mission to rehab Thomas' image.

Walsh, who had thought the Isiah issue was dead, was not debriefed until after the hiring was agreed upon, and he reluctantly put his name on a joint statement with Dolan. It was only recently that Walsh found out Thomas had been in Dolan's ear for months, offering free advice.

Some of Dolan's top advisors, including Garden president Hank Ratner, tried to talk Dolan out of naming Thomas as a consultant because of the public-relations backlash.

"Donnie doesn't want him there, nobody wants him there but Dolan," the team source said. "Isiah seems to have Jim wrapped around his finger."

[Bob A. Booey]

frenchy def took them out on the town last night i bet nthey had a blow out for cora and they are all hungover,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[sheadenizen]

[sheadenizen]

i knew 2 in a row was too much to ask.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Why weren't Pelfrey's mechanical/delivery issues addressed earlier? Three words, Dan Fucking Warthen.

[DL]

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

That was terrible David. I'd rather have Hessman right now.

[DL]
