Open Thread: Mets vs Braves, 4/27/2008
Nelson Figueroa vs John Smoltz (Baseball-Reference.com Preview) Eric Simon has far too much time on his hands. He sleeps upside-down, keeps people as pets, and can be found on the internets at Amazin' Avenue or bothered directly at eric@metsgeek.com. 655 Responses to “Open Thread: Mets vs Braves, 4/27/2008”Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment. |

he just turned 25 though - i wouldn’t totally write him off yet…apparently he fast-tracked his way through the Marlins system b/c of injuries (a regular mike pelfrey) but he was a top prospect for them at that point
Oh, when you said you were intrigued with Vargas. I thought you meant the one that did cartoons for playboy. ;)
HAHA, Wait…You read the cartoons? lol
haha yeah, but that’s as far as I’ll go!
So, I missed the game, but i recorded it.
Sounds like big D had a good game!
he did ellis - he was even IBBed at one point!
ha, the Braves felt threatened by D!
I figured he would catch some fortune at some point.
Didn’t think it would be so soon the way things were
going. I’m NOT complaining!
personally knocked down approx 30 lbs of bison meat & acraps; makes foe great dreams…
well, I have to record my speech on the evolution of the starting pitcher. it is due at midnight central time so I got 4 1/2 hrs but should only need one or two hundred takes
Ive had a buffalo burger before Custer. Pretty Tasty.
You definatly need to talk about Nolan Ryan Chris. That dude was a freak of nature
Metswin - I think Liriano was sent to AAA.
Del-Got-Two today eh?
Nice win.
Oh Ok thats why he relesaed him. I guess I dont want him. Im so pitching starved that I was thinking of picking up Figs. I really just need wins, my era is good.
I did pick up Jugeen Lotion boy, lol
ellis - the IBB was even before his 2nd HR! Tough luck for him now though, i think they’re facing a bunch of lefties this week. would be nice if he got hot
I picked up Saunders and Volquez a week ago. So maybe it will turn around for me.
My offense on the team is sick. Chipper, Fielder, Tejada, Chase Utley
2008 - who else is available? I just picked up Lannan and he has been great - but he is not gonna win too many games!
wait, are there only 3 teams in your league?! how can you have that infield?
I wouldnt be suprised to see Willie sit him again agaisnt a lefty. He is getting up there so a day off every now and then isnt going to hurt him

He hit his second HR off of a lefty.
That was the no doubter off the scoreboard too.
Its 8 man league. They are mostly yankee fans. I thought there would be some mets fans in there being its called New York Basbeall, but yep, just me, lol. I also have some descent bats in the OF. Mclouth, Church and Burrell. I kick @ss in just about every offense category.
See thats the thing Mookie, I need wins. Im dead last in wins, second to last in era and whip, so maybe picking him up would be smart. Were allowed way too many pitchers in this league which I dont like. Its hard to find any descenty pitchers.
Oh yea, im dead last in steal too. Those big hitters dont run too much unfortunately, lol
haha nice. I’m in a 12 team league, i was happy enough to get both DWright and Magglio.
True that Future!
Wow, it looks like we are facing Owings, Webb and Haren next weekend - EEK!
I agree - i hate that the high innings caps in my league - i think it makes it less competitive/strategic.
Wow were going to have our hands full. I thought Owings got hurt when he hit that double. He came out of the game.
Im in 3 all together. One was kinda given to me. My daughter wanted to do it. She had me help her out and we did a live draft and now she cant be bothered, lol
he said he intended to make his next start, but we’ll see… sounds like it wont be our typical offensive burst at chase though
haha that’s funny - so she’s one of THOSE managers!
Well Owings can hit really well but he’s not *that* spectacular as a pitcher. He has as a ND against us.
Haren also has no wins against us, but a sparkling 2.79 ERA.
Webb is 2-6 but an insanely good ERA as well. Lets keep the bad luck going.
Yep, she did fantasy football in her math class and won it all, so she kind of thought it would be a good idea. But, now that its warming up and she can play outside she doesnt wanna deal with it, lol. She will ask how HER team is doing from time to time so I guess maybe shes the GM,lol
good news future - i never thought owings was such a good pitcher, though he is off to a very good start. He’s certainly their #3, but he’s a pretty solid #3.
They also have a solid offense - but chase field has always been kind to the Mets. I’ll predict 2 of 3 for the mets - can we borrow Alay Soler for the weekend?
She’s totally the GM! She drafts ‘em, you manage ‘em
Chase Field is really kind to Carlos Beltran, IIRC.
Oi!
I would take 2 out of 3. The D-Backs are pretty hot right now. It will definately be a good test for us. The D-Backs are the real deal
I still don’t buy their hitting. I think they’ll cool down. The pitching is for real, of course, but the hitting…. who really thinks Connor Jackson will hit 30+ homeruns?
Just looked and he looks like he’s back on a more reasonable 20-25 homerun pace but he’s still slugging .580. While he might hit above .300 (always a good hitter in the minors), I think his slugging is coming down.
I hope he does Lunk. I picked him up for fantasy. Let ‘em suck against us though. I’ll be benching his @ss, lol
the ship they are showing on ch 35 (”carrier”) uss nimitz. i served on her for 5 years + …
nicely served, seaman custer!
pause
heyb there cust
That’s really cool, Custer!
what color shirt did you wear cust?
I also agree about Arizona. I just can’t believe their hitting is going to keep us this insane pace.
hey timmaayyy ??????????????????
what yuuun thinlkk of the rams draft ??????
Not happy with it Bob…We picked up 2 undersized receivers….I would like a tall tough guy just once….someone who can go up and get the ball. But we needed so many positions filled I can’t harp on just the receivers….
hmmmmmm at least no martzz rightt timmaayy ?/
at least no martz….but Linehan took us to 3-13….not good.
gold
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm true or false you got a great draftb ?????????/
4 notre damers went in the 1st 2 rounds: zbikowski, carlson, trevor laws & brady quinn..
heyyyyyyyyyyyyy custt isn zbiiwwww oowww goon a ply nfl or box ????????
You mean in two years?
Man, that pales in comparison to the goal standard: USC.
:)
ok ok i gotta crash talk in the am gang,,,,,
