May 6th, 2008 at 2:44 am
Had Perez pitched a sterling game, Wagner would have gotten credit for giving him a well needed, public kick in the buttocks. Does Wagner now get credit for breaking his confidence?
May 6th, 2008 at 7:44 am
Didnt see game but
OY
Ollie is having problems it seems or maybe the league is catching up to him???
Wont see game today either, too late.
But I will predict The Mets win today.
I also predict That NC tar heels win by 10-12 pts and The Lady Hoosiers win by 3-5 pts today
;D
How do you like that Ed?? All sports tawk
heheheeeeeeeeeeeee
May 6th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Let’s give Wags/Ollie credit: he kept battling and gave the team innings. He probably would have gone out for the 7th if he wasn’t due to hit in the top of the inning. He gave the Mets a chance to win and while giving up 5 runs isn’t GOOD, if the Mets hadn’t been stranding runners, they would have been right in that game. Certainly better than the effort he put out the other night.
May 6th, 2008 at 8:48 am
And I don’t think the league has “figured him out”. Honestly, he just missed with three pitches and they all went yard. He didn’t allow too many other really hard hits and didn’t walk a lot of people. Around the plate all day.
May 6th, 2008 at 8:51 am
He did give innings, however he didn’t really keep us in the game. Had he kept it at 2 or 3 runs and not given up the 3rd homer it would have been a different story. But he didnt pitch all that bad…..just made a couple mistakes that a good hitting team capitalized on.
And I guess you really cant say anything about Perez when the offense as a whole stunk. Looking at the batting averages with some players……i mean beltran? Delgado? Castillo? Can they at least hit something respectable. And I agree with Mazz…..I think Beltran is still hurting.

May 6th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Well, in the whole of baseball, a 4 run deficit is nothing. On the Mets where the team cannot hit with runners in scoring position, it’s a ton. Nothing Ollie can do about that.
May 6th, 2008 at 8:56 am
thanks for the LOLCATS lunky.
One of my kittehs (Tiger) is ill. My wife took him to the vet last night. They think it might just be a virus, but since he is “old” at 10, it could be renal failure.
Here’s the funny part. The wife I and girls were looking for him (he was in the closet, pawz). Once we did, my wife said to my little one (the three yr old) to leave him alone, since he might be sick. The little one goes over to him, touches his head and says “he doesn’t have temperature”.
LMAO.
May 6th, 2008 at 8:58 am
I forget if its 4 or 5……it might be 5…..the importance of runs goes up, reaching its highest at 5 i think and then the significance of each run afterwards goes down.
But yeah the offense stinks right now and not really the pitchers problem.
Oh and dannys thread got me thinking………wouldnt inconsistency for a pitcher might not be so bad? Take an extreme example….player A gives up 0 runs and 10 runs in two starts……..player B gives up 5 runs and 5 runs in two starts……one will likely go 1-1 the other probably goes 0-2. I read somewhere u want consistent offense and inconsistent pitching.
Of course overally you just want GOOD offense and pitching tho lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:00 am
overally??? lol
OVERALL
May 6th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Awwwwww, poor kitty. I’m sure he’ll be alright. 10 is not THAT old. My oldest cat is 12 or 13 (I forget) and he still beats up the other cats.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Well, john, you’re talking about very extreme conditions. I mean, neither Maine nor Ollie have themselves given up 10 runs in a while so it’s a little hard to make a direct comparison. But what you’re talking about it why there are slots in the pitching rotation for different kinds of pitchers.
Wouldn’t you love the guy who gives up 5 runs a game but pitches 7-8 innings EVERY TIME? That’s your #5.
Similarly, don’t you like the guy who pitches a shutout every other game slotted higher? Because he’s going to beat the tougher teams.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:06 am
The plus for Perez was the 6 IP. The negative was that he seemed to be overcompensating for his problem with walks by offering cookies down the middle of the plate like he would do in his early days with the Mets in 2006. Its kind of wierd that the moment he fixes his issues with base on balls that he begins to immediately surrender a high rate of homeruns again. Now he just has to work on expanding the strike zone when he’s ahead of the count.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Maybe lol. Ideally i’d like my 5 to give up less than 5 but im picky lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Exactly. That 0-2 pitch to Furcal was WAY too nice. As was the pitch to whathisface.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Thats the key word overcompensating.
Its something I do in bowling all the time. If I miss slighty to one side of the pocket I tend to overadjust………the results arent pretty.
Same thing with Ollie.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Yeah up 0-2 you cannot throw that pitch to Furcal………cannot cannot cannot
May 6th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Yeah, I definately saw improvement, even if he didn’t pitch well last night. I am just happy he is giving us innings again.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:11 am
John is a dirty, filthy bowler.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:13 am
Heh I used to be good, but I haven’t bowled in ages lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:16 am
You know, I wish that Oliver would use his splitter more when he’s ahead of the count on righties. Its not a bad pitch and it can help when runners are on base to get GBDP. Right now, his slider and fastball aren’t working against righties.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:16 am
I use bowling as a reason to get drunk. But I haven’t bowled since I left Philly (I had a friend that owned a big bowling alley that was only 5 blocks away from my house).
May 6th, 2008 at 9:18 am
The funny thing is, during the at bat to Kemp, he kept throwing fastballs. My girlfriend noted that I immediately said “stop throwing the heat. Throw a slider.” Ollie immediately threw another fastball and it was in the seats.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:19 am
If Ollie was offering cookies down the middle, he would have allowed more than 6 hits in 6 innings. They didn’t hit him particularly hard outside of the HRs. It was the exact same start that Santana had against the Brewers. He pitched well outside of a few HRs. It’s a bit of a fluky start.
Two of the HRs narely crawled over the fence yesterday. So 10 less feet and then all of a sudden he has a really nice start. The offense was more of a problem than Ollie last night.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Yeah of the 6 hits he gave up, 5 were off the FB.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Agreed. The offense needs to pick it up a bit. I did think Billingsly looked awfully good tho.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:23 am
I thought they hit him particularly hard with some of his meatball offerings, including on some of the outs like the time when Kent lined a fastball right up the middle of his gut or when D-Wright saved him in the 7th with a Webgem type play. The boxscores don’t suggest how well the Dodgers hit him, and alot of it was because of the ball was fat over the plate alot of the times.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Billingsley looked great in the first inning, and then honestly after that he wasn’t that good. He walked a lot of guys and wasn’t commanding his offspeed stuff. We didn’t take advantage of any of our opportunities.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:24 am
You were watching different homeruns than I saw. DeWitt’s was a 400+ foot shot to dead center and Kemp’s was a few rows deep to the opposite field.
And, like I said earlier, I think Ollie had a good start overall. He just made some bad pitches in two bad spots (DeWitt’s homerun was just a guy hitting a good pitch).
May 6th, 2008 at 9:25 am
So you remember 2 hard outs and now they crushed him all over the park? Any others?
May 6th, 2008 at 9:26 am
And DeWitt hit it over the CF fence which is 400 feet away. It was probably 5 feet over the fence.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:26 am
Furcal hit a fence scraper, and yeah, Kemp crushed his.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:27 am
If the offense doesnt pick it up it wont really matter how well Ollie pitches lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Billingsly looked okay. The Mets had baserunners on all over him and he couldn’t strike the Mets out like he was accustomed to (4 walks, 4 K’s). The Mets easily could have knocked him out if they’d managed to get the hits with runners on. They didn’t and part of the credit goes to Bilingsly.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Sometimes a pitcher makes mistakes and the other team does nothing with them, and other times the pitcher only makes a few mistakes and gets punished. Those guys put some good swings on pitches from Ollie and I tip my cap. But he didn’t pitch poorly last night.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:28 am
I agree.
That’s off the top of my head, mind you. They were getting very good cuts for most of the game.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:28 am
400 feet is still 400 feet so it’s not like he didn’t hit it a ton. He just hit it to the deepest part of the park.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:29 am
No they weren’t. I mean, they just weren’t. 6 hits in 6 innings.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Agreed. As I said earlier, I really do think this was a noticeably improved start from the last one. Ollie stuck with it, didn’t get down, kept his composure and gave the Mets some innings.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:29 am
We had opportunities yes but we didn’t take advantage of those opportunities.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Furcal’s pitch was not that much a floater, I don’t think the Mets get to it if it stays in the park anyways. The homeruns he surrendered were legitimate XBH.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:31 am
But Ramon is acting like he was throwing cookies down the middle of the plate and that is just wrong. It’s a really inaccurate depiction of his start.
You know, sometimes the other team just plays a better game. Their offense was a lot better than our offense. Ollie pitched just as well as Billingsley did. We didn’t take advantage of our openings and the Dodgers did.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Ramon, we all watched the game. There were a couple hard outs but no more than is typical in any game. Ollie pitched well outside of those three homerun balls.
As a side note, how the HELL does Juan Pierre walk? Why is it that WE’RE the only team in baseball that can walk Juan Pierre and Pedro Feliz?
May 6th, 2008 at 9:33 am
LOL Fook
I am going to research this, but I also feel like we are the only team that walks Juan Pierre.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:34 am
I didnt see game so you know better what Ollie did.
Just saw the lowlights this morning
May 6th, 2008 at 9:35 am
By the way, is it just me or was Billingsly getting the lowest strike zone in history? I remember one strike to Jose that, if it was any lower, it would have bounced.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Willie will pay for his remarks vs the fans @ Shea
he is so DUMB
May 6th, 2008 at 9:37 am
Ok, I think he had a left more than his share of a few over the plate, but I don’t want to get sucked into this tedious argument about how Perez pitched except for 3 legitimately hit homeruns, some sharp hits and a few hard outs (which happend with runners on base). Its kind of excessive.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:38 am
And Billingsley didn’t leave some pitches out over the plate? Wright struck out on a fastball he should have crushed, for example.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:38 am
What did he say?
May 6th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Willie said absolutely nothing wrong.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Check out the NY Post article above, Ramon.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Willie said: “Black players play better in the summer because they’re used to the heat.”
May 6th, 2008 at 9:40 am
No doubt we left Billingsley off the hook at times, especially early in the game. He also was doing a better job of putting away hitters, though.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:41 am
LOL at Dusty Baker
May 6th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Stoooopid. Willie, oh Willie. What are you thinking? The NY media loves to eat up shit like this.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:43 am
By the way, in a “life isn’t fair” moment, Ollie allowed less baserunners than Billingsly. Usually, when you do that, you win the game.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:43 am
But that’s what I mean, Ramon. The Dodgers just played better than we did. I think it’s more of a reflection on our offense than it is on Perez. We have to win a game or two where the other team scores 5 runs.
I just looked it up, the most runs that an opponent has scored against us in a win is 4 runs. We have to win some 8-6 games at some point.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Dusty Baker said that quote, Ramon, not Willie. The Willie quotes are in the NY Post article above. I mean, it’s the NY Post. The quotes are completely innocuous.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Guys I see what you are saying, but lets not overstate Perez’s case because we all want him to do well. If Billingsley allowed more runners on and gave up less hits, its also because he pitched better with runners on. Those cutters he threw to Schneider in the 2nd with two runners in scoring position to get him out were nasty. You have to give him more credit that that too.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:48 am
I know, I should have beeped it. Willie’s comments about the fans aren’t excessive but I wonder about how the fans will take it.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:48 am
I thought Schneider had a terrible at-bat there. We just didn’t execute as an offense as well as they did.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:49 am
That 0-2 was a beautiful pitch. Billingsley put him away.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:50 am
critical mistakes that LAD took advantage
1) Cookie to Furcal
2) walk to pierre
that resulted in 3 of the 5 runs.
we should have lost 2-1!!!!! ;)
oh well. lets fuck kuroda up.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:51 am
That pitch was at Schneider’s eyes if I remember correctly.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:51 am
i already cant stand snido.
FREE CASANOVA
May 6th, 2008 at 9:51 am
I agree, Dep. Those were his 2 critical mistakes.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:53 am
the walk to pierre is still burning.
I hadda leave last nite I was so upset. Some scotch chilled me out but i was pissed! I stopped watching after the 7th, i never do that.
i still cant believe we walked him
May 6th, 2008 at 9:54 am
DARK SIDE DEP
May 6th, 2008 at 9:55 am
Excatly where an 0-2 pitch should be. Unlike the one to Furcal.
I still say the two hard outs (the Kent line shot at Perez and the Wright webgem) were pretty big mistakes with runners on. They were just caught. It cuts both ways, which is why I don’t see the point in saying there were only two critical mistakes.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:55 am
walking juan pierre brings out the darkness in me. tru tru
May 6th, 2008 at 9:55 am
Give Pierre credit though: it’s not like Ollie walked him on four. He fouled off a bunch of tough two strike pitches.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:55 am
Allowing a HR to a great hitter like Kemp is going to happen. I thought the pitch to DeWitt was actually a pretty good one, he just put a great swing on it.
NO excuse to walk Pierre. None.
He obviously horrendously hung that slider to Furcal, who then hit a fence scraper.
He also got hit in the stomach by a comebacker, and held himself together and gave us 6. So I was a little encouraged too.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:56 am
True Lunk, but he got to the 3-ball count with pitches that weren’t even close to the zone.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:56 am
Ollie didnt pitch great IMO
but it was a step forward for him IMO.
showed good command, just threw a few too many cookies in favorable pitcher counts.
that’s the next step
it was encouraging imo.
excluding the walk to juan pierre of course. wars have been fought over less.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:57 am
But Ramon, by that measure, Billingsley might have made more mistake pitches than Ollie did and the Mets didn’t do jack with them.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Allowing a HR to a great hitter like Kemp is going to happen
May 6th, 2008 at 9:58 am
The Mets have won games 6-4 and 5-4, and no other games where the opponent scored more than 3 runs.
I mean, the offense is just not getting it done.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Kemp is pretty awesome, Ramon. Especially against lefties.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Now this is going in circles. I admitted and agreed that the Mets left him off the hook several times, especially in early innings. But he also did a better job of expanding the zone than Perez. Its not as clear cut as saying that it was on out offense than Billingsley beat Perez last night. I want Perez to do well too, but I am not going to overstate his case either, even at the expense of the other pitcher.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:00 am
I mentioned this yesterday, but Wright is doing horrible (for him) against RH pitching this year.
David Wright vs. righties: 81 AB, .198/.333/.444/.778
It’s like he either walks or homers against them.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Isn’t that sort of our offense’s fault?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Why is it that, seemingly, the entire team can’t hit righties anymore? Weren’t we worried we’d have trouble against LEFTIES?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Yes and no. Billingsley had some pitches working last night, espeically when he got ahead of the count.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:06 am
ramon, i have an idea, why don’t you disagree with anything remotely positive said about perez? k thx.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:06 am
I think Pascucci has a chance to come up for Pagan. He hit another homer last night in AAA and the Mets are playing him at first base.
He was .312/.432/.550/.982 against lefties in AAA last year.
Pagan is a luxury item with Chavez healthy and on this team. We Pascucci’s RH pop.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:09 am
And I have no idea why you are such a whiny little bitch. Do you work hard at it or does it come natural to you?
I gave Perez credit for improvement, but I am not going to sugarcoat what I honestly believe to be very mixed results. I suppose I could point my finger to you and ask why every game he surrenders around 5ER in 6Ip is a triumph to you and others, but that would be as stupid and generalized as what you are suggesting.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:10 am
May 6th, 2008 at 10:11 am
The funny thing was that people were arguing that Chavez was a luxury item when Pagan was hitting the cover off the ball.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Pagan has options. It’s a simple choice on what to do.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:12 am
maybe because you make this board unreadable at times with your argumentative, tedious bullshit.
i haven’t said anything about his performance last night
May 6th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Me neither. He hasnt looked like the defensive genius yet behind the plate, tho he is hitting better then I expected.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:15 am
hey geeks!
my two cents: i thought ollie was solid, not good not bad.
a bit off topic: did anybody see the pistons-magics game yesterday?
if the nba isnt rigged i dont know what is…
May 6th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Bah, Schneider doesn’t have an XBH yet.

Casanova’s bat in the handful games he played
It will take Snider 1/2 a season to equal the same offensive production.
Last season a catcher with 22 ABs had more offensive production than Snider did with 400-500 ABs
May 6th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Ha, your expectations were very low then!
May 6th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Dep, but you can’t measure Schneider’s heart.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:18 am
Oh no, someone arguing baseball on a baseball blog after a game? What was I thinking, you were right.
BTW we both know you don’t stop being a whiney little pissant when I am not arguing.
No, you’d rather sit and complain. I know, its a favorite passtime of yours these days. I said nothing excessive you are just too sensitive on Oliver it seems.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:18 am
snider has to play plus D or its a joke having him out there.
i aint laughing.
and yes his thumb is all fubar’d and he’s rusty, fine he gets slack.
but hey, his D sucked b4 he got hurt. its sucked all year/

I thought Schneider was the reason that our pitchers were doing better like pelfrey?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:20 am
he jerks off other guys in the showers?
hmmm, i havent seen that pay benefits for this squad yet.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:21 am
I’ve rejected this notion from day 1. maybe its true, maybe its not, but i have never accepted it.
I believe this kinda thing follows catchers that cant hit so GMs have a justification for signing guys with no obvious game.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Yep and I remember all the passed balls in the beginning I was thinking WTF is going on……then I had heard he had switched gloves and was going back to the old one again so I figured ok now he should be fine…..but nope. His defense has not been impressive at all.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Do you know what the worst slap in the face was last night?
When the Dodgers pitched to Castillo with men on second and third with 2 outs.
Ouch babe.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:21 am
lol dep
May 6th, 2008 at 10:21 am
I think Schneider might help Pelfrey a bit. I don’t really see it for any of the other more established pitchers.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:22 am
I hope we see Casanova tonight.
Its Figgy so hopefully we do. they seem to groove well together.
OH CASANOVA HELPS PITCHERS!
::attaches label to Casanova’s shirt::
spread the word!
May 6th, 2008 at 10:22 am
I personally have no problem with Schneider. If Jose, Wright and Beltran were all hitting at their talent levels, I think Schneider would be a non-issue.
Anyone really think Cassanova can keep up his recent level of play? His history tend to suggest “not”.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Casanova on his worst day still gives us more than snido.
The occasional XBH > Nothing.
every time, all the time!
May 6th, 2008 at 10:23 am
no, everyone else discusses and argues about baseball. what you do is something totally different.
ramon, you are right. you’ve been totally fair to perez.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:23 am
hahahah I didn’t even think about that. You’re right, that’s so effing sad.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:24 am
I prayed that would come back to bite them but *sighs it didnt.

How many other catchers take the time to play catch with the CF during the game?
Snido!

May 6th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Historically, Schneider is a better offensive catcher than Casanova.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:25 am
I wish Omar understood marginal value
clearly he doesnt.
Hi Snido!
Hi Castillo!
May 6th, 2008 at 10:26 am
seriously, has castillo had an xbh so far?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Castro caught 9 innings last night. I hope the fatty can get healthy soon.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Historically Snider is Johnny Bench too.
Right now Casanova gives us a better chance to win.
Snider is a shell of himself.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:26 am
2 doubles, Grex.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:27 am
i remember castillo having a double down the left field line
May 6th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Castillo has 2 doubles. One was a dunker. I can’t remember the other.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Castillo hit a bloop double at one point, that little bloop that barely made it over the 3B’s head.
he ran all the way to second! go little legs!
May 6th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Csatillo = World Class Speed per all of the announcers
May 6th, 2008 at 10:28 am
The last time Raul had a decent amount of at bats was 2001……..maybe he’s upped his skills since then.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Schneider has always been a better hitter than Casanova and is younger. Give Schneider credit for having an effed up thumb. In the long run, he is much better all around that Casanova.
I’d love to see Castro get in though. He can outhit the both of them.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:28 am
It’s beyond stupid that we have 2 of 8 starting players that are advertised here for their D.
and they are black holes in our offense.
Any worth on D they have is cancelled out by their extreme suckage on O.
Marginally, they aint worth dick
May 6th, 2008 at 10:28 am
He’s 35. You think?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Most catchers don’t peak at 35. I’m happy with what Casanova has given us but I want Castro back.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:29 am
in the long run Snider might not suck
right now he does.
he cant hit AND he cant play D.
he should not be playing right now
May 6th, 2008 at 10:29 am
That’s a stupid, circular, and self-serving argument. I ARGUE BASEBALL. I have my own opinion and it differs from many others here.
Today I have, no doubt. I don’t want to defend myself on this issue again, as I said he improved. But won’t just agree with everyone else and say he didn’t pitch that bad for a few mistakes. I don’t see it that way. Either way I am not going to explain myself to punkass whiner like you. If you don’t like my posts, its simple, don’t reply to them. I don’t give a shit about what you write 90 percent of the time. Learn from me.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:29 am
He should have been DLed. The Mets are playing him to save the face.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:30 am
The guy only had over 300 at bats ONCE in his entire career. Its not unreasonable to think that he cant produce more then his career numbers would suggest.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:30 am
its nice that he plays banged up and everything, but honestly do you think he’s helping the team doing so??
i would much rather see him get back to 100%, give to the time to casanova and molina, who imo did an admirable job filling in
May 6th, 2008 at 10:30 am
What face? What face is saved by not DLing an injured player? I think the problem was that, with a staph infection of a thumb, they had no idea how he’d recover from it and played it safe. Let’s face it, thumb and all, it’s not like he’s worse than Molina.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:31 am
It was the reason I wanted Gotay and Castro come in and platoon a bit. I still can’t believe we got rid of the former to save Brady Clark.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:31 am
I prefer a healthy Molina to this Schneider.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:32 am
John, I love you man but you’re daydreaming. There’s a reason why he’s only had 300+ at bats once. He’s NOT a good hitter. He doesn’t walk, doesn’t hit for average and his power is only marginal.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Brady Clark! Oooh I hope we see him again at the ML level.
::starts prepping noose::
May 6th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Now Castro is a legitimately good hitter. I want at least 2 starts a week for him while he is healthy.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:33 am
I disagree but I don’t think I’ll be able to convince you. I think you play Molina for a season, even as a backup, and he hits the Mendoza line. The guy just isn’t good.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Snider cant even spell power.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Schnieder is the least of our problems, IMO. We knew he wasn’t going to be special, but Beltran’s struggles are a source of concern. It is nice that Delgado is picking it up though. He’s looking pretty good these days.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Snider sucks
he can clean carpets in his spare time, he sucks that much.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:34 am
This Schneider won’t hit .200. He’s not healthy. And it doesn;t get better playing with it. We should have DLed him.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Im not saying he’s a great hitter or even a GOOD hitter. Im simply saying he’s a better option then schneider.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:34 am
right again!
dude, just shut up
May 6th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Schneider’s career slugging percentage is a couple points lower than Casanova’s.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Casanova’s career minor league line: 2,973 AB, .282/.347/.458/805
(let’s ignore his major league line haha)
May 6th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Except when he grounds into double plays to kill rallies.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Schneider’s career minor league line: ummmm, let’s not go there, k?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:36 am
he hasnt slugged over .330 in the last 3 years and he’s not going to.
he’s not the same player that used to hit for power
he’s also great on D
the snider propaganda is strong
May 6th, 2008 at 10:36 am
There’s just so much pressure on David and Jose to produce. If they don’t do anything, nobody else does.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Dumb….
Dumber….
PS. You are still a whiney little bitch. Now lets see if you can stop hounding me for about a few posts.
PPS I am convinced. You are definately a natural.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:37 am
And Casanova, at age 35, is Dep? He has all of two extra base hits with us so far this season.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Also, those years happened to coincide with moving to RFK. I expect Schneider to hit for a little bit more as the season progresses in a park that a little more friendly to lefties.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:38 am
lets see how long it takes Snider to get 2 XBHs
July what?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:39 am
Yeah, and sadly that includes Beltran to a degree. We really need to start to think about supplementing their talents with other bats in the future. Too many peices on the team are aging, too inconsistent, and prone to injuries.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:39 am
If he doesnt give us outstanding d……..he’s useless.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:39 am
Its not a park thing.
his away Slugging sucks just as bad those years.
he’s not a good hitter.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:39 am
hahaah It could happen next game and you know it.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:39 am
No, I’m not arguing that Schneider is a good hitter. I’m arguing that Casanova is worse.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:40 am
FREE CASANOVA.
FREE ANYBODY
May 6th, 2008 at 10:40 am
I promise Schneider is better on defense than he has shown. My problem is playing him when he’s not healthy when he clearly should have been DL’d.
We knew he wasn’t going to hit very much.
Schneider’s had a bunch of injuries already this season. He’s banged up. He had the hammy in spring, something pop up early in the season that I can’t remember now, and now the thumb. We need to get him healthy.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:40 am
If Schneider gives an OPS+ of 85 or more, I will be happy.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:40 am
At least Casanova can block a ball and throw to second on a fly right now
Snider’s D makes PLD look like Bench
and not just now. ALL SEASON.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:40 am
He might not be a long term option but he’s one for now until Castro comes back…..which if he caught last night he might not be too far off. (I havent heard the latest on him yet)
May 6th, 2008 at 10:41 am
ill stop hounding you when you tone down your “arguments”
and, for the record, you are definately an idiot
a rediculous idiot, at that
May 6th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Castro caught 9 innings last nite i believe
1st time he’s done that
May 6th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Eek.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:42 am
I don’t know what issues you have with Schneider blocking balls (he did a good job last night on a couple). And he’s still 4 for 9 throwing out runners (including one last night). Are you going to bust on Schneider for letting Juan Pierre take one?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Schneider’s blocking has been bad. I agree with that criticism. As Mark Jackson would say, “You’re better than that!”
May 6th, 2008 at 10:44 am
F-You. You are not the cop of this blog and if anything your whining will only make me tone up my “argument” even more.
LOL! Thanks for the compliment. Now I know I’m doing something right.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:44 am
He might just need to get used to the pitchers…….I dunno lol.
Poll time
If all 3 are healthy and ready to go who would you want catching
Schneider
Cassanova
Castro
May 6th, 2008 at 10:45 am
i cant wait to see big head, i would love to see a platoon although i dont think willie will do this.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:46 am
All I’m saying is, I don’t think the Schneider vs Casanova controversy matters worth a damn to this team. The hitters have to start hitting. EVERYONE is batting below their norms right now and it’s just amazing how long this has been going on (the only time I can think of this season where it seemed like we were firing on all cylinders was the opening series against Florida).
In essence, this is how I feel about the Mets’ situation currently: http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/05/06/funny-pictures-was-to-poop-outside/
May 6th, 2008 at 10:46 am
Schneider/Castro. In a heart beat. And I’d do a strict platoon.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:47 am
I agree Snider isnt a huge deal.
but stacking him and Castillo at the bottom of the order aint helping.
if we were playing Casanova/Castro and Gotay every day, we’d have a better chance to win.
Damn you OMar!
May 6th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Willie should definately do this. Shnide’s line against rigties is good with a .324 BA / .752 OPS. Castro could then see southpaws. I would have also loved to see this with Gotay and Castillo.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Agree Fook……..in the grand scheme of things schneider or cassanova isnt going to make a break the season……….but the offense is stuggling a lil bit…..why not put someone into the lineup that has shown a lil more offensive production this season?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:48 am
*sighs
nice move mets.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:48 am
ED!!! WATCH THESE VIDEOS NOW!!!
http://anotherlolcatzblog.blogspot.com/
May 6th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Every little bit helps.
the argument that snider or castillo isnt a big deal is an ok one
but its still an issue,.
every little bit helps. marginal value. they all getting added up over a season and it has an effect.
the idea that DW/Jose/Carlos y Carlos have to hit more to win is a valid one but the idea that what snider/castillo do isnt significant is false.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Gotay and Castillo could not be strict platooned. You would play Castillo only 370% of the games against lefties.
You either sign Castillo to play everyday or you don’t sign him at all. We should have let him go when the market supposedly got to 3 or 4 years, clearly.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:50 am
See, I’m arguing that Casanova and Schneider are essentially a wash offensively. Which is why I don’t think it’s important.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Seriously though, who was more expendable? Gotay or Marlon Anderson? I know Marlon plays several positions, but his main capacity was as a pinch hitter. I always thought Gotay was very good as a lefty bat off the bench too.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:52 am
I agree, I would have rested Castillo days when tough righties were up to pitch though. I still would have had Castillo start around 120 games.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:52 am
I love having Gangsta Lean on the team. Castillo is the one who was expendable. But we overvalue second base defense.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:52 am
As badly as he’s hitting, Iguchi’s short contract looks awfully nice right now.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:53 am
We overvalue defense and piss away so much on offense at those positions it becomes a wash AT BEST
May 6th, 2008 at 10:53 am
Ha, that would be a Mets thing to do.
“Hey Gotay, it’s Smoltz today, get in there!”
“Ruben, Peavy’s going today, we need your bat!”
May 6th, 2008 at 10:53 am
We still needed insurance. I was not convinced Gotay was the man for the job on an everyday basis. Castillo may not have been solution, and I don’t disagree, but I wasn’t comfortable handing the job to Gotay and Easley for 162 games.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:54 am
I HATE YOU JUAN PIERRE
May 6th, 2008 at 10:54 am
And then we make a trade at the deadline. It’s better than 4 effin years of Limp Castillo.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:54 am
At best? Seriously, Dep, neither of these guys can hit. We’re talking about two blind men trying to play pool out there.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:55 am
everytime i make a mouse-click its a double-click. can anybody tell me what i did to #### it up? can someone help me?
cause this is annoying me mucho…
May 6th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Heh, true. Would you rather that Castillo face those guys?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:55 am
They might be.
For what its worth Cassanova has 79 XBH in 1068 at bats 7.4%
Schneider has 188 in 2382 7.8%
Looks like a wash.
But teams usually ride the hot hand alot of times……i mean pagan started off hot…..we know he wasnt going to do that all season long tho but they still went with him. I say go with cassanova till he drops off…….and by that time, ramon will be ready
May 6th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Let’s all agree on this, though: as little power as Castillo has, he’s also EXTREMELY underperforming his norm. A few of his slap singles here and there could have meant the differences in ballgames.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:55 am
they’re both sub 700 OPS players.
compare that to NL averages at the end of the season and you will see that we pissed away any plus on D we got
and i think the plus on D is BS story spun by Omar to sell his moves.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:56 am
combined with the pitcher hitting ninth those guys will kill many more rallies…
May 6th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Castillo looked like he was getting in back for like a week
and now that’s all gone
i hope he can get back to that level, but to me he looks like a shell of his former self and not that player anymore
May 6th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Castillo’s not even giving us great defense.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:57 am
You won’t get me to defend that deal. But once Castillo was signed, Gotay had to be kept on the team and he should have been loosely platooned with Castillo. This is my point.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Castillo and Snider both suck all around right now.
suck suck suck
May 6th, 2008 at 10:58 am
I agree. I don’t think we should have gone with the all-D catcher tandem here. But we can argue with what Omar should have acquired in the offseason all day. Right now, we have to concern ourselves with what we have.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:59 am
I think he actually means it honestly. To me, its kinda like he figures well I have Reyes and Wright and Beltran and Alou……so my offensive is taken care of lets get some defense only guys in castillo and schneider.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:59 am
I need to look at some jailbait.
that will calm me.
zod, name some jailbait!
May 6th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Also, the bad part about overinvesting on middle infeild D is also seen in the fact that we have a flyball staff. I could understand if we had a staff like Arizona’s where there is a Webb and a Owings there dependent upon groundball outs, but we never get groundballs from our starters with the exception of Pelfrey.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:00 am
sadly baseball has a way of always finding slumping guys in key spots. i dont even wanna know how many runners castillo and schneider have left on (although to be fair nearly everyone minus jose is struggling with risp)
May 6th, 2008 at 11:00 am
yea, maybe he does.
he needs a class on marginal value though.
a some D, some O guy > All D, no O guy
May 6th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Oh, God, Dep there’s this one British girl a found recently…. only does pictures and no naughty business…. but she’s got the greatest curve body in known history….. I can’t remember her name now though.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:02 am

rachel bilson?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:03 am
He’s vastly overrating defense.
And im not even sure castillo’s defense is really that GREAT anymore either.

May 6th, 2008 at 11:03 am
I’m trying to think. She’s British…. brunette with some reddish highlights…. Man, she’s so stunning it kills me. Let me have a look and see if I can find her in a SFW way.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:03 am
I certainly don’t disagree with that.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:04 am
That’s the other thing. He can still turn a DP to his credit though.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:04 am
He did. But even horrible second baseman make GREAT players occasionally.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:04 am
oh well, I’ve said my piece. I feel better. Enough.
I dont hate snider as much as i say i do right now, but for right now the venom is flowing.
He’ll win me back over.
Castillo, not so sure!
May 6th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Crap, I don’t think I can safely do a GOogle search here at work when I look for the words “British + Busty”. Sorry, Dep.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:04 am
oh, porno! try Kate’s Playground.
megan fox is hot
May 6th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Must we always be compared to the Yankees?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:06 am
I wasnt a fan of Schneider from the beginning lol. The lack of D is just fueling it even more.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:06 am
He can. But as you said, how valuable is that with a flyball staff?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:06 am
OH!
my boy geeks.
watch this.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=WcQuiEbg6Hg
thank me later.
SFW imo but be careful.

yupyup! the end actually made me laugh and it may be very true! but still, screw him!!!! :)
May 6th, 2008 at 11:11 am
From Metsblog:
I am not the biggest Perez fan in the world, as you all know but even I think this is unfair. I would still choose him out of these three for a big start. His stuff is too good.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:13 am
hahahaha, Nelson “balls of steel” figueroa.
amazing how quick these reps are built
May 6th, 2008 at 11:13 am
It’s metsblog, Ramon. Not the place to go for opinions. For news, it’s great. For opinions, not so much.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Shakes head.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:14 am
Figs should be our long man if we get a starters crunch. I would love him in that role.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:14 am
LOL. You are right, Ed. That’s why I identified with Ozzie Guillen’s rant about the Chicago fans and how the ChiSox are always being unfairly compared and scrutinzed against the Cubs. It was like the same thing could have been said about the Mets and Yankees.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:14 am
Thats a perfect example of how our short term memory can cloud our judgement.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:15 am
And then Nelly Figs will suck and should get shitcanned after he gives up 6 runs in 4 innings one start.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:16 am
yup
one month makes you forget a whole season, or in some cases, a whole career
May 6th, 2008 at 11:16 am
Ditto. He could be good for us the way Darren Oliver was for in that capacity in 2006. Then we could say screw Sosa. Hell, I am inclined to do it anyways with Pelfrey in the staff once Pedro comes back. We can use Figgy there to make up for some of Pelf’s 5 IP games.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Guys, Oliver Perez has an ERA over 8 over his last 3 starts, he’s DOOMEDEDEDEDED
May 6th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Didnt perez pitch well in a couple big games for us? I know he’s had a bunch against Atlanta…….i was there for opening day……pitched awesome…..he pitched well against the yankees as well i believe…..
Out of those three, im taking the best of those three…….that being Ollie.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:18 am
Depending on Pelfrey’s progress, I could go with that, Ramon.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:18 am
lol The funny thing is we kid about it but its amazing the amount of the people that actually think that way.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:20 am
even ron and gary were being really dramatic about it last night
ron said it was a crossroads in perez’s career
i was gettin my lulz on
May 6th, 2008 at 11:21 am
did no red-blooded male watch that youtube video?
come on, someone watch it and say something. I DEMAND IT.
Danny…….
May 6th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Danny, you and I may want Pelfrey in AAA. But I don’t really feel that he ever be send down. I read Willie’s quote and he seems to be of the opinion that what Pelfrey needs most is to be trotted out there over and over again.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:21 am
LOL at Ron
May 6th, 2008 at 11:22 am
haha zod yeah when I heard him say that i was like are u kidding me lol.
IMO Ron loves Maine and dislikes Ollie. I could be totally off base there but it just “seems” that way to me.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:22 am
If you keep hitting up, you should get to the dialing screen but I don’t recall you needing to dial anyone for Faustin. Is it the one where you have to pull over all the vans looking for the right one?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:22 am
did you hear Ron pimping for his own number to be retired at Shea?
pretty funny
May 6th, 2008 at 11:22 am
It was hard to type while I was mimicking the workout, Dep.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:22 am
That Ali Bastian chick is superhot.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:23 am
I didnt watch it but maybe thats why no one is saying about it….too busy watching it lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:23 am
SFW?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:23 am
EXCELLENT point. And he colors the perception of a lot of fans that favor Maine over Perez by such a wide margin.
I never made that connection but it makes a lot of sense.
Ramon, you don’t fall in this category, but I bet that a lot of others do.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:24 am
ahhhh just keep hitting up. that makes sense. i shall try dat. thnx
naw i’m past the vans one.
I’m on a mission where he wants this witness killed but the witness is in hiding.
thus, you must steal a cop car and use the cop car computer to look up where the person is hiding and then go kill them.
so he texted me and said if you cant find a cop (which i couldnt), use your phone to dial 911 and report something and a cop car will come for you to steal.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:25 am
Oh wait. That mission is for Brucie, isn’t it?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:25 am
Yeah danny and ya know up until last night i didnt really think it was him being negative on Ollie. He just seems to mention Maine an awful lot to me. But then last night I heard him talking about Ollie and that immedicately popped into my head.
When Maine stunk the 2nd half of last year how come we didnt hear anything about him being at a crossroads?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:25 am
ha! hard! nice ;)
yes! that ass! those shorts! OMG! i would do horrible things to her
# Comment posted by john on May 6, 2008 at 11:23 am (#682841)
HA!!! reports are trickling in now!
IMO yes, no nudity. its a workout video. but it does involve a super nice ass bouncing up n down! you make the call!
THANKS BOYS! :)
May 6th, 2008 at 11:25 am
Thanks Danny, but I couldn’t fall into even if I was open to his suggestions since I haven’t seen much Mets TV over the past 1-2 years.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:26 am
AH! it is for brucie. you are right.
my bad. i forgot.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:26 am
John, you’re so completely right on this. I thought it had more to do with Ollie’s meltdown Pirates career, but I think that’s only a small part.
I think it entirely has to do with the way Ron talks about Perez. Gosh, you are so right! It’s an epiphany.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:27 am
I hope you got mlb.tv at least lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:27 am
There’s a cop car just up the street from your safehouse. It’s almost always just sitting there.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:28 am
Its those positions that drive me crazy. Trantic excersies are so fucking amazing. Hot chicks bending like pretzels. What’s there not to like?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Hot chicks with nice asses are overrated.
….
Do I even need to beep that?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:29 am
yes. the positions are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet. something about her ass in those shorts is magical.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:29 am
I miss Gus.
And his seagulls.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:29 am
danny, did you get an email from a head geek for making those off-color jokes last night?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:30 am
I think not just ron but most people. When pitchers fail, they might be worried about something but tend not to make a huge deal………when ollie fails, its always more dramatic to me.
Ollie “Implodes”……and no other pitcher in MLB history implodes as much as ollie does…least thats what some will have u believe.
And im saying this as a fan that prefers Maine more then Ollie lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Did zod get in trouble with the Geeks?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:31 am
No man, did you?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:31 am
The Head Geeks don’t post much……..I tend to even forget they are here lol.
Hi Eric
Hi Alex
May 6th, 2008 at 11:32 am
nope. the teflon zod.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:32 am
I also feel people see Perez give up hits after errors and it adds to the idea that he is more inconsistent. I have to say that the stats that Danny threw up about Perez’s being as roughly consistent as Maine since 2007 were very surprising to me for this reason.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:32 am
bullshit, you didnt get in trouble for that.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Most people can’t influence the fan base. It’s Ron and Gary and Keith that are the most influential voices. They color a great amount of the fan base’s feelings. The casual fan is almost entirely persuaded by the broadcast team.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:33 am
hahah You guys got an email for offcolor jokes yet we get nothing for porn hour?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:33 am
ha, good good
the first joke was lame and not bad at all.
the 2nd one, that WAS BAD.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:33 am
My favorite post on the Figueroa 3rd stater blog I posted earlier.
.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:34 am
And sadly its a problem. I mean our announcers are pretty good but most announcers aren’t very up to date on their baseball knowledge IMO.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Haha, you scared me, Zod.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:34 am
the first joke is hilarious in person. the delivery of “NOTHING” is key.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Haha, I still can’t believe I typed my response out loud. I blame Ollie.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:36 am
another case of ollie inducing mental errors in others
May 6th, 2008 at 11:36 am
you imploded :)
May 6th, 2008 at 11:37 am
tru dat, i can see it being much funnier in person.
i was expecting something REALLY REALLY RAUNCHY cuz of the buildup. it was only lame vs. expectations, not lame overall.
uh danny, your response was interesting! ;)
May 6th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Aother great response to the peice on Figueroa. And this runs to the issue of coloring the fan base’s opinion in a negative light, which MC Lite says he never does:
May 6th, 2008 at 11:37 am
dep, you saw the second one?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:38 am
It popped in my head and I was drunk. Hilarity ensued.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:38 am
See thats why I stay outta Game Threads……..yall are all trouble makers lol
May 6th, 2008 at 11:39 am
lol. she used to be much much hotter imo. she done messed herself all up.
http://www.wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=5902
May 6th, 2008 at 11:40 am
diaper one? oh yes.
that lived up to the hype. that should have been “the joke” ;)
May 6th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Its just nice to hear Willie saying this.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:40 am
lol
May 6th, 2008 at 11:40 am
I loved Simons’ response to the second one
“Now that one was bad”
haha
May 6th, 2008 at 11:42 am
Dionne Phaneuf is an ugly looking neaderthal.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:43 am
i was worried the head geeks would remember my molestation comment directed at the board when i completely ruined maine’s no-hitter and then think there was a pattern forming with me.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:43 am
apparently she likes ugly guys that can handle a stick
May 6th, 2008 at 11:43 am
rock on, willie
May 6th, 2008 at 11:44 am
lol thats a good response with the figueroa thing.
Im not sure Matt wrote the article to be fair?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:46 am
No,John you are right to note that Matt didn’t write the article. But its his blog, so he is guilty by association.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:46 am
shame!
May 6th, 2008 at 11:47 am
im not sure that’s fair. for example, i dont blame the head geeks because danny wrote that moronic article about perez and maine.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Why did you title that lovely picture of Scarlett’s boobs “Shame!”?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Valentino Pascucci is 6′6″ and 260 pounds.
Holy cripes!
May 6th, 2008 at 11:48 am
i meant to write its a shame! the whole engaged thing
May 6th, 2008 at 11:48 am
cuz she’s getting hitched
May 6th, 2008 at 11:48 am
LOL Benedict Arnold
May 6th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Bai Ling has really pointy nipples.
she so crazy
May 6th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Bai Ling? Is she a panda?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:50 am
Okay, that makes more sense to me because if you were starting to feel shame about ogling fine breasts, I was going to have to put you out of your misery.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:50 am
she no panda!
http://www.wwtdd.com/photo.phtml?post_key=5872&photo_key=13032
There is a nipple. if you’re quick, you can get away with it.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:51 am
hahaha, please do shoot me the day i feel shamed from ogling.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:51 am
**holds up Oliver Perez Fan Club sign**
**blows squeaker**
**tumbleweeds**
May 6th, 2008 at 11:51 am
To be honest tho and I dont mean this to be negative for the head geeks but the community is really what drives this site……whereas metsblog its more matt and others writing their opinions and ppl responding.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:52 am
No thanks. I’m not into Asian women to begin with (wasn’t impressed with her on Lost) so I’m not about to risk a scolding from my boss to look at an Asian woman’s nipple flash.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:52 am
I liked Danny’s article. But I think MC Lite’s blog, as the self-delcared mouthpeice of Mets baseball on the blogosphere has to have some standard of integrity. Its a mixed message for Cerrone to continually opine on his editorials that the fans shouldn’t get panicked and then allow for another blogger to post a peice that is the very antithesis of what he chides the fans for doing.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:52 am
May 6th, 2008 at 11:53 am
I completely agree with post #37.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:54 am
I agree with Coach K. They shouldn’t be muzzled, though.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:55 am
By the way, the community in Metsblog is almosy universal in wanting to demote Heilman in order to promote Wise. LOL
May 6th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Oh ƒuck! Dick Pound is the Canadian Olympic Committee president? He’s the biggest ass in the world. This is the guy who has turned the anti-doping movement in sports into his own private vehicle towards celebrity. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 6th, 2008 at 11:56 am
ramon, dont know if you saw this. updated schedule for marvel
May 6th, 2008 at 11:56 am
I frackin hate Dick Pound.
Rich Pound. Richard Pound. Ricky Pound.
I mean, seriously.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:57 am
hahaha, I love how its getting twisted.
If you cant resist saying anything, stay home.
Olympic spirit right there.
what a joke.
China never should have had it. more jokes from the global community.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:58 am
I agree, Dep. If there was this much of an uproar about China hosting the Olympics, why were they ever chosen in the first place?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Yes Deppy, I saw it on Superherohype.com. I cannot wait for Captain America and the Avengers. I wonder who the Avengers face? Will be Red-Skull in a continuation of the series? Or will Loki team up with Skull? So many great questions, so little answers.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:58 am
I do agree that once China was given the Olympics, than it should be about the event and not the politics. The athletes shouldn’t suffer.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:59 am
oh man, this super hot girl in my office is wearing this polka-dot sleeveless shirt with a short skirt
thanks, summer
May 6th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
yea, lots of good stuff.
so the rumor is IronMan2 sets up Thor as a character and then Thor comes out right after. so that could be a hint of who we see.
I hope the Red Skull is in Cap’n America’s! he’s got to be! that would be awesome. do the whole nazi’s and the secret formula angle.
for the love of all that is good n holy, JUST NO BUCKY!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Tell her she smells nice, Zod. They love that kind of stuff.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
seems like a good icebreaker
May 6th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
ask her what desk she would have sex on if she had to choose.
say you’re taking a poll!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
My opinion is that athletes shouldn’t be obligated to feel one way or another about protesting. They should be allowed the forum to express their views. I hate the way this whole event is being turned into a global PR ploy between China and the U.S. It doesn’t serve any of the athlete’s interests and its co-opts a genuine concern for social justice in that country.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
And then tweak her nipples. They LOVE that.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Has anyone noticed there hasn’t been a single female Metsgeek person on in DAYS? You think there’s a reason?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
“What are you wearing? That’s intoxicating!”
And then she will pull out a Taco Bell Bacon Club Chalupa out of her purse and you two will laugh and dance off into the sunset together.
Foolproof.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
you know, if you do it right, that’s a good one
May 6th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….. chalupa.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I wasnt kidding. that’s what i would say!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
i was thinking of emailing her a close-up shot of my 8-pack
May 6th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
10 lamest superheros of all time
http://unibrow.uber.com/superlame
May 6th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Tell her you love to play connect the dots.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Drop her a note that asks if she would like to go on a date with the yes and no checkboxes.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
evan roberts thinks perez’s problems may be mental!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
That would super-incredible. I wonder how they are going to introduce Thor’s arch into the Iron man mythos since they are fundamentally different type heros as one is a sci-fi, tech, spy story and the other is a mythical, magical, hero-adventure tale. I also hear they want to put the Mandarin and War Machine in there, so I hope it doesn’t overload. Whatever, I trust Favreau.
Yeah, it has to be Skull. I wouldn’t mind seeing Baron Zemo or Baron Strucker either.
LOL, everyone dumps on Bucky. I wonder if they salvage him and make him a more credible character since he is important to the early mythos of Captain America.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
tell her the 8 year old joke.
you said its better in person
prove it.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Compare hand sizes.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
another really good one. and a bit less risky than dep’s.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
i was gonna lead with an AIDS joke…
May 6th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Awww, I liked Mystery Men.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
LMFAO!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
And then compare cup sizes.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
So that was you at the movie theatre! LOL!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
I get this strange feeling that Lunk really isn’t trying to help you.
Tell her what you would do with a million dollars.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Dude, I would totally pork Jeanine Garofolo.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Look, I’m not trying to help or hurt Zod. I’m just trying to get boobs in on the conversation, that’s all.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
I loved SuperTed! I grew up watching SuperTed.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
I also loved Captain Planet! Go Planet!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Captain Planet was lame-o. I couldn’t get myself to watch it.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Bro, I agree. I always thought she was cute in a girl next door sort of way. I just thought the joke was fillarious.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
heheh You know Jeanine Garofolo would totally be like “Dude, you’re doing it wrong. Just stop, okay?” in bed.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Jeanine Garofolo, really?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
you are lost, lunk
i always thought of her as the butchy lesbo next door
May 6th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Sweet! WAR!!!!!!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Captain Planet, he’s our hero.
Gonna take pollution down to zero.
He’s our powers magnified
And he’s fighting on the planet’s side.
We’re the Planeteers and you can be one too.
Cause saving our planet is the thing to do.
Looting and polluting is not the way
Hear what Captain Planet has to say.
THE POWER IS YOURS!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
What? What’s wrong with her? You could actually do it with her and then have a conversation afterwards (while doing it again).
May 6th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Yeah, and I would do her with her glasses on. I like dark, edgy chicks though.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Totally. Emo chicks is hot ::high fives::
May 6th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Lunk I am with you on that one.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Lunk values having conversations, that’s cute.
(Just kidding ladies, you know I love you!)
May 6th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Where’s the Jeanine Garofalo exercise video?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Burning in hell would be my guess.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Hot chicks are great to look at, but after being with them you get bored so fast. I like someone with some edge. Plus, I bet Garafalo is a total pig in bed.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
what would you talk about? how much she likes doing women?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
“Total pig in bed” doesn’t really sound flattering, Ramon.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
That’s a bonus!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
oh, sorry, i didnt realizing we were on a search for a soul mate
May 6th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
You know what I’m talking about. It will get really sloppy and squeely….[nudge, nudge, wink, wink]
May 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Dear God, Ramon.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
See, Zoddy’s problem is that she’s neither jail bait nor is she anorexic. Also, her brain has a pulse. Total turnoff for Zoddy.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Rene, check this site on how to do Emo chicks.

I just had to quote that.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
What? Don’t front on me know Danny.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
If we’re going to go into the gutter for the next 100 posts, can we at least do so over someone other than Jeanine Garofalo?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
she has the body of a dude (dick included). i have no problem with non-
jailbait women or smarty-pants women.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Would it be as smutty though if it wasn’t?
Your fantasies != reality.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
If that Uma stalker is acquitted, I am totally gonna start stalking celebrity chicks. What’s to lose?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
LOL!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Friends and family?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Okay, aside from cell phone plans, what’s to lose?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Everyone knows sex with Emo chicks is insane.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Besides, I didn’t say I’d lust after Jeanine Garofolo daily. I just said I’d do her and be happy that I’d done so.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
you also said you wanted to snuggle and talk to her aftewards
May 6th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Dude, think about what you’ll end up having to pay for free nights and weekends and text messaging!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Lunk, you don’t need to explain yourself. I’d bang her too.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
I never said snuggle. And the talking is just so you have something to do while you wait for the next round.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
OK, that seems like a fair compromise. I’m down with that.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:33 pm

Oooooh, $45 for a wireless dual shock for the PS3…. TEMPTING.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
You don’t talk to or hold the woman you have sex with afterwards? She must be really satisfied with your skills as a sexual partner.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Ramon, Zoddy doesn’t like people to bring up his virginity in public.
…
OH NO I DIDN’T!!!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
you may not have said snuggle, but you were thinking it.
::sigh::
May 6th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I was thinking of putting my face in her boobs. If that’s snuggling, so be it.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Have we crossed a line somewhere? Perhaps we should talk about baseball again.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Ouch.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
et tu, lunk?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Shut up, Lunk.
Sorry, Geeks. He lost his mind for a sec.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
I’ll take my share of the responsibility on this one. I should have left the pig and bad lover posts out of it.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
I said nothing! I said nothing! Please don’t feed me to the alligators, Commandante!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:39 pm

You know, this website is going to be doomed the day one of us figures out how to start posting images directly into the html.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Lunk, is that the same controller that comes with the PS3???? do mine not rumble?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
You mean like Ollie’s release point? Stuff like that?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I’m assuming yours come with the Sixaxis controller like mine.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Ummmmmmmmmmmm….. depends on what you mean by “release point”.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
ya, i think so. so those arent rumble ones? is that the main difference?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Oh snap!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
The Sixaxis have motion control which is virtually useless with the Playstation 3. GTA3 has some motion control in it but I’ve so far found it annoying (you can steer the motorcycle by tilting the controller, for instance).
But it doesn’t do vibration.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
hahahaha, i just read that Emo thing and Panic! at the Disco just played on my yahoo radio.
funny.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
gotcha lunk. didnt know that about the motion control. cool cool.
Thanks
Lunch for me!
May 6th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
what the hell is Emo? im fairly confident it means nothing anymore.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
So, Dep. Whats your opinion on Emo chicks?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
yes, emo has lost its meaning.
it used to be some 80s bands and meant “emotional hardcore”
dont ask me what the hell it means anymore.
to me it means you’re really emotional, fragile, pessimistic and all that.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
I think some can be cute. I can dig the black rim glasses sometimes. mostly cant stand them and want nuttin to do with em
I’m not sure on your thesis that emo sex is good sex! I must look into that!!!!! LOL
May 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
EMO= Emotionally hardcore

yes, this is what it means. it was about music.

The problem with pictures of Emo girls is that they put makeup on them to make them look photogenic and then suddenly they don’t look like Emo girls anymore.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
That was a good link from Zod. The history is all there.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Man, I used to listen to Fugazi all the time in college.

This site has turned from metsgeek to emogeek.

Lunk, you are too much of an Emo purist. Some Emo chicks do where makeup.
May 6th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Im lost. I always thought Emo just meant someone that takes things too seriously……is too emotional……..now emo has a certain look? lol
May 6th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Well, it went from Metsgeek to Emogeek by way of HaveSexWithJeanineGarofoloGeek.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Yeah, and that’s a total turnoff, IMO. Hot Emo girls hang out at the coffee shop all day looking sad.

May 6th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
I have no idea Zod……..thats what im trying to figure out lol
May 6th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Here’s a problem:
The Mets are hitting .209/.317/.294 from the 7th inning on.
The worst offenders are Beltran (551 OPS), Church (377 OPS), Delgado (540 OPS) and Castillo (459 OPS).
Only Wright (919 OPS), Reyes (757 OPS) and Schneider (755 OPS) are doing decently.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
yea, as far as i know, theres no such thing as an emo chick. from the descriptions tossed around on here, i’d say they are either hipster chicks or goth chicks or a combination of the two.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
caller on the FAN complaining of inconsistency and “everything falling apart” because we took 2 of 3 from arizona and then lost 1 game to LA.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
lol now it’s back to lack of leadership on the FAN. such a crock of shit.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
You’re just going to hurt your head listening to that drivel, Zoddy.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
dont worry, im not really getting mad. no dark side zod.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
People put too much stock in one months worth of games. I think people are quick to point out oh small sample when talking about players then they go on to say oh the mets are 16-14 the world is about to end lol.
Did anyone really think the Marlins were going to finish first in the NL East? I didnt think so lol.
The offense wasnt there first month for most players. Its hard to imagine that will be the case the entire year.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
not for some people
May 6th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Lol we only lack leadership when we are losing. Its the same thing as chemistry.
There’s been nothing so far that has changed my mind about this team….I still feel they will win the NL East and I still feel they will be mid 90’s in wins.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Holy crap. This would bring out Dark Side Danny.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Thats true lol.
Im not sure why. I mean if Player A has 6000 PA’s and has a career avg of .300 and in April he hits .200…….dont ppl have the logic to realize that its more likely he hits .300 then the .200? (This is of course assuming we have a perfectly healthy player here)
May 6th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Smith has been a great part of our pen this year. Sending him down is a mistake IMO. That might be what happens tho :(
May 6th, 2008 at 1:41 pm

Klapish. This is interesting.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
I think June 1 is a reasonable deadline to see some progress from what Randolph is getting out of the players. The injuries must be taken into account, though.
Willie is on soft ground, that’s for sure.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I’d fire Sandy Alomar. He looks moronic in that helmet. I mean, c’mon.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
wow, willie in trouble
May 6th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
We won the pennant in 2006. Last year was 2007. 2008 isnt done yet so we only failed to win it the PAST YEAR…….am i missing something here? lol
I think its crap honestly. I dont think Omar should be fired at all. Willie OTOH………
May 6th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
I think that was more about Willie having until 6/1 than Omar. Willie will be first to go if the Wilpons aren’t happy. Omar will be next if the season doesn’t turn out to their satisfaction.

The only joke of his I remember was his asking the riddle about what has four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and three legs at night. Answer? A donkey, because it wakes up with four legs and then at lunch you saw two off and then at dinner you glue on one again.

francessa says that horses were bred to race, so they want to run and like it because that is what they were made to do. when they race, they may die — that’s just the way it is.
isn’t this the exact same logic used to justify dog fighting? because pit bulls were bred for fighting, does that mean they like it?

John - the won the division in 2006.
Pennant is the league (NL).
Considering the injuries, I have a hard time dumping Willie June 1. But I’m not going to rail against it. If it happens, it happens.
My question is, who replaces him?
I’m not a big fan of in-season managerial/coach firings unless the guy is COMPLETELY incompetant and there are no extenuating circumstances (injuries). Willie has his problems, but with injuries and slumps, there are excuses. I worry that they are going to get an interim guy that isn’t going to make a difference.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
there are bad vibes surrounding everything willie does.

custer - I disagree on all too often. Two in the last few “big” races is classic small sample size.
The bottom line is that the horses are going to break down at some point when they are run around in a circle while being whipped.
Jockey - “you ready to go”
Horse - “neigh”
I totally agree with your point Dep. We have no idea what the horse wants to do. Last time I checked, Dr. Doolittle is from the movies.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Sam Crawford, oh I remember him. Young fella. Course back in those days your big problem was finding a spot to park the horse and buggy. When the price of feed went up to two cents a pound we said forget it and shot him. (The horse, not Crawford.)
May 6th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Ask Eddie Murphy what the horses want!
He knows!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
I think so, Ramon. You know how teams always replace their managers with someone with an opposite personality. Buck the taskmaster it is!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Danny - it would be interesting to see if they would talk to Buck.
I’m not a big fan.
I’d prefer Oberkfell. No retreads. Though I think the Wiplon’s may prefer someone with “experience” since it is “win now” time.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
and the type of running the horse does in a race is completely different than the running it would do naturally on its own
May 6th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
My question is what to do with the horses after they are finished racing? Isn’t there some type of farm they can be sent to to live in peace? But who will pay for the expense?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
maybe the jockey hires a horse whisperer,,,,,
May 6th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
they live great lives after they’re done racing. if they survive.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
very little if anything was done to save that horse’s life. she was euthanized in the dirt without one drop of mercy. the owner prob said rehab will cost me a fortune, give her the needle. that animal deserved more than that.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Oh, talk about Bobby Valentine part duex.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Dep - Eddie Murphy is too busy knocking up girls and then denying that he is the daddy.
Or picking up tranny hookers.
It’s a tough call.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
I think the mets should hire…………
ME. :)
May 6th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Where are they sent? To their owner’s farms?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
I’m conflicted on horse racing.
If that’s cruel and shouldnt be done, what about horses employed on farms or basically all of rural america?
should they be freed too? its a tricky question
May 6th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Yeah, they will go with experience. Willie was not a retread. That’s another aspect of the new hire being completely opposite of Willie.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
that’s not the story i heard. vet on the FAN said the suffering the horse wouldve gone through wasn’t worth it. if it had only broken one ankle, they couldve saved it.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
LOL. tru tru
May 6th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Horses have been our bitches for a long time. I reckon it shouldn’t change.

May 6th, 2008 at 2:16 pm

May 6th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
only the good ones though me thinks
i dont think the horses that lose all their races become studs
May 6th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
THEY BECOME GLUE!
wacka wacka
I get high off horses
May 6th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
but does farm work put the horse at as much risk as a race?
also, you have to look at the purpose. racing: money/sport. farms/rural america: livelihood and transportation.

I am conflicted on the whole question of animal rights. I have issues giving animals rights. I don’t want to be sadistic and cruel to them, but I hate the discourse which treats their lives as so invaluable when I walk through downtown Manhattan and see homeless people walked all over and ignored while racing horses are bred to live maginificent lives. Excuse me if I don’t shed a tear for one that gets put down. Some kid is on the street with no food as we speak.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
The race horses are treated about a million times better than work horses.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
the risk is a good point.
but to me the purpose is irrelevant and should not be a deciding factor.
I think the racemaker has as much right to make money as the farmer.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
but there is no connection between the two. are the people starving because some horses are being pampered?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Last year somebody ran this editorial written by a guy who manages a free clinic talking about how there’s millions of people who can’t afford any health care past Robotussin, but they spent $__________ trying to save Barbaro. Values, priorities, something something.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
even if he makes the money by putting the horse at risk?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
PETA is so stupid though. they had some great points in the material they released, but they completely drowned it in their annoying rhetoric.
and the heads of horse racing basically bent over and pulled their pants down.
nothing will change. they dont care
May 6th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
I’m sure the heavy farm work takes years off the life of horse vs. running free and doing no work.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
i saw some close-up pictures of eight belles’ last moments. she was looking at the people around her seemingly saying “please help me”. and what did she get? a quick bottom line analysis and a dirty needle in her neck.
and quite frankly she didn’t look like she was in unbearable pain to me..
May 6th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
its ridiculous to say a farm-horse is at no risk.
they die too. all the time.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Yeah, but Barbaro had made that ownership so much money, it seemed appropriate to try and spare his life if he could continue to live comfortably.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
you could make this argument using a million different examples; i dont see the reason to single out animals. a lot of athletic programs at large universities assign portions of the budget to doing the athletes laundry and dry cleaning — that money would be better used to feed hungry people too.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
custer - the horse broke both ankles. By euthanizing her, they showed mercy. The poor horse couldn’t stand. From the little I know, horses need to be able to move/stand to survive. (If that is not correct, my apologies, I’m going on what I’ve heard from people I work with who claim to know about horses. I know about horses is equal to Chris Russo’s knowledge of hockey, bubkis).
I think people now expect every horse who gets hurt to get the Barbaro treatment, and that is unfair. The measures taken for Barbaro were extreme.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
I think there is a definite connection in an economy where the distribution of resources and food is so unequal that animals owned by rich owners whether they be cats, dogs, horses, etc. are so much better fed and taken care than the millions odd homelss children who are too poor to afford medicine, shelter or a steady meal.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
its part of a free society.
People can spend on whatever they want in this country.
if someone wants to spend $1B on horses and not give a penny to the homeless, that is their right.
maybe they burn in hell for it, maybe they dont. who knows.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
yea, i guess it’s pretty complicated. the fact that the horses are dying for sport seems important to me.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
They have to be able to stand, Ed. It’s something about their blood and circulation or something. One of my friend’s wife is a veterinarian that specializes in horses.
The people that own horses LOVE them. Almost universally from my experience. I think they are among the most pampered of (somewhat) domesticated animals.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
i just don’t think well-cared-for animals with rich owners are at the center of this imbalanced distribution of resources
May 6th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Exactly its all about money. I just find animal rights to be a rediculous agenda in a society where human rights aren’t even universally respected. The poorest human being should be treated as well as the richest race horse with gaurantees to food, shelter and medicine. Until then, I don’t put animal rights as a priority on my social justice agenda. Sorry, that’s the way I feel.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
a horse brakes or dislocates a leg, its over. 99% of the cases nothing can be done because there is no way to keep them off their feet long enought to heal the injury. They just re-injure
May 6th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
RELIKUDUS!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
I mean, yeah, it’s not as if the billionaire racehorse owner would otherwise put a hundred million into microlending in Kazakhstan. A free society is going to create inequities of wealth, what can you do ehhhhhhhhhh,,,,,
Any baseball news? Any more exercise videos going spare?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
From my experience, horses seem to love running. Of course, it’s impossible to say for sure.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
so are the grand champion pit bulls. the owners “love” them and keep them in great shape and are sad when they go. i think the parallel is there.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
custer - I understand where you are coming from. It was a sad thing. But what was done is what people have done to injured horses seemingly forever.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
The parallel to dogfighting is such an enormous leap, Zod. You are talking about maybe 1 in 1,000 horses that get injured in horse racing. Dogs are guaranteed to get injured in dogfighting.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
**disclaimer** i love horse racing because a summer day at Saratoga is about the best event experience one could imagine.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
no doubt. running is different that racing, though.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
I think shea and mookie03 are getting ready to give Jessica some seed money to launch Metsgeekforwomen.com
May 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
No, they are not at the center of the issue. I agree with this. My argument is that this overt concern for their well-being and the fact that many of them live comparitively better lives than many human beings, is indicative of the larger problem regarding the distribution of economic resources. I find it to be a most startling social contradition which reveals so very much.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
yea, the risk of injury is less, but i find it disturbing that the same logic is used to justify both. that means something, in my opinion.
they are bred for it, so they like it. it’s what they were meant to do.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Yes. But what does that have to do with cruelty to animals?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
the number is %.04 of horses involved in racing. i have no idea what the rate is among regular “work” horses. i do know that the number has gotten higher since the breeding has become more focused on speed, and less on heartyness
May 6th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
What about cockfighting? Do the cocks love it? Do the owners love their cocks? Should we put Pedro down if he tweaks his other ankle?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I just giggled a little.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
yea, this is just a reflection of PEOPLE living different lives in terms of the resources they possess. i don’t see this as a reason to not care about animal rights.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I mean, I think it’s ridiculous to compare dogfighting and horse racing. One is inherently cruel and violent. The other carries a slight risk of injury.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
It all depends on how you define freedom. To some (usually those with the money) its the freedom to invest their money as they see fit. To others, its the freedom from want. The freedom from hunger, from disease, etc. In respect, our society is free in another it is not.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
no, it’s REDiculous, get with the program Danny
May 6th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
but why take ANY risk of injuring an animal for sport?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
So we should cancel all sports, Zod. There’s a risk of injury in all of them.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
I’m sort of on your side on this but consider this: the Iditarod.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Just another word for nothin’ left to lose?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
That’s beside the point. People can make the conscious choice to take the risk.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
huh?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
I think the fact that in order to get maximum value from a race horse you must pamper them. They must get the best food, have a vast area to run around and get the best medications. There’s a reason only really rich people own horses. They lived incredibly charmed lives as far as work animals go, they really don’t need your pity.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Does the horse choose to work on the farm?
The race horse lives a frackin charmed life compared to his peers.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Do horses still work on farms? Seriously, I have no idea.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
that’s why i think it matters what the horse is being used for. an animal dying for sport just seems wrong to me.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Unless we want the horses to run free in the wilderness, I don’t see how horse racing is cruel in any way, outside of the excessive use of the whip, which I oppose.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Yeah, horses work on farms. They work as cabs,too.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Its not that I don’t not care about animals rights. Like I said, I don’t wish unecessary harm on animals. But I am concerned with crusading on its behalf. I am kind of whatever with regards to it because I think it distracts from more important issues in our society. Its funny that people are clamoring for horses to be taken care of by their owners with guarantees for food, shelter, medicine. If I asked that the same treatment be given to the homeless or poorest sector of our society, I’d be called a Communist and dismissed.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
no, there are no horses plowing fields or hauling grain anymore. Farms are factories, the quaint cottage with animals scurrying all over hasn’t existed for 40 years.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
i dunno, not all horses are successful. some are very disinterested in races and do not compete because of this. there was a 15 million dollar 2 year old that didn’t end up racing because it didnt want to. all the right blood lines but it didnt want to race. any horse you see in the derby is great at it because they have a certain drive to excel. i know i sound like a kook here
May 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
danny, you’re kind of saying it’s ok for an animal to die for sport as long as you are really nice to it up until that point.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Horses still haul stuff on smaller farms.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
The risk is extremely minimal and still better than the alternative, Zod.
Do you want to free all horses and let them roam?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
if small farms still existed in this country, I suppose they may employ a horse here or there.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Haha, I live in Va. I seen it!
This is ourrrrrr country…
May 6th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
sounds like you’re thinking for the horse
i dont buy the concept of a horse wanting to win a race
May 6th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
There’s definitely farms here……..LOTS lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
horses racing is an industry that give jobs to thousands. the qquestion should be how to make it more humane i supppose.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
I like seeing the horses that roam free near Beaufort N.C. They are protected, no one is allowed to go on the islands they inhabit. Their bodies have adapted to be able to drink salt water, since there is little fresh water on the islands.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
its called making the horses do something so HUMANS CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT.
the activity they make them do, as long as its legal, is irrelevant.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
\
That I believe a concern for a cruelty to animals in society where cruelty to humans is hypocritical and that is why I am conflicted on the issue. This is all. I don’t know what to do about it was my point.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
why are some horses better than others with the same skill set? one wins 15 mill over its career, the other makes 50k.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
How can you dismiss it? That’s the same as knowing it’s what the horse wants.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
let them be taken care of by their owners. i cant get past
using a horse for sport/entertainment when you know there
is a chance it could die.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Last week we tried to determine what was going through the minds of various Mets players.
Today, horses.
Tomorrow - who knows…
May 6th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Seabiscuit said he wanted to win.
its in his book! LOL
May 6th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
How about horses used by cops? you think the horse signed up to be potentially shot at?
that’s another one
May 6th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
lol ed and dep
May 6th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
seriously, no one likes to bet on horses? house takes its 15% but you can completely beat the game because humans move the odds.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
I like to mess around at racetracks, absolutely. fun stuff.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Tell me about your mudder
and your fadder
May 6th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Zod you’re being stubborn. There are many shades of gray concerning this issue. Your making a stand on perhaps the most humanely treated set of sporting animals in the world quite frankly.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
My mudder was a mudder!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
the ponies on chincoteague/assateague are the same. absolutely beautiful animals. remember the marguerite henry “misty” books?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
May 6th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
I treat my slaves real good too!
::FLAME ON!!!!::
May 6th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
they can die anything. farm equipment can blow up and take out horses. they can die from pulling something too heavy. risk is everywhere.
you have to move past the sport/entertainment. that’s the wrong way to look at things IMO.
they are ALL money makers. just making money different ways
to say a farmer has more right to use a horse than a racemaker does is RELIKUDUS to me
May 6th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Yes, Ed watched way too much Abbott and Costello back in the day on Channel 11.
11 ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
im not really dismissing it. im just saying you can’t know what a horse wants. i think you can say that horse definitely doesnt want to die.
right, i think the second line is what’s in question here. should this be allowed?
because, like i said, the logic in the first line of your post can also be applied to dogfighting.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Ed, did you see the kitty videos I posted earlier?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
something about high quality horse racing brings in high quality ladies. oh yea, its the money. gambling, ladies and booze. it is my happy zone, although i completely see the shiettyness of it. i just dont care i suppose
May 6th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
I completely agree with that.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Custer - never read the book, though my oldest daughter has one.
She tried to read it but couldn’t get into it. Maybe when she is a little older.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
that is a fair question.
but be careful what you say it should be illegal because of.
i guarantee there will be a whole slew of other horses used in similar ways that you didnt think of.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I think we should buy every small farm a mini tractor. And then give Wyoming to the horses.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I think the whip should be outlawed for horse racing. Many horse racing experts say that it’s not even necessary. THAT’s where I would focus for change.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Lunk - can’t view at work (blocked). Will view at home.
Thanks for posting them.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Blocked? Damn, that sucks. It’s just cute kittens playing!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
sport vs. protecting human life. i think the distinction is pretty clear.
for me, the purpose behind the risk is key.
so again, it’s ok to risk death as long as youre really nice to it until that point?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
they should also do away with dirt tracks.
apparently the new synthetic stuff cuts down on accidents by .5% or something. it adds up imo
May 6th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
if you have a problem exploiting horses because of damage it could do to the animals ,what about the porn industry?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Lunk - sadly, they don’t want me looking at pussycats at work.
They actually block all videos.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
but zod, its something like 1.5% of races have accidents.
that’s something like 1 in a 1000 horse or whatever.
you better make sure farm horses dont die at a quicker rate.
otherwise the risk argument is toast.
Yes, 2 very high profile accidents.
but they are not as commonplace as people are thinking here.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Since humans get to make the choices, anything goes!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
But porn brings us so much joy!!!!!!!!!!!
LEAVE OUR PORN ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
sport sport sport
you completely ignore the right of the racemaker to MAKE A LIVING.
that’s your downfall
you think all these other people have the right to make a living, but the racemaker doesnt because he makes horses run in a circle.
that’s ridiculous.
we should ban pony shows too.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
all money, the synthetics help prevent the devastating injuries but increase the small ones. so the horses would be scratched more. and it makes it more difficult for me to handicap
May 6th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I cannot believe this discussion on horses.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Dep, from pants earlier:
May 6th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
they are a little on the old fashioned side. there is a whole series of misty stories.
i visited the actual misty “ranch” in chincoteague. misty is still there (stuffed)
May 6th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
yea, here we’re seeing it differently again because i distinguish the two cases because of the purpose behind the risk.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
#
LOL! we dont want that!
May 6th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Dep - I made a similar point earlier. Small sample size. Two accidents in the last two years. And it had been how many years since the last one?
May 6th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
the purpose is for some human to make money
THAT IS THE PURPOSE
the same purpose as 99.8% of the other applications horses are used for.
you thumb your nose at sport, but you miss the point.
the point behind sport is to make money.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
anything worse for your audience though than to have them tune in for your feature event and see one of your stars die in front of their eyes? yikes
May 6th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
that’s a crazy low #.
I wish I knew fatalities from other horsies in industry.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Zod, it’s no different than when Steven Abootman and his fellow Canadiens went on strike for MORE MONEY.
Open up your heart, man.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
i think you have a valid point. i also think my way of approaching the situation is valid.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
the point behind sport is to make money.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
zod, do you feel horse racing should be illegal?
If so, then I totally get where you are coming from.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:00 pm

May 6th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Lets all watch Hidalgo!
yeah!
lol
May 6th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Could be full of shit though. LOL. I got it from drf.com (Daily racing form)
May 6th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
There are so many other activities involving animals that are legal that are so much crueler than horse racing. Like basically every other one involving an animal.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
LOL!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
cool pants, totally.
i bet there’s a TON of “unsanctioned” racing going on in parts of this country too that dont hit those stats.
i bet they pump out glue daily.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
He lets Hidalgo go in the end. Because all Hidalgo wants is the freedom to run with the horsers.
Hidalgo proved Zod’s point.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
I still dont get how Hidalgo go the hell up.
he got stabbed like a thousand times.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Dog racing is much worse. Dogs are treated so bad. I only go there for the 50 cent hot dog and beer specials (and to launder money of course)
May 6th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
i get that this is the way you see it, but i think there is more to the purpose of horse racing than money. isn’t it also supposed to be fun for everyone that watches? isnt that why people watch it on tv? surely people watching on tv arent concerned with the owner making money (i mean, they might be, but you get my point).
May 6th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Santa’s Little Helper!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Don’t forget the trailer park wives! HOT!!!!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Horses are pretty amazing athletes. They are huge, well-built, and really fast. And the fact that they are so trainable adds to their allure.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Maybe we could sanction bum fights as the national pastime and then we can make tons of money off of it so we can argue for their humane treatment. It could solve the homeless situation.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
yea, i think so. that’s why my view isn’t really affected by the low percentage of horses that are injured. .001% seems like enough for me.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Ed, if you can get to Youtube, here is the same video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g93MMg_At6c&eurl=http://anotherlolcatzblog.blogspot.com/
May 6th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
right, but “purpose” has to be viewed from the originator of the activity right?
Its designed to be fun, to yes get people to go watch it and yes, to get people to watch it on TV
but in the end that is all designed so people spend money on it and thus the owner makes money.
Horse-racing is not designed to be fun and pretty for people that dont bet on it or dont spend money on it in some way.
those people get a free ride, but the race-makers dont give a flying fuck about them.
the more hype, the more people that watch it, the more hoopla = more ppl willing to spend money on it. = more money in the owners pockets

May 6th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
and that’s cool.
If you think horse racing should be illegal, then clearly you are against it and i get that.
I’m torn
May 6th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
yes that is exactly what I had in mind
May 6th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
How can we sanction events were humans can die like Nascar, but then want to eliminate horse racing? I mean, really, just because the horse can’t “decide” to race? That’s the only reason?
May 6th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
post 79 was not meant to elicit a response
May 6th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Zod, you’re dogfighting parallel is absurd and undermines your entire argument.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
That’s a pretty big reason.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
i think free will is pretty huge
May 6th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
No, it’s not. It’s a HORSE. Not a human.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Zod is a stringy beanpole.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Exactly.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
so anyone think there is another horse with a shot to win the preakness? lol
May 6th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
So then people shouldn’t have animals as pets? Free will, right? Where do you draw the line?
May 6th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
i was joking, but i dont think the parallel is absurd. cases and arguments are proven using extreme examples; that’s how philosophical and ethical arguments are made.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
I wonder if everyone’s pet dogs REALLY REALLY wants to be a pet.
free will is an interesting thing and if pushed too much can cause some unexpected answer imo
May 6th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Yeah, and then when it becomes institutionalized and the anti-bum fighting activists protest we can all herd them up and free them into Wyoming so they can range free collecting change and picking garbage like nature intended them to. It’ll be beautifult, like Hidalgo.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
The chicken probably didn’t want me to eat it last night either.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
hahahaha, bums need a PETA.
PEBA!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Horse racing is a humane sport with a microscopic risk of injury. It seems like a curious target to me.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
hahahaha, bums need a PETA.
PETB doesnt have the same ring
May 6th, 2008 at 3:11 pm

Richard Hidalgo did have a hell of a month for the mets!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Yes, any non-vegetarian crying for animal free will is kinda comical.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
not all race horses are treated as well as these thoroughbreds
free will is how you distinguish b/w human and animal sports; it’s not why i think race horsing is wrong.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
HOW CAN I REEEEEEECH DEEEEEZ KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDZ??!?!?!??!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Yes and no. Cats and dogs became domesticated because they were drawn to people, mostly out of scavenger instincts. After a while, the animals realized the beneficial traits of hanging with people.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
May 6th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
HA!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
the harness horses are treated extremely well. i owned a stake in one and the couple thousand in maintence fees a month made sure they were hooked up
May 6th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
I am not so sure my dog was completely domesticated. Its not that simple IMO.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
It’s not. There’s a difference between wanting to hang around humans, eatting their scraps and sleeping in a cage and walking around on a leash.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
was it part wolf/coyote/jackal?
May 6th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
bullfighting and rodeos and any Garrafolo movies need to be stopped.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Speaking of Garafolo…. make her squeeze like a pig, Ramon!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
well on a different note. the spin doctors are playing a free festival here in albany this weekend. awesome (not really) last year it was joan jett.
we get arrested development later this summer!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
if you read a textbook on ethical issues, it is filled with absurd cases and examples…far more absurd than comparing horse racing to dog fighting. extreme examples are how logic is ironed out and arguments are fine-tuned.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
She was Siberean Huskey….
Yeah Baby, YEAH!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Dep, you need to find the sexiest picture of Jeanine Garafolo you can find.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
I’m also convinced that the average housecat isn’t domesticated at all. If they were larger animals, around the size of large house dog I believe they would attack most humans.

May 6th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
You know what Im talking about. You know…. ;)
May 6th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
But Laura San Giacomo is different in one key way.
She left her boobs the way God intended them to be. GINORMOUS!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
horses, definitely horses!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
where did this all start anyways……….all this garafolo stuff lol
*looks at Dep
May 6th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I’ve served Garafalo drinks, she nothing to look at obv and not much of a tipper either.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
not me. i wasnt even here when it started!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Color me a Garofalo apologist but I think she looks pretty dang cute in this picture.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
lol must be fooks fault then :)
May 6th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Ramon - I have a slightly different take.
You think she would be a pig in bed.
I just think she is a pig.
Make that a huge difference.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
eh, not particularly.
if i was at bar and she tried to pick me up and she made me laugh, i would take her home and give it to her properlike. just cuz its her.
pure superficially speaking, no.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I know, don’t you hate it when people mess with God’s creation? Like when a horse is put to race for money. They should outlaw brest reduction, it doesn’t respect the rights of the breasts. I mean, breasts don’t have free will either, no?
BTW, I’d bang San Giacomo rotten.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
she is not bad. not disgusting looking is the term i use.
but on the hollywood scale I’d like to think we’ve somewhat established. she’s not even a 1 on a 10 pt scale.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
So I still think Cassanova should start tonight :)
May 6th, 2008 at 3:33 pm

May 6th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
oh yes. hopefully he will. figgy is pitching, they seem to jive well.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
I’d take cute-Garofalo in that pic over Mischa Barton and her lower half made of cottage cheese any day of the week.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
But then again, if you were to meet 99 percent of Hollywood actresses you would see that they are A.) made up with more makeup than the average clown and B.) dumber than rocks and very egoistic. They would turn off most dudes in a second after banging them.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
hahahaha.
Non Disgusting Garofalo Pic > Mischa Barton Cottage Cheese Ass Pic
I can agree on that one
May 6th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
oh man my girl is having major surgery tomorrow morning…….im doing everything I can to NOT think about it lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
ill take the cottage cheese….
May 6th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
that is true.
i like to ignore such things when we play the hollywood rank’em game!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:36 pm

May 6th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
haha nah thats ok dep……I just want tomorrow to be over with fast and everything to be ok.
Thanks Ed.
The stats kinda freak me out…….ive read anywhere between 1 in 50 and 1 in 1000 death risk.
Theres a huge difference between those numbers. Kinda wish I didnt see the 1 in 50.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
She is so hot in a rustic Italian way. I like shorter chicks with big breastesses, so I am down with you on that.
Yeah, but she deserves points for once having DD titties. I knew there was something hidden about her I liked.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
good thoughts, john, good thoughts…
May 6th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
So, I try to study for a few hours, and I miss a heated debate on animal rights, a “WTF is emo anyway” discussion, and the usual celeb ogle-a-thon. Just another day at the Geek.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Until I have visual confirmation of Garafalo’s cheese, I cannot in good conscience jump to the conclusion such dairy exists. Bartons’ turgid thighs deserve nothing but scorn; especially if we’re using lofty celebrity standards!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
*sends good thoughts john’s way*
May 6th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Sorry, I was on the phone.

May 6th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Yes must be positive. lol
I still dont know what an emo chick is lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Stay positive is right John. I’m sure she’ll be ok. we got ya back.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:43 pm

From everything I read about the Dr he’s performed this surgery so many times and everyone thats had him seems to absolutely love him. So hopefully everything goes well.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
maybe you’re better off with girls, at least you know where to put it,,,,
May 6th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Did you see the titties? And you are worried about her near unibrow?
May 6th, 2008 at 3:46 pm

May 6th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Uh oh. We got Ramon worked up.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
wow. i had no idea they were so big.

I would be too, they are monsters.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
See you
in hellat game time!May 6th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Half Lebonese. But I know, its stupid since she isn’t full-blooded Mexican. Although he is at least a Mexican national. Monicca Bellucci is the one who is half Persian.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Oh well I tried to change topics with the Cassanova catching but it seems like we are on a one way topic of garafolo lol.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
wait, is this directed at me?
May 6th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Who else could it be?!?!?!?!? muuuuuhahahahahhahaha
May 6th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Hot damn. But what are Kate Beckinsale, Helena Bonham Carter, and Scarlett Johansson doing?
May 6th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Rachel Weisz is sooooo fucking hot! I am down with you Simons.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:48 pm

May 6th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
lol
May 6th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
she’s so yummy in everything. i heart the hell outta her.
I’ll watch the Mummy just for her. i think she is the definition of adorable in that.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Crooked witch nose, but hot.
Looks like she is a leukemia ridden albino with bags under her eyes.
Hot, but also a superbitch from what I have heard.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
francessa says that kobe beats paul in every stat except
assists. that true?
May 6th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
she’s rumored to have a prominent role in SinCity2
we’ll see.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
maybe silly stats that only noobs use to evaluate things.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Ramon, Beckinsale said she’d rather lick the rug than eat sushi. That’s hot in and of itself.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
I kinda figured Kobe would get MVP this year……..tho you could have made a good case for Paul
May 6th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Paul had the best season, deserves it WAY more than Kobe.
I’m a kobe fan that wants Kobe to get it this year and i can admit that.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Check these tig ol’ bitties!
http://bix.yimg.com/images/QAFEhNZLfh.jpg
May 6th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Lebron is the argument vs. Paul
Kobe aint even in the picture compared to those two.
i dont care!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
COWABUNGA Ramon!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
I don’t watch enough NBA for me to make a determination…….but I figured since Kobe didnt have one, that they would give him one.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Go Celtics :)
May 6th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Didn’t know that. She seems like one of those very uptight chicks who are freakish in bed were they unleash it all. You know what I’m talking about. You know… ;)
May 6th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
that have some high end stats like PER that help break down things.
I dont love basketball stats.
it aint like baseball.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
does kobe lead paul in scoring, rebounding, and steals?
May 6th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
PPG
Kobe > Paul
Rebounds Per Game
Kobe > Paul
Steals Per Game
Paul > Kobe
kobe also averages 3 minutes more per game. something to keep in mind
per minute stats are better than per game
May 6th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Yeah I never really gotten into other sports stats……..actually I take that back…….college basketball……but even that…..its nowhere close to baseball.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Chris paul has more steals and a higher FG percentage from what I hear.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
works over
Later ppls :)
May 6th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Assists also drive me crazy in the NBA.
I wanna know what people shot off passes from you.
assist is totally dependent on the jackass you pass to making the shot and its such a big deal stat. i want more info behind it.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
paul has a higher fg% by 3%. im not sure if that’s significant.
do you have to add blocks as well? i bet kobe has more. what about 4th quarter scoring and game-winning shots/assists?
May 6th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
What a stupid article:
May 6th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
3% is rather significant for NBA players.
especially when you break it down for top end players.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/stats/bycategory?cat=Fielding&sort=25
May 6th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
kobe shoots 45%, not 40%.
and since when is chandler an all star?
May 6th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
lol @ that article.
whatever.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
\
Um that makes a pretty big difference when you shot as much as they do.
It is, and how about this. Paul TO to Assist ratio is almost 1 to 5. That is insane.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
i didnt even read the mcgrady part
May 6th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
i asked a question. no need to, um, be catty.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Yea, the assist/TO ratio is where Paul really gets crazy value from.
he had an amazing year.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
She’s an actress. You know she’s found her inner child, you know what I mean?
May 6th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
How’d you like to see a sweater on that!
/end channelling of Potsie Webber
May 6th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Well Paul shoots higher, which means he’s even more amazing. BTW, I think avearges around 1 more steal a game than Kobe….that is alot.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Fair enough. I just love Chris Paul’s game and I think its a travesty that Kobe wins it over him.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
zod, you should read up on PER if you really wanna see how to put all these stats together to get some more meaning out of them.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
i was addressing the article, not saying that kobe shot for a better percentage than paul.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
FREE KOBE!!!!!
Paul just has to stay healthy for one more season, do it again and he’ll get it next year.
it will be ok
May 6th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
sure. first ill read up on what “PER” is.
what about 3 point FG% and FT%? ill take kobe in those.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Paul wins both!
May 6th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
PER = Player Efficiency Rating. Its not a bad way to put all this stuff together.
you’ll have to read at home. its ESPN
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?id=2850240
May 6th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Yeah amd sometimes that inner child is naughty and needs to be spanked.
How about this lovely lady? I did her soooo very much.

Indians ended up designating Michaels instead of Laroche. Not like we need another righty outfielder….
May 6th, 2008 at 4:09 pm

May 6th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
HAHA!
May 6th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Monica Bellucci? Yeah, she’s okay…. TO HAVE YOUR WAY WITH!!!
Can you believe she’s in her 40’s?

So Hot.
Want to touch the hiney.

No kidding. And the gf is working a little late tonight!!! :)

A pure freak of nature. She is the human incarnation of Venus goddess of beauty on Earth.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Lunk - Laroche is on the Indians?
May 6th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
ooooh, nice lunk nice.
I wanna finish that Bernie mission! cops going down tonight.
last nite i got 3 stars. good lordy, i could not get away for the life of me. the entire map was a blip type thing.
I guess maybe a paint shop would save me.
I tried the water and got gunned down from a cop-boat
May 6th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Brucie Not Bernie! LOL
dats one spicy meatball!

I saw you guys make the natural transition from horses to Garofolo.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
You wish!!!! LOL
May 6th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Careful with the respray shops. They only work now if no cops are in the area. If they see you go in, it won’t help.
I found the easiest way to ditch cops is to jump on a motorcycle and then go down the insane alleys. You’ll lose them in a second.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
True Danny.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:14 pm

May 6th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
May 6th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
LMAO dep
I gotta agree on the Garaflo part though.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
right right, cool.
but 3 stars = choppers and they have crazy wide range of their blip even if they dont see you at the time. I’ll have to try again.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Of course the writers took note of San Giacomo’s boobs.
How the hell could they miss them?
May 6th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Ummmm… she must be very entertaining to watch do gymnastics….
May 6th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Oh, that Zodder!
May 6th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Hahahahaahahahahah. I’m still saying I’d hit it three times in one night.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Rene, I loved Gargoyles.
Dep, I suggest you see her in this movie Malèna. She is naked alot of the time and she goes down on some pubescent kid in it. I’d buy that for a dollar! But don’t see her in Irréversible. That movie is super depressing. Its a total downer.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
her boobs are so big. i had no idea.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Lunk - Isn’t Laroche on the Pirates?
May 6th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
hahaha GET OUT! I will add Malena to the list! thanks.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I’ve seen that scene on the internet. Uncomfortable.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Andy Laroche, his third baseman brother from Cleveland.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Andy is on the Dodgers no?

holy crapperz timmy. i wasnt ready for that!
May 6th, 2008 at 4:20 pm

ahhhh, yes yes. There’s Damaso Marte (doubt they’re related! LOL)
maybe in the minors somewhere
May 6th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Lunk - Marte, Laroche. Close. I could see how you made the mistake.

See, that’s where we differ, Ramon. You want to be reincarnated as that thong. I want to be reincarnated as the guy that has sex with her.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Lunk wins.

Heh, true.

May 6th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
eh, it was a little ambiguous
May 6th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
I thought he was referring to the dimple in her butt.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
By the way, in a baseball related statement, it’s unfair that Fukodome comes into baseball and instantly hits .330 while Matsui came in and barely could hit .270. UNFAIR!

Vida Guerra from the back > Her from the front
May 6th, 2008 at 4:54 pm

May 6th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
No way, Zodder. We want you out of the publishing trade and into a career that pays real cash money.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
So wrong. So wrong.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:55 pm

By the way, Ramon, I’ll have you know that now that I have a locker and gym clothes on the premises, I am using the company gym almost every day.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:59 pm

Awesome Lunk. That toe will be back in your mouth any day now!
May 6th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
hey, if someone is looking at what sites you are looking.
you should quit. you work for nazi’s.
it didnt have nudity. its SFW, i dont care what the title is
that’s yo problem.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Great man, might as well use it since its free.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
later
May 6th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Exactly. Plus my girlfriend can use it so it’s essentially a free gym membership for both of us.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Free gym memberships are pretty awesome.

May 6th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
That’s the one where you look at it and go “Yeah, that’s what her reverse cowgirl would look like….”
May 6th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
That’s sweet. I usually see couples come in and work out together, that’s really cute. Of course, it also means you can’t oggle hot chicks in the gym either.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
It’s a small gym. Hard to ogle without being noticed. Plus, honestly, the hotty to notty ratio is something like 1 hotty per 10 notties. At least so far.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I look angry when I exercise and the girls afraid of me.
Yeah, that’s it.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Yup. Stone. Cold. Fact.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Are you sure it’s not your sly wink? I thought that got them every time!
May 6th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Just pj.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
LOL, me too. I am so fucking pissed off when I run and lift I start staring around with vile face. It makes everyone shy away from me.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
If i ever had the chance with little Ms. Vida, i mean s**t, it would be over for me b4 it even started.
I might ruin my pants on the car ride home LOL
May 6th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
I didn’t think you needed the wink with pj. I thought your raw animal magnetism drew him through the crowd.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
f### the car ride. I’d drop her right on the floor then and there before she had a chance to change her mind (ie. sober up).
May 6th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Oh, man. That’s a minus. Well, then it cool to have your lady there. Working out can be drag sometimes without a hottie to interact with. At least this way you know she already likes you. :)
May 6th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
I’d really have fun with those ass-globes if I were to invade Vida
May 6th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
The move is to go the bathroom and pregame.
May 6th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
I still flex every now and then just to get her attention. :)
May 6th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Just think: Margeret Tatcher naked on cold rainy day! Margeret Tatcher naked on cold rainy day!
May 6th, 2008 at 5:09 pm

Pulp Shakespeare
Jules: Your pardon; did I break thy concentration?
Continue! Ah, but now thy tongue is still.
Allow me then to offer a response.
Describe Marsellus Wallace to me, pray.
Brett: What?
J: What country dost thou hail from?
B: What?
J: Thou sayest thou dost hail from distant What?
I know but naught of thy fair country What.
What language speak they in the land of What?
B: What?
J: English! Dost thou speak it, wh0reson cur?
B: Aye!
J: Then hearken to my words and answer them!
Describe to me Marsellus Wallace!
B: What?
JULES presses his knife to BRETT’s throat
J: Speak ‘What’ again! Thou cur, cry ‘What’ again!
I dare thee utter ‘What’ again but once!
I dare thee twice and spit upon thy name!
Now, paint for me a portraiture in words,
If thou hast any in thy head but ‘What’,
Of Marsellus Wallace!
B: He is dark…
J: Aye, and what more?
B: His head is shaven bald.
J: Hath he the semblance of a harl0t?
B: What?
JULES strikes and BRETT cries out.
J: Hath he the semblance of a harl0t?!
B: Nay!
J: Then why didst thou attempt to bed him thus?
B: I did not!
J: Aye, thou didst! O, aye, thou didst!
Thou sought to r@pe him like a chattel wh0re!
And sooth, Lord Wallace is displeased to bed
With aught but Lady Wallace, whom he wed.

tim, they don’t call detroit “hockeytown” for no reason…
rabid fan base, flying octopi, a great arena, sharp uniforms… management is highly motivated to put a topnotch product on the ice
May 6th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
did they call it hockey town in the 80’s?
May 6th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
I meant the deadwing era, from the 60’s till 80’s. What was the defining moment that made them a dynasty…was it Stevie Y?
May 6th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
detroit was always hockeytown. they just didn’t paint it on center ice back then. and yes, i would credit yzerman as the franchise savior. he is like our babe ruth, maybe noot statistically, but in spirit..
