Guys, Willie knew that today was the day Feliciano was going to suck. He saw it in his eyes before the game.

Why would you ever stop drinking yourself into a stupor, 2008? That’s silly talk.

Ha Danny. Good point. Maybe I’ll just quit the crying, lol

Guys, you have to laugh at it. You can’t get too worked up over this game. We will win it anways. And besides, it only brings Willie closer to the brink of destruction here with the Mets.

That’s the spirit, 2008. Don’t let Willie take alcohol away from you!

I think if you put Bobby V’s in game with Willies pre and post game you have a pretty good manager. Bobby was pretty good with the pen

You know what I find hillarious? Is that disgusted, sourpuss face on Willie when one his masterplan moves blow up in his face. Classic.

Yeah, Willie really has a clubhouse that responds to him. its not like he alienated Reyes or pissed all over his non-favorite, non-veteran players before.
Comment posted by Danny on May 10, 2008 at 4:15 pm (#688026)
Keppinger sure looks terrible on defense just like the Mets claimed.
Comment posted by metswin2008 on May 10, 2008 at 4:15 pm (#688027)
Willie doesnt want to beat them badly and then have to play them again tonight.
If its close its not so bad and they wont want revenge.
That Willie Randolph is a Genious!!!
Comment posted by metswin2008 on May 10, 2008 at 4:16 pm (#688028)
I meant more on how he doesnt shoot of at the mouth like Bobby V.
But, yea, point well taken, lol

In March 2008, WWE superstar Montel Vontavious Porter said in an interview that he based his wrestling persona on Marbury. M.V.P. said he had an encounter with Marbury when he was a doorman at a club.[

LOL at using Sosa for the 9th
Comment posted by Danny on May 10, 2008 at 4:18 pm (#688031)
Willie should have used Sosa for 3 innings today, if he was going to do this.
So much for being the long guy.

LOL at using Sosa for the 9th
I know! LOL! Le tme repost this blurb from MC Lite:
The Mets have made 115 pitching changes this season, second most in the major leagues behind the Braves, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
…it’s a telling stat, because, in addition, they have also thrown the second fewest innings of any bullpen…which means, Willie Randolph is essentially going wild with the one-and-done scenario…use a guy, then use another guy, then use another guy…etc…
Also according to Elias, the Mets have been outscored by 28 runs during the seventh and eighth innings, tying them with the Padres for the worst run differential in those innings in the majors

At least Griffey will be not in the lineup against Pelf.

i did not see the game, but the box score tells me aaron & johan were mirror images of each other today… serviceable, not superior performances for both.
ps i wonder if there will be tailgating on a colossal scale in the shea parking lots between games…
Comment posted by lucienlc on May 10, 2008 at 4:44 pm (#688051)
Willie just said that Johan wasn’t feeling that well today; he was having major allergy issues and wasn’t that strong. If so, he did well to fight through that way. He also said, if I heard him right, that Church was a bit under the weather.
Comment posted by Lunkwill Fook on May 10, 2008 at 4:45 pm (#688052)
I wonder if that means Church will sit game 2.

Santana now talking about his allergies. They bothered his eyes and nose, and he didn’t feel good at all today, but “no excuses”.
Wonder if the allergies explain why he’s a notoriously slow starter (although if this is slow…)

If so he should seriously look into shots. Im allergic to everything and have been on shots for over 2 years. I dont get so bad anymore
Comment posted by lucienlc on May 10, 2008 at 4:59 pm (#688059)
Stupid reporter: “You’re not allergic to Shea Stadium, are you?”
Santana: “No, man. What kind of question is that?”

Oh, yes they did. Of course, Santana did go on to answer more fully by saying that he’d played in Shea before, etc. But yes, the above is a verbatim quote.
