Open Thread: Mets vs Nationals, 5/12/2008
Nelson Figueroa vs Odalis Perez (Baseball-Reference.com Preview) Eric Simon has far too much time on his hands. He sleeps upside-down, keeps people as pets, and can be found on the internets at Amazin' Avenue or bothered directly at eric@metsgeek.com. 500 Responses to “Open Thread: Mets vs Nationals, 5/12/2008”Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment. |

Who do I have to pay off to acquire the ability to electroshock Willie every time he wants to put Jorge Sosa into a winnable game and he’s allowed to face a lefty?
That God dude?
I think more Sosa but yeah Figgy didnt help too much. By the time Sosa came in we kinda just went into a prevent defense, lol
That God Dude, lol.
Thats who I blame for the 2006 NLCS, LOL
LMAO at the Sosa and prevent defense parallel
god hates the mets
I feel like hanging with Chris Berman and popping
some coedine pills, lol
LOL!
That might have been DL’s saddest post of all-time.
The Beltran pitch was 2 feet outside. Great call.
maybe Zod can beat up Sosa on Geek Day
If Omar is going to keep Sosa on the roster that’s exactly the place where Willie is going to use him - down 3 or more early enough in the game that you hope to get two innings out of him.
Our pen had pitched 9 innings in two days coming into tonight - and had to cover 4 more thanks to Figgy’s rough outing.
Thinking of picking up Moises. Dude is on fire. I think if he can stay healthy he has a shot at batting close to .350. Unbelievable
The Beltran pitch was a strike in “six-run game and thirty-six windchill” land
LOL Simons
Sosa needs to get in line
Yea but that is why I have to scratch my head at amazement when Willie puts Wagner in. Well, I mean I shouldnt be shocked but Willie WTF?
Sosa can’t pitch multiple effective innings at a time though. He’s not capable this year. When Sosa gets in a rut like this, it takes him a year to get out of it.
Cut bait now.
Zany game. Take out the two solo homers and the team scores two runs on 10 hits / 4 walks. Boooo.
Mets gave Figgy three leads tonight and he couldn’t hold any of them for a single inning, that probably takes some toll on an offense.
It’s over!!! Only 21 hours till we get another crack at ‘em.
Maine’s going 9 tomorrow, 2008.
Well, Maine will be on the hill tomorrow. We should fare better
I definately know we will win wed. I had tix for Wednesdays game that I had to sell.
Watch that be the no hitter game, lol
cleve 76 boston 73 ,,,,
I think I scared Ramon away earlier when I turned one of his posts into a Paula Abdul “Opposites Attract” reference.
Either that, or it prompted him to go dig up his cassette tape of it.
ha ha ha was that the paula abdul video wuith the cat ????
Ha, yea, I saw that. Probably writing a 500 page manifesto on why we should obtain Hong-chih Kuo, lol
LOL Booey
YES!
LOL at manifesto!
haha, Danny. I’ve skimmed the thread and noticed that comment. Now I have been humming that stupid song. You are no longer my favorite! ;-)
And you’re right. Maine’s going 9 tomorrow. Certainly more than 6, anyway.
Aww, drats Athena!
It was a good run.
My daughter loves American Idol and Paula Abdul. I showed her that song and all she said was “ewww” LMAO!!!
Imagine being the guy that sang that part.
“So, what are we gonna do with the video. I love that song!”
“Uh, yeaaaaaaaaah. We’re gonna replace with you a cartoon cat. But you did a great job.”
greetings from a manhattan bound 7 train. jorge sosa sucks.
Man, I have to say I really like Harold Reynolds. He just makes total sense. Ive missed the guy. Not sure of the concensus on here about it, but I think hes doing a great job
LOL, during the results show for 80’s night on the first season, the remaining contestants did a Paula Abdul medley and even dragged her up on stage (mercifully, she refused to sing).
hmmmm 2008 i wonder wht paula is on ????
we need to get willie some of those pills !! :)
Mustve been one Fugly looking dude, lol
Doc, I have my gas can ready if the Mets demote Sosa.
I MEAN SHOW!
OHMIGOD ERASE THAT POAST,,,,
I MEAN SOSA
I’M SO SHOOK BECAUSE ATHENA HATES ME AGAIN
I know right. She claims she never used drugs and doesnt have a drinking problem. If you can get that High sitting next to those two jerks, grab me a chair, lol
Must. Watch. Now:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=2k6NBp2Wpgw
I really hope they come to there senses and let Sosa go. I mean Smith deserves to stay. I dont want any part of Sosa down the stretch again.
if shes never used drugs the celtis will win this game ,,,,,
how bullshit will willomar have to feed us they demote smith and keep the arsonist named jorge
Now, now, Danny. I’m sure with diligence and hard work you can get back into my good graces.
Heh! This helps.
LOL Jessica
I miss the Paula Abdul era
**I liked all of those songs as a youngster**
ha ha ha thanks jess !!!!
opositea attract right now for paula means oxycodin and vicodins !! :P()
Ha, we just found out why they used the cat. The singer is an Ugly White kid with an afro. lol (I still cant believe woman were in love with that kid)
Feel bad for Figs. Its a great story, he seems like he would just love to stick with the team. Hopefully, he can catch on with a bullpen job.
Not for nothing, but that cat was cool as shit.
I loved Straight Up. What a fun video.
Danny, I still have my MC Hammer pants up at my moms house.I should sport them at Metsgeek, LMAO!!!
Its a Purple and Black one piece jumpsuit. I loved that thing back in the day, lol
2008, don’t think little Danny didn’t use to rock the Hammer dance for Can’t Touch This to impress the ladies back in 5th grade.
hmmmmmmmmmm oh speaking of mc hammer he has a reality show coming out soon ,,
Wow, Hammertime!! Deoin has one too I saw. I would watch a little of Hammers. Deoins is so boring. Probably alot as to do with I never could stand him.
Metwsin, if you wear purple and black Hammer Pants to Geek Day, you can drink for free.
I probably couldnt even fit half my leg in them now. Gotta remember I was about 50 pounds lighter then, lol
Seconded.
Oh well. It would have been awesome.
Good night, my geeks.
Night Athena
Haha, Sorry Guys. I’ll check them out over the weekend. As long as they dont fit like a 1980’s baseball uni I’ll give it a whirl, lol.
Im out too. Gotta wake up early again. Cant wait til training is over. Waking up at 4:30 am every morning is a drag. Laters!!!
Ouch 2008, that sucks dude! Night man
ok ok whoss left danny yu there ???
What? When was this? LOL! It was the game that scared me away Danny, not you. I like you.
I guess noone is left. Damn, I just came on when everybody bolted.
Ha, I’m here Booey.
HAHA, yeah Ramon. I made a reference to Paula Abdul from one your posts. They way you ended it reminded me of Opposites Attract.
Oh, the two steps foward, two steps back line I suppose? I loved that video. I had supermad crush on Paula Abdul back in those days before she got old and batshit crazy.
Abdul was hot back in the day. I will strike down upon anyone with a great fury who doth protest that fact.
Me too. She was fine. A true product of that musical void that was the late 80s and early 90s.
Dude, Bobby Brown is pissed that you just said that.
If I were Bobby Brown I’d be pissed off too–because I am Bobby Brown! LOL!
LOL! Touche.
So, danny. What do you think about the team? Pretty frustrating isn’t it?
abdul is still sexy in a milf way. that one dude from idol certainly agrees.
ps. did we cut sosa yet
Adbul is kind of batty though. I’d still do her, but some of the stuff she says is too crazy for words.
We didn’t cut Sosa yet from what I know.
she isn’t a mensa candidate but that’s ok
She is a perfect candidate for AA though if you ask me.
It’s really frustrating that we can’t sustain good play for longer than a couple of games at a time.
Yup. Especially against this caliber of competition. I can’t wait for Pedro to get healthy so we can do something with the rotation and pen by moving Figueroa to longman duties and cutting Sosa for starters.
I hope we don’t cut Figueroa. He’s absolutely perfect for the utility/long man role in the pen. Absolute rubber arm. Will take the ball everyday. Awesome the first time through the order.
Who else goes to make room for figgy. show?
The problem is that Show is actually growing on me. So, what do we do because I want Wise and Smith in the pen with Figgy too? It might not be a bad thing to DL Sanchez until he regains his velocity with some more throwing…
Ha, I haven’t figured that part out, yet.
The first move is to cut Sosa immediately. Keep Figs in the 5th spot until Pedro comes back.
Reassess then.
Good point. I’d be happy substituting Figueroa for Sosa. If they make a decision based on pitching performance to date they absolutely can’t cut Smith, at least not yet. But who ever said these decisions were made based on what makes sense!
Sosa has to go first, but then someone in the pen will have to pitch his innings before Figueroa can be moved there to replace him once Pedro comes back.
Yeah, we DO need a rubber arm that can go multiple innings in the pen. I just think that we can get away with not having one for a couple of weeks. Smith might be the odd man out when Pedro comes back if everyone is performing up to their potential and is healthy.
That’s just the way it goes.
Please make Sosa gone. Please!
http://mets.lohudblogs.com/2008/05/12/nelson-doesnt-like-the-nationals/
Maybe I’d care more about what Figgy thought if he were able to, you know, pitch well against that unprofessional last-place team.
Sarah, I don’t even want to think about the fan revolt if Smith gets demoted and Sosa blows up again at Shea.
It will truly be ugly.
If everyone is healthy and performing up to their potential we can’t get annoyed over sending Smith down.
The problem will be if he continues to pitch well and gets sent down while other guys continue to be mediocre or bad.
The eventual decision should just be made based on whatever gives us the best bullpen. Obviously.
What a bearleague thing to do. Its so funny because I remember when opposing teams gave the Mets shit for being too animated in their dugout when they were wining games last year.
Wow, Figs didn’t mince words there.
If that were to happen Sosa probably wouldn’t even be given an inch of breathing room. He’ll probably get booed with the first ball he throws out of the strike zone.
I think Figgy let the Nationals clubhouse antics get to him last night and it just may have affected his performance. That’s not a very professional reaction to have, he shouldn’t have let it affect him so.
His words aren’t going to carry very much weight after a performance like the one he gave tonight.
At least he’s not meant to be one of our top two pitchers, like, say Andy Pettite who went a whopping 4 innings tonight.
Alright everyone. I’m not a 4:30 AM guy like that crazy 2008 but I do have to get up at 6. Take care and the Mets will make us all a lot happier tomorrow.
Night!
The Nats can do what ever they want in their dugout, they can break a New Orleans style band and play the Battle Hymn of the Republic if they want. Figgy needed to not walk guys and not hit three batters. Sour grapes.
