The 3 headed monster of Armvargeroa will be the 5th man in the rotation then it seems…
I feel awful for Pedro. Hopefully he and his family can have some closure now.
I’m sure with 2 days notice I can start for the Mets throwing high heaters and nasty drop balls :)
I know when my pops passed away it was much easier. We, all hated to see him suffer and hooked up to the oxygen and struggle for every breath. It was a blast to watch the 2000 playoffs with him. He, didnt want the yankees in there and he died the same night of game 1 in the w.s.
But, anyway, we all seemed to have a little more normalcy in the house. It hurt like hell, but watching him suffer was more painful. Maybe now Pedro can get it all back
LOL, so the one time a starter didn’t have a good start, the bullpen bailed him out? that’s hysterical
Yes, brain cancer, I believe.
I’m sure this has been preying on Pedro’s mind all season. He’s been going back and forth to the Dominican whenever he could incl the AS break. I’m sure he knew the end was near. It’s a terrible thing to go through, watching your parents dying by inches. I’ve been there twice, and it’s incredibly difficult to carry on your “normal” life while it’s happening, since your life is everything but normal.
Hopefully, Pedro and his family can find some peace and consolation in the thought that his father is no longer suffering and is in a better place. My condolences and prayers to him and his family.
Griff, can throw them the swinging heater, lol
No Place Like First Place!!!!!
Hah! Jose Reyes the Philly-killer! 12 career HRs vs Philly. :-)
Ready - Perez has only pitched 18.1 innings in his 3 starts vs the Phils this year, but his ERA is 0.00.
He’s a weird one. Pitches well against our toughest opponents and stinks it up against the rest of the league. But to be fair, he’s been great lately.
can’t believe Flores has that much power at the age of 16 years old he can stroke it.
Im down in Miami swinging now, head back to Atlanta friday.
Wow. You know its funny all we hear about is how Burrell is a Mets killer and all this crap. We never hear about how Maine owns the Phils or about Reyes.
Flores is pretty exciting. Amazing at that age.
Reyes hitting .416 vs Madsen w/2 HRs.
Eric Young needs to get off the helium.
Seriously. It’s time for an intervention.
Okay all, Great game. Great win. See you all early tomorrow. I must rest for the day game after a night game……lol!
Tata!
Reyes’ numbers aren’t quite in the same category. It’s just that he pwns them, relative to the number of HRs he hits against anyone else.
I would love to see what D.W. and Jose Reyes would look like playing one full year in Philly. I’ve always thought there should be some universial regulations in fence distance to make sure everyone is playing at the same level. Philly’s players numbers are a joke. D.W. would have 30 hrs in philly by now
Tatis, shea!
Eric Young needs to get off of sucking testicles
Night, Shea!
It is astonishing that the team is where it is, considering that Johan and Maine collectively won only 2 games last month.
Boo ya @ 21!
this is interesting - who is more unlucky, hamels or santana
That would take the collective media removing their lips from the posteriors of those gritty Phillies.
Without even looking, I’ll go with Hamels, mookie, because he looks like James Taylor and he lives in Philly.
im going to go peeps. going to go take a dump and read my new bat/superman comic while doing it :)
Enjoy Griff. Take the Browns to the Super Bowl!!!
lol bob - but it’s written by a phan and actually very unbiased. Johan wins! (or loses, i guess)
A little TMI there, g.
Well, this win definately erases the pain of yesterday. Win or lose tommorrow we are still in this race. Had we gotten swept it wouldve been a huge hit. I seriously think the Phillies, due to lack of pitching, will fall flat on their faces. Im a little more worried about the Marlins
i am so sore from my 3 mile run/walk
Yeah, it’s just another day, mw! You gotta take the bad ones with the good ones. That’s why I’m always amazed at all the jokers ready to off themselves after every loss.
Jodi and I have been doing about 2 miles every day as well Chris. Its a bitch in the begining, I tell ya, lol. We ussually take the dogs as well and run a little, then walk.
mook
SNY just confirmed your friend’s Wilpon story
Yea, me too Bob. Drives me crazy. Sh1t happens. yesterday was just that, yesterday. Baseball is real life drama. Everything can change at any moment. Hopefully, we get hot and bury these guys. I will be watching those fish closely as well too though
The psych doctor got me walking/running every other day now. I missed the last three days cause Sunday was my off day then we had bad lightning storms the other two nights
lol dep - of course, right after i turn it off! just seems odd to address it now, a month later.
I feel better walking every day. I really feel it in the morning. I dont feel as tired. I would like to get some weights maybe in the near future.
they spent 5 seconds on it. the whole thing was weird.
check this pic out….
I’m so jealous of all ya’all going to the Cyclone’s game on Saturday.
Notice my southern speak. I’m doin’ it as a running joke in my non-southern accent round here
I gave patrick my weights and I guess his sister took them. I really didnt have the heart to say they were mine. It was a rough time so I just let them take it
LOL Chris.
Brookyln has become not so exciting lately without Reese. I’m gonna boo Ike. ;)
Ha, I love that pic Dep
I booed Stegall when I had a chance. Too bad you’ll never see him up there to boo him ;)
hahahaha, he’s actually doing ok this season
3rd time’s a charm for rookie ball! woot!
Well, maybe he’ll get back to low A again
LOL! i love jose.
Wish you could come chris! Ike’s gonna walk 3 times!
Well, im off. Great win. Lets hope we take the series tommorrow
I hate me a scum devil and Ike is a scum devil like Paul Lo Duca and Barry Bonds before him
ugh, kinsler was robbed of a hit tonight, 2008 - he got webgemmed!
that pic was photo-shopped so dont go passing it along or anything lol
i found it cute
figured it was, dep - it was funny though
bwahahahaha, i will buy you many beers if he does
I was gonna go to a kingsport game this weekend but I have this one class I haven’t finished yet and won’t finish till sat night
well, im out. night everyone
CC Fatty is such a beast
good lord. my fantasy team is making a move! up to 7th lol
I’m ecstatic (and relieved) that we won tonight, but how is Manuel not getting pilloried for having Beltran bunt in the 8th? When I heard on the radio Beltran bunted, I was so shocked and outraged I nearly drove my car off the interstate.
You’re going to waste an out with one of your better power hitters at the plate and two slappies coming up behind him? Did you remember that the bullpen gave up six runs in the ninth just 24 hours ago, and thus you might want to try to extend the lead to more than four runs? And furthermore, you’re going to send the message to Beltran that you believe more in Cancel’s and Easley’s abilities to drive in runs than his in the same game where you moved him to the 5 spot? Really?
Again, I’m glad we won, but when this race is going to come down to the final games of the season, these kinds of -EV decisions cannot be justified.
Haha, should’ve said 2 - 3 was a bit of a stretch ;)
later chris, sleep well homey
LOL.
listen, if he walks even once, you’re getting credit and a beer probly ;)
Did Jerry say in the postgame he told Tron to bunt??
I honestly think Beltran did it on his own cuz he’s slumping n all that.
i hated it either way. it sucked
i missed it dep - i was so thrown off by the pedro situation so i didn’t catch what they said about the bunt
I’d bet on Beltran doing that on his own. Wouldn’t be the first time. Also, why do so many “old-school” broadcasters gripe about sluggers not knowing how to play smallball and then bitch when someone actually takes them up on it?
gary made it sound totally routine that he was bunting, and def made it sound like he was doing it on his own. He was like “and this is to be expected from beltran” as if it was castillo swinging the bat.
that’s a really good point jess. broadcasters do say that stuff all the time.
i couldnt believe when gary said this is to be expected of tron.
I’m off for the evening y’all. 1st place again :)
see you tomorrow
Beltran randomly bunts I think to mind-#### everyone observing it.
It makes more sense when you attempt to bunt for a hit…but Carlos…Marlon is hitting behind you now…with Snoopy hitting behind you…you swing for the fences.
My internet finally works again. Yay.
