The Mets got jobbed by the 3rd base ump and promptly gave up the lead when Lima gave up a 3 run double to Jenkins. Fuck Jose getting a chance to have the 'W' at the expense of giving up the lead. That's just retarded.

Lima is imploding. Somebody pull this dude before we're down by 2 instead of up 2.

With all due respect, you're a female. Barring bad body odor, or the reputation for having STDs (and those aren't necessarily dealbreakers either), you can get sex any night of the week from multiple guys. Any regular, unattached guy can give up a few hours of sleep for sex. To put it in simplest terms, you give up something you can have regularly for the things you can't. That's just common sense. The dude in question has been gettin' all the sleep he wants, but obviously not enough sex, and he willingly didn't make the trade. While it may be the honorable thing to do, that's just not being responsible in regards to his still unfulfilled NEEDS.

Prince Fielder just MURDERED a ball to break up Lima's shut out, and I just realized he was also born on May 9th. The only other ballplayer I knew who shared my birthday before him was Tony Gwynn.

Phillies Pen 1 Hamels 0 Endy Chavez has been more productive, but they keep sitting Nady to get him AB's. It's Bizarro World where a .184-3-14, 1000 LOB hitter is the guy who doesn't ride the pine in favor of a guy hitting .287-8-18 who has routinely made the offense go.

Cliff Floyd is the drizzling shits. Why doesn't Willie sit this fucking automatic out already? Aside from that game tying HR in the game he left 10 men on base last week he has done NOTHING productive all year.

The much ballyhooed Cole Hamels is pitching a shutout through 5. He's given up 1 hit, and has 7 K's, but he's also walked 5. Phillies lead 2-0 thanks to a 2 run HR by Howard. It looks like Mets/Phillies for the division with Atlanta a distant 3rd early on.

Just let it go. Abreu's poor second half was due to nagging injuries that he never once sat out for in the heat of the pennant race. I wouldn't make a trade if I were the Yankees either though, because it doesn't really improve their team. Besides, what the hell do they do when it's July and they have an outfield of Abreu/Damon/Sheffield/Matsui/Williams? Talk about overkill. Bring up Kevin Thompson and platoon him with Bubba Crosby. Even replacement level production in left should only cost the Yankees two wins or so until Matsui gets back. Of course, Tony Womack is available. But that's not the Yankees way damnit! We need All-Stars at every position, and on the bench!

Delgado's 13th gives the Mets a 2-0 lead midway through the 1st. Let's see if Lima can hold that lead for at least an inning or two.

I think you're forgetting the one major benefit Cirie had. . . she posed absolutely, positively NO threat to anyone physically. In the final 4 she is dangerous because she's the one person who has no problem backstabbing others because she's done nothing all game but ride with the majority. The one thing she deserves credit for is picking up on the tension between Aras, Danielle, Courtney & Shane early on and quickly aligning with the one person who had a level head AND could carry her through to the end. Cirie deserves about as much credit for her play this season as Amber did when Boston Rob handed her the million and the title. Don't get me wrong, Danielle wouldn't deserve the money either, but at least she had to endure some time on Exile Island. The reason Cirie never got sent there is because she always had Aras and her complete and utter lack of physical prowess to save her. I just don't like seeing people who don't outdo (m)any of the others win the prize at the end, hence my hatred of the seasons Sandra won when Rupert did all the work, and when Colby basically pleaded for the jury to hand Tina the money as well. Smooth talking or not, none of the women this season did a damned thing of note except fall out of their bikini tops.

Cirie is not a power player. She happened to latch onto the right guy, in a group that had the overwhelming majority of players remaining in the game. Had she ended up getting drafted to the La Mina tribe she would have finished 10th or 11th. It's easy to look like you outwitted people when there were about 5 or 6 eliminations that took no thought whatsoever.

Well, I'm sure he wasn't running after the ball thinking "I'm gonna break my nose here, but what the hell?" Obviously, but I also think he realized at some point that he was going to hit the wall, and hit it with great force. Considering he'd made the complaint about the wall not being padded enough, that's reason enough for most major leaguers to just let that one drop. It was only the first inning, and it is still only mid-May. I applaud his reckless abandon/team first mentality, but most of the guys who do that end up on the DL for substantial periods of time.

You would think a nearly 40 year old man would be able to give up the weed during a playoff run. I'm assuming he's not on a "hard" drug, but either way that's a stupid choice at this point of the year.

Aaron Rowand is now on the DL thanks to a broken nose and fractured eye socket. I don't think a catch that wins one game is worth missing at least 15 days, but fortunately I'm not Aaron Rowand.

I always take Yankee rumors with a grain of salt, but if Sheffield and Matsui are both out for months, I wouldn't be shocked to see them net Abreu for next to nothing just because they're the Yankees. The only other options that even make any kind of sense are guys that can't hit (Hunter, Stewart), aren't big enough names for Da Bronx (one of the surplus Reds not named Junior), or are getting old and could end up spending time on the DL (Junior).

Buster Olney, resident Yankee dick sucker, mentioned the same thing in his blog today. Do the Yankees have even have the pieces to make a deal for Abreu? I doubt the Phillies would unload one of the best corner outfielders in the majors this early in the year without getting something really good in return. I think it's just the Yankee fan mentality of thinking they can get whoever they want, whenever they want. Apparently the Phillies are down on Abreu and were said to be willing to ship him off for two marginal prospects, no mention of Wang, Cano or that Hughes kid. It's a fucking joke that the Yankees can just absorb everyone else's bad contracts and ship 'em a bag of balls and some bats in return.

Based on rumblings from Mike and the Mad Dog, the Yankees might just be looking to acquire Bobby Abreu to replace one of their corner outfielders since Sheffield may be injured more seriously than first thought.

I'm not sure if this was cleared up or not, but is the replacement getting Noah's spot in the SF? If so, that's pretty weak. If I'd been in charge, I would have brought back two losers and let them fight for the vacated spot just to make it fair.

That was a fucking headscratcher for me as well. The idea that a "CLOSER" can't get the biggest out in a game he can't get a save in is pissing me off.

Wow, what a pussy whipped moron.

It's no fun when you just KNOW he's going to strike out ahead of time, gets a chance to have 4 strikes and still fails to produce. Poor guy.

Timlin got squeezed right there on a pitch that carved the plate. These home plate umps are terrible all around the bigs. The "third strike to Kaz" in Mets/Phillies I was over his shoulders and then he had a postage stamp size zone for Heilman after Franco cursed him out. How hard is it to consistently call a strike a strike?

Jeter likes to show off. As a Mets fan/Yankee hater I don't watch every inning of every Yankees game, but the guy dives for an awful lot of balls Reyes would glove cleanly, and because he dives he's then forced to makes that stupid throw from his knees, then there's his little aerial ballerina jump throw because he doesn't have the range to get around on a grounder. If the Juice-ambino was playing first there that ball would have been in the stands, so Cairo did him a favor by making the play closer than it should have been. All he had to do was eat it and keep the game tied. Jeter goes for the heroic play far too often. He just gets bailed out of errors at home as evidenced tonight. There's no way the run scores if he holds the ball, so it should have been a single and an E6, but Jeter gets "lucky" in the stat sheet once again.
