Guest FrigidSoul Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Bill Mueller activated from the DL, Caesar Crespo designated for assignment. Scott Williamson placed on the DL, Anastacio Martinez recalled from Pawtucket.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Along with Brenly's departure, bench coach Robin Yount resigned.
KingPK Posted July 3, 2004 Author Report Posted July 3, 2004 Are the Sox going to leave the bases loaded in EVERY game now?
Bruiser Chong Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Figures the day after I drop Kaz, he hits two homers and drives in five. Oh well, Jack Wilson is definitely an upgrade.
strummer Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Richard Hidalgo since joining the Mets: Â .327 BA 1.025 OPS 5 HR 10 RBI Â They got this guy for David Weathers? So far, although only a small sample of games, it has been a steal for the Mets. Â I don't think Mike Mussina is sad he won't see him again this year., 3 homers in 7 ABs vs The Moose
the max Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Red Sox lose in 12, 6-3 on a walk off homer by...someone.
strummer Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Three straight heartbreaking losses for the Sox. I can't remember the last time a team blew extra inning leads in 2 consecutive games and went on to lose.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Os/Phillies tied at 6 top of the 12th  I think both teams are down to 1 pitcher in the bullpen, but the bullpens for both teams have been strong (each has only allowed 1 run).  Newhan just got his 3rd hit so the Os have something going on in the 12th..
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 To the top of the 13th (Os had the bases loaded last inning and couldn't score, Phillies had a runner on 3rd and couldn't get him home) Neither team has anyone else left on the bench and only starters are left for pitchers. Â UPDATE: Â Eddy Rodriguez strikes out Thome and Burrell (5 Ks) to get out of a jam and send the game to the the 14th. The amazing thing is the crowd has stayed because of a fireworks show after the game. Â Update #2 Â Tejada gunned down at the plate to end the top of the 14th. I was reminded that the Phillies and Orioles went 17 innings last year at Camden Yards. Tejada with an awesome throw to get the runner out at first with the bases loaded to end the 14th.
Guest Anglesault Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 They get a break tonight. Â Besides, it's not like Yanks/Mets means anything anymore anyway. I missed the game. It's no worse than a loss to Baltimore.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 (edited) Longest Orioles game (time wise) ever! 5:50 and counting as we head to the 16th inning.. Â NEWHAN SCORES! Â OS WIN! OS WIN! Edited July 3, 2004 by MarvinisaLunatic
Guest Anglesault Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Longest Orioles game (time wise) ever! 5:50 and counting Oh, crap. Â That means the Yanks and O's will have to turn in a six hour affair to make up for such a travesty (A game length record for the Orioles that doesn't involve the Yankees.) Â I believe there was a period where the two teams held the longest 9 inning game under some type of circumstances, along with some American league length record.
The Czech Republic Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 I wonder if Sammy and Nomar would get along. Â Patterson, Gonzalez, Farnsworth, and prospects?
Precious Roy Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 I wonder if Sammy and Nomar would get along. Patterson, Gonzalez, Farnsworth, and prospects? I don't know Epstein personally, but last I checked he was trying to WIN a world series
Bruiser Chong Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 I'm not a huge fan of Farns or Patterson, but you drop them for Nomar and then you've got a big gap in center and the end of the pen. Patterson's been better as of late and unless they're going to go out and grab a centerfielder, trading away Corey would be senseless. Same goes for Farns, who believe it or not, has been one of the more reliable guys in there at times, scary as that may be.

Guest Choken One Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 who would you start at the mound for each? Â I'm convinced Clemens is Starting simply for the Novelty of being Clemens (thats sells alone) along with his age and being the hometowner...and the sell of a Clemens-Piazza battery. Â Not sure about the AL. Â I'd say Schilling just for the sake of saying Schilling.

Same goes for Farns, who believe it or not, has been one of the more reliable guys in there at times, scary as that may be. Hollandsworth was great filling in for Sammy in the outfield. I just think the Cubs should try to get Nomar, because shortstop is our biggest gap.
fairtoflair7 Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 BIG win for the Mets in a Great game today...Fabulous back and forth game today....huge intensity by both teams...1/1/2 backk
Guest Anglesault Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Javier Vazquez, New York Roy Halladay, Toronto Mariano Rivera, New York Joe Nathan, Minnesota Eddie Guardado, Seattle Gordon over Vazquez, if you have to pick one.
Guest Anglesault Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 BIG win for the Mets in a Great game today...Fabulous back and forth game today....huge intensity by both teams...1/1/2 backk I listened to the game at the beach today. Were the jackass' last two strikes to Posada as bad as they sounded?
ISportsFan Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 BIG win for the Mets in a Great game today...Fabulous back and forth game today....huge intensity by both teams...1/1/2 backk I listened to the game at the beach today. Were the jackass' last two strikes to Posada as bad as they sounded? They were bad. Really bad. We got the game because of the Sox/Cubs rain delay, and my goodness MLB has some serious problems with their umpires this year. Â Speaking of the Chicago game, it was just officially called about 5 minutes ago, so the Cubs won it in 6 innings. Â Jason

Were the jackass' last two strikes to Posada as bad as they sounded? They were bad. Really bad. We got the game because of the Sox/Cubs rain delay, and my goodness MLB has some serious problems with their umpires this year. In a way, I was almost hoping they weren't. Now I'm going to have to go ballistic.
treble Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 I think the 2nd strike was a good call, but I thought the 3rd one was a little low. Â Maybe if Torre hadn't put Sturtze in there in the 9th they would have won, anyway.
Guest Anglesault Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Maybe if Torre hadn't put Sturtze in there in the 9th they would have won, anyway. He had the wonderful choice of picking between Sturtze and Prinz. And I don't even know how available Prinz was.
Bruiser Chong Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 In a situation like that, you use your best reliever. Period. But no, because of the save stat, most managers are convinced you wait to use your closer for the very end. I can see why most feel that way, but why not put out your best pitcher while the game's still happening instead of waiting for a situation that may not even come?
Guest Anglesault Posted July 3, 2004 Report Posted July 3, 2004 Why not Rivera? They mentioned something about his arm bothering him or something and that he couldn't get loose.
