I knew the Mets would lose 2 of 3 to Atlanta early in the season, but I didn't think it would happen this soon. We need to win the next series from the Padres.

Guest NYankees Report post Posted April 19, 2006 With the way both Josh Beckett and Hanley Ramirez have been performing you have to think both the Red Sox and Marlins are happy with that deal. I think it is far too early to judge a deal 3 weeks into the season. Mets are going to have to get that Braves monkey off their back if they want anybody to take them serious. Andruw Jones is a Mets killer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2006 I honestly had never heard his name until just now. Veras was a decent prospect in the Devil Rays' organization but apparently stalled in 2004. The Devil Rays made him a reliever, but let him go after the season. The Rangers used Veras as a reliever full time in Oklahoma, where he struck out 72 batters in 61 2/3 IP. Veras has control issues but a real live arm. This is an encouraging acquisition for the Yankees, as this is exactly the type of way a smart organization builds a bullpen. Get a few of these guys, pay them the minimum, and if one or two pay off you're set. Once in a while, one of these guys turns into a Bobby Jenks. That was an evaluation I made on November 19th last year. I saw Veras pitch last night and strike out two of the four batters he faced. He's got some very good stuff, and he could surprise people if the Yankees need bullpen help midseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But don't let being a wiseass get in the way of common sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2006 My comment actually worked two ways. It could be interpreted as either: 1. Padres sucked badly thus far, I would know, I watch them more than I watch my favorite team. So if you can't beat them, then you really shouldn't hope for anything this year. OR 2. It's still very very early. So you go on a hot start, and lose 4 games straight, it's all over for you? Please. Last year the White Sox had a white-hot start, then tumbled all the way to only holding, what, 2 games lead over the Indians. They managed to still win the final series and went on to go 11-1 in the playoffs, including the World Series. But don't let the "OH WOES IS ME METS FAN" get in the way of common sense.

Guest Smues Report post Posted April 19, 2006 SportsCenter started by recapping the Braves game. They show the last out of the 5th and say that Hudson still has the no-no in tact, next thing we see it's 2 on in the 6th. Smooth ESPN, smooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2006 With any luck, the Os bullpen will give up 1 more run (its now 13-9) so Chris Ray can come in and nail down the save. The Os have THE WORST bullpen (outside of Chris Ray) in baseball..easily. Well..they didn't. Ray should still come in though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ensberg, also on my fantasy team, has hit 6 homeruns in the last five games. I don't know if the 'Stros are gonna pull this one out, though. However, we have made some furious comebacks. Even if they don't, I wasn't expecting them to go 157-5. I'll be happy with 156-6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
