mike546 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 Anyone else remember how Yanks & Co. was convinced getting Johnson = World Series? I think most of the Yanks + RJ = WS came at the 04 deadline when they didn't get him. I honestly believe they would have won the WS EASILY that year had they gotten him.

devo 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 Tough loss, though not entirely unexpected. The Phillies have been ridiculously hot lately and Myers pitched another gem of a ballgame. The Mets' defense really cost them in the last two innings. Victorino should not have scored, that ball hit by Ruiz should have been caught, and Abreu definitely should have been thrown out at first just now. No offense I can live with, but defense that loses games is really frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYU 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 Three thoughts: 1) I love how the strike zone was markedly different for the Mets than it was for the Phillies. Plain as day, to the point that Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, and Gary Cohen couldn't help but call him out on it several times. High balls count as strikes against Kaz Matsui. Pitches over the plate don't count for Heilman. It could be a case of sour grapes, but it certainly seemed obvious to me there was something wrong with the home umpire. 2) The Bobby Abreu celebration is unwarranted. I know Al is going to call me out over this, but come on. He won the game on an error. Let's save the party for a time that calls for it. 3) You can tell which players on the Mets don't know the fundamentals of baseball. Aaron Heilman trying to field a ball that clearly belongs to Lo Duca? Lo Duca turning to tag out the runner at home very prematurely, letting a ball nicely thrown to him fall out of his grasp? These mental mistakes really cost them tonight. It's amazing. Delgado is truly carrying the team at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, Pedro was getting some borderline calls in his favor. But, yeah, some of those pitches from Heilman would've been called strikes if Pedro was throwing them. I was a bit disappointed Abreu didn't take 1 for the team on that inside pitch. All he had to do was turn an ass cheek into that pitch, and game over.

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 Well, the 'Stros lost their 5th in a row. Even DAVE~! Borkowski gave up a bomb. Pettitte hasn't gotten into a groove yet. At least it looks like our hitting's coming back a little bit. Hopefully Buchholz can pitch well tomorrow and Lidge won't blow it. I'm not feeling like a Cubs fan yet. Mostly cuz we scored more runs tonite than the Cubs have in their last six... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
