Bruiser Chong Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 Well, not just that, but the bastard comes out to the same Metallica song as another pitcher in New York does!
naiwf Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Jose Reyes gets the 1st run on the board with a dribbler to short. I still don't know why the Mets can't hit rookies and/or lefties.
NYU Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 FOX might be just as bad as ESPN as far as jinxing the pitchers. Only minutes after putting up a graphic for "The last postseason shutout the New York Mets had was against the Cardinals in 2000", Heilman gives up a homerun.
Bruiser Chong Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Gotta leave these teams that go on amazing runs to make the playoffs, only to roll over and die upon arrival. The Dodgers and Padres don't even look like they belong in the NLDS.
NYU Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 And they're saying on ESPN that Nomar's injured.
naiwf Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 The NL West champion should just give up their postseason spot next year to the best AL team that doesn't make it.
Slayer Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 The Dodgers and Padres don't even look like they belong in the NLDS. So much for that whole NL West revival
devo Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 This is the best I could have expected from the Mets tonight. The pitching, highlighted by one of Glavine's finest starts all year, was superb. The batting, particularly against Kuo, was a little sketchy, and doesn't bode well should the Mets face any more tough lefties in future matchups. Really, they only should have scored two runs on the entire night. But, the extra two they scored was thanks to the Dodgers' defense, which was lacking while the Mets' was basically flawless. Very well done so far. Now I just gotta hope Trachsel can be an anchor in the rotation, which would definitively answer any questions about the quality of the Mets' pitching.
The Man in Blak Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 The Dodgers are an odd team. They were 4th in the NL in runs scored and they led the league in OBP, but they were in the middle of the pack in slugging. That, and the anecdotal evidence ("they just kept putting together clutch hit after clutch hit") seems to indicate that they built their offense on lengthy rallies, which is fine in the regular season, but might be a bit harder to sustain in the playoffs when the quality of pitching improves.
Bruiser Chong Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I meant "love" instead of "leave" in my last post, in case anyone couldn't figure that out. Anyway, I must say that with three series already on the verge of ending, this has been an unentertaining opening round. I've seen chunks of just about every game and I'd say the only really good ones have been Game 1 of A's/Twins, Game 1 of Mets/Dodgers and today's Tigers/Yanks game.
Guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 This all happened because I couldn't watch both games. I have to come up with some excuse....
LooseCannon25 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Well, not just that, but the bastard comes out to the same Metallica song as another pitcher in New York does! Billy Wagner was using that song first, genius.
devo Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 I guess it's riskier than one might think to use sarcasm on this board.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Billy Wagner should switch to that bluegrass version of Enter Sandman. It would seem appropriate for him.
bob_barron Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Maddux should come into games in the second inning. He's awful in the first
devo Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Looks like the Mets are going for that ol' Trachsel-bolstering run support. Let's go, Metropolitans!
Bruiser Chong Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Well, not just that, but the bastard comes out to the same Metallica song as another pitcher in New York does! Billy Wagner was using that song first, genius. Just for you.
devo Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Damn, Floyd's probably out for the rest of the playoffs. He was swinging a real hot bat, too.
Bruiser Chong Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 What a stupid move by the Dodgers. Take down Maddux for a pinch-hitter in the fourth with runners at second and third. I understand the need to get those runs in, but with one out, at worst, you're probably leaving it up to Furcal. As it is, Maddux is out and Ethier lined into a DP. Maddux probably would've just made ONE out.
vivalaultra Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 I love Jeff Kent and his porno 'stache. Let's go Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guest Felonies! Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Okay, if I don't see Fudgums sitting in the crowd during an LCS, I declare this October a failure.
devo Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Wow, Lasorda stood up. He's gotta get hazard pay for that.
vivalaultra Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Three bloopers and the wheels have fallen off of the Dodger bandwagon... Go Tigers!!!
Bruiser Chong Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Dodgers are done. Furcal's building a nice reputation of being worthless in the postseason, no?
