1 - lets go mets! 2 - i correctly picked davidson in that thread about the tourney a few weeks ago
Was Wright batting third yesterday too?
yes.
Not a big deal but thinking Church should stay 7th cause that’s where he is when Alou gets back
I understand it’s a righty so its ok to go back to back with Delgado buuuut when a lefty comes in later Pagan would of been better there…………..oh wells I won’t complain if he smacks a early rbi double
I liked Pagan in the 6th spot. I would think he’ll get junk thrown at him with Schneider on deck.
Although Church is a power guy, Pagan I feel hits all fields.
Church is not a power guy?
He’s a gap guy, and says at Shea he’s going to be a power guy with morre hr’s.
Didn’t Pedro strike out 12 on Opening day in 05 in Cincy?
yes
Anybody having problems with MLB.tv AGAAAINNNN?!?!
i almost forgot baseball was on tonight! i’m not used to this yet.
mets usually smack this guy around pretty good. See what offense has going on tonight.
Yea yea…Im always negative. Im the 5 mins I’ve been listening to the new guy (Wayne) on the FAN I’m not impressed….
Just misprounced Amazaga’s name…..
Ahh….Heres Howie…..better…
2 run hR- uggla
there goes the no-hitter
I’m not sure I’m going to be handle watching the game from behind the plate the entire game. WTF is SunSports doing????
Oh and “And his name is STILL DAN UGGLA!!” is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard an announcer say following a HR.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Must be some wierd inside joke.
Everything about them is minor league.
Pedro just needs to settle down, here. Control issues. Reminds me of his start against the Reds last year.
I feel like this always happens, he gets knocked around a little bit early and settles right in. First start of the year too, not too much of a reason to get concerned just yet.
Let’s just hope it stops there…
The broadcasters and the quality of the camerawork are SOOOO bad on FSN Florida that I had to take the opportunity on their “email the booth” night to email them if there are sports media critic columnists at local Miami papers like in NY and that, if not, their broadcasts are prime examples of why there ought to be.
I really HATE these Marlin announcers!! If Im goona pay $229 for MLB Extra Innings I should be able to watch my teams feed?
WOW!!!! They got Delgado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dan Uggla is built like the juicebag players of the late 90’s. I think we need a random drug test in the Marlins clubhouse.
ehh leave em alone….They need as much help as they can get….
who is this new guy with howie rose? hes horrible. i want the traitor tom mccarthy back!
this AB is a victory for MArtinez. Check pitch count on VandenHurk.
Pedro better not tire himself out on this at bat…this is hilarious.
A-Greed…
HAHAHA pedro is great
Yea Pedro….WHAT AN AB BABY!!!!
THAT is a competitor, K or no.
pedro is pissed off
