The boobirds want to be noticed. They also want to feel important, to inject themselves in the story. So, perhaps ignoring them would be the best policy going forward.

No problem with some individuality/ personality, and aesthetically, I think the orange and blue lettering looks good. What’s wrong with names?

Was it a response to the boos? What did he ever do for the Mets? Re: the booing, it has to do with the comments in the media, or the knowledge that he made comments in the media, because a lot of people probably don't know exactly what he said.

(which is the opposite of usual radar gun readings on tv). In particular he struck out Nick Johnson with a high, outside fastball that read 91, but it looked like a lot harder than that. Could have been the location, I just thought it looked a lot harder. Also, Pelfrey seemed to be throwing a lot harder than the gun was registering.

I won't repeat it, but it was clearly audible on my tv. Could anyone else watching the game on SNY hear the guy screaming obscenities at Lastings everytime he came up?

While it would be tremendous to see him win 12 to 15 this year, the idea of him becoming trade bait is a bit off. A young pitcher who throws in the mid 90's with a sinking fastball is not something you get rid of. Personally i felt that the best part of the Santana deal was that we were able to keep the two best prospects we had in our system in Pelf and Martinez. This kid always had the stuff to be a really good major league pitcher. Lets hope he keeps this going and realize what a special treat he could become. I agree with your comment other than one thing.

"right there yes... do that again!" and this kept pelf from going into the "damm i just missed a strike" mentality to, "ill throw my pitch there all day and dare them to hit it" and he got a bunch of swing and misses and swings, foul tips, and bad ground balls from those same pitches and same location. the same can be said when schienider constantly made him go inside with his sinker There were times that Pelf missed his location, mostly on fastballs, but his fastball had so much life and he had the hitters so much off balance, he was able to either sneak it by or there were not able to handle it and fouled it off.. i saw this too.. when pelfry located his fastball and slider where schnieder wanted it.. at times being just off the plate and missing a strike.. you can see schnieder motion to pelf.. “right there yes… do that again!” and this kept pelf from going into the “damm i just missed a strike” mentality to, “ill throw my pitch there all day and dare them to hit it” and he got a bunch of swing and misses and swings, foul tips, and bad ground balls from those same pitches and same location.
