But Hughes is the next Randy Johnson! And Pelfrey is a nobody! How is this happening?

Get used to it. I have to see the Mets via the Extra Innings package, and the road broadcast teams and production values are so second (or third) rate compared to SNY. Florida, DC, and the D’Backs are among the worst. But very few can hold a candle to the SNY team….though, amazingly, Vin Scully still does a great job with the Dodgers, despite his age.

I was thriled that tonights Extra Innings feed was the NY broadcast.

Yes….but that was…Lasting Milledge. Totally understandable.

Definitely classless, but Mets fans did the same thing when Milledge went down.

I agree. I tried to get on the team here, but never heard back from Matt. I’m a former sportswriter, 29-years-old and Hispanic. I do live in Chicago, though, but that shouldn’t matter.

Didn’t anyone notice that the Mets are once again in 1st place?

And, just to prove that BB is a funny game (and players take time to develop), Pelfrey is 2-0 with an ERA below 2, and Phil Hughes on the Stankees is 0-3 with a snappy 8.82 ERA.

Yes it is early, but still nice to see!

I just got home from the game….some notes from CBP:

- the park was juiced right from the start, and Wright’s 2B off the wall quickly silenced the crowd. There were plenty of Met fans there, but not the usual 15-20k I usually see. I expect that Saturday’s game will be a Met deluge since its a weekend game.

- I was in the upper deck in LF when Reyes went down after the SB, and there were plenty of cheers! Yay, way to go guys. Reminded me of when Dallas’ Michael Irvin almost broke his neck at the Vet and Eagle fans cheered. And when Reyes got up and tried to stretch it out, fans repeatedly booed him like he was milking it or something. And you think Shea fans are bad?!

- I liked Willie leaving in Santana into the 8th, but Heilman coming in with 2 runners on was odd. I suspect that if the tying run was at the plate, Heilman would not have been the guy. I think he’s trying to instill some confidence in him. BTW, Heilman was cheered loudly by the Phillie fans when he walked off the mound.

- ANyone who thinks Delgado is a butcher at first should watch Ryan Howard try and field the position…what a disgrace. And they said he worked on his defense a lot this Spring.

- I was surprised Wags went after Burrell like he did, he was hitting 97 on the gun a few times. He got plenty of boos coming out of the pen, and he just looks awesome pitching from the full windup. A nice quiet 9th is always nice to see.

Here’s to two more wins over the weekend!

what happens if duaner doesnt get back to his old self? heilman will still be the setup guy, and i still believe you guys are rushing to judgement on heilman, he was one of the mets better relievers over the past 2 years..and yet hes off a tough spot and people want his head.
