Well, that sucks…
On another topic, is anyone else as charmed as I am by the heart-warming tale of then-28-year-old ace (and newlywed) Roger Clemens’ protracted dalliance with a 15-year-old girl?
What a Great American.
He’s a great family man.
Which proves he would never take steroi—oooops.
So pretty much he’s a cheater no matter how you slice it.
He brought this on himself.
By filing a defamation lawsuit and claiming someone tarnished your reputation leaves you open to public scrutiny. Clemens first placed his high character at the steps of the court, and now everyone [lawyers, writers, and investigators] gets to dig through his past and throw darts.
If he didn’t file that suit against McNamee, no way do we hear about this, or any other transgression that contradicts his ‘high’ character. Clemens knew how much dirty laundry he had, yet still filed that lawsuit. How stupid is that? The man is even dumber than I thought. Folks, we are talking about a complete rock head here with zero remorse or class whatsoever. More is surely coming down the road. Floodgates are open.
In fact, I bet the jackals are going through his college trascripts right now to see if his grades at Texas were legit.
This is a real life Tom Wolfe novel. Except the main character is actually guilty.
“Clemens reportedly told Petitte that he didn’t have sex with adolescent girls, but he did, on occasion, bring them home for his wife. “
line of the night…hilarious
hahaha I think I just woke my roomate up with my laughter at that one.
Hey, at least he repaid his wife when he got her new boobs and a free regimen of steroids and HGH.
Clemens is such a piece of garbage. I cant wait to do the radio tomorrow to pan him.
will Johan pitch tomorrow?
Yea against Snell
YES! I will be at the game!
pleas dont boo johan
I wonder who gets bumped.
Perez is obviously better than Pelfrey, but having the off day and now the rain out lets the Mets split up the righties in the rotation if they want to bump Perez back a few days instead of Pelfrey.
the can probally now go santana perez maine.. then pelfry. and get the 1 2 3 rotation down instead of the 1 2 4 3.
I’m hoping Willie takes this opportunity to move Ollie into another spot in the rotation, but I doubt this will happen.
I don’t like Perez following Santana in the rotation.
playing august 11th would make the mets play 23 straight days from august 5th to august 27th…
That is absolutely ridiculous. Why no double header?
For a few reasons:
1. Teams hate playing doubleheaders. Ownership, coaches and players hate doubleheaders.
2. The teams play an afternoon game on Wednesday. Playing 3 games in the span of 27 hours is not something that either team would want to do. Moving the Wednesday afternoon game to Wednesday evening would be problematic since the Mets would prefer to fly out to Arizona Wednesday afternoon (landing early Wednesday evening – 8:00pm/9:00pm) as opposed to after midnight (landing early Thursday morning – 2:00am/3:00am).
Mets are off Thursday correct?
they are but the pirates aren’t.
Ernie Banks loved double headers, why don’t today’s players like them?
there’s probably a lot of reasons, but short answer: they are spoiled, pampered primadonnas…
This means Santana gets game 1 against the Yankees…if all things stay the same
i hope so. i have good seats.
What a case of the Mondays
No man. Hell no. I believe you’d get your *ss kicked for saying something like that.
lol, perfect! All you need is the mullet.
what would you do if you had a million dollars…..I’ll tell you what i’d do man, 2 chicks at the same time
you don’t need a million dollars to do 2 chicks lawrence
Why does this seem to happen only on days Santana is to throw?
Lets go Orlando Magic! Close out!!
Great….so now another full day of Delgado Curtain Call talk.
Remember the good old days of non-stop Manny Ramirez trade rumors and Anna Benson quotes?
I miss those days.
So lame. I had REALLY good seats that I bought off of stub hub to see Johan.
Now I have 3 really expensive tickets to see the Pirates on a day when I won’t even be in the country. Meh.
Buy tickets at face value for tomorrow. Should be plenty for this series. Actually I think tomorrow is part of one of the seven packs, so there might be less than for a typical Pirates game, but there will be plenty of decent seats.
Hold on to the tickets from tonight for now. They are moving Jets Night to that August date. Plus Johan might be pitching that game anyway when it comes around. Those tickets might be just as desirable to someone when the date gets closer. Maybe you can make some of your money back.
perfect post…i was all pumped cuz i bought these tickets randomly with my boys in a “i buy, u buy four pack”….
and it happened to be johans 2nd start (i was at his first) AND Jets night @ Shea (huge jets fan here, go GHOLSTON!!!), and now the game is called
but as long as Jets night (now day) is that same date AND i can use those tickets, im happier
ps–i cant just walk into the game on the 11th with my tickets from this game can i? i have to like trade them or something?
Unless they’re doing things differently now, your tickets for tonight’s game are now your tickets for the 11th.
I never read the small print, but I think you can exchange a ticket from a postponed game for another identical priced ticket during the same season. But other than that, tonight’s ticket automatically becomes a ticket for 8/11.
thank u very much…the last time i had rainout tickets, i was at the game vs san diego, exchanged them for St. Louis tickets, which ALSO happened to be a makeup, so i got lucky with a double header, and it happened to be the game where McGwire hit his 49 and 50th HR, becoming the first player in MLB history to do so 3 or 4 years in a row….i dont remember who pitched the 2nd game, but WILLIE BLAIR gave up the HR in the first, in a hard luck loss, that much i remember
Thats right, i went there…Willie Blair
Willie Blair…we got Blair along with Jorge Fabregas for Bernard Gilkey. Oh, and we threw in this guy named Nelson Figueroa. Dunno what happened to him. ;)
to ease the transition into santana’s win tomorrow:
barry zito: 0-6 7.53era
Yeah, how happy are we that Omar didn’t make that move?
On the previous discuss of blaming Omar and Willie- I have to say that there were VERY few moves to be made the last two years and the biggest move he might have made was not signing Zito.
What a joke
As he gets demoted to the pen. A 7 year joke.
Is anyone else concerned that this may mean that Heilmann gets rested up enough to come in the game tomorrow?
Or maybe that is JUST what he needs….some rest…argh…trying to (and failing) to stay positive!!!!
LETS GO METS~!
Well I hate the idea of Heilman EVER coming in to relieve Santana. After falling to Johan’s changeup all night, they’d love to see Heilman’s. Much rather see Johan go 8, and then Wagner come in to slam the door. That would be nice.
not a change heilman comes tomorrow if johan goes 7.
i doubt willie will hesitate to use sanchez on back to back days with the off day thursday,
Damn it, this was probably going to be the only game I watched all week since Grand Theft Auto IV is being released tomorrow.
How dumb do I feel, buying tickets he same day GTA IV comes out. Oh well, at least I can see Johan.
I hear they really enhanced that game on this go around.
In fact, the game actually has a fire Willie Randoph feauture.
I’ll see you out there….. getting GTA tonite
nah…i’m a COD4 guy. It’s crack cocaine.
that is true
I like COD4 too, but it has one fatal flaw: no hookers.
Why would this change around the rotation at all? We have an off day on Thursday so everyone can still throw on normal rest.
I only care because I am going May 12th and am slated to see Johan pitch :)
It doesn’t necessarily change the rotation but it potentially changes matchups. For example, without the rainout, Santana would have pitched today against Pittsburgh and then on Sunday against the DBacks with Perez and Pelfrey pitching Tuesday and Wednesday and Maine and Figueroa pitching Friday and Saturday after Thursday’s offday. With the rainout, Santana pitches on Tuesday (4/29) against the Pirates and then next Monday (5/5) against the Dodgers with Perez pitching Wednesday (4/30) and Pelfrey, Maine and Figueroa pitching Friday through Sunday (5/2 through 5/4)unless they skip someone.
I’m sure you have this right but I hope not. I’m going to all 3 in AZ and I guess I just lost out on a Santana start.
%$@(^#. Oh Well.
john heyman recently listed Omar Minaya as a GM on the hot seat this year, and one reason he gave, is that he replaced Rick Downs with Rickey Henderson as hitting coach. Fact check please?
did he seriously say Henderson was the HITTING coach?
that is unreal.
What AVERAGE met fan (or even follower) doesn’t know this?
Actually when the story first broke, that was exactly what it was. Rickey replacing Rick Down. Then Omar almost immediately said there was going to be a meeting to determine who would go where.
So maybe he meant that Rickey coming back was a result of Omar selling him to the Wilpons as a replacement for Down? That would actually be correct.
RIckey did replace him. But not as a hitting coach, but as a member of the coaching staff, which is capped at a certain number.
Hence, my emphasis on the word HITTING.
Right, but when it was first announced it was announced as Rickey being the new hitting coach. They changed it up almost immediately so It just never materialized that way.
So Omar did sell Rickey to the Wilpons as being the new hitting coach.
In other news, Barry Zito has been sent to the bullpen by the Giants. THANK GOD this guy didn’t land in New York. Could you imagine…
Holy crap you read my mind. I mean I knew he wasn’t nearly worth his contract, but jeez how bad has he been? I know that the team is bad but still. Imagine if he was still in the AL. Thank goodness the Wilpons and Minaya were firm on their stance.
“Some of the best moves are the ones you don’t make.”
Is this a direct quote from Delgado about not going for a groundball hit only a couple feet away from him so he can save his energy for the fist pump on the ensuing double-play? (Sorry, I’ve been caught up with the fist pump all day because I’m sure I’ll be back to his hitting after tomorrow.)
I was just watching SNY, the curtain-gate discussions are getting ridiculous. the Mets’ own station making such a big deal out of this?
Unfortunately with a rain-out the story has another day to fester.
so let me get this straight, SNY constantly drums up controversy on the air on its own network, but for some reason also has dictatorial control over the content on this site?
That’s almost as good as the people who simultaneously claim that George Bush is the dumbest man on the planet, but yet somehow also the evil mastermind behind 9/11 in an intricate plan conquer the Middle East for its oil reserves.
By the way, this isn’t directed at you DaWrightStuff or metsfan, just the people who have been complaining about Matt being censored by SNY over the last few weeks. Unless you are amongst those people, in which case it is directed at you. It’s 5 in the morning and I’ve been studying all night, so I’m gonna stop typing now.
I will be at the game tomorrow. If anyone wants to come up and say hello, I’ll be wearing a Mets cap and a Mets jersey.
You’ll know me when you see me.
According to the Mets probable pitching site:
4/29: Santana v. Snell (Pirates)
4/30: Perez v. Gorzelanny (Pirates)
5/2: Maine v. TBA (D’Backs)
5/3: Figueroa v. TBA (D’Backs)
5/4: TBA v. TBA (D’Backs)
So I guess we are skipping Big Pelf’s turn.
Good, I want our ace against the “best team in the NL.”
totaly off topic ….. but does anyone realize how OMAR would have ruined this franchise for years had he signed ZITO lol
He’s in the bullpen now too. It’s like Omar lost his tickets to the Hindenburg
thank god for Brian Sabean. Any chance we can convince him to give us Lincecum for one of our aging vets, to help them “win now”?
pirates are the perfect to team for ollie to have a really dominating performance and go deep into a game finally
Keep in mind…lets all be happy Wagner is slamming down the door…just imagine what problems we would have if he was giving up runs…
