Great American League lineup
Agreed. I know Endy is great on D but Marlon is such a better bat and I really wish he got more starts.
Let’s hope the Mets break out of their “score 7 runs on Saturday, put up two hits on Sunday” routine. Yanks are struggling. Need to strike while the iron is hot!
Or get over their “never win on Sunday night on ESPN against the Yankees” routine.
About to head to the bar to watch.
LET’S GO METS!!
Any word on the weather out there?
Looks like we’re playing.
Hopefully Perez won’t be as disappointing as Santana was yesterday.
we get it. put the sarcasm stick away and stop beating us over the head with it.
please.
we get it. you got your point across. congrats.
if you mean not having your best stuff, falling behind early, then still keeping your team in it for over 7 innings in an eventual victory, ill take that “disappointing” start like Santana’s any day.
he’s obviously more concerned with stats then wins, which is probably some sort of testament to the fantasy mindset that has taken over. As a Met fan, there’s nothing more important then a Met win. Bottom line.
i really think he’s just being sarcastic in an effort to get attention, which sadly we are all giving him, myself included.
dude…this was covered on another thread. He completely overplayed this pile of sh*t argument.
please don’t encourage him.
IMF, what would it take to make you happy?
8IP OR 0H 18K 0BB ??
So we have the chance to go for a sweep (although 2 games) and Willie isn’t running out his B/C lineup? Shocking!! Geez, what is he managing for his job or something?!?!?!
better late than never
you put your B lineup too keep your A players fresh because its a full season…not cause you feel like jerking off the third game of a series. Willie’s not perfect, but use some valid criticism, and find me a single NL manager who doesn’t do that.
You’ve got to be kidding me that Santana was disappointing. He pitched to the score and we won. The back to back 6 pitch innings when Pettite was struggling was key. Do you expect him to pitch a shutout everytime?
that yankees song sucks
seriously. that was more disappointing than InsaneMetsFan is.
Sunday Night baseball with the idiots Morgan and Miller is really terrible, but that was a nice intro.
Pacman,
I completely agree. I thought that intro was awesome!
they’re taking the tarp off. Want them to win, but want more to see a continuation of yesterday - do whatever you have to to get a lead, and tack on some runs later.
A lot of people say that the Yankee series means nothing. In the standings, it means absolutely nothing since it doesn’t affect other team’s standings in the NL….but I think the Yankees series was just what this team needed to jump-start the last 75% of the season.
Can’t say the comments on Willie are fair or unfair…all i know is that the people that seem to blame Willie for all the faults of the current team….I guarantee they would not credit Willie if it got turned around.
I’m pretty much done talking about the manager at this point. All I will say to that is that I think it works both ways. There are some people who will not blame Willie for anything, ever. Even when the Mets broadcasters have confimed that he was wrong on something.
I really don’t care about the manager anymore. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle anyway. And my guess is that even if he finishes the season, the Wilpons are going to go with something new for Citi Field. But again, for the last time, I don’t care. From now on, for me anyway, it’s all about the team. Unless Willie is grabbing a bat or a glove tonight, I’m not interested.
Already have the sound turned down and music on the satellite radio turned up. I’m in no mood for Miller and Morgan tonight.
MEET the mets… meet the mets… i had to have that interrupted by that yankees garbage!??
Do you guys think Morgan and Miller actually watch baseball during the week or just show up to Ramble on Sunday nights?
I don’t think they even watch baseball on Sunday…..
x2.
what’s hilarious is they seem to be rambling about to completely different things most of the time.
they are so painful.
how much better would it be if they did like a “mix and match” booth for these Sunday games, taking broadcasters from both teams. The nice thing about this series is we could get a booth of Hernandez or Darling plus Coney.
“he reminds me of brandon ….. webb- in the arizona…. in the diamondbacks”- joe morgan
He also feels that he’ll win the Cy Young this year in the National American League.
its so clear peter gammons is reading off a teleporter… and that music is HORRIBLE!!
teleprompter*
Give Gammons a break you chump, he’s one year removed from a brain aneurysm.
Pacman,
Agreed again. But no need for name calling. Joe Morgan and Jon Miller definitley suck though.
over-under on the first big red machine mention?
Or, “Hall of Famer Joe Morgan”.
Let’s get that Big Red Machine drinking game going
If Peter Gammons is going for the old lesbian look, he’s nailed it.
awesome
hahahahahaha
great line
Maybe Morgan will point out that Castillo should play good defense, since he has spent his whole career in MN and is finally back in an AL ballpark…….
Or point out that he [Morgan] was part of the Big Red machine. I’m sure he’ll drop that in about 6 or 7 times.
y dont they just get gary keith and ron to do meet sunday night games. miller and morgan r so boring. if jose reyes is up this is what miller would say ” now batting is jose reyes the 24 switch hitter from the dominican republic” like we didnt already know it.
Can’t wait for three hours of the over-the-top PE-rez and Bel-TRAN calls by Jon Miller.
dont get me started MILLER IS SO ANNOYING
apparently he does a killer Vin Scully impersonation…I wish he would do it for the entire game tonight
Joe Morgran knows all.
better those than “hffthhaaaaafe”
Why won’t espn fire this idiots? I’d rather listen to Mike Tiriacho, whether he watches baseball or not.
miller sounds like a frickin robot
i was at the game yesterday,many more met fans then yankee fans.just you only realized it when the mets were doin well
the yanks are in last…the bandwagon doesn’t pick up their fans until september
Did he not touch that ball before it hit the ground?
It bounced in foul ground. Still a foul ball.
Why Isn’t Delgado hitting 3rd?
who’s playing 3rd? ray charles?
Wow, I wish Pelfrey could throw a sinker like that guy
you gotta wait Wang out, swinging at him early in the count is not usually the way to go with him.
I agree. I’m suprised they didn’t take some pitches.
How come no one makes race-baiting comments about Los Yanquis?
Come on OP!
here comes the statue
Perez looks good!
He’s faced two batters.
baby steps teufel, baby steps
The key is how he deals with his first sign of adversity
Why are the Mets playing a DH on Tuesday? Both teams have an off day on Monday. Why wouldn’t they play the make up on Monday instead of a DH on Tuesday? Doesn’t make much sense.
because there is a limit to how many games you are allowed to play without a day off (i think its something like 21) and if they played tomorrow their next day off would be a lot more than 21(if that IS the correect #) straight games without a day off
at least that what Richard Neer said
They play 23 straight games from August 5-27. There must be another reason.
It’s not that they’re not *allowed* to play that many days in a row, but that the collective bargaining agreement leaves it up to the team’s players to veto it if it’s that many days in a row.
i
hate
joe
morgan
These guys broadcast like they’re on the radio. Let the game breath!
nailed it.
I would pay money to never have to hear Jon Miller’s voice again. I know most people hate Morgan, but I don’t find him half as insufferable as Miller.
oh god, i have to put my tv on mute
I didn’t see the play, but did I hear Morgan say that Anderson didn’t run out that dropped pop-up? That was only foul by a little bit, right? Don’t these guys ever learn?
Did you hear Jon Miller all pumped up on Giambi’s pick.
Well you know, Giambi is wearing his golden thong. It gives him flexibility when it comes to fielding.
Are you sure? He may have lent it out to someone…..
Sorry Disney. the NBA sucks, and all the shameless plugging isn’t going to change that fact
nah…the nba just sucks in ny…it’s pretty good everywhere else
Drive timeout drive timeout - commercial -
Yeah, it’s a blast
pitcher gets ready…batter steps out…batter gets ready…throw to first…
well if you actually watched the games the whole way through, your opinion would probably be more informed then what you just stated. But hey, when you’re tuning into the last 3 minutes, sure, thats what you’ll get. I’ll always say this though, college basketball only seems more fun because the players aren’t as good, there are more mistakes, a too easy 3 point shot, much worse defense.
The last 3 minutes are all that matter. I’d like to see the % of games that are within 5 points in the last 3 minutes. I bet it’s astronomically high. NBA games should just be 3 minutes. They can play a 753 game schedule….and double headers.
y the heck r they talking bout basketball. and has anyone noticed the thing on top of the scoreboard like giambi on a 3-1 count is whatever.
been like that all season……………..
That is obnoxious. WGAF what their average is on a given count. It means nothing.
It’s typical shameless ESPN promotional BS…even worse than FOX
it doesn’t? do you…watch baseball? ever played…? and as for “obnoxious,” you probably can’t even read the text on a smaller TV. apparently you don’t speak/write english very much either.
What about my last post was grammatically incorrect? Didn’t realize we had a Rhodes Scholar amongst us.
My point was that ESPN is always giving us numbers that are completely unnecessary. I would put the “average on a given count” with the likes of “the last player to double on the road after the leadoff hitter got hit by a pitch while hitting from both sides of the plate” stat. I’ve been watching baseball for a long time and numbers like that don’t really mean anything. If a guy is hitting .138 with a 1-1 count and gets a hit, what exactly did that number tell me?
you clearly don’t know what the word “obnoxious” means. this puts you in joe morgan’s company, unfortunately, because he doesn’t know what the word “accountability” means.
and if you seriously need me to explain this to you…no, i don’t have the 3 hours it’ll take to spell this out to you, so get that brain of yours working on it.
glad oliver is in elite company …. with barry zito
he won a Cy Young!!
NICE!
church!!!!!!!!!!!!
MVP!!!!!!!!
I <3 Ryan Church.
there we go!
Ryan Church>Lastings Milledge
Gotta love Church …
Unbelievable. I love you church!
Great catch by Church.!!!
Church=GG
Church just made two plays that inning that Shawn Green and Xavier Nady do not make.
Go to Fiberama …. You’ll be pleased !!!!
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I LOVE Ryan Church
Perez is already walking a thin line. Unlike Santana he does not get better as the game goes on.
No he’s not.
uh, yes he is. he has 0 control as usual and has gotten lucky twice.
Perez can’t focus, unlike most of the time, this is considered a “big game” by him. He will be fine.
I had a feeling he was gonna be my favorite Met this year.
Church On Time !!
Lastings who???
i love church!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant get enough of this guy.
Carlos Delgado I don’t love
FYI: If you have XM Radio, they carry the old Wolfman Jack shows. He dropped a few Mets references on the show they’re playing right now. I really idolized this guy when I was a kid, but don’t remember him ever talking about baseball or even saying anything that would have made me think he cared about it.
Still rather listen to him then the guys most of you are listening to now! :)
So to recap: Miller and Morgan turned down. Music turned up. And right outside my window, a great view of the Empire State Building lit up in Mets orange and blue.* Not a bad way to spend an evening at home.
*ESB is lit up Mets orange and blue on the East and West sides of the building. Yankees colors on the North and South sides. If the Mets win tonight, the whole building goes orange and blue. If they split it stays the way it is. Just a bit of trivia if anyone cares.
i’ve actually always wondered about that…thanks
The building? I don’t remember them ever doing the split sides before, but I didn’t live where I could see it before, so I never really paid much attention.
But for a few years now, the winner of the series gets their colors up there for the entire city to see. Since the Mets can only split, there will be at least some orange and blue up there tonight, if not all around. I don’t know why I enjoy this stuff so much, but it’s really cool.
wangs thrown 19 pitches to the first 7 batters ……….
now where are all of the fans complaining about that trade
i never did
How much are they going to talk about Wagner. Last time I checked it has been resolved. No need to beat the dead horse. But at least its better than them talking about the all mighty Yankees who can do no wrong in their eyes.
Let’s Go Mets!
Joe Morgan does hate the Yankees. He is definitley not on their sac like the rest of the national media.
I wish Joe Morgan would say accountability just one more time.
your wish was granted!
you got your wish!
and get the meaning of the word completely wrong? haha, he’s an f’in idiot.
seriously, can you imagine where this team would be if they replaced Church’s .309/.379/.530, 8 HR, 30 RBI and gold glove worthy defense with Milledge’s .240/.312/.325, 1 HR, 14 RBI and frequent brain lapses in the field? And that’s not even thinking about Schneider.
come on, i know you miss Do Luca… or Lo Duca??? what is it again?
nope…i do miss yorvitt torealba though
Torrealba was in a Carlos Gomez highlight the other night, he hit a fly ball that Gomez made a great play on.
In an alternate universe, they were teammates on an 11-26 Mets team…
Yorvit, we hardly knww ya
Thank You Omar!
the thing with Milledge is, he might turn out to be a fine offensive player as a CF, but the way he’s playing right now, he isn’t a true CF, not nearly good enough to command staying there, its just the Nats have no one better. When Milledge switches to a corner spot, does he still have the offensive skills to merit being a good player? we’ll see.
This is the last thing the Mets needed was to face Wang at the top of his game. They are playing right into his hands too, swinging at the first or second pitch. Perez better get ahold of himself, one run is going to win this game. Wang looks totally in control.
It’s not a coincidence the Yanks are throwing out their best arms against the Mets.
and throwing Santana against the Yanks wasn’t doing that? or should we have pushed up Maine and skipped Ollie in this turn? that would have been smart…skip Ollie, mess with his psyche even more!
What are you a senile old man? Who are you arguing with? I’m just saying the Yanks are going to be throwing out their best pitchers against the Mets.
Wang is the only bright spot on the Yankees team.
I would sure love to have him on the Mets, how about we give them Aaron Heilman, Nelson Figueroa, and Damion Easley for him?
That’s a fair trade.
As long as he’d come with a restraining order against Peterson.
Stop talking about Yadier ^%$#@ Molina…
haha, heilman should still be held “accountable”
Oh Boy…Wang is make this look too easy
BIG RED MACHINE!
drink
little slow for me. I’ll have two drinks
big red machine mention!
such an ollie perez throw to first
Shut Up Pete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sweet! julio lugo that gammons!
touche….
I love when Jose is hitting and getting excited
Please tell me they’re not bunting Reyes over
ACCOUNTABILITY!
drink!
sweet! some action
yes sir! there ya go jose.
(and now waiting for someone to mention that he did it on the first pitch)
it was the 2nd pitch actually
well then, my bad on that one
accountability…. why bunt with anderson… hes a lefty and wangs a ground ball pitcher… chances are he hits a ball to the right side
thats why
thats why
see that would be a run if he bunted
Bonehead play !!!!
that sucks
are you kidding me
Why Not get in a run down to move anderson up!
and reyes makes another base running blunder… he was trying to act smart with wang and wang got the last laugh
explain to me how that’s a blunder?
a baserunning error by Reyes? surely you jest
Where was Reyes’s accountability???
lovely
head. out. of. a$$.
More like blow out of nose.
oh that hurts there…
Are you smarter than a fifth grader… Mets edition!
bunt them over Willie
I mean, reyes is leading off 2nd, what is he supposed to do? be 2 feet off 2nd, and thats it?
gimme a break he wouldnt have gotten back anyway
agreed
I thought it was weird, though, that he didn’t try to get into a rundown to at least give Anderson a chance to second base.
Shut up Joe!
Shut up Joe!
Shut up Joe!
Shut up Jon!
I want Gary, Keith and Ron!
Sweet Jesus, will someone please tell Joe Morgan to shut up!!!!!!!
just put it on mute… thats what i did
Well beggars can’t be choosers. Good job Delgado.
PHUCK YOU UMPIRES, GET OFF YOUR KNEES YOUR BLOWIN” THE GAME!
Well, that isn’t Reyes’ fault…it’s Anderson’s……baseball according to Morgan.
it was andersons fault
wow, there are a lot of Mets fans there
if joe morgan doesnt shut the hell up im gonna have to liten to the radio. these two guys have to be the worst announcers in baseball. id rather lidten to 2 newborns crying for three hours than listen to these guys
ohhhhh church, come on buddy.
come on ryan we need u in this spot!!
Church is pretty much the only guy in the line-up I would want up in this situation.
come on Church, grand slam
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
Golden Boy couldn’t make the play…I’ll take it.
OFF THE BAG!
Guess the thong was riding up his ass
Church can seriously do no wrong… even when he hits just a ground ball.
Awesome…becoming more and more convinced that Keith Hernandez is the only 1B who can actually turn that DP…
Alou makes me nervous with the potential DP
YEA!!!!!
nice swing alou
senior citizen rules!!!
yeeeeeeeah Alouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The hitting machine
AAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
yeah baby!
that might have been a homer if that was full
full swing i mean
40+ year old hitting machine!!!!!!
HOLY MOISES AND HOMERUN DELGADO
WOW
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS FAIR
Man Oh Man !!! Was that Delgado ?
ugh! so Jeter tells the umps to over turn a call and they do it? bs
I despise the leftfield fence of Yankee Stadium
How much $$$ did GEORGE pay the umps to change that call?
wowwwwwww
oh COME ON that’s a homer.
THESE UMPIRES SUCK. THEY R HORRIBLE.
YOu NEED to get thrown out.
BULLSH!T!!!!
SECOND FREAKING TIME!!!!
F******G UMPIRES
WTF!!!
lol poor Delgado. When it rains it pours.
WHAT A F’ING JOKE
Unbelieveable !!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING??? i’ve never seen the umps convene on a call so quickly like that, what BS, Jeter runs over to an ump and they over turn it. BS
GODDMANIT USE A F’ING INSTANT REPLAY. HOW HARD IS THIS AND HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO GET BURNED BY THIS!
YES!!! FINALLY
JERRY JERRY JERRY
thats good. get the team fired up
At least Jerry Manuel has some fire.
Good job Jerry.
Willie didn’t even budge. I am on the Fire Willie Bandwagon OFFICIALLY.
what didn’t he budge on?
no he did budge…please watch the tv before talking….
tilmetsdouspart…that’s just an ignorant comment…willie was fuming…
Can we just suck it up and have replay…..
We’re about 10 years overdue.
seriously. So ridiculous that they could easily get these calls right but they don’t. And I’m a “traditionalist” who hates the DH, interleague and the wild card.
Jeter is a phag!
I’ve heard switch hitter actually. OK, everyone’s heard that. But where there’s smoke there’s fire.
there should absolutely be a reevaluation of all umps. these guys suck.
Stupid Yankee loving umpires.
jerry manuel just got thrown out of the game, but willie might have gotten thrown out of a job
BAD JOB BLUE
I missed the ejection. How did Manuel get thrown out? I went and called someone when the BS call went down and missed a few secs there. Maybe more than a few secs I guess.
if the mets lose cuz of this i will kill bob davidson and jeter. i guess there is a new rule in baseball. if jeter says it isnt a homer its not
Jerry took one for Willie, someone had to go, Jerry stepped up, JERRY MANUEL FOR MANAGER! HE HAS HIS PLAYERS/MANAGERS BACK!!!
oh shut up. Willie was yelling too.
Proud of Willie…he was pissed, getting in the umps face…
Willie was the one the ump told to shut up. Heard that clearly.
fall back willie lover!
Barely.
He needs to be out on the top step, not hiding behind Manuel inside the dugout.
I’m so pissed right now
how on earth could they call that a foul ball? if that was foul, it would have HAD to have gone into the seats, such BS
i don’t understand this…the closest ump immediately calls it fair. how the hell can you overturn that?
willie was yelling at the ump and you could hear the ump shout “shut up willie” and then that pissed jerry off. they were both showing fire.
I missed that. So they were both getting in the umps face and Jerry was the one who took it one step over the line? If that’s what happened I can live with that. What I don’t understand is how Jeter can get something overturned when the ump who was responsible for making that call already called it a HR.
That Joe Morgan, He is SO smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep Joe, EVERY single play would get reviewed, just like they do in the NFL. Man, those games are SO long…
Joe Morgan has not a clue in the world !!!
cuz jeter said it was foul
Great idea taking the word of the Yankee f’ing centerfielder, what pros
exactly, how he’s gonna believe damon???He’s on the opposing team!!!
omg shut the f*** up jon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW BOUT THEY CALL THAT ONE FOUL
ok, before everyone jumps all over willie (i know too late). from that looks of it, Jerry went and looked at a tv and clearly saw it was a fair ball and thus his arguing.
ah, whats the difference. jump all over him
WAXIN!
that looked like a foul to me
?
it was absolutely clearly fair
the ground ball…
it was a joke
YA FUKK YOU UMPS
alright Carlos….you got screwed but at least you made up for it a bit
Great job Delgado, two hits and 4 RBIS is one at bat
Not a home run but Delgado stuck it to ‘em !!!!
f the umps, f the yankees, LETS GO METS!
DELGRAMPA!!! GREAT AT BAT!
hopefully this won’t matter and we’ll plate 2 more here
Yea, delgado. Fuk ‘em.
see thats what they desrve bitc*es
im glad to see jerry manuel get ejected: stand up for your players
Was that a job interview there by Manuel?
Jeter thong sniffing umpire thats why it got overturned.
garbage…the guy closest to the play calls fair and the three guys furthest overturn him DEFINITIVELY. How the hell can they be so definitive?
obviously the one guy wasn’t on the payroll
because the 3rd base ump is a pushover. mae the right call, not the popular one dumbass
Come on karma, work it baby
guys its the Yankees, everything goes their way. At least Delgado got the RBI, should be 6-0 though.
damn
not gonna lie, I like Robinson Cano. I wish he was on the Mets.
204 ba 256 obp 318 slg
overrated
this year, but he’s a career .305/.338/.474 and he plays good defense.
Beltrans not having a good year, is he overrated?
at the plate? yes.
if there was a homer to straight away center theyd call it foul
Generally, I am against replay in baseball…but cases like that abomination make me think twice.
there’s gotta be for homers, I’ve seen too many overturned calls
the way I look at it is, if replay had been available in 1876, do you really think the founders of the National League wouldn’t have used it, back before there was such a thing as “tradition” in pro baseball?
i hate this ump, what kind of bs call was that? low and outside!
JERRY MANUEL JUST GOT A JOB!!!
+1
i love jerry, but shut up
When will castillo swing without having 2 strikes in the count?!??!?
come on castiNO
PHUCK THE UMPIRES!
Oliver’s Army came through. Now can he hold the lead ???
highway robbery!
I’m sorry, but I don’t see how Randolph doesn’t put up enough of an argument to get thrown out of this game. He’s a pussy and needs to go.
Jerry Manuel for Manager. Willie can compete for the bat boy’s job.
he did, and then the ump threw out jerry bc they were both arguing
Exactly…needs to go on the spot. I hope you’re watching Wilpons. “I fight for my guys”, my ass!!!
are you kidding? Willie was the first one out of the dugout, Jerry saw the replay and went nuts, he protected willie so willie didn’t need to get kicked. You could see willie yelling during the whoel thing in the dugout.
Ditto!!!!
what the hell is the point of getting kicked out of the game? I HATE when people get kicked out of games. He wasn’t gonna get that call overturned, so what’s the point?
Jeter got the call overturned
and Willie Randolph is not Derek Jeter. Jeter gets the Lebron treatment
ny cuban - your act is getting tired, get over it already
I’m sorry, but are you even watching the game and what happened?
Willie was yelling at the umpire, umpire was yelling at Willie to shut up, Jerry Manuel joined in and got thrown out.
Was that turn of events too complex for you to see?
apparently so, but hey, when you’re wearing your “willie is the root of all bad” glasses, that probably leads to that.
I don’t want to hear Yankee fans bitch about calls the whole rest of the game
year*
You know they will. Yankee fans are the pu$$ies of the MLB.
Matt, I apologize for the foul language, but I am really upset. If you delete my posts, I understand.
It’s ok to say pu$$ies, but once this series is over, please cool it on the word Yankee for a while. There’s foul language, and then there’s the just plain obscene.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo we got a break there
Come of Reyes, rip the freaking cover off of the ball
The ump didn’t want to toss Willie, he screamed “shut up willie!” He probably didn’t want to toss him because Willie was back in the bronx, but Willie and the staff knew that somebody had to get tossed in that situation. Jerry realized this and took one for the team. Mad respect Jerry. BTW, WANG just showed up the ump after that ball 3 call and the ump didn’t say anything to WANG.
all good points
That foul poll has to be accountable there
damon=doofus
Yep. Matt deleted my post. Just as I thought.
Never mind. They are still there. :)
No matter what you think, Cerrone doesn’t sit around and monitor the comments section and delete posts, he has better things to do during the game.
Well It’s my first time posting in the game section. I wasn’t aware if the posts are monitored or not.
Absurd inning. These umps ought to be embarassed when they see that replay.
They don’t give a rat’s behind. They still make money, a few million upset fans don’t bother them.
Unless the media rips them up. Come on SNY you know you want to do it!
what the hell is with reyes?? why can’t he help himself?
Because he is Jose Reyes, Domincan Republic 24 switch hitter!
great Budweiser commercial
that was a long inning for OP… hold on to you hats people
hey, insaneyankeefan! how’s your ace doing now? so much for your 8 innings 1er outing. you got a huge break! the mets are up against 13 men instead of nine!
yeah seriously, what’s up with the Yankees’ “ace” and his supposed 8 IP of 1 ER?
reyes led off the inning with a double and had a baserunning booboo…give me a break on the pop up…
but seriously…ollie needs to have a quick inning if he’s ever had one before….
Umpire hunting season just opened.
where do we get the license?
Rifles ready!
You know some of the players saw that in the clubhouse and got word to the dugout that the ball was fair. Willie should’ve gone absolutely crazy.
willie did crazy..just cause he didn’t get thrown out doesn’t mean he didn’t get crazy..
GAWD ollie CAN YOU PLEASE GET A 123 inning????
I’m just going to consider that you are not watching the game at all with your comment there.
He went crazy on 2 occasions.
Once on the field, and once in the dugout.
There are no catering tables to toss on the field to go crazy like you’d like him to. Kicking dirt on umpire shoes died with Billy Martin.
Raped of three runs.
Only 2, but still
If they lose this game 5-4….Oh man, I don’t know, friggin umps. BLUE BALLS all of’em
Mets will win as long as Heilman doesn’t enter the game.
If they have tvs in the dugout then why can’t the Umps look at them for further review? It only fuels the fire for their crappy calls.
I believe that an Ump actually did that once and correctly reversed a call, the MLB reprimanded that Ump for using Replay.
Oh boy, are there going to be some deleted posts by the time this game is over
He did not just say that!
man, Willie should have made them go check the foul pole for that scuff mark, like the modern equivalent of the shoe polish incident
I really thought we were all going to witness Willie showing enough emotion to fire-up his team and get booted. Instead, one of his coaches gets tossed, and I’m still left with the feeling that Willie is just too shy.
Instant Replay would be nice.
Home-Run or not - the Mets better end-up winning this game. Cmon.
it looked foul to me
Was that a phucking homer?
well there goes the 2 runs that delgado didn’t get….and there goes all my trust in ollie as a pitcher
Good to see Ollie pitch well with a lead.
drumrolll….Let. The. Implosion. Begin…..
matsui HR looked foul to me
thats a foul ball
Beat me to it…. god, i’m pissed.
ugh, way to pick up your team Ollie
wow they better not lose this game.
Way to step it up Perez
well that sucks.
Unreal. This better not be a loss. Typical though. Stuff like that has always happened in favor of the Yankees throughout their history. I knew they would come right back and score.
hey, there’s a suprise, ollie giving runs riiiiiiiight back!
Apparently John is a big yankee fan by that HR call
i know really he is like GODZILLA A HOMERUN IN THE BIG APPLE
The only reason why the Bronx can be called the Big apple is because it’s only baseball team are all fruit!
time to put in wagner
Shocked the ump didn’t knock the ball out of Schneiders glove
This game will be tied in no time. I can’t believe the umps missed that call.
Wow. What a terrible terrible call. I know everyone has already said it, and I dont care if they miss a close play at first, but look at the fan showing the mark on the ball where it hit the f**ing foul pole. What crap. Willie should have been ejected sooner. He should have been furious from the get go. Good that he showed enough emotion to get kicked out though. Good for Manuel too. And way for Delgado to keep his head and get the Ribbie anyways. Now cmon ollie, pull together. Ugh.
Just what we needed Ollie, thanks!
Life is totally unfair. It only makes it worse that I am Mets fan.
plunk a guy hitting 204….cmon perez
that didnt hit him. that was a foul ball
OMG OP!!!!
Mets, don’t lose this game, seriously
fair
the umps just gathered and decided that was actually fair
Nice one.
can they play this game under protest…?
Does it matter?
That wasn’t a foul ball by Cabrera, that was a HR!!! …ugh
Willie should have taken his guys off the field until the proper call was made. It’s not unprecedented.
can we just give him the gold glove now, please
i’ve got this horrible feeling in my stomach…sometimes i really hate baseball
does jon miller honestley have to yell safe
phew
cmon pop-eye. You cant let a guy steal twice on you like that. Holy “cow” OP survived the inning.
he gave up two runs, let’s not get too comfy
belTRON is coming up
Hey Jon,
Will they fix the foul pole and put it in the right spot between innings
I know where id like to move the foul pole to…bend over Joe
just remembered, that’s the second time this year the Mets got screwed with a non-home run call.
Yes, and both times the calls were initially correct
First game ended in a Met blowout anyways… lets hope same happens here.
See….. I was right.
By the way, way to paint the bottom of the foul pole black. What the fck is that?
Notice how it’s just a one foot section. The very bottom is yellow.
It’s like a bad polish joke
The bench coach should never be making more noise than the manager. Willie needs to grow a pair. He should’ve carried on until he was tossed, especially when he knows the umps bew the call.
hey darryl get back in the studio
just another moronic statement…wouldn’t expect anything less strawberry
why is getting tossed right there necessary? that’s the question, Willie was arguing the most, it was just Jerry who came in and went nuts for a few seconds to get tossed, and now Jerry gets all the credit.
I can’t decide who I hate more…Jeter…Giambi…or Joe and John.
All depends on how you look at it.
You can turn the sound down and you’re done with Morgan and Miller. You can’t avoid the other two guys unless you turn the game all the way off. So at least two of those guys can go away if you don’t mind losing the sound.
Good Call. I’ll put on WFAN. And giambi will be done in a year cause all the juice he used will finally catch up to his aging body. I geuss, as always, I hate jeter the most.
joe and john
wait wait…how about the umps. Just for today, I’ll hate them more than Jeter.
how do you not ask girardi about the foul ball home run call? god are these guys brutal
Yea great job. I hate these guys.
Wow …. I didn’t know the NL doesn’t have the DH
Thanks again Jon
F**K ESPN AND THE UMPS!
good call on talking about the celtics during a mets-yankees game…way to know your audience…lets talk about tom brady next
Annika Soernstam is retiring too. And the Penguins advanced to the Cup Finals.
Wait…who?
yawn….time for the offense to zzzzzzzz
Why is my statement moronic? Willie should’ve exploded and he didn’t. The whole momentum of the game has changed after that play.
willie was going nuts, he came out of the dugout, was yelling the whole time, kept yelling in the dugout, and then Jerry, who must have seen the replay, went nuts for like 2.2 seconds, got tossed.
Willie should have never gone back to the dugout. Period! If there is ever a time to get tossed it was there. Personally I’d stop the game until the umps reconvene. Make them walk out there. IT’S BEEN DONE BEFORE!!
make them walk out? in the 4th inning, of a game you’re up in anyway? when was that done before?
And then what? The Mets are still winning the game. The call sucks, but you can’t do what you’re suggesting. That’s a good way to be sure nothing goes your way the rest of the game.
and what, is it now Willie’s fault that Ollie let up runs as soon as we put runson the board? If willie would have gotten tossed, Ollie wouldn’t have done that? Yeah, keep dreaming.
Dude, your’e statement was dead on. Willie should have done more.
its moronic b/c he got out there he made his point, everyone saw him fired up. the call was wrong but it was absolutely not going to change after they had already conferred and called it foul. getting tossed accomplishes nothing. and they kept giving the umpire the business and manuel jumped in when the ump came over to warn them. make a comment that actually adds something instead of negative, pointless comments. i mean i konw that’s your schtick but its a pretty tired act.
Dear John,
Stop complaining about the fair line and the fair pole. They’re not next to each other when you look at them from two feet away because of the ANGLE OF THE FENCE. Go back to school.
Yours truly,
Mets Fans
PS - you’re a tool.
But the foul pole is in the wrong place………
so is his brain.
That call seriously ruined the game. That’s all I’m going to be thinking about now.
I have a very sick feeling that the non-call will cost this team the game. Unless they shove some Ritalin down OP’s throat, he’s going to be thinking about that and a billion other things and the implosion will continue….i’ll keep seeing that missed call and reyes swinging at the first pitch and popping it up w/ the bases loaded….
Jeez…..i hate all molinas…
what about gustavo molina, the mets 4th string catcher?
hah…good point, don’t mind him so much…
watching ollie is like watching a soap opera
wang wont give up a hit the rest of the nite
is there a lead ollie can’t blow? i was literally his biggest fan last year but COME ON YOU BUM. this like glavine all over again.
SO glad to be wrong here
Consider this game tied.
barry bonds said that!?? barry bonds talks to the media?
I thought thats who Wags was talking about the other day. I dont think he played in the game either.
barry said that in 2004
This is Oliver Perez’s inning. And that’s not a good thing.
Man, Perez better have some control for the next couple of innings. If he can’t get pumped for this type of game then we shouldn’t waste our time with him next year.
what is Ollie doing? doesn’t he care how he does? stop dropping your delivery down, he sucks when he does that.
and then he’s capable of doing that, oh Ollie you enigma you.
american league umps are like jeter….gay
Do they have herpes also?
of course
Of course I have hairpiece on my head, where else would you have hairpiece, on your ****?
Sorry for the Cheech and Chong reference.
pretty sure there havent been AL umpires for a long time now, maybe 6-8 years. all crews work either the NL or AL…
and blow ponies
omg listening to these two is like listening to paint drying.
Curved ???
Idiot
Why is the foul pole directly in line?????
that environmentalist comment by joe morgan was as dumb as they get
joe morgan and john miller make me want to vomit.
Gary and Ron please.
Maybe Keith to eat ribs and describe proper hitting mechanics, because outside of that everything he says is stupid.
we only need 5 or 6 from ollie
Really??!??!?! And tell me why you haven’t been watching the mets bullpen this year?
feliciano, smith, sanchez (minus one bad outing) and wagner have been exceptional this year. i’ll take 3 innings from those guys if ollie can get us through 6 with only 2 runs
Are these 2 guys the two stupidest people are earth?
What a pitch! Keep your head in this Ollie, one more batter c’mon!!
walk Jeter, seriously, a homer by that fudge packer would do me in
should walk Jeter
Then again…lol
You dont put the tieing run on
In the late innings thats true but its only the 5th. I didnt know how good Matsui hits Perez, which if I did, I’d pitch to Jeter
Gee, I’m glad we walked Jeter to pitch to a man that has already taken Ollie deep, bringing the go ahead run to the plate. Common sense now fellas.
Right, so Matsui can hit a 3-run HR this time.
I need to be able to close my eyes like a horror movie and just squint at the action.
dirty felic and smith are fresh
Heilman is fresh too. . . .
doh!!
Atta boy Ollie
well, at least he got out of it, nice job Ollie
Good inning Ollie! Just one more! With that said, Willie BETTER have someone warming in the pen as Ollie starts the inning. First sign of meltdown inning, PULL THE TRIGGER! Will Willie do this? Of course not! He “trusts his guys”
did anyone notice something on Perez’s lip when they zoomed in on his face in the fifth inning with Molina on third.
where did the cold sore come from?
He shared a soda with Jeter and got herpes.
C’mon dude, do you really care about a cold sore? Where did it come from? Baseball players can’t get facial imperfections now??!?! CHURCH!!!!
We need more runs. Ollie is an implosion away from giving up 4 runs.
Lol… Yo Mamma Ween. That commercial is fantastic.
yeah its pretty funny
ok perez pitched muched better this inning. Come one ollie give us one more inning ( then we can pray to the gods that the bullpen won’t fudge it up).
I love him
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MVP MVP MVP MVP
CHURCH!!!
CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make the power of Christ compel you!!!
god is church good…MVP
That’s a HIT!!
YES!!!
might’ve been a foul though
no more hits off of Wang huh?
good call bringing that up darkstar
I wonder if they’ll reverse this one.
AMEN
wait, that ball may have gotten lost in the black. are we sure THAT one was a home run?
Man, Church has some raw power. awesome 5-2
Church will be starting in RF back in this stadium in a few months.
KARMA!!
How did Miller think Jeter’s fly our was gone off the bat, but didn’t know Church’s was???
i want some church on sunday jokes
Actually, he’s hit a lot of homers on Sunday games.
Read Newsday tomorrow morning.
The bad call…I kinda get the feeling it sounded like when John Candy in “Rookie of the Year” was on the radio during a long fly ball…with his co-announcer go “ITS FAIR” “ITS FOUL” ITS FAIR” “ITS FOUL”
Difference is, they made the right call in that movie.
what assholes miller and morgan on. church hits a shot to center and they r busy talking bout reggie jackson.
lastings who?
You can’t fault the umpires ….
HE GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
Oh, you mean the guy who had a straight-line view from about 100 ft away? Nah…….
Umpires make many stupid mistakes. Remember there was a Phillie game where the opposing team hit a foul ball that didn’t even touch the foul post and was ruled a hr. Phillies got really screwed
I don’t remember where it was nor do I even remember who it was, but it was last year, we hit a home run, the ball hit a seat on the other side of the wall, ricocheted like 20 feet in the air and the umps some how figured it hit the padded wall
Ollie’s at 80 pitches. His usual lose it number is 85 pitches. Have to keep a close eye on him and have someone up.
With the pen rested, and Ollie pitching, Willie will have a short leash.
damon = doofus
“the guy next to the pole got it” good explanation for why it was a foul ball…IDIOT
So by his logic, a homer that hits the upper dec and bounces onto the field should be a live ball, right?
Okay Ollie, please don’t implode
this hank bit is so poorly done. i feel like it was done by a bunch of high school students instead of espn
totally agree…that was terrible
i liked the fire that popped up
God Bless Ryan Church!
Hank Steinbrenner is living proof that you can crossbreed a man and a pig
lol
What did the pig population ever do to deserve that statement?
I think the Yankees are worth more than a Million.
Gammons = Dr. Evil
Just love Morgan saying it was the foul side of the foul pole. I always thought the entire pole was considered fair territory. Love the explanation of the curving wall and the pole being offset…..Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut….
i was content with muting the tv and listen in to howie and hagin until “and kiss it good bye!” Cmon hagin, cant you come up with something new? im getting sick of that call. (but ill take the home run of course)
his call for reyes’ homer yesterday was atrocious. “ADIOS” in a horrible accent
I know, there’s no escape now with Hagin
It should just be Ed Coleman and Howie Rose.
hahah poor giambi
I have to take a Xanax when Perez pitches. :(
Perez, seriously, enough with hitting the shttiest hitters in the lineup
no kidding, they’re hitting a combined .198…things like that kill me
in all fairness, fatass giambi is hard to miss
GET SOMEONE UP!!!
7IP, 3H, 2R, nuff said
this is the big inning for OP….make it count…
as i typed that he hit giambi…
ryan church is sooo good right now…gotta believe he comes back to earth, but even if he does come back…20 homers isnt ridiculous for the season…and that’s improvement from last year if he has even close to 43 doubles…plus great defense
He’s been a Godsend. Schneider has been hitting great and playing okay defensively.
7th innings = Heilman Time
7 1/3 with the game tied, he comes out!
Was I the only one who sh!t my pants when Perez was throwing to second?
Hits him with the 86th pitch
Nice move by the Giambino…..I did think you were supposed to make some effort to get out of the way of a pitch though.
Beautiful
Perfect
nice dp op
im shocked OP had the composure to make that double play…
im also shocked that cano is sooo slow he couldn’t beat that out.
WOW A QUALITY START FOR OP…BREAK OUT THE CHAMPAGNE!!!!!
No no no, cause it will taste much sweeter in October. :)
Good Job Opie. I didnt mind seeing Giambi plunked, as long as you got out of the inning and you did. He’s been cleaning up his messes all night long. Good stuff.
Can he get by one more inning?
I love an easy dp. should perez pitch the seventh with the bottom of the order?
yes, he should, i think he’s still under 100 and we’ve got a 3 run lead, let him go out there, very short leash though
yes, with joe smith, duaner up
Yeah, he should. You’re going to have someone up sooner or later anyways, so Willie should just keep Ollie on a short leash. I wouldnt nessicarily expect him to make it THROUGH the inning, but Ollie needs to pitch deep into the game for once…
As soon as Ollie fielded that ball I blurted out “easy Ollie”……lol. I could see that ball sailing into centerfield…..Thank God it didn’t
that’s exactly what Ollie needed right there, nice
you have to bring ollie out in the 7th
Good Game Perez, they got what they needed, he should be done!
I’d like to see the Mets tack on a few more runs and allow Ollie to get a bit more confident. He usually pitches well with a big lead. So much for the Yankees having superoir pitching to the Mets. Nothing better than seeing Wang getting smacked around, Pettite lose, and the invincible Joe-buh getting scored on.
i actually would say the exact opposite of that. Does Ollie really usually pitch better with a big lead? I never really thought that. I’ve found that when Ollie is given a lead, he usually finds a way to lose focus and let it up and put the Mets back into a close game.
Heilman will come in the 7th, put a runner in and be relieved by….
HEILMAN! Who will leave the game 7-5, Yankees.
dude, that’s not funny
heilman has taken two years away from me. and I want them back.
pacman your the most ridiculous poster on this site!!!
Meant to Say Ollie starts the 7th, relieved by that nerd Heilman.
that’s the insult we’re using now with Heilman? we’re making fun of him because he’s smart/a nerd? When did being smart become a bad thing? And i’m not against ripping into Heilman a bit right now, he deserves it, but c’mon…
He’s smart now? I just meant he looks like a nerd, like Willie and his mustasche looks like a porn star. Where do you get off saying Heilman is smart? Smart is not throwing meatballs down the middle to be crushed and NOT learning from your mistakes.
Heilman is a smart guy, that has nothing to do with baseball, he’s just intelligent, there is a world outside of baseball you know. I mean, i’m not even sure what your comment means either. Obviously Heilman is not pitching well right now, but he knows how to pitch, he’s been pretty successful for us the pat 2+ years. He sucks now, sure. Either way, he is a smart guy, I thought you were making fun of him for being a nerdy kind of guy. Either way, not sure what’s wrong with being a nerd.
Stephen Hawking is smart, and I guarantee you he isn’t getting anybody out. Not trying to start anything here. Just didn’t see any other Stephen Hawking references tonight and felt like the time was right.
look, i saw him call him a nerd and that just seemed like a stupid insult to me, I would figure as a Mets fan he might know Heilman IS actually an intelligent guy and he was somehow holding that against him.
I was responding to him and siding with you. Heilman is a very intelligent guy. It doesn’t mean he’s not going to have problems on the mound. He’s intelligent, and he’s human.
i think you are giving too much credit to some guy who uses pacman jones as a screen name
sorry alreadymissshea, i misinterpreted what you said, thanks for siding with me, and batsinthepelfrey, you are so right, way too much credit for a guy with a name like that.
What an A**hole you are
man I hope Willie doesn’t bring out Heilman. If he does, his job is on the line because he’s too stubborn. Can we get any good middle relievers before the trade deadline?
Muniz has been pretty much lights out down at NO
I feel like we’ve got good middle men, it’s just Heilman has messed that up for us. Take him out of the equation or if he turns it around, our pen is tight.
along with Sosa being gone
shouldnt we know what the deal is w sosa by now? let go? traded ? re assigned to AAA?
should be Sanchez with Pedro as back up for 7th, then Smith in the 8th and then Wagner
Please warm up Smith
good, the pen is ready
feliciano should be up too so many lefties to face….
as much as i love heilman…and yea i do love heilman (why people forget his last two years is beyond me)….he can’t come into this game…
he should take a break like zito did and just sit out for a week or so….call it 15-day mental hygiene list…
right on
Well its a “what have you done for me lately” mentality. Also it will be up to the starters going late into games for him to be able to take some time off.
Excellent point. I completely agree with that.
NO HEILMAN WARMING! Like I said pre-game, with this lineup and now this bullpen usage, Willie is managing like his job is on the line!!!! WAY TO GO WILLIE!!! ITS ABOUT TIME!!!
middle of mets pen is good, but mets need heilman, don’t make any mistake about that…
The pen sure does look great when pitchers can at least get into the 7th.
come on finish strong ollie…finish strong!
I know Ollie just got an out there, but against any decent hitter, that might be gone (or in any other stadium). You could see Schneider hitting the ground, telling Ollie to get it down, it was a 0-2 count, and what does Ollie do? just kind of flings it up there, middle of the plate, hanging slider.
wooot…good pitch…got lucky with that pitch against gonzales and lucky that it was alberto at the plate and not a major leaguer….but still…7 strong….sit down and root for your relievers
joe morgan is on his own planet
Isn’t Mars called the Reds Planet?
brilliant!
Great Job Ollie!
OLLIE!!!
So they have more trouble against the Nationals then the Yankees now?
you got to be kidding me….put that in the past, where it actually is…the mets have clearly responded to that debacle over the last two games….just hopes it carries into atlanta/colorado
Dude, didn’t you realize this team meeting put their head on their shoulders? lol
Nice pitching ollie. I think he is done. Leave on a good note, for the next start.
Ollie turned it around and pitched his best game of the year so far
7ip, 2ER
so pissed that I benched him in fantasy today, oh well, i’ll take a mets win over fantasy points any day.
I got Ollie and Wang on my teams. I dont care about Wang’s stats as long as mets win
Does there always have to be a negative comment? Enjoy the winning, and stop nitpicking. When they play poorly you can criticize. They’ve pitched, hit, and played very well defensively. Save that negativity for the Yankees.
well said!!!!! well said!!!!! (clap;clap)
now let’s get this “W”
congrads to ollie! only a month and half into the season and you already pitched your first 7th inning outing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
negativity aside, he WAS gr8- now please hold the lead and lets go mets!
I agree, I was ready to rip him apart in this game, but he was great.
