Let’s Go Mets!
oliver perez is incompetent, and I dont feel like scrolling down to express this FACT, not opinion. That is all, goodnight.
Looks like there were no adverse effects on the plane for Churchie.
I’m glad to see Church behind Beltran.
Am I the only one happy that the Rickey Henderson guy didn’t respond first?
i’m extremely happy about it
most immature thing ever
This lineup looks sooooo much better than a few games ago
viva los mets!!!!!
Mike,
You got yesterdays game headlined!
The Mets (27-27) look to win their four-game series versus Dodgers (27-28) tonight at Shea Stadium, starting at 8:05 pm EST.
Sorry! It’s been corrected.
very excited about this road trip..
LETS
GO
METS!!!!!
SMOKE THESE BUMBS!!!
There are two b’s in bums now?
actually there always were… you know, like numb?
duh
LOL Sorry. Wrong. Pick up a dictionary or check it out on an online dictionary.
Main Entry: bum
Function: noun
Etymology: probably short for bummer
Date: 1864
1 a: one who sponges off others and avoids work b: one who performs a function poorly [called the umpire a bum] c: one whose time is devoted to a recreational activity [a beach bum] [ski bums]
2: vagrant, itinerant drunkard
“on the bum”: with no settled residence or means of support
You guys don’t sound like chumbs–what’s up?
That lineup makes me smile. Castro was a good call by Willie. Schneider probably is happy, but I’ve got no problem giving him a rest after a rough flight (especially when a LHP is on the mound).
nice lineup tonight. LETS GO METS!
versis?
Fingers crossed for the ‘lights out’ Ollie tonight……
He gotta keep the walks under control.
And, crap, the Phillies just beat the Reds 5-4 with Utley hitting a his 21st HR and made a couple excellent plays in the field – the second to end the game. Harry Callis was going crazy. F him.
LET’S GO METS!
Wow. With the lefty Sanchez pitching tonight, Delgado is moved down to 7th with Schneider hitting behind him.
My how the mighty have fallen.
Sanchez looks tired
Why is delgado in the lineup against a lefty?
probably because he will sit against Zito tomorrow.
and probably because he publicly threatened to be a problem if he was platooned. Willie is back, Bill R. would put up with that ish.
Jorge Sosa is currently pitching against the Zephers for the Astros AAA team. He was brought in to relieve down 7-1.
He’s not even good enough to be anything more than the Astros AAA mop up man, and he was in the Mets pen for 6 weeks. Ouch babe…
and john smoltz blows his first save opportunity!!!!!!!
beat me to it
Its against the Marlins, this is not a good thing…
go…. Bra… nah, cant do it…
in the long run, i fear the braves much more than the marlins. i want to see the marlins win this one
Smoltz blew his first save opportunity
I’m much happier with this lineup but I’d still like to see Castro batting at least ahead of Delgado. He kills lefties…
Let’s keep it goin’!!!
Off topic: In a 5-5 game in the eight inning, Girardi brings in Farnsworth who promptly gives up a run. This Joba thing is going to get Cashman fired.
I still root for Carlos Gomez who still has no idea how to hit a breaking ball but the kid looks good in Minnesota.
“I like it when he gets the uniform dirty,” Randolph said. “He’s uniform has been pretty clean for a while.”
Thats bill r bashing delcrapo… KEEP IT COMIN WILLIE!!!!
He is a BUMB!!!!!
BUMB – is that the new ‘BUM’?
Just trying to keep up……..
I tried correcting himearlier…he refuses to learn.
“Booooo,” see above for the dictionary entry.
kind of hilarious that we are buzzing about how to spell “bum.”
sign of the times?
The Phillies hit 3 more homers tonight to beat the Reds 5-3.
They left 8 on base, their starter failed to go 6, and they still won.
*5-4
I’m pumped Up Baby… Let’s Go Mets…
I predict a Carlos DelgaDo Bomb to the SF Bay… Let’s Go Big Papi Delgado….
Braves tied it. 1st and 3rd one out
escobar just hit a walkoff.
I hate them.
I hope Bill R. made the flight out west, the dude has this team on a serious roll
Hideko Okijima notched his 5th blown save of the season giving up a 4 run inning to cost the Sox another road game.
reyes looked sleepy in that pregame interview…
Get the boy some caffeine. Need him to keep his hitting streak and consecutive games on streak alive…..
What do you expect, ESPN completely f#cked them with their 8PM start time last night
holy crap – hamilton has 65 RBI!
Breaking News: Chase Utley Just Broke Barry Bonds’ Home Run Record.
i think he doubled it, actually.
and he has more homers than the mets combined
braves win… damn
Marlins lose….YES!
Castro is going to be tested tonight. San Fran likes to run.
Anyone else watching this with the San Francisco announcers? These guys are putting me to sleep already.
yes….another team of announcers that cant hold a candle to Gary, Ron, and Keith.
No, thank God. One night of ESPN non ‘Gary, Keith, Ron’ announcers were enough for me. I’m one of the lucky ones in the SNY market.
yeah, these guys are horrible!
wierd camera angle tongiht…kind of like in the new washington park….tonight it is zoomed in much more than usual
Anyone else watching with mlb.tv where it’s cut out occasionally for no reason? Might just be my router.
Well, this is going to be an interesting game with each team pitching Oliver Perez.
good one…
expecially if its a tight strike zone and a very late strike call by the ump.
Just thinking that very same thing when they were giving Sanchez’s stats. Who implodes first? Not looking good for Sanchez right now….
Perez.
he’s actually more like a combo of pelfrey and perez – walks everyone, but only with 2 outs.
…only to throw a nasty pitch on the outside corner with the bases loaded. At least they got Oliver Sanchez to up his pitch count.
Sanchez needs to help
LETS GO METS!!!!
expect perez to have issues tonight, k zone looks rough
i guess that pitched was TOO MUCH of a strike, hey tatis?
great pitch, but you gotta swing at that
oh god its ollie time
i hate when players strike out looking.. hey, i can do that!!!
Tatis, right down the middle of the plate. look alive out there!
HEY its a big ballpark and a weak lineup. If ollie cant do it tonight, he cant do it anywhere.
San Francisco: if you can’t make it there, you can’t make it anywhere.
You have got to be kidding me….
Meant the above to be a separate comment regarding the HOME RUN he just gave up.
……
winn leading off and bengie hitting cleanup. the giants lineup is atrocious.
good call.
wow th egiants lineup is absolutely DISGUSTING!!! If perez walks these guys, he needs to be beat down.
he’s awful. i hate him.
i hate perez
Everybody in the stands is wearing a sweatshirt and/or coat. That should bode well for Pedro’s hammy tomorrow night.
good start, looks like ill be in bed early tonight, maybe 10pm EST starts wont be too bad this week lol
oh god… i am really sick of perez..
can everyone see now why the PIRATES!!!!! could care less about trading him???
Ollie=Einstein…
How many Nook Laloosh’s does this team have to have?
OH, *that* Perez. Sigh.
Here we go
ughhhh
no excuse for perez…he flew out yesterday before the mets game even started. GROSS
Ollie will walk 5, give up two homers. …and win 6-4
Game Over. Get rid of Perez now.
games not over, but oliver will try his hardest to blow this game for the mets
In the words of Popeye: “Blow me . . . . . down.”
the shine is definitely off this sht head
guess we are getting “this” ollie tonight, great!
why tatis is batting ahead of castro is beyond me. i mean, just look at their numbers. makes no sense
what’s with the homerun horn? What is this, an NHL game?
Randy Winn looks like that Black Guy from Mad TV…
Philly already won boys
He’ll settle in
nevermind
Ollie and Pedro both flew out early yesterday. i was hoping together and that pedro would take him under his wing on the flight and coach him up and try to teach Ollie something. But I dont Ollie is able to pay even PEDRO any attention.
get darren oliver ready….oh wait
O.K. – so leaving bases loaded and 3 on in the top of the inning is looking large right now….
How a guy throw a 6 inning 2 ER gem in game 7 of the nlcs against a team featuring Pujols and Roland and then gives up lead off home runs two years later to teams such as the dodgers and the giants? EWWW
Yea I like this Move by Willie… Play Razor Ramon against Lefties… Hey Yo…
chico?
Bad Ollie!
perez is a basetcase piece of crap.. he won 1 last yar because of the team, not him.. he really sucks. hes a th starter in the AL
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDIDNG ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And your login name says it all right now…..
2-0 after four batters….sweet
the mets have two guys in perez and heilman who are momentum killers… you just hate to see these goons pitch in important games
It’s all over. Clap-Clap, CLAP-CLAP-CLAP.
told you guys they will not keep it up on the road.
he blows
Does anybody else hate hearing that woman PA announcer at AT&T Park. Can’t stand her voice.
Yes! Her voice just doesn’t belong to be near that microphone.
I do have a feeling she’s sexy though, haha.
Ah, vintage Oliver Perez. Love those early runs.
Sigh…
I just have a sense that OP doesn’t give a crap tonight…it’s windy, it’s cold, he’s tired, he could be playing video games, he could be watching TV, hmm is that a bird over there because I like birds, mmmm trolley cars, i like trolley cards, but it’s cold and i’m too tired to pitch…
Why would he be tired? He flew ahead of the team.
He always stinks against the Giants.
Bad bad Ollie!!!
Nate Robertson…
I’m just saying…
We better Score Alot of Runs Today… Perez is throwing MeatBalls…
Its the bubble gum. Make him spit it OUT!!!!
this giants lineup is pathetic.
ominous feelings when we play these 10 pm games. they never seem to go well
The worst part of all this? We need to listen to the little puppy all day tomorrow about how the giants beat up on Oliver Perez. I can hear it now, “oh boy, that oliver perez, what a pitcher he is huh Mikey? Say something funny Mike!” I think I won’t be tuning in tomorrow.
that high and outside fastball that ollie throws might be the most frustrating pitch you will ever see.
“rich aurillia is a blue-collar worker”- keith
How can Boras possibly defend this guy?
can we get xavier nady back?
If Ollie continues to pitch terribly that trade will look horrible for the Mets
Why aren’t they waiting to start Pedro in San Diego where the weather is in the 70’s? The fact that I’ve already seen two guys wearing winter hats does not sit well for a guy in his 40’s coming off a hamstring injury. Just sayin’.
RICK PEDRSEN YOU SUCK TOO!!!!
Perez, pelfrey, heilman..
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?????
PeTerson. Not Pederson.
He really should just smack Ollie upside his head when he gets in these funks.
UGH. Get the hook!
I’ll be interested to see who the LONG MAN is today, once ollie is pulled after about an inning.
If its Vargas, then we may see who willie has decided leaves the rotation with Pedro returning.
Good call, Straw.
Gary – ‘Perez is just all over the place tonight’.
Wish I had a dime for every start of his we’ve heard that….
an 0-2 count turns into 3-2…
and then a walk….
and it ends as a walk
at least its a late start, so I can sleep by the 4th inning.
I’ve been telling you guys this but Perez would be great trade bait.
Many of you hope that Perez will find himself but this is what Ollie is. He will pitch great one day, and then terribly the next. But right now he is not pitching well at all. He is 26 years old now and the Mets cannot afford for him to go out there and only last for a short time.
The Mets can package Ollie with Heilman and probably get something extremely useful in return. The Mets could just replace Heilman by by keeping both Vargas and Pelfrey in the rotation. I’d rather take my chances with Pelf who can actually last for a long time. Or the Mets can bring up Armas Jr. to take the spot.
Losing Heilman and Perez is a win win for the Mets.
+1
Cohen, why isn’t Oliver Perez an option to be removed from the rotation? Pelfrey and Vargas are better than him so why should Ollie keep getting chances.
Oliver Perez is this years Guillermo Mota.
I hope Wagner makes Ollie cry.
Oliver Perez will be outpitched by Jonathan Sanchez, incredible.
I’m confused.
Shouldn’t the pitcher be the most rested and the one with energy during their current schedule??
I think the Mets needed a lead to work with today, so good job Perez thus far.
at this rate Perez might be worth a 1 year/4 million deal.
you’re right, another great decision by Boras, you have a pitcher like Perez who is so inconsistent, and you don’t look him up, Perez is awful, the scary is so dumb looking too
a question for the ages:
bigger headcase: armando benitez or oliver perez
No one is a bigger headcase than Oliver Perez. No one.
Giants came to play ball… Mets better match their INtensity or it could get ugly real Quick… Let’s Go MEts…
pedersen should slap him in the face and say ‘ You are going to et me firedyou little bich!!!”
good night
my thoughts exactly
Get Claudio Vargas up in the pen!
He’s already pitched well on 3 days rest and he might be leaving tomorrow anyway. Get him in there!
thank you Bill R. :)
You can’t even get mad at O’Pea at this point. It’s like when a puppy pees on the carpet: you know it’s going to happen at some point.
Pulled before he’s out of the first.
ARE YOU FUKING KIDDING ME PEREZ?????????????????????
goodnight.
hes makin this team ook like the NY Giants of Mays,etc
hit or miss OP is def a miss tonight, looks like BP out there, down 4-nil, cmon now
Check Please….
Way to show up Ollie. Looks like I will get to bed at a reasonable time tonight after all.
Exactly! Great job Ollie. Atleast I’ll be well rested to watch Pedro manana.
i don’t know who i hate more. perez, or me for being dumb enough to buy his jersey
lmao!
Oliver Perez has made this lineup look like the ‘27 Yankees. Get him out now.
lets hope wags sticks it to OP again for not givin the team any length tonight
Perez can walk after this season for all I care
Yea i’m sick of it. He pitches when he wants to. WILLIE GET HIM OUT OF THE GAME NOW!!
maybe Ollie wasn’t the best guy to send off by himself and do some thinking. At least he made it an easy decision whether to stay up..
night.
Can we just send Perez down when Pedro comes back?
i hate this guy.. i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him
Why the hell isn’t anybody warming UP>……. Come on Take this bum out…. DAmmmmmn..
Vargas has been up, idiot.
well that about does it. if he pitches in the 2nd inning it would be a HUGE mistake
Oh no, it’s Evil Ollie.
Scott Boras is having a heart attack right now watching the money go down the drain.
Delgado would be a leader in my eyes if he just went over to OP and coldcocked him. Put him and us out of our misery.
+5
PEREZ IS AWFUL
FORGET IT
It sucks when this happens, kills any momentum the team has. Perez looks horrible out there.
Thanks Ollie.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! PEACE OLLIE YOU BUM!
OMG Ollie please rot in hell.
is this a goddamn joke? perez is a loser
well, lets hope we win tomorrow…
i cant believe this guy put perez in the bullpen for mop up duties can they call a time out now oh it baseball
puctuation is your friend…
Jesus!! Is this a replay of batting practice or the real game?
this no name team has just won game 1 of the series, never has hit more than 2 HRs in ANY F’N SEASON!!!!!
vargas time baby
maybe they should put Oliver Perez in the bullpen instead of Vargas. Let him “clear his head” for a little while too.
Send him down, keep Pelfrey up
Oliver perez is awful, time to think of plan B , maybe Vargas and Pelfrey should be kept in the rotation, Perez is awful, and dumb, look at that look on his face, blank
You have REALLY got to be kidding me, Ollie….
Don’t take this clown out, make him throw 300 pitches if need be
Amen.
I agree – make him pitch. Make him suffer for being so ill-prepared.
Can we at least plunk Aaron Rowand and get something out of this game.
Is Perez out of options…maybe hes the one who needs to go down.
yea, he has the right to refuse.
they could DL him like the Yankees did with Hughes and send him A ball to “rehab” his head.
Can’t wait for the idiotic team to pay this loser $12M a year in the off-season. We’ll enjoy the two draft picks.
The Mets are down six runs. If they can manage to win this game I will forget about The Collapse.
“Oliver Perez’ world has come crashing down…”
How often have we heard that? He has a pitching IQ of -4. He’s a gutless dunce.
i want to see ollie give up a home run to the pitcher. if anyone would do it, it would be him. this guy sucks.
Who let the mental patient pitch….
Perez Electric Stuff??????? Giant’s are PUnking this Punk…
The curse of Gary Cohen lives.
Scott Boras must be drinking heavily about now. Ollie is costing him plenty
something tells me boras isn’t counting on ollie to feed his family.
couldn’t happen to a better person
bizarro ollie. again.
there goes the type ‘a’ free agent status along with the high draft pick and sandwich pick to the mets in the off-season.
hopefully he’ll settle down so the entire bullpen doesn’t need to be used with pedro coming back tomorrow.
I was going to blame the Mets for blowing their first inning opportunity, but clearly Perez wasn’t going to give them any chance of winning either way
Ugh Russo is going to be intolerable tomorrow.
Anyways, as the old addage goes:
In baseball, momentum is the next day’s starting pitcher.
couldnt he just give up that homer and then set them aside. let this game actually mean something. 1-0 is not a big deal.
but 6-0. are you fuking kidding me perez? you are a joke. rot in hell
Nope. I he did that they could have PH for him.
Now Vargas will bat 3rd upon entering the game.
its still the first inning and we are playing the giants. Ollie sucks dick and cant wait til he isnt on the team next year, but we have the fire power. Dont stop believing that we cant come back after the what we have down the last couple weeks. All and all ollie is a hoe bag
I agree… it will be a huge relief to rid ourselves of Perez
Kill me. Kill me now. OP has to go. He’s a momentum killer and a head case.
MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!
Oh well. Time to go watch professional wrestling.
In parting, may I suggest that Willie just let Perez now pitch through the 6th inning no matter what. We’re losing this game anyhow.
Thank you ESPN.
well I guess I don’t have to worry about staying up late for this one. uugh…
I am really sick of Perez…. I can’t stand a pitcher you can’t depend on.
yeah, perez is a good pitcher. and to think that he’s our #2 guy. Hahahahahahaha! truthfully he should not even be in the mets rotation, but if he is, he honestly should be the #5 guy.
Yea Willie needs to re-work the rotation.
It should be:
Santana
Pedro
Maine
Perez
Pelfrey
You could swap in Vargas for either one of the bottom two instead.
sign ron darling. at least he can control where the hell his pitches go….ollie is pathetic.
maybe the Yankees will take Perez for Duncan.
Or outright release this bum.
Only good thing is Boras is probably sweating in his pants.
one time thru the lineup and hes only gotten 1 guy out
i really dont even kno any of these guys
and still just 1 out, why is this guy still in the game?
Good effort Ollie
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
seriously, leave Perez in the game, f^%k him, let him embarrass himself
traded him
this just in- Oliver Perez’s ERA is now 5.70
is there any reason he shouldn’t get the steve trachsel treatment and be sent to the minors?
He’d say no and they would get nothing for him. You can usually get something for a lefty, even when they suck
GUTLESS
this was DISGUSTING.
good God.
Good thing he won his arbitration case. He really earned that money tonight.
jesus 1/3 of an inning, this guy is the opposite of light out—-lights on!
You can’t have as bad a start as Oliver Perez just had ….
See Glavine, Tom.
Glavine-esque!
I’m no Big Fan of Glavine ,but Don’t compare this Bum to 2 Time Cy Young Award winner who has 300 + career wins… Ollie fuggin Sucks…
ONE THIRD OF AN INNING! THATS IT! I hope Wagner kicks Oliver Perez’s family jewels. There goes all of the Mets momentum.
Well, Ollie made my decision easy. It’s gonna be an early night. I hope I read about a wonderful comeback tomorrow morning, but for now I’m gonna file this one under loss.
That’s why I never pay for tickets when Perez starts
Hey Ollie…. F U….
Good I can go to bed early. I hate you Ollie.
Boooooooooooooooooooo!
Head case!
This game doesn’t count.
How much sleep did the Mets get? What time did they even get into their hotel?
Perez has been there since yesterday. This has nothing to do with anyone but Perez.
Yeah, that must be it. Except Perez got there early. Any other excuses?
Perez left yesterday morning.
Perez had a whole extra day.
He flew in the day before!
NO EXCUSE for such a horrible pitching performance.
Dude, pay attention. Ollie and Pedro flew out a day early (as is common with such tight travel times and long distances).
This is all on him so far and he had a good night’s sleep.
Then again, I’m still trying to figure out why “this game doesn’t count”…
Oh, because to this guy only the wins count. That’s why.
….so guys, first inning – what I miss? Did OP sit ‘em down 1-2-3?
If we resign him, I will go CRAZY. They guy is seriously Jekyll and Hyde. I’ve never seen anyone with the skills to throw a no hitter and give up 10 runs in the first inning. In back to back starts.
At this point, why not leave him in? The game is already over and now we have to use Vargas.
Thanks OP you f’ing hack!!!!
Ollie auditioning for the role of Tom Glavine in The Mets Stab Me Through The !#@$ Heart.
and this dumb team giving him pats on the as$, someone should just go up to him and say- “way to go you piece of sht” its not like this guy is some cy young winner who had one bad outing- he’s been pulling this kind of crap all season
ollie perez’s thoughts right now: “is hannah montana on?”
At least Perez did better than Glavine last september…
I don’t get all of this Ollie hatred: it’s obvious he’s just doing his best Tom Glavine impression, and I say kudos to him, he’s really doing a bang-up job.
As soon as Johan stops a slide Perez starts a new one.
this game was over when randy winn hit a leadoff homrun. does anyone know if perez has options? claudio vargas and pelfrey deserve to stay in the big leagues over him
Which is worse, the Glavine game from the end of last year or Ollie Perez today
last year’s game x123929348298429342
Glavine’s game. Only b/c it was the last Met game we all would be seeing until the 2008 season. At least tonight, they can pick up and go on….
Glavine. Without a doubt. Expectations and consequences were way higher. We’ve grown to expect this from Ollie
that can’t even be a serious question? Tom Glavine’s game might have been the single worst performance in MLB history. It’s the baseball equivalent of Tony Eason’s SB in 1985. A HOF pitcher in the last game of the season with a Division crown on the line and the guy can’t even get 2 outs?
Nothing, NOTHING, can compare to that, especially not a mid-season game between two 4th place teams.
Now I am going to have to hear Gary Cohen bitch and moan about the travel…… I don’t want to hear how tough it is to fly first class and get 10 hours of sleep to play a baseball game.
I have worked midnight to 8 and then had to be back into work at noon, so I don’t want to hear about how the Mets “dragged into San Francisco.”
YOur 100 percent right… These MLB players are pampered like Kings and have no excuse for this Nonsense… Ollie just plain sucks… No confidence in this guy…
The travel schedule stinks….but Ollie flew out a day early with Pedro…so no excuses (other than Ollie’s mental poblems).
BTW, a redeye, even in First Class stinks.
I find Cohen extremely annoying to listen to on a nightly basis. Fortunately, with the Extra Innings package I don’t have to hear him each and every night. I’d take Howie over him anytime.
At least I will be awake at work tomorrow. This could be an ugly trip. The Mets never play well in SF and they usually stink in SD. Add that into the horrible schedule and things could get ugly fast. To think Ollie was sent out early. UGH
2-5 road trip sounds right
Also, Ollie got destroyed by the Giants last year. Has bad numbers against them. Wonder what it is.
maybe the same problem Penny has with us?
the hall of fame lineup.
Honestly, with the late night flight after last night’s game, I really didn’t count on us winning tonight.
Now, we just need to mentally let go of this game and win the series from the Giants.
It’s all about winning series.
And, don’t worry. Rick Peterson will fix him in 5 minutes.
dude you don’t find it said that we have to throw in the towel for this game by the top of the second inning?
I don’t wanna hear this crap about the late flight. Let’s say at the worst they all got to bed at 6AM EST, they still have the opportunity to get 10 hours of sleep TO PLAY A BASBALL GAME. It is not like they got four hours of sleep and have to dig ditches.
No toughness…
Not that. Just Ollie kinda sucks right now.
might as well start giving your regulars some rest (wright, reyes, beltran, church, and maybe even castillo if there are enough bench players)
that’s why i still don’t believe in this team
Yeah, just give up on this game in the first inning. That’s the way to go.
That guy who grounded out should be embarrassed
lmao…jeez can Perez atleast retire the pitcher? we need to get rid of this clown…him and heilman should be traded, enough already
In 06 it was Traschel, in 07 it was Glavine and in 08 it’s Perez. I couldn’t wait for the other two to be gone and I can’t wait for Perez to be gone next year. I hope Vargas can settle in. Maybe we can chip away at this lead.
The Mets are paying this schitzo 6 million to get one out?!!?!!
He’s meticulous with his eyebrows but how about getting your pitches to find the strike zone!!!!
highlight of the night so far…keith talkin abt #7 looking weird on a SS in ref. to the SF SS….does he think jose looks weird wearing it too?
One pitch by Vargas, one out.
The good thing is it’s still early and Sanchez is Oliver Perez light.
Hey. Wouldn’t it be a kick if we came back and won!
Against this pitcher, it can be done if the Mets stay focused.
There is no way that Bora$ can look himself in the mirror and demand anything more than $5 millon/year for this guy. Talent is overrated. The guy’s got no brains, no guts, no savvy…he’s a joke in 70% of his starts and lucky during the other 30%. “Effectively Wild”? What an overrated compliment….
Well, if they can hold them here….Cubs were down 9-1 the other day…..
This is why I picked tues and wed games to attend. Last time Perez was in SF, he had a no-hitter through 4 and gave up 8 runs in the 5th. terrible to sit through perez.
to be completely honest, I’m almost glad: this crap caused me to turn on the Stanley Cup just in time to watch the Pens send it into OT with 44 seconds left. Nothing better than an elimination Stanley Cup OT game. Even if you’re not a hockey fan, I’d recommend watching it: much better than watching the Bad Ollie pitch.
what channel?
NBC
1. better fit wagner with the hannibal lecter mask after the game
2. put ollie in the bullpen with pedro back. punish him. let him back in the rotation after a month.
as bad as that was, what really pisses me off is that Perez did his jaunty hop-skip-jump over the foul line on his way to the showers.
No he didn’t, did he?
yes…like he had just struck out the side…i almost threw up
hey why don’t they put heilman in there and make this look even more ridiculous.
because were losing and it not a pressure situation
New Rotation OFFICIALLY:
Johan
Pedro
Maine
Vargas
Pelfrey
Eh, I kinda prefer:
Johan
Pedro
Maine
Vargas
Forfeit
I guess I could stomach Pelfrey if Pedro gets injured again. Also it’d look pretty silly with 2 scheduled forfeits every 5 games…
why are they letting him drink our gatorade!!!!
SEND HIM BACK TO NY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes i agree send him to the waiver wire
send ollie down!?!?!?! ha im sure thats NEVER going to happen, isnt he past the point in his career where he can just be “sent down”
dude, his ERA is approaching 6. he is one of the worst starting pitchers in the MLB.
do you even care anymore if they lose him for good?
“randy winn homered to start this carnage”
well said, gary, well said
300 comments before the 1st inning ends- you know only ollie could have pitched
Is the runner at first really important at this point?
demote perez – he still has options?
You don’t want to do that. That is just stupid. You let him pitch out the year and hopefully he’ll end it with about 10-13 wins and a 4.50 ERA which should be good enough to make him a Type A free agent. Then we get two draft picks for him (like we got for Glavine) and let him ride off into the sunset. Go Ollie!
Santana one night followed by Perez the next. It follows the old saying about going from the Pent-House to the Out-House. Seriously we are starting to see the Perez they saw in Pittsburgh and it can be ugly.
Yuck. Good thing I wasn’t watching.
This has all the earmrks of the offense just deflated (after a late night and long flight) and just going quietly. For that reason, I would have told Ollie he is pitching 5 inings no matter how bad the score was, and to suck it up.
Now I guess the pen will be toast.
Of course, the best thing is to pitch the guy losing his job for Pedro as long as possible, right?
I don’t know if Perez is mentally retarded, but he treading really close to the line
if he’s not retarded, he’s definitely ADD…
…at least he can go check out the seals and trolley cars which he was thinking of on the mound.
i hope the mets can come back but the way it looked in the top of the first no being able to capitalize on the bases loaded im not sure they can
They’ll mail it in now and head back to the Four Seasons for room service and regroup for Pedro
Its Trade Proposal TIME!
Trade Heilman, Perez, and $4.8 MM to the Tampa Bay Rays for Jason Hammel.
I’d trade Perez for a cardboard cutout of Hammel at this point
perhaps some hormel canned goods
Does anyone know where Oliver Perez lives? I’d like to send him a get well card.
be great if vargas came in and threw 8 2/3 hitless baseball and mets win 7-6
Ha. Gives me a good dream for the night.
they should trade perez to the yankees…..
The Yankees would be willing to eat up all of Perez’s contract. I do not give a dam if Perez turns into an ace for the Yanks, GET HIM OF THIS TEAM.
The Mets could probably get an Alberto Gonzalez for Perez.
Man, just send Perez to the Yankees for a double a prospect or something. I do not care about Perez anymore. I want to see Jon Niese pitch up here instead of Perez.
It’s way too early in this game to count us out. Our offense has been clicking and SF is not a good team. Let’s hang in there.
mets haven’t come back from a 3 run deficit all year
Their pitching is actually pretty good, it’s their anemic offense which just anally raped Perez that’s been the cause of them losing.
I’ll jump on that band wagon. I’d better not be staying up late and losing sleep to watch some 10 run game blowout with the Mets scratching out 3 hits……
Where’s my Voodoo doll ???
All this does is show how important Pedro’s comeback is
Julio Franco is now on as an analyst on Baseball Tonight. :D
Julio Franco doesn’t look Homo Sapien… I swear he’s more like Cro Magnan…
omg im watching it and i swear i just want to punch him in the face
Why would you hire a guy for TV that can barely speak the language?
how come every player hits there first ml hr against the mets?
because we’re the mets. duh.
Saw Tatis strike out. Went to take shower. Came back and saw the score. Went to take another shower.
Ollie Deserves to be WaterBoarded… Send Him to Guantanamo Bay….
way to just totally take the momentum way ollie. i said to myself, no way it could as bad as the start last year (i think it was then). i could not be any more wrong.
finally, things were looking up. there was a chance to carry that to this trip. while they may still have a good trip, it just got a lot harder. who knows what pedro will have tomorrow?
i usually stay up for these games, killing myself for the nexy day, but tonight i will pass and hope for a miracle when i check the score in the morning.
let’s go mets! score me a miracle.
I don’t consider this a momentum setback, just a blip from a pitcher with downs syndrome
This sucks!
the sad thing is that we’re used to watching the mets cash it in after being down 7-3 in the ninth inning
now, we have to watch 8 innings of groundouts, popups and strikeouts
Sanchez’s line- 7.1 IP, 2 ER
What a buzzkill…
Oliver Perez is the most worthless pitcher in all of baseball. We should send him down instead of Vargas.
look at the bright side….we get to listen to guiseppe franco. maybe perez was thinking how he was going to get a haircut at guiseppes
Ollie flew in early? Well, duh. I’m an idiot.
He just sucks in SF. Inconsistent or not, he’s still been okay this year. Not good, and I’m not saying we should necessarily resign him, but he hasn’t lost his spot in the rotation yet.
He probably got to the team hotel later than the team flew in anyway. That SF nightlife is too enticing for some…
after seeing the yanks and their current troubles, and considering they have the money to extend him, i really think he should be traded
And, now the pen will be burned for Pedro’s 4 and 2/3 innings performance tomorrow…
delgado is seeing the ball a lot better
Why would they send Muniz down? I was impressed by him
options
Vargas has options
Vargas does not have options..why do you think the brewers lost him?
options and they dont trust him in big spots like they do with Heilman… for some reason.
how about the mets sign guiseppe franco
no way the mets offer more than a two year deal after the season
Let’s get at least one back here.
top of 2nd and its ALREADY 11pm here in NJ…oh boy by delgado to start off the inning
hey omar, want to make a splash? waive oliver.
TRADE HIM
its official- nobody can look at the oliver perez/roberto hernandez for nady trade and say it went the mets’ way
Ollie will be a type A at the end of this year (glavine was) and we will get two picks for him. That has tremendous value.
And also, do the 06 playoffs (where he almost pitched us into a world series) and the entire 07 season (15 wins, 3.56 ERA) not count for you? Relax you guys.
I agree with Jose.
Thanks dude.
leadoff double will of course be wasted
there goes the chance for the run
Now we get a “limited” Pedro tomorrow with no safety net (Vargas) and probably not much of a pen by the time this is over… I hope they hold back Pelfrey’s throw day for during the game tomorrow.
The Zephers best two starters, Armas and Figueroa just starter today and yesterday, so they are out as options.
Kunz had pitched three days in a row before being off today.
Tim McNab might be the likely option if they need a fresh arm.
you think the Yankees would trade us Ian kennedy for OP. How about OP and Heilman?
i dont want kennedy
kennedy is young and could still be very good.
Kennedy sucks.
Kennedy is an a hole and sux. i hate his attitude.
What is w/ all the assinine Yankee-Met trade proposals on here. They aren’t going to make a trade w/ each other. Is the only reason these people propose these is b/c they haven’t watched a game all season that didn’t involve the Yankees or Mets? Do you only know the players that are on those two teams?
I’ve put this game in my picture-in-picture on my tv so I can watch Pittsburgh get their hearts broken in OT.
Stranger things have happened in baseball. For some strange reason I have this feeling vargas is going to shut down the Giants and the Mets will slowly get back into this game.
The Mets missed the boat on trading Ollie and getting something decent in return. The longer they keep sending him out there to pitch the lower his trade value becomes.
we can trade him to giuseppe franco for 90 days worth of procede..
AS long as gary busey comes with it
Guys, how about Oliver Perez and cash considerations to the Orioles of Alex Cintron?
What would the Orioles want Perez for??? He is a free agent
eerily similar starts by ollie tonight and one tom glavine, game 162
ZITO vs PEDRO tomorrow..
theres somethign to look forward too!!!
That and joba the hut getting shelled for nyy
WEe saw the mets came back from 1 run 2 run deficit the past week, 6 is a huge hole to dig for yourself. If they can come back from this, then this is a team with playoff potential.
jose is the bright spot
That one.
*That’s
slowly coming back….
chip away baby
nice job, reyes. great back into this game.
Little by little…………………………… you’ll be surprised tomorrow morning.
There isn’t a reason in the world why the Mets can’t still come back and win this game. That’s why I was so ticked off at the “this game doesn’t count” comment, besides it being a ridiculous comment anyway unless it was meant to be a joke.
But they can certainly still win this one. Then again, I’m not completely convinced yet that this team isn’t what their record as of right now says they are. They’ve played better baseball, had a couple of good series in a row, but come on… We really do need to see more.
I agree completely, this offense is more than capable of putting up 6 runs. They just haven’t shown it yet.
Jose jose jose jose….
There’s one.
baby steps.
yea jose
sanchez= OP light
haha great point
I made that point 200 comments ago. PAY ATTENTION. I’ve seen this guy pitch in the minors. He is very inconsistent. He’s still learning on the go.
that’s one! haha!
Way to go JOse baby…
we are going to win this game..
are u a giant fan?
no, he’s a Giants player… apparently
I think Ollie is the worst starter we have. Since last year, he’s either been incredible or complete garbage. Too unpredictable in the rotation, or in this years case, awfully predictable.
Castillo hits a bomb here from the right side. we are back in it.
if its out of reach by the 6th, then heilman should go at least 3, in order to save the pen
vargas needs to go 5
biggest indicator of a potential comeback = perez is out of this game
we need a castillo walk and a wright dinger
thats if….
This game is not over.
that catch just took any gas out of our momentum
Man its a shame that ollie let up those 6 runs. Sanchez doesnt exactly look great out there.
I’m sticking with this game. I have little confidence they can come all the way back, but I think it will be a fun rest of the game. They now have the fight to actually make a valiant try to come back.
winn closes eyes and stick out glove, oh look i caught a baseball
So what is Luis now? 0 for his 7?
that’s one run…chip away, chip away
How are you down 5 runs and looking at a 3-1 fastball right down the pipe?
The key is for Vargas to hold down the Giants.
Yeah, but the bigger key was for Ollie not to suck so much.
i still get annoyed by castillo trying to draw a walk….drive in the RUN man!
why does castillo always look at strike 1 and 2 when it is 3-0.. then he is forced to swing at anything close..
3-1 is the bst pitch you are going to get luis..
SWING!!!
Because in his mind he thinks a walk is better than a hit!
Cohen please stop whining about the Mets getting into town at 5:30 it’s so annoying. They flew first class and they are playing a baseball game.
+2
I know right WTF Gary Cohen… These guys are making millions of dollars sleeping in 5 star hotels and flying First class… Life isn’t Hard for these Guys… Geeez Cohen is pissing me off…. Fire Cohen and get Timmy Mccarver Back to the Mets….
Have you ever done a transcon redeye in what passes for first class on domestic airlines? It stinks. I have trouble doing my job the next da (maybe two) and I don’t have to perform at the level of a pro athlete.
Also, I believe they charter Delta flights – no way the whole team is fitting in FC.
That said, no excuse for Ollie since he flew out early.
Yeah, it is a little annoying considering the money most make and the fact that they’re not jammed in like sardines on a packed red-eye, having your first flight canceled, getting the last seat in the back row on standby on the next, between two large men, and having your suitcase not make it with you – and having 4 hours to make a business meeting with no clothes.
Been there, done that, wore the tee shirt.
Come on, Kevin – these guys do not know what ‘rough’ is…..
Now Burkhardt is complaining about it.
I would like to see these guys work a double and then get 5 hours of sleep and work the next day.
These Guys Need to get some BUDS Navy SEal training and stop whinning like little Women…
I fuggin Hate that biitch Rany Winn who looks like that Black guy from Mad TV… Randy Winn should get friggin beaned in the HEAD….
Dude, shut up…
you shut up….
“i am the rickey henderson of this post’s responses
damn, im not
i cant stand this team. one day i think the world is perfect, and within twenty minutes i want the manager, gm, second baseman, and 40% of the rotation gone
LOL. Perfect definition of a .500 team.
no cause if a he get walked then david wright is up and can hit reyes and possibly castillo home. And cut the lead
does OP have any options…? can they send him down, get the Trax/Bobby Jones treatment? He’s probably not smart/dedicated enough for that to be a success but just curious…
The Yankees would trade for Oliver Perez. Alberto Gonzalez for Ollie straight up would work for me.
If Pedro proves to be healthy, and there is some actual possibility that Duque might reappear, I trade OP for a decent package if one could be had.
Of course, you all know that if he goes the yanks, he pitches a no hitter this year, right?
He has over 5 years of service time so he can opt to become a free agent instead of being sent down.
Of course, I cant imagine too many teams putting him right in their rotation anyway, so he would be in the minors one way or the other.
They can send him to the pen or find a way to put him on the DL and let him go to St. Lucie for a while.
that castillo at bat is why this mets team is a .500 team……he showed a little something, and then got hurt, and now is ice cold again….
OK, If Vargas shuts them down for a while, they can get right back in this.
Probably means he ends up in the pen though, and Muniz down, if Vargas goes deep.
if muniz is going down, which looks probable, then he needs to go two today
eh, its about the same as Figueroa’s long relief outing. It was just a session between starts.
I could see them bringing back Perez on short rest seeing as he barely threw at all.
Pedro tomorrow 6/3
Maine on Wed 6/4
Pelfrey on Thurs 6/5, or Perez if Pelfrey is sent down
Santana on Friday 6/6
Perez on Sat (or Vargas)
Pedro on Sun (or Pelfrey if he is just skipped)
just relax folks, the mets are coming around…
perez just sucks, nothing the team can do about that..
he is a head case piece of crap.. very gagne like right now.
he needs to be disciplined.. maybe have vargas steal a start or two..
either that or put glass in his big league chew… at least we would see some emotion when he cut his mouth
whew, i feared church sliding into the RF wall on that foul ball
enough abt the team being tired, charlie samuels is the real hero here, up all night getting theclub house ready
I honestly beleive anyone of us here on this blog could have done a better job than OP today.
yeah i wouldve only given up three runs before i hit by pitch the bases loaded, and was then taken out of the game.
If the Mets truly wanted to win they would get rid of Delgado, Perez, and Heilman.
Perfect. That’s my wish list also.
delgado and heilman are going to come back to life. you’ll see.
perez- little hope left. maybe he’s good every other year?
I still have a little faith in Delgado, but Heilman and OP have proven themselves again and again that they are not what we need if we want to win
think of it this way,
if we DO come back and win this game… what a win that would be!!!
if i won the lotto…
I just thought that exact thing………. would be a great way to start a road trip out west. F Ollie.
oh man the sny feed just went to a black screen, i was hoping it was soparnos-esque and it was all over
I thought they just had an earthquake
Nice, Ramon !
Razor Ramon… Hey Yo…
Big deal……..1000 hits
is there a ‘ catcher named molina’ cloning factory somehwere?
Theres a spanish great grandmother somewhere saying.. I knew sleeping with johnny bench was a good idea!!!
lol!
funny story- every position player on the giants has reached based safely
remember, the game is just 2 innings old
Wow it’s Bengi Molina’s 1000th hit. I hope that ball makes it to Cooperstown.
If not Cooperstown then at least to Miguel’s house.
man vargas looks good
he needs to stay up, send down some one else
Vargas looking decent.
The announcers are selling Vargas short. He has started well and gone ‘deep’ into his starts. And he has been fairly effective latter in those starts.
There is no reason he cant pitch 6 or 7 innings tonight unless they need to PH for him.
I don’t think they should send Vargas down and risk losing him. Not with the questions marks on the starting rotation and our boy Aaron in the bullpen…..
i’ll feel better of the mets chances if they can score some runs in this inning with the middle of the lineup coming up, but i fear that they’ll go down 1-2-3
So does this mean that Pelfrey remains in the rotation and either Vargas or Muniz will be send down to tomorrow to make room for Pedro????
Just a side note about Metsblog.com…… Does Val Pascucci have incriminating pitcures of the bloggers on this site? They all love this guy.
Fans like anybody with a funny name who hits homers.
I could care less. He is Rob Deer reincarnated and would strike out 2-3 times a game in the bigs.
I know Bill James, the A’s and Red Sox have reinvented how they look at players, but how in the world did Rob Deer type guys ever have such long careers?
I’ll take it
Looks like a single to me.
yea d wright! free base, who says you cant steal 1st
Good Omen.
people who have pissed me off this season to an extent where i need therapy:
aaron heilman
oliver perez
mike pelfrey
luis castillo
carlos delgado
jorge sosa
willie randolph
omar minaya
howard johnson
mr. met
cowbell-man
mrs. met
the usher at shea who blocked me from catching a pepsi t-shirt
you forgot Reyes, Beltran and all the FOX/ESPN announcers. BTW, what’s up with the hatin’ on Mrs. Met?
What is UP with Cohen and BucketHead Complaining about a late flight???? geeez these two need to go to BUDS NAVY Seal Training and stop whinning like little bitches… GEEZZZZ… BE a Friggin MAN…
It’s very annoying and the over/under for Cohen complaints about it is 13
WAAAHHH WE DIDNT GET ENOUGH SLEEP ON OUR FIRST CLASS FLIGHT WAAAAAHHHHHH
I can sympathize with being pissed at ESPN. You try hitting a 95 mph fastball after all night flight to the west coast.
yOU SHUT YOUR pie hole…. These Guys make millions of Dollars Sleep in 5 star Hotels and Bang Hottest Chics…… Life is not tough for MLB players…
Perez has an 7.56 ERA over his last 8 starts. He’s only pitched 38.1 innings and given up 32 earned runs (plus 5 unearned runs in his April 30th start). Only 2 of those games would qualify as quality starts. We were better off with Chan Ho Park and David Williams last year. What a joke.
no dp please
I could see them bringing back Perez on short rest seeing as he barely threw at all.
Pedro tomorrow 6/3
Maine on Wed 6/4
Pelfrey on Thurs 6/5, or Perez if Pelfrey is sent down
Santana on Friday 6/6
Perez on Sat (or Vargas/Pelfrey)
Pedro on Sun (or Vargas/Pelfrey if they dont want to bring Pedro back on normal rest
how about dont bring perez back at all…
but we arent in charge… RP is
How about Perez pitches Saturday in New Orleans??
This young pitcher can be rattled. Just get 2 more (pull within 3) and we can make a comeback.
Chip away fellas
great ab carlos, watch this kid k 4 this inning
Give Church a chance.
If wright scored afters triking out and reaching, is that an earned run? Was that a Wild Pitch or a Passed ball? Does that determination determine if its an earned run or not?
Keith and Gary are gay fashion designers
if you said that to my face you’d have a fat lip, tough guy.
isn’t sad that if a pitcher went 1 inning and gave up 16 runs, he would have a better ERA than perez
I thought Wright was jogging there but the replay proved me wrong
is the ump a giant or is tatis a midget?
The Umpire behind Home Plate is GReat Khali….
fernando tatis’ novelty is over for me
i want a three run homer from delgado right here
Delgado sucks
and i get a pop up on the first pitch
should i be surprised?
mets have already left 7 men on base after 3 times up
its 6, but 3 by Tatis and 2 by Delgado.
Nice hustle by Church and Tatis!!!!!!!!
ill take the 2nd gift of the inning, now make it hurt!!!!
We need a 3-run dinger here.
MIghty Hustle Baby…
good night..and the mets bats go to sleep
Gotta get another one here and make them pay for the lax fielding. Come on Delgado!
What the HELL DELGADO!?!?!?!?!?!?
Typical, Typical Delgado
How about we trade Perez, Heilman, and Delgado for some Popeye’s chicken?
what did everyone expect? come on don’t be fooled by a few wins at home….didn’t i hear perdo say that he would be a calming influence on perez?
why does complaining about Perez turn into venom once again being spewed against this entire team? Some of you are just soooo fickle, its unbelievable.
seriously. we’re going to lose games. granted, this one is ugly, but what really matters is the big picture.
Darkstar should be fired
ugh rally killer
If you were to bet on every Delgado at bat that he would pop up you would be killing the bookies by now!
i’m betting on met losses, maybe my bad luck helps them win a few
i think Rob Andrews should be the next best manager- AT LEAST HE’S NOT 91
Does Delgado want to have that talk with Willie now?
ryan church is an animal
Church = WOW
Wow. What a gun on Church.
Church is the man, plain and simple.
oh ok ryan church continues to be the king
Love Church! Need 2-3 more like him and Wright!
sorry ray, your not 26 anymore, dead to right at 2b
“church introduces his howitzer to durham”
What I don’t understand about this Lautenberg commercial is that he is 91 now. He apparently made fun of this chick who was 72 for being too old in 1982. So he would have been 66 which really isn’t that big of a difference.
no, he’ll be 91 at the end of this next term
I think you’re miss spelling his name, isn’t it Lousenberg?
I belive the ad is that he’d be 91 at the END of his next term (Senators serve for six years), making him now about 85, and making him about 59 in 1982.
He’s not even 91 now.
He’s 84.
I guess they’re talking about how old he’ll be at the end of his term.
Doesn’t really matter. You can’t beat Frank Lautenberg in New Jersey. The only time he didn’t serve was when he “retired”, and as soon as he decided to come back he won again.
And Church just keeps right on doing it all…..
Church has a cannon.
Maybe we should have Ryan Church pitch. He has a cannon that’s accurate!
I think he was drafted as a pitcher or used to pitch in college
He couldn’t be worse than Perez
man, ollie sucked today, but if you guys are going to act like this for every loss, even when we’ve gotten things turned around, its going to be a looooong season. You’re turning your complaining about Ollie into venom spewing against the entire team, stop being so knee-jerk and fickle, its embarassing.
This is not an isolated bad start for Perez. He has been painfully inconsistent all season.
that’s not the point, I seriously think some of you have reading comprehension problems, i’m not talking about Ollie, its as soon as we are losing, one thing goes bad, people just let it rip on the entire team, its like we never had that good stretch we just had.
Yes, mood nazi! We shall all be upbeat and happy if you decree it to be our correct mood!
1.) Most of the complaining has been about head-case Ollie, not the team writ-large.
2.) Turned it around? To a game over .500, 4th place, 4 games out? Wow…book the tickertape parade. They’ve turned it around!
hey, put words in my mouth all you want, but i’m not telling anyone to be in a good mood, its the reverting to venom spewing about any player on this team that gets me. Spew about Ollie all you want. And I would say that the last 7 games have been different then the 7 games before that. Will it last? Who knows, but i’m inclined to want to believe it will, because frankly, if I thought it wouldn’t, why would I be here?
Ok, sure seemed like you were demanding a better mood.
I guess you just picked up on different things. Most of the “spewing” I saw was directed at Ollie, not others.
That said, I think the generally bad mood and instant anger amongst this fanbase is pretty understandable given the last calendar year or so.
Churchie!!!!! This boy can flat out play.
Delgado clearly shouldnt be playing against lefties. At least not this lefty…
Sanchez threw 55 pitches to get through 3 IP. They will have a chance against the Giants pen tonight so long as the offense doesnt roll over and play dead for 2-3 innings.
i can’t imagine that the pen will be worse than sanchez…
check thier stats ;)
delgado gave us our first run, dont diss him, he’s playing a lot better, especially defensively…..
Man, does anybody have a better arm than Church? If so, who?
ooooh hey ryan church, whos better than you baby!
Anyone notice Delgado has reverted back to keeping his jersey clean? He totally had a chance to snag that liner.
Maybe Bill R. needs to bench him every 3 games before his sense of entitlement starts to entrench itself back into his thinking…
and he just scooped it out—good def
nice play reyes/delgado
nice pick, carlos…
Whats their problem? he was clearly out
what were those fans booing about? he was clearly out once delgado picked that ball
PS- delgado is nasty at picking balls
we’d be owning this game if it weren’t for OP….
intereting that vargas will be gettin his 2nd AB in the 4th, reyes his 3rd already, means this guy sanchez hasnt been lights out, now 3rd time thru we rake him to even it up!
any1 else watch the mets classic game today on SNY where Delgado absolutely crushed a ball off of Jorge Sosa and give the first-place Mets the lead?
i wish i had a time machine
i respect vargas
Hey, what’s up with this “Bill R.” stuff? Bill Robinson? Huh?
Re-read the posts from recent days.
Since the Wilpon/Willie meeting and the mets playing better/the benching of Delgado, etc, etc. People have been saying Willie WAS fired. They are now managed by Bill R.
As in Bill Randolph. Looks like former bad manager but manages much better.
Sadly, Ollie makes all managers look bad.
As bad as OP was, the Giants are worse. They will find a way to lose this game!
tatis might’ve been caught napping on that called 3rd strike, but so far this game’s on Ollie. When he’s great – not too often – he’s great. But when he’s bad, he’s not just bad, he’s gutless. Even though he must care,. and must have some pitching savvy in the deepest depths of his brain, he leaves the impression that he’d rather be playing with his Star Wars figures or fingerpainting than pitching…
“When he’s great – not too often – he’s great. But when he’s bad, he’s not just bad, he’s gutless.”
that’s good for a game 7 (see perez, 2006, nlcs), but for an entire season its just a bad idea
Let’s go big head
Don’t all walks eventually come around to score?
oh man, nother inch that ball is in right
base knock here jose, chip chip
I would rather have a starter who consistently throws strikes but doesn’t have great “stuff” than Perez who has great stuff but cannot put it together.
Boy they ahd slow-poke Castro dead to rights if it wasn’t cut off.
these giants announcers are the worst i’ve ever heard in my life. the one idiot just said to the other idiot, ” do you know why randy winn hits doubles?” the other guys says, “no why?” and the first retard says, “because his number is 2.” i want to hang myself listening to these fools
HAHAHAHHAHAH they suck
I just synch my MLB.audio WFAN feed with my Extra Innings feed when the TV announcers are this bad.
Tough break
LUIS
yea slappy!!!!!
great hustle by castro
bad play by SF… castro wouldve been nailed
think it wouldv been close, in battle of the bulge between castro/molina…castro knocks ball loose lol
yea another base runn, lets go c-los
Haha I love watching Castro run
to use the old line about mo vaughn:
“it takes 4 base hits to get him home from first.”
Only 4 runs down. In the words of Hubie Brown: “Plenty of time, plenty of time.”
chippin’ away.
darkstar73:
I agree with you on it being a long season to complain with every loss…..BUT…… he has to show up and keep us in the game. Not give up 6 runs and getting 1 out. This can cripple out Bullpen as well.
Tonight wasn’t acceptable. I think you could have gotten out of the 1st inning!
This is his contract year
Perez already had one start where he failed to get out of the 2nd inning, giving him the two shortest starts of the season, and both of his stinkers for the year. He has used up his quota of stinkers. Wanna bet he makes 20 more starts without another stinker? I sure dont.
UGH, I have no problem with hating on Perez, jeese, look at what I said.
2 run dinger
wow, the mets are playing the mets
sure does look that way.
Yeah baby.
here we go carlos here we go!!!
That was strange
Cmon beltran, put one into the gap.
castillo is SOOOOOO much better from the right side. he should never bat lefty again
3-Run Dinger by Beltran…………………..I hope.
whos older, castillo or lautenberg?
I think Castillo is older than the broad Lautenberg was making fun of
give castillo credit for one thing: running around and playing pro-ball on two bad knees is impressive. imagine the pain.
Especially when you are 62 years old
Lautenburg has better knees.
I like the fight
Not
o man beltran-
another 2 left on- CMON GUYS LETS GO ITS 4 RUNS JEZUS CHRIST
Castro’s slide almost didnt get to the plate… he must have gained a few pounds he wasnt aware of…
more stranded runners… 8 so far.
come on carlos.. you have to get a hit there baby!!
i thought beltran was “hot”
He “WAS” for only two days.
yeah, if he doesn’t hit a HR in every game, he must be “slumping”
What’s that, like 8 men left on base already?
Deja Vu with these guys — chances to score with runners on base, and they’re back on defense before ya know it with another wasted inning.
miker94 :
I agree bench his @ss againts righties. I don’t care how much we pay him. Put in Marlon Anderson or call up valentine. He is Drastically better.
How about not Switch Hitting anymore…
Anderson is on the DL and Valentine is managing in Japan… and his knees are worse than Castillo’s
Can’t get a hit every time. Don’t forget Beltran won Saturday’s game for us.
Perez has an 7.56 ERA over his last 8 starts. He’s only pitched 38.1 innings and given up 32 earned runs (plus 5 unearned runs in his April 30th start). Only 2 of those games would qualify as quality starts. We were better off with Chan Ho Park and David Williams last year. What a joke.
You said that already
It was a double play.
I agree he is awful
Everybody said that already
I have a bad case of deja vu, just like Perez.
Good news is Sanchez for another inning. He’s not very good. I was shocked to read that he has a bunch of quality starts.
Seems like the hitters get themselves out more than he gets them out.
Church, Tatis, Delgado next inning.. if we don’t get anything going I fear I might fall asleep.
Seriously guys, when do we start the Trade Oliver Perez chant. I mean every single day he makes the Nady trade even worse.
pitches 1 and 2 to win were exactly in the same spot
Omar panicked when Sanchez went down.
I’d really rather have Nady’s offense than Perez’s pitching.
In hindsight that Hernandez and Perez trade for Nady is TERRIBLE.
Agree with you 100%!!!!
Geez, you guys have incredible amnesia. If you keep Nady, who starts Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS?
ok, while Ollie has been incredibly inconsistent this year and is a problem, he DID win 15 games for us last year and pitched very well for us down the stretch in ‘06 and in the playoffs. You can’t take that away and say now, 2 years later, the trade sucked.
Darkstar is right on this one. Mixed bag trade.
If the Mets somehow pull out Game 7 in the LCS in 06 (and we all know they had ample chances), it’s all completely worth it.
How did Perez do when we needed him most last year?? He was plunking the Marlins pitcher while pitching us out of the playoffs.
And where would we have been in 06 without Ollie (and even Roberto Hernandez?) Last year, no chance to Collapse if Ollie doesn’t pitch well most of the year.
Of course, we’d all take Nady back now for OP and are angry at OP’s mental defects. But, you have to acknowledge the historic good too.
Nice play by Luis. Vargas is making his case…
Claudio Vargas is making it much easier to remove Ollie from the starting rotation…
dude vargas is cruising right now
1st inning took like 45 mins
theyve played 3 in the last 40 mins
It’s amazing what happens when a pitcher has control
when was Vargas’s last start? maybe he can throw about 80 pitches?
He’s working on 3 days of rest.
He threw 102 pitches in Colorado on 3 days rest.
At least we haven’t seen any of those Stupid Jeter commercials!
Is there possibly a dumber human being on the planet than Joe Benningo?
Chris Russo
Joe Morgan
why the hell is keith hernandez a spokesperson for coin gallery of oyster bay.
AND WHERE THE HELL IS GUISSEPE?
Guisseppe has had a quiet night
Vargas has retired 9 batters on 36 pitches, Perez retired just 1 on 36 pitches. :-\
Sanchez is at 71 through 4, he’s got a chance to go 7 with another short inning.
vargas’s performance is making ollie’s look even worse – if that’s possible.
Church isn’t seeing the ball well vs. Sanchez. He’s pretty late on the fastballs.
Sanchez seems like he is tough on leftys
if you think the pitching in this game is bad, check out this AAA boxscore. Its a disgrace to the game.
web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2008_06_02_prtaax_nhmaax_1&t=g_box&did=milb
ugh, mets lefties cannot hit low breaking balls
this game is getting late early
this is not at all on the offense yet….don’t forget the travel + being down 6 runs…the team is playing better but its not freaking superhuman….root for them to chip away…yes they have lost opportunities no doubt about it….but they still have some game left
please spare me with the travel
Its Jonathan Sanchez and the Giants. The Mets should be winning. But of course, as Mets fans we chould know that sustaining success is not our speciality.
Look How big the Friggin Home Plate Umpire is…. Is that Great Khali behind the Plate???
tatis-ed.
hers our DL stint!!!
15 day DL
this might be our break getting this joker out of the lineup.
Degado DL? there’s Willie’s answer to his prayers.
get on first you phag
haha sry to say it but delgado’s face was priceless there…he was all like “”"eeeeeek!”
Can we plunk HGH Rowand now?
12 outs to score 5 runs to win. Possible………………..maybe.
Check Out the Umpire behind HOme Plate… He’s Huuuuge… I think that might be Great Khali behind the Plate….
Dude! you said that already. Why do you guys keep insisting on repeating yourselves! Geez.
if you think the pitching in this game is bad, check out this AAA boxscore. Its a disgrace to the game.

does any1 have a picture of the infamous bill webb?
play manager…
do you PH for Vargas leading off next inning or leave him to get to the 8th?
just 40 pitches through 3 2/3 so far
PH- game is getting late and they are going to need him this trip
I would take Vargas out after this inning because you have to get some hits. We can’t give up outs down 4 runs.
I’d let him go. Why waste the bullpen? Unless, of course, Willie wants to give Heilman some work. Beside, Vargas is keeping us in the game.
PUT DELGADO ON THE DL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t hope he’s hurt, thats just mean, but really, it would save face for him and really he needs to not be playing right now.
Even if he’s fine, they need to just lie and say he broke his hand. Really. For eveyones sake. Delgado’s too. C’mon guys…everyone knows what happens to the family dog eventually…
My dog is sitting right next to me and he’s very concerned about your post. I’m trying to convince him that nothing happens to the family dog eventually. He didn’t mean it, buddy. Nothing happens to the family dog eventually.
OK, back to the game.
Too bad Vargas didn’t start this game….
idk what this performance by vargas says- just how good he is or just how bad perez is
i hate rowand’s “taking a dump” batting stance.
LOL
Pinch hit. You can’t win if you don’t score. basic math.
i agree, pen is well rested too, so they can handle today and tomorrow.
We’re 4 runs down and Vargas is leading off. I’d keep him the game … he keeping us in the game.
well if I knew they were going to use Evans to PH I would have said let Vargas bat… no difference.
Remind me WHY the Mets would consider keeping Pelf in the rotation over Vargas and send Muniz down?
Because they’ve spent the last couple of year telling us what a great phenom he is.
Ah, of course. To make up for bad marketing. Did we learn anything from “Generation K”?
Ummm…don’t give up on a guy too early?. See Isringhausen, Jason
That is a Big Ass Home Plate Umpire… He looks like Friggin Jason or Michael Myers…. Geezzzzz…
i know, he’s huge, lets move on
I don’t think he is even that big
Why not keep Muniz, Vargas, and Pelfrey and see what Heilman can do as a starter in New Orleans?
If only Vargas had started this game with a 0-0 score.
Even at 4-0 he would have given then a good chance. Mets would have had the tieing run on base three times already.
I can’t tell the difference between Vargas’ swing and Evan’s swing
why take vargas out?
can’t give up outs down 4 runs
If only I could win the lottery tonight.
Nick Evans looks like Kelly from Bad News Bears… Nick should come to Bat with a leather Jacket and a Cigarette in his mouth… That would be Awesome…
Claudio Vargas,
He’s our man.
If Ollie can’t do it,
Vargas can.
NICK EVANS- WTF R U DOING SWINGING AT THAT- BACK TO BINGHAMTON FOR YOU
Ever hear of the term “dear caught in headlights?”
NO – I mean if you are catching your dear in your headlights, you’re looking at least at vehicular manslaughter charges!
Now, a “deer in the headlights” IS the appropriate phraseology to describe Evans’s last swing in that AB.
Gip, could be justifiable homicide.
You are being quite the spelling cop today. I normally respect that, but this was a bit harsh.
Still laughing over the bumb thing, though. That was great.
funny how bumb is the actual word though, unless we are talking about gips moms rear..
Dude, look it up somewhere. Google, M-W.com, dictionary.com
you’re looking worse by justifying it.
Boy, pinch hitting for Vargas worked out well.
Nick Evans = Needs to Go down to AA right NOOOOOW…
Send Evans down and bring up Stache or Danny Murphy. Evans is awful, I don’t think he has even gotten a hit since his first game.
Why is he up here? is that the best we have doen in the minors?
He’s up here because Marlon Anderson got hurt…oh, and because of the horrific Nady trade.
Funny how badly everyone wanted Evans up here when Delgado was struggling. That came from people who don’t know baseball, plain and simple.
alous back on thursday
gotta love the fight in this team
what was that- 11 pitches? go mets
They lose this game, it’s more on the lack of offense than OP. They’ve had their chances to come back against a below average pitcher.
Correct . . . again.
It’s both, but I blame OP more. That was as pathetic performance as I’ve ever seen – well, at least since his start vs. Pittsburgh…
they got Sanchez up to 100 pitches through 6. So that should be his last inning.
55 through first 3, 45 tthrough second 3. They didnt let up on him at all really. Nice job by the offense of making him work and getting men on base. Terrible job leaving them on base though…
I had a good feeling about a Giuseppe Franco commercial
that commerical is so flippin funny lol
I think they may keep all of the pitchers and just swap Evans for Pedro.
They dont need a 5th OF / 4th 1B who cant even make contact.
I hate the Phillies as most of you do, but I get the feeling the Phillies would put up much more of a fight than our boys are showing now.
they are an elite team. utley is a top 5 player in the game right now
Nick the Dick Evans Should Never EVER wear a Major League Uniform…
calm down buddy
God, can you seriously shut up. I mean really. You bring absolutely nothing to the table in the comments section.
how does this guy away w posts w the word d— in it?
Pot calling kettle black, buddy.
GIUSEPPE!!!!!!!
Like the Mets’ bats, it’s time for me to go to sleep.
but, LET’S GO METS, we are a grand lam away from tying this.
Little Nickie Evans
Willie thinks he’s great
Sends him out to pinch hit
But he can’t find the plate
Sit down already
and if willie doesn’t use him…he doesn’t like young players.
and there goes our chance of a comeback
never mind about muniz
can we just send the whole goddam team down?
CALL UP THE ZEPHYRS
They already did: Vargas, Tatis, Casanova, Muniz, Smith
Muniz now doing well at showing why he shouldn’t be sent down..
*now = not
I’m stuck seeing Ollie pitch Saturday in San Diego. He better have a much better game this weekend.
sanchez staying in? is dusty still managing the giants
Boy I hope they win tomorrow and have a successful road trip. If they get slammed on this road trip I will hate to see the reaction when they come home. We’ll be right back again calling for willie’s head and the media having a field day. Circus No. 2
Is there any end to this madness. Will we ever get to 10 games over .500?
“Will we ever get to 10 games over .500?”
Maybe not. I’ve supported this team through it’s best and worst years, and if this is one of the bad ones then that’s the way it goes some years.
I don’t mind when a team is bad when they’re supposed to be bad like small market teams with 40Million payrolls, but this is the team with the highest payroll in the NL . Not That I care, it’s not my money, but this is NY ($140 Million) and this team was built to win now!
see the ‘02-’04 seasons for $100+ million payrolls that were FAR worse then this year. Funny how people forget about that so quickly. Frankly though, money has nothing to do with this. this team has always had a high payroll, but when have we ever been consistently good? Never, so why does it suddenly change now? We should be winning not because of money, but because we have talent.
Well we’ve seen that before too though. On paper the team in 92 should have been better than The Worst Team Money Could Buy. It happens. I’m not even saying it’s happening this year, but it might. The biggest concern I have is that we’re never really going to see the whole team at any time this season. There’s always going to be at least someone on the DL if not more than just someone. This team is just too damn old. It could very well come back to bite them in the behind.
HAHAHAH VERY FITTING BOYS VERY FITTING
well i guess muniz just bought his ticket….let’s get ‘em tomorrow….
well thats good night
goodnight all
let the fire willie posters start up again by sun rise on the east coast
Ugh/
G’night Irene!
Is it me or does it seem that Philly has played their entire season at home…every time I see a highlight of their’s, it’s in Philly and Utley is hitting a HR…
ok then, Muniz down for Pedro, Evans down for Alou.
I still like Muniz, but with the uncertainty in the rotation (like, can Pedro pitch every fifth day?) they are probably better off with Vargas and Pelfrey both up.
Miniz down (temporarily maybe), Vargas to the pen when not part of a 6 man rotation.
Ollie gets electro shock therapy before the next game.
Evans down for Alou.
I haven’t been watching, but I assume Delgado is still in the game? The DL talk was just a fantasy?
oh yay zito tom. night, hmmm hell go 8ip, 2 hits 1 run, mets lose
this is what i’m talking about Gipper
I get it.
But, I also get the gallows humor and general bad mood amongst this fanbase, given the last calendar year.
fair enough
now the games over- there was no need to take out vargas if willie was going to pinch hit for him with nick evans. you might be better off pinch hitting with johan. im not going to bash this evans kid- he could contribute down the road, but right now, he has no business on a mlb team
but if they didnt PH for him they couldnt put Muniz in this no win situation…
gipper is a queer
Homophobic non-sequitor of the night.
hey, im gonna stay up all night in moms basement and correct spelling errors on a mets blog..
that sounds like a typical friday night for you gipper not a monday..
on monday you should be playing bridge with your grandmother while you tivo two and a half men..
get a life you queer
Lovely.
I wasn’t the only one to point out the hilarity of “bumbs.” It still makes me laugh.
How would a lack of ignorance and/or a mastery of 2rd grade spelling equal “alternative lifesyle” even in that rather miniscue brain of yours?
BTW, I don’t know how to play bridge. And the classic 1907 two-bedroom condo I share with my girlfriend has no basement, per se. Furthermore, it is located approximately 2,800 miles from my parents’ place.
Oh, and both my grandmas are dead. Classy.
Finally, it is Monday night, not Friday.
*3rd grade
because BUMB is the way you spell the word you MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C’mon, Boooo, this isn’t working out for you.
Dictionary.com search revealss “No results found for bumb.” and “19 results for: bum”
btw, Gipper is far from a moron, seriously.
he got you on the two and a half men!!
Not that I want to defend ollie. But I live out here in the bay area and the wind really kicked up around sunset for about 45 minutes. Directly out of the west… ie, from behind home. Notice the ball stopped carrying…
It’s Heilman time. Why not lose by 1 touchdown when you can lose by 2?
Are you the president of the Ollie Perez Fan club?
No he is the Chairman of The Board of Ollie Perez Fan Club Corporation…
Nope. Can’t stomach it when Perez pitches. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to his pitching. There is always a dread of impending doom when he starts.
However, you do need a sense of humor during blowouts. Otherwise you won’t get through the season without having a major depressive episode. (I happen to be a licensed counselor who deals a lot with grief and loss issues.). I’ve been a diehard Mets fan for over 40 years, and still have my sanity, except when Perez pitches.
Oops. You weren’t talking to me. Never mind.
wow only when Doh’P takes the hill?
you’re relatively healthy then.
If Muniz goes another, that is a pretty good sign he is going down.
whoever wrote that each mets loss will take on its own personality until the mets are in first or 15 games above .500 was dead on.
nope. perez should be moved to the minors or bullpen. just saying he picked the wrong day to be close to the plate.
Mets missed an opp by not lifting one up into the jet stream that first inning. sanchez was smart, keeping the ball down…
I’m still up on Muniz. This game is just a disaster in general.
come on david.. not you too
whats the lineup tomorrow?
I’d like to see Willie put Chavez in left in place of Tatis, and Evans or Easley at first. Gotta help pedro go as far as he can.
Tatis and Easley should play agiainst Zito. Evans shouldnt be here tomorrow, though I think he will be.
They should send down Muniz and Evans, activate Pedro and call up Tim McNab to replace Muniz/Vargas as the long man.
I Hate it when Willie gives up, 6 runs is not impossible, after Muniz gave up those 2 hits this inning he should have been out of there.
nice heilman in with bases loaded..
hmmmmmm
grand salami, trip to NO, mets nation rejoices???
Ok well tonight obviously wasn’t the way we wanted to start this road trip. Perez’s performance and the long flight and going down 6 in the first inning wasn’t going to be a winning formula. Lets take the next two. For us right now its important to win series. We got pedro going tommarow.
Heilman with the bases loaded? They really dont like Muniz do they? :P
I don’t get it, Willie already gave up, Muniz should finish this game. We all know he is the one getting sent down. Why waste another arm. At this point who cares if the Giants score any more runs
Muniz is a rookie, you cant leave him out there scuffliing like that. He’s thrown 40 pitches, you dont want to push a reliever much past that in most cases. And they would have PH for Muniz after one more out anyway. It was the right move to make.
exactly, that move should have been made 4 batters ago. After he gave up the first 2 hits with 1 out.
ace heilman to the rescue
Vargas should remain in the rotation.
At this point we’ll fall 4.5 back of the phillies. Were also 4.5 back of the wild card. The way the phils are playing lately we gotta continue to play well or we’ll be playing for the wild card the 2nd half. I still think if we play anywhere close to what were capable of playing that we should get at least the wild card. Plenty of season left.
Also on perez. He came out throwing mid 80’s tonight for whatever reason. He just didn’t have it. He’s gotta figure out something quick, because he might be taking over the spot of least reliable starter in our rotation. Good thing pedro’s coming back tommarow, hopefully he can give us a quality outing.
this team can’t play in the cold…..period……
heilman looking good right now.. he should be put back in the setup role ASAP!!!
can heilman be sent down tonight?
Heilman’s in…Boy, does that feel good!
Good hitting Mets against awesome SF staff!
mets should freddy garcia, he should be a solid #4 for us,mets cant continue to count on perez and pelfrey
my be an 8 run 9th
wow, I can’t believe he got out of that
I hope Wagner lets one out on Perez again. This loss is solely on Perez. Yes the offense was bad, but it is completely demoralizing when you go out there see your #3 pitcher give up 6 runs in 0.1 innings.
Perez continues to cost him (and Scott Boras) multi-millions. . .
amen…….honestly, you cant expect guys who literally flew all night to really be at their best when the guy who FLEW A DAY EARLIER AND WASN”T EXHAUSTED completely sh*t the bed…..I like the Mets more than I like the possibility of beating Philly or ATL, and therefore, I really would have no problem trading Ollie…..Wait till the deadline, and then have people line up needing a pitcher…..Is Oliver Perez really going to win us the NL East? I like Ollie, and last year he was great, but his entire career has been like this, one good year, one terrible……It’s not worth it…..Then you take those pieces you get from him, and use it for Jason Bay…..
well, lets take the next two with pedro and maine pitching
It’s time for all good Mets’ fans – especially those living on EST – to let this loss go and go to bed and their rest. For tomorrow night Pedro “Michaelangelo” Martinez will pitch a masterpiece for 6 innings.
Sweet dreams.
