why not post lineups?
And what’s up with the new header? El Stinko. Do you think people will miss the tremendous GEICO ad an inch or two away?
It’s one thing to have a sponsor, it’s quite another to allow that sponsor to interfere with what should be an autonomous thing.
Are the mets going to wear uniforms with “Citi” on them next year? This usurpation of your autonomy in the header is very close to the same. Why not just go straight for the Chico’s Bail Bonds look?
Hope the GEICO tattoo they likely made you all get on your glutes doesn’t hurt too badly.

you guys are getting lazy posting the lineups
…and the post game analysis.
Step it up guys, you’re in the big leagues now.
i like the lineup…on another note, why don’t the marlins have a hi-def channel?
They offer some of their games in HiDef, but they’re too cheap (surprise!) to do all their games in it.
maybe another desperation move to get people to go their home games?
You like this lineup? They have the weak hitter at all three positions (reyes, schneider, chavez rather than easley, castro, tatis)
cuz they’re facing a righty?
tatis has been slumping a little, castro is hurting and argenis deserves a start every now and then. tell me you don’t like the way 3-6 looks. the weakest link is schneider, but that’s a given…so all that being said, yeah, i like the lineup today
Reyes is in a second for his defense with Pelfrey pitching.
at second*
good point.
He also hadnt been in there that much lately and they need to look at him a few times before Castillo comes back. Wouldnt want to send him down without seeing what he can do a little more.
unnoticed to most, however, schneider seems to be warming up a bit at the plate
has he? It seems like Cancel has been getting more playing time than Brian lately…
he’s 7 for 16 in his last 5 starts, not much, I know, but still…
i dont mind seeing chavez out there against the marlins, who hit a lot of dep fly balls (although hopefully pelf can keep them in the infield). i wonder about A-rey in the 2 hole though (then again, i didn t like evans there last night either, and i was proven wrong)
Anyone else in the Albany area not seeing the game on the CW11????
yea, its on now though, as I’m sure it is for you. Every time the game is on the CW i get nervous they’ll screw the broadcast up like they almost just did. They just seem so sloppy and unprofessional. I guess we’re spoiled with the Emmy Award winning SNY broadcast.
u guys get CW11 up there? or is it a simulcast feed?
simulcast thank god. I can’t stand to be without my keith ron and gary for very long *cough* I hate fox baseball *cough*
Yay, I get to watch the game with the Marlins announcers. Three hours of hell, here we come.
I feel for you. Up at school we don’t get the CW so i had to watch on TBS once.
three grounders…great to see from Dr. Pelf
Dont read too much into Stokes not being sent down for the time being.
He will stay on the roster at least until Maine comes back and makes his start. They will want a backup plan for Maine that day in case his injury flares up after such an active DL stint. Stokes is the only guy who should do that, and there arent really anymore quality relievers to call up anyway…
Jose with high socks? This doesn’t happen to often.
I would imagine A. Reyes is also being evaluated rather closely with Castillo on his way back.
crap
Pelfrey’s sinker is flat, only moving in on the righties, not down at all.
and that’s why murphy was not a highly rated prospect: he has absolutely no clue what to do in the outfield
makes little sense, he was a 3B prospect not an OF prospect
i meant to say, he has no clue what he’s doing in the field, he was not very good as an infielder either – look at his numbers, had tons of errors and very little range. and from what we’ve seen, he’s pretty slow running the bases. don’t get me wrong, after what he’s done im his biggest fan, but he’s only shown true potential at the plate (which, of course, is what will get you to the bigs and earn u the $$$)
ah, I get your point now.
I’m not so sure I completely agree though. That play where the ball short hopped the wall and bounced over his head isnt really the worst mistake in the world. Not like Milledge in Fenway. :P
I like that he hustles and works at it as much as he does. Hopefully his work in the field will pay off the way his long history of work in the batting cage will pay off.
Otherwise he might end up as the next Edgar Martinez…
double crap
At what time do you think we’ll see our first “I HATE THIS TEAM” post??
WIll it appear today? I say 2:49 pm today
I HATE THIS TEAM
Been saying that since last Sept… ;)
the marlins guy just sent out a challenge to the marlins fans “try to outnumber the cubs fans this weekend in florida…you know there’s gonna be a lot of cub fans there, so lets show some hometown pride”
marlins fans suck
nothing spells cold shower like Brian Schneider
Honesty…..he’s just awful
I love Chavez, but when the Mets are down against a pitcher that just owns them like this, it’s tough having him in the lineup.
and, I’m an idiot. I love the Mets, but they can never catch the Phillies for the division.
yeah…leadoff triples suck… ; )
Metsblog,
In the future, please simply post the lineup instead of referring us to an “SNY.TV” link, which did not show the lineup you clicked on it.
old lady is good luck!
Can someone explain the rules to me…We all know, when it’s cold, the umpires will allow the pitchers to go to their mouth. How come, here in August, Pelfrey gets to work on his fingers like a kid with an ice cream cone?
Nice one Endy…!
a lot of it depends on the other team…if they complain then the ump will issue a warning, technically it is illegal, but nobody really cares
When and if Church comes back how are we going to get Murph in the lineup everyday? Personally I wouldn’t mind dealing with the few errors we get from him at second as long as he continues to hit. He could learn on the job. Or at least until it becomes an issue.
Think about that linuep
Reyes
Murphy
Wright
Delgado
Beltran
Church
Tatis
Schneider..
thats solid!!
is that Tatis or Murphy playing 2B?
either way it might be a disaster… Castillo/Easley at 2B and Tatis/Murphy in LF platoons is probably the way they will go.
ok castillo>argenis reys. id rather have castillo then him b/c that kid is nothing special
why exactly is argenis reyes on this team? is it just for the comic relief he provides when they stick bubblegum on his cap? to make castillo’s return more welcome? and do they put him in the 2-hole just for the chance to say “reyes drives in reyes”?
Wasn’t it just 3 weeks ago people on this board were uttering the “I really like this Argenis Reyes kid…” type comments??
THIS IS WHY we need to be careful about small sample sizes (20 at-bats, David Murphy anyone?)
not me, i’ve been complaining about a-rey since he got here, weak bat and looks very bad on popups, although he’s pretty skilled as a ground-ball fielder.
ughh he sucks he was worse than castillo when he came up.
come on Pelf, don’t revert back to your 2 out ways
F**king Pelfrey….such garbage
should have walked him dammit, he’s got absolutely nothing on his potches today
now walk the pitcher for Ramirez, excellent
Big Mike not inducing confidence today…
Way to choke………………scrub
I’m pretty sure they’ll have an incredibly hard time hitting Johnson…
are you being serious or is this like your schtick now?
He’s not a good pitcher. Period.
The Marlins seem to have Pelf’s number
Well, a series win is a good thing…Not that I’m sayin’…I’m just sayin’…
It’s just bizarre how this team has so much trouble sweeping
As opposed to all the teams that have had no trouble brooming this out of their buildings….
Why can we never develop a pitcher this good? All we get is garbage like Pelfrey…
If only we had a pitcher that could come up like johnson in big games…oh wait..that’s right, we got santana
and perez
I said “D-E-V-E-L-O-P”
Learn to read.
Oh, and how’s having Santana really helping us this season anyway?
Being sarcastic there.
this johnson is one he’ll of a pitcher though, looked great from the day he got to the bigs.
Danny Baseball is the real thing…he smoked that. I love watching this kid. I know he’s not gonna continue this clip, but he def has an idea at the plate, and I have confidence he can develop the glove…
Angry Fan…”how’s having Santana helping this year?”…are you kidding. Sub-3.00 ERA. Leaves with the lead almost every start…you’ve got to be kidding.
I don’t deny the guy has pitched well. Results-wise, he’s not having an impact.
Not saying it was his fault, just strictly looking at impact.
Well the guy you say sucks is 8-1 in his last 9 decisions. How’s that for impact?
Can you show me where I say “he sucks”
???
How does “I don’t deny the guy has pitched well” turn into “he sucks”
???
Die please.
I’m talking about Pelfrey, who you said is a “scrub” and “not a good pitcher.” You got issues pal.
Oh. Well Pelfrey DOES suck.
He’s NOT a good pitcher.
I guess you stopped watching the game today
And I guess you havn’t seen him in any of his past 15 or so starts. But ya know, screw it, if he struggles in one game in August that negates all of his other success this season. Logic!
ps. Muniz is really really not a major league pitcher. Even as a long man.
Pelfrey’s gotta get through this, getting behind by 3 against this Johnson guy will be tough
it appears the logical debate has ended for the day.
later, have fun with the nuts.
ditto
Philly phucking laffs at this piece of crap Pelfrey
And theres game!
he’s pitching very very poorly, now we gotta waste the bullpen with a daygame tomorrow
Not to mention Pedro can only go 6 at best tomorrow
Wow, and thats being generous, id be happy if he goes 5!
pelfrey’s been horrible the whole year…he should be traded or released. He’s done NOTHING for this team.
No wait…nevermind. Just a bad game.
Post-all star game he’s stink it up like he did before he had that one lucky hot streak
said the repressed homosexual…
I laugh at how hard someone like you has to try to deal with someone expressing a differing viewpoint.
uh huh…sure
He can’t pitch against the Marlins, not locating at all. I highly doubt they come back against Johnson.
AngryFan, ever wonder why you’re single?
Really? That would be a suprise to my wife…
sure dude
Wife? Really?
What’s his name?
Kunz better come up big
ok all u guys who knocked stokes last night.. look who had the better game. pelfrey sucks when theres 2 outs.
i smell a walk or a grand slam.
that a boy or future closer. sorry set up man wow our best relfief pitch is slated best as a set up man.
,,,said the kid toucher
I’m almost happy this is happening just to shut up the “EDDIE KUNZ IS BETTER THAN WAGNER” crowd
…said the child molester
Yeah so I molest children? What’s your point??
that you molest kids.
So lets add “idiot” to that description also.
Wait we’re supposed to believe you are married?
Kill yourself.
You claim to be a Mets fan yet you say “I’m almost happy this is happening just to shut up the “EDDIE KUNZ IS BETTER THAN WAGNER” crowd.” So you prefer that a Mets player perform poorly so you can shut the crowd up. You care more about the postings of the fans than you do about the team on the field and you call yourself a Mets fan. You’re a disgrace and should be banned.
wow. ugly one.
when wright and delgado struck out that was game. it was just so quiet
I can’t see the game, and looks like I shouldn’t have bothered to wander by and check the on line reports! Not looking like Plef had much today. Oh well.
maybe they will have a big comeback. If not, hope someone can pitch 2-3 today and take one for the rest of the pen. Good time to have a long man (oops, scratch that…)
PLEASE DFA MUNIZ
i’m blaming this game on jose’s long socks…
i wonder when the mets will finally have the intelligence and common sense to realize that the muniz experiment is OVER. funny how if this turd was on any other team in the universe he’d be sent back to little league baseball, but the mets just keep putting this guy on the mound. it’s like we are some incompetent, moron of an organization that can’t figure out that a certain player is simply not good, not at all, not even one bit. it’s not like the guy has ever shown any signs of being good. give it up already!
why is daniel murphy not batting between jose reyes and david wright?
Yeah I think the bloom is off the A Reyes rose. Man I hope Church’s comeback is for real this time.
For the life of me, I can’t understand why Minaya and Manuel continue to march Carlos Muniz out to the mound, let alone keep him at this level.
It’s ridiculous. He lives around 91 mph (Glavine territory) with little control, NO movement and more HR given up per IP than anyone else on the team.
i couldn’t agree more, this guy is a bum. give it up already
his AAA numbers suggest he is much better when he gets regular work.
I dont know why they try using him as a long reliever, they should send him back to AAA, get him some regular work, and see if he can help the Mets in Sept as a short reliever.
he is the peffect two hitter and we have him seeing worse pitches, leading off innings, without jose reyes on base an david wright on deck?
Beautiful play by Chavez. Its not really going to matter, but man, is he great to watch out there. Also nice to see the Shea Faithful giving him a nice hand.
…if they are going to leave Muniz in to soak up innings (and runs) why not give Wright a rest and let us see what Murphy can do at his natural position?
bite your tongue
maybe we should try him at second which is a more likely future for him and put argenis reyes on the bench and stick nick evans in left field
why?
if they are giving up, its a good spot to give him some rest.
would you rather Wright sat out tomorrows game entirely?
backpage murphy taking over from david wright? why do that when murphy and wright are both playing great?
sorry, I’m more worried about winning games later with a fresh Wright than what the backpages have to say. I’ll get my priorities straight sooner or later…
The fact is there’s no point in putting Murphy at third base anyway, he will never play the position as long as he is a New York Met, not to mention he is trying to learn left field because that’s where we need him.
Well, for one, if his future is in left, he needs innings there. If Wright needs a rest, I’d put Tatis at third and keep Murphy learning.
Because his future isn’t there. If they’re going to try him out at a position other than lf it should be 2nd or 1rst. There’s no reason for him to waste time at 3rd.
we stuck our hottest hitter in between beltran and schneider!!
marlins announcers…worst in baseball?
I think that’s been pretty well established.
what did they say the first 2 games????
Potentially the worst ever. I am astonished they have jobs. These guys couldn’t announce Whopper orders to a Burger King kitchen.
lucky snag
Well, that wasn’t much fun.
no…no it wasn’t…oh well, get em tomorrow
I guess Pelfrey’s coming back down to earth. Hopefully Maine comes back strong.
I’m not ready to say that (re: Pelfrey) just yet. He has historically had trouble with the Marlins, for whatever reason. And he wasn’t terrible today… I mean, he was certainly not on his game, but everyone has a bad outing now and then, and he still kept us in the game, albeit only marginally so.
The bullpen, however, still not so great.
We’ll see with Big Pelf. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed.
