The Greatest Game Ever Played (On A Friday Night In The State Of Florida)
 

Published 11 hours ago by Metstradamus (noreply@blogger.com) at The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus

Did Friday's incredible win remind you of something? Did you see a little Lenny Dykstra in Luis Castillo as he started the rally with two outs and nobody on? Did David Wright remind you a bit of Mookie Wilson when he continued the rally? Was Carlos Beltran's grand slam part Keith, part Darryl, and part Ray Knight all rolled up into one? You can be forgiven if you saw Jeremy Hermida and ...

Escape From Philadelphia
 

Published 2 days ago by Metstradamus (noreply@blogger.com) at The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus

Let's forget the obvious for a moment, that the five runs that the Mets scored after the fifth inning were instrumental in the Mets Wednesday victory because: the Mets were behind and actually needed the runs, the Mets were playing the Phillies ... ahead of them to start the night, and ... the Mets got those runs off of the Phillies bullpen, Kryptonite to Mets bats. I got a comment on my ...

What A Twist!

Can't Stop The Bleeding found this 2 days ago on metstradamus.blogspot.com

You want to know what it's like to be a Mets fan? At about 11:00 every night (except for maybe a day off every three weeks), read "The Tortoise and the Hare". Don't read any other books except that one. Because the Mets season is the same damn story ...

Remember the South Park episode where Butters was fired from the group of friends because he was too lame ... and then Butters went home and was so bitter that he developed the alter ego: " Professor Chaos "? I have this picture in my mind of Willie Randolph at home watching Monday night's game and seeing Carlos Delgado pounding away (.728 OPS 9 HR's 28 RBI under Randolph, .925 OPS, 17 HR's ...

I don't want to say that Brad Ausmus and Darin Erstad are old, but after they hit dingers off of Pedro Feliciano in the tenth on Sunday I could swear that I saw Bea Arthur grabbing a bat in the dugout mouthing the words "I want hacks ... I want haaaaaacks!!!" Of course, it would have never come down to the tenth inning had the Mets not continued their Roy Orbison impression (years between ...

David Newhan Has Sent You an E-Card

gerardcosloy gerardcosloy posted 6 days ago from metstradamus.blogspot.com

I saw former Met David Newhan do...well, not an awful lot of anything at Triple A Round Rock this season. Metradamus takes the opportunity of Newhan's first big league HR of 2008 to ask WTF? Well, not in those exact words. "Now he comes to Shea as an Astro and he's Wade &^#%$@ Boggs.?"

The Physical Challenge
 

Published 7 days ago by Metstradamus (noreply@blogger.com) at The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus

Two things caught my eye all the way from the upper deck on Friday. One was Johan Santana ... not only the seven shutout innings , but his battles with Lance Berkman. The first inning epic, 11 pitches long, was indicative of how the early part of the night was going to go ... long, arduous, and meticulous. Thanks in part to Berkman, Santana had a pitch count of about 60 with two outs in the ...

There are certain things I notice about a baseball game that nobody else does. It's not something I brag about, because most of these things that only I notice border on the ridiculous ... like in the bottom of the seventh when Fernando Tatis made a bid to give the Mets the lead with a deep drive to left, only to fall harmlessly into the glove of Omar Infante ... the same glove which he then ...

Major League Jerk found this 7 days ago on metstradamus.blogspot.com

We set the scene in the Mets bullpen, during the first inning of Wednesday night's game against the Braves: Schoeneweis : Hey everybody! Everybody! Gather your butts 'round here, Billy's got something to say to all of you! Wagner : Thanks Scott. I ...

On Second Thought ...

Cancel that order for Will Ohman. And if Luis Ayala goes on to become a huge bust here in New York, let it be known that at the very least, his very first pitch as a New York Met not only brushed a hitter back (a novel treat for a Met), not only brushed back an Atlanta Brave, but started a sequence where a Met reliever put water on a fire and not gasoline. And it led to an eighth inning ...

Hey, the Braves are in town. And as such, I think it's time to revisit something: "I've got to say that there was something particularly satisfying about taking two from the Mets and their two best pitchers right after Metsradamus dismissed us as not even in contention for winning the DIVISION, much less anything else. You said we would be lucky to break .500 (...) The Mets still can't win ...

How Much Are YOU Worth?
 

Published 11 days ago by Metstradamus (noreply@blogger.com) at The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus

There's a goofy website out there called " Human For Sale " which tells you how much you're worth if you ever want to sell yourself. And before you ask, I never finished the survey because I don't have to ... I already know you can't put a dollar figure on my worthlessness. And lucky for Luis Ayala, he doesn't have to finish this survey either (and risk having his e-mail flooded with spam ...

So here I am in the Meadowlands thinking I was going to be far away from any bullpen problems the Mets would have (and as I saw courtesy of my DVR , they indeed had their problems before finally winning .) But when Paul Raymond dropped what would have been the winning touchdown against the Redskins, and Mike Nugent hit the upright on a field goal at the buzzer (who the hell plays for the ...

High Anxiety

So when did you get nervous? Was it when Filthy Sanchez walked in from the bullpen? Was it when Jack Wilson hit his first home run of the season off Filthy, and first off of a Met since he hit a grand slam off of Danny Graves ? Was it when Aaron Heilman showed his face on the PNC mound? Or perhaps ... was it when Carlos Delgado got himself "set" to field that Andy LaRoche grounder and ...

A Picture Is Worthless
 

Published 15 days ago by Metstradamus (noreply@blogger.com) at The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus

Carlos Delgado has done many great things in his career. Last night's achievement might have been his greatest: He finally hit a ball that Willie Harris couldn't catch. Turns out Harris keeps a picture in his locker of a game winning catch (a walk-off catch?) off of Delgado last season that wound up, among other things, costing the Mets the divisional title. But he only puts it up in his ...

I hope that Dan Murphy never pulls a George Bailey and wonders how much better life on earth would be if he didn't exist. Not that Dan would be wondering that now, what with his .467 batting average and all that. You see, Dan Murphy setting the Mets' world on fire has squashed any thoughts the Mets might have had in bringing Gary Sheffield and his circus to town, now that the Tigers have put ...

Could Brian Stokes have been the key all along? Now far be it from me to be the one to make excuses for the outfit in the pen and the way they've been going these days. Heck, during the early stages of the Mets' 10-0 lead tonight, when you were thinking if there was anyone out there who thought the Mets' bullpen could blow this lead, the answer was yes ... me! But here's what I'm thinking: ...

It's Like Having A Dentist Extinguish A Fire
 

Published 16 days ago by Metstradamus (noreply@blogger.com) at The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus

I understand that one save of a Johan Santana victory doesn't mean that the bullpen shouldn't stop designing those t-shirts that say "I Got Traded To The Mets And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt" on the front, along with "And 17 No-Decisions Too" on the back. (I wonder if Johan has exited the fetal position yet.) But if Jerry Manuel thinks that John Maine as closer is a good idea, consider ...

You ever get the feeling that the Mets bullpen could be a ride at Disneyworld? Seriously, I know people that have been on the tower of terror so many times that it bores them. The Mets bullpen is the new Tower of Terror. Guaranteed to slay your spirit. This may have topped 'em all. A Pirate team in town for one game on a rainout make up game ... a team that was 1-348 on the season when they ...
