Other Miscellany From Last Night
Art Howe made a gutsy call last night. With 2 outs in the sixth he intentionally walked eighth place hitter Yorvit Torrealba to get to pitcher Brett Tomko betting that Giants manager Felipe Alou would not use Barry Bonds as a pinch hitter. The gamble paid off. Alou said after the game that he was […]
Root For The Mets (Not Their Opponents)
Attendance at Shea Stadium was up 7,000 over the average Mets home game last night as fans flocked to Flushing for a chance to see one of the games greats, Barry Bonds, on his teams only trip to New York this season. While I didn’t see much of the game I did manage to see […]
Good Win Last Night
With Barry Bonds sitting out with a sinus infection the Mets did exactly what they were supposed to do last night. Beat the opposition when their best player is out of the lineup. And they did so convincingly outscoring the Giants 6-2. Several bright spots included: Steve Trachsel pitched 8 strong innings allowing 5 hits […]
Bonds To Sit Out?
Rumor has it that Barry Bonds will sit out tonight’s game at Shea because of a sinus infection. If this is true then we can look forward to more of the “do you pitch to Bonds?” nonsense in tomorrow’s paper. More importantly it takes a great bat out of the game for the Giants and […]
Bonds Rising
With the San Francisco Giants coming to town to open a three game set today there’s a lot being written in the New York media about Barry Bonds. He’s obviously the cornerstone of the Giants’ lineup as he would be the cornerstone of just about every lineup in baseball history. And rightfully so, I might […]
Blog Maintenance
I made a few improvements to the right sidebar of the blog in the last week or so. I added the calendar to help readers access recent posts easier, a scoreboard under the blog links for live updates and re-arranged the list of blog links to put some of my favorite (and more active) blogs […]
Flushing Local: When Glass Returns
Flushing Local had a good posting today about how to adjust the lineup when Cliff Floyd returns. Read it here.
I Need Help Please
I noticed tonight that when I view this blog using Internet Explorer from home the fonts are very large. When I view it in IE at work the font size appears normal. Can someone else please verify with me if the fonts appear very large or average size? This will help me know whether I […]
Random Mets Thoughts
Several points about Jose Reyes rehab from his hamstring injury have come to light in the wake of his latest setback. For those who don’t know, Reyes took himself out of his second rehab game last Thursday after tweaking his bad hammy. He underwent an MRI on Friday and it turns out that not only […]
Mets Avoid Weekend Sweep
I was getting ready to write my weekly post about how the Mets got swept over the weekend when I was thrown a curve. They beat San Diego today to avoid the sweep. I didn’t see any of the game today (my family manages to keep me busy most weekends) so I’ll post some stuff […]
