More Bad Offense
The Mets lost to the Expos 2-1 last night. Where have I heard that before? You can take what I said yesterday about the importance of not wasting good performances and substitute Tom Glavine instead of Al Leiter. A Mike Cameron error lead to the winning (unearned) run. So much for defense up the middle. […]
Stanton Keeping Batista On Base
Why was Mike Stanton being so careful about keeping Tony Batista so close to first in the 8th inning? Especially with 2 outs? The guy has never had more than 7 stolen bases in a season (his career high of 7 came in his rookie year of 1996). He has stolen only 33 bases in […]
Another One Bites The Dust
The Mets blew another one last night losing 2-1 to the Expos. From what I’ve read so far this morning people are really coming down on the Mets for losing this one. While it’s true that the Expos are a team the Mets should beat the fact is that the Mets can’t win every game […]
Things To Look For Tonight
Things to watch for in tonight’s game against the Expos: Mike Piazza is stuck on 350 career home runs. One more will tie him with Carlton Fisk for number one on the all time list of home runs by a catcher. Piazza had been slumping but went 2 for 3 last night and hit a […]
Update on the Waffles Google Bomb
The Google bomb worked!! As I wrote yesterday, the blog Esoteric * Diatribe is leading a Google bombing to get the #1 search result for the term waffles on Google to be Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry’s homepage. They have succeeded. To see the results click here. Even more interesting is that it now appears […]
My Take on A-Rod’s Slump
Everyone in the press is all over the Alex Rodriguez slump and trying to figure out what’s wrong with him. The answer? Nothing. He’s a player who is adjusting to a new team and a new position. Like any other player in that situation he is bound to have cold spells while making the adjustment. […]
Mondays Action
As mentioned in a previous post the Mets beat the Expos 4-1 last night to break their 3 game skid. It’s always nice to have a last place team come in when you’re on a slide like that. Some random notes: Tyler Yates pitched a decent game. He’s getting a lot of praise in the […]
Bad Audio on Fox Sports Net
While I was watching the Mets-Expos game on Fox Sports Net tonight I couldn’t help but notice the horrible audio. The fan noise in the overpowered the commentators to the point where it was not easy to hear what was being said. Also the audio levels seemed to be in flux through the whole game. […]
Mets Win
The Mets won 4-1 against the Expos tonight. Granted, the Expos are a last place team so it’s not much to get excited about. But as a last place team the Mets are expected to beat the Expos if they are going to contend this year. So beating the Expos is a good sign. Let’s […]
Mets Winning in 4th Inning
I just turned on the game and the Mets are winning 4-0 in the 4th inning. As the Mets were victimized by a couple of big innings over the weekend I’m not going to get my hopes up yet. But this is certainly a promising development.
