Looper’s Blown Season
I am so inseced by the news about Braden Looper‘s shoulder that I don’t even know where to begin. Looper was hurt even before the season began. He was told he needed surgery that would cause him to miss the early part of the season. The other option was to play through it because the […]
Willie’s Take on Looper
Willie Randolph went on the defensive yesterday about Braden Looper‘s status on the team. Here’s what Randolph responded to the question of if he would use someone else as the closer. At this point in the season, no. He’s my closer. He’s been my closer. He’s got the most saves of anybody on my team. […]
Quote of the Day
We should have won the game. I stunk it up. – Mets closer Braden Looper after giving away last night’s game against the Braves. In addition to whatever else we’re calling Looper these days we can add ‘Mr. Obvious’ to the arsenal.
Braden Loser
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. I haven’t written much lately but today is the day I get back into even if the Mets are falling out of it. I’ve written many times about my displeasure with Braden Looper. Last night’s game is promting me to do it again. Looper came in […]
Why Piazza is an All-Star
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. Mike Piazza proved yesterday why he was selected as the NL’s starting catcher in next week’s MLB All-Star game. With the score tied at 2 in the top of the 11th inning should be All-Star Cliff Floyd was intentionally walked because Washington manager Frank Robinson would rather […]
Minaya a Buyer – Reason for Optimism?
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. The day after I mentioned my (not so) secret formula for winning – score first, protect the lead, win the game – the Mets tried to follow it in beating the Nationals 5-3. Though they scored early on a Mike Cameron homer in the 1st they […]
Great Game
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. Everything worked for the Mets against the Phillies yesterday afternoon at Shea. Pedro Martinez pitches (6 IP, H, ER, 6 SO). Jose Reyes triples (his league leading 9th of the season). Chris Woodward gets 2 hits and knocks in 2 runs from the 8th hole in the […]
Mets End Skid
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. Carlos Beltran hit a 3 run homer in the 7 run 5th inning to give the Mets a lead they wouldn’t give up (no matter how hard Danny Graves tried). It was Beltran’s 8th homer of the year and first in a game not started by Pedro […]
D-Day for Graves
According to a report by Ken Rosenthal the Atlanta Braves have dropped out of the Danny Graves sweepstakes. That leaves the Mets and the Florida Marlins the last two teams in the race. Rosenthal says Graves will sign with one of the two teams today. I think it would be great if the Mets got […]
Victor-y Is Mine!
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. VÃctor Zambrano had another good outing last night. I think he may finally be coming into his own. Of course now that I wrote that he’s going to stink in his next start. Braden Looper, however, doesn’t need me to jinx him in order to stink […]
