K-rod has 15 saves but 20 finishes.
If he gets 55 finishes a 19 million option gets picked up.

I think Reyes is first in hits as well.

Let's go #54!!!

Reyes is tied for first in hits with two others. 1st in triples too!!

For whatever reason, Yankees have always had problems with knucklers. Hell, Phil Niekro could likely still shut them down.

Humpdebump · 05-21-2011, 07:32 PM

Wow... 4 out of 6 hits that Capuano gave up were homeruns

Tell that to Arron Boone

Yankees beat Capuano around like he was a little league pitcher last night.

Thanks a lot Pelfrey!!

YOU SUCK!!!

MedicCook · 05-22-2011, 02:46 PM

He pitched decent until the 7th. That was a bad inning for the Mets.

Exactly!! 6 good innings...only to piss it away in the 7th. He has so not lived up to his expectations when the Mets drafted him. After 5 1/2 years in the league...you'd think he learn something...NOPE!! HE SUCKS!!! When the firesale starts next month...I hope he's the second to go, right after Beltran.

Well, here's perhaps a bigger difference between the two leagues than the DH one. In the AL it is considered a quality start if the pitcher gives you 6 good innings before the game is put into the hands of the bullpen. In the NL they seem to expect more innings out of the starter . . . which may work just fine within the league, what with the normally lighter hitting, but can bite you during interleague play.

Of course, to have success by turning games over to the bullpen to close, one first need have a bullpen.

Now the media is saying that later this week there is a Sports Illustrated article coming out where Wilpon says he might cut payroll by 30%. are you kidding me.....

MedicCook · 05-22-2011, 02:52 PM

I think you will see the Mets as a contender in 2013. They really need to look into moving the walls in. It's going to be hard to sign any big HR hitters until they do that.

Based on What?

There minor league system ranks among the league's worst.
Reports are that they will cut payroll by half.
Reyes is most likely gone, Wright can't carry the team, and Santana will be gone by then.

I think they're gonna be as awful as they are now come 2013

Never pegged you for a Met sympathizer, Ryan!

MedicCook · 05-22-2011, 03:02 PM

They have two of the best GM's in baseball who will get them turned around. Reyes is going to be great trade bait this summer for them.

Humpdebump · 05-22-2011, 07:03 PM

Hate to say it, but props to the Yanks... They Mets won't be a contender until the Wilpons sell the team. It's a pretty damn shame that you play in New York with a brand new stadium and your own network and you nickel and dime. Yes I know about the Madoff scheme but they have been doing this for years before all that happened.

Humpdebump · 05-23-2011, 10:42 AM

Just read the Post where Wilpon rips the Mets players. Saying Wright is a good player not a superstar, Reyes is not Carl Crawford and won't get his money and that Beltran was signed by some schmuck bases on a post season. Noe Wright and Reyes might noy be superstars but they are big enough to sell tickets and jerseys, and both of them pretty much do a good job on and off the field. When Beltran was a free agent, every Met fan, including myself wanted him. Besides the injuries the last couple of years, he's been a decent player. You can't predict injuries and if he never got them and put up numbers that he usually did no one would be *****ing, including me. But for an owner to come out and say that about his players is completely wrong. Yes steinbrener did it but Wilpon is no steinbrener. If he saw something wrong, he went out and fixed it. He didn't care what the cost was, he's in new York and wld put out a competitive team. Do us all a favor Fred and SELL THE TEAM...., sorry for rant....

Good rant, if he had spent what he lost in the Madoff thing, on the team,
he would be filling seats and be a brand like the Bombers, maybe even a TV service of his own. But he was greedy and neglectfull, now he`s crying about his signings, there`s no crying in Baseball.

kelmac07 · 05-24-2011, 06:59 PM

And he bashes his own players???

I sense some turmoil for the next few months.

MedicCook · 05-24-2011, 07:01 PM

Wilpon is no George Steinbrenner.

Agreed... George went out and got things done when things got bad. He let the players know if they didn't perform he would go out and get someone that can. Wilpon is going to use Beltrans contract as an excuse not to sign any big time players to any long term deals. The ship is sinking fast but yet he's so bullheaded he won't jump.
