Yankees tonight...YAWN!!!

Nice job Mets.

Humpdebump · 05-20-2011, 10:30 PM

It's always fun to play the Yanks, and it was a good game. Both pitchers were good but where the he'll was the crowd. It just seemed to me to be very weak for a subway series. Hopefully the next two hames the crowd will be more I to it.

R.A. Dickey looked good (despite his 1-5 record) and the Mets held on to win 2-1.

kelmac07 · 05-21-2011, 10:42 AM

Mets back at .500 and KRod has 15 saves...didn't realize he had that many...one behind the league leader, and Jose Reyes is tied for the league lead in SB with 16.

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, 08:32 PM

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

kelmac07 · 05-22-2011, 08:26 AM

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

Tell that to Arron Boone

MedicCook · 05-22-2011, 03:42 PM

Yankees take 2 of 3.

kelmac07 · 05-22-2011, 03:44 PM

Thanks a lot Pelfrey!!

YOU SUCK!!!

MedicCook · 05-22-2011, 03:46 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.

MedicCook · 05-22-2011, 03:52 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, 04:02 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, 08:03 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, 11:42 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....
