How many of you want Penny Lane?
yes, I think so.
What goes through Jerry Manuel’s mind when trotting out to the pitchers mound to bring in a reliever?
Fire me please
HAHA IETC
“Do you really want to hurt me.
Do you really want to make me cry.”
He’s done a great job for what he’s playing with
Mets=Fail
CC sits right?
Did they say if Sabathia is done or not?
He is at 89 and I’d love to see what I call the ” Bear Roar” from CC.
99?
I’m looking at 89-61S bro.
its 99-67
it’s 99-67 i reckon
99
Sorry you guys are correct. I stand corrected. My fantasy thing failed me.
They’re gonna balk a run in.
Pah-nell is da mets’ joba
with fielding like that, there is no way ARod was out with Kate late last night. he obviously learned his lesson.
oops, not meant to be a response here. oh well.
I definitely do Kate Hudson. Nice catch A-Rod.
I think Kate has issues with her choice of men.
Who has more upside, Gardner or Melky? Melky is a whisker younger, I think, but Brett has less MLB experience. Which matters more?
I think neither one of them has much upside, to be honest. But, I guess Gardner has a little more because of his on base skills, speed, and defense.
But I thought Bobby Parnell was the new 8th inning guy who’s untouchable?!?!?
So much for that huh?
Mets TV broadcasters: “Gardner leads AL rookies in BA, OBP, Runs, and SB”
In the words of the late great Carnac: “I did not know that.”
ROY?
Hell yeah!!!!
Get me pah-cellos stats!
he loves porcello, even though he goes 5.2 on average
I love how he apparently said no one knew who Porcello was coming into this season.
i believe the quote is: YOU NEVER HEARD OF HIM
Haha, oh ignorance. I’m actually very impressed by Porcello’s showing this year. I thought, though, he’d be more of a strikeout guy, but I guess not.
Always heard he was a sinkerballer so I never really expected high Ks, but for the money they gave him I guess you’d expect a high K guy rather then a Wang/Pelfry
I always heard about the good curveball.
CUZ WE WAS GAGA OVAH JOBBER
I love that line! he sounds like a gremlin!
I know…am I the only one sensing Francesa’s hypocrisy when it comes to Joba? When another young pitcher throws 5 innings its cool, but when Joba does it there’s no ice in his diet coke?
And I’ll teach Alex a lesson
If he keeps it up, he has a really good shot but I wonder if media bias will keep it away from him.
Porcello should win it, unless they shut him down in August due to innings
Cahill’s in the conversation. He’s been tremendous of late, 3.15 ERA since May 1st.
True, but if A’s finish last and Tigers win the division or get 85+ wins I think it’ll go to Porcello. But its still more then half the season to go, their numbers could blow up anytime
I keep forgetting he still qualifies as a rookie.
LeBron and Shaq wearing 23 and 33…like Jordan and Pippen
GRIT GUTNER!
I wipe my own ass….
Good now Mo can get a save chance. Tomko is in.
Does Gardy still qualify as a Rook?
I say it every night and I will continue to say it–Rodriguez’s arm is incredible.
i still think he is a top 5 SHORTSTOP if he decided to go back to it today
That’s a bold statement.
He still has great range and only Hanley ramirez is better at the moment for all around game.
He definitely does not have great range anymore. I think he’d be a below average to average SS in terms of range.
I think he could drop 15- 20lbs easy and get his “mobility” back.
A ROD IS BACK BABY!
No lead is Tomko proof
Wait, so Al is better than D-Wright? Huh.
A-Rod doesn’t look 43 tonight @ 3rd
He must read Buster Olney’s blog
I hope he’s framed it and posted it in his locker.
ARod looks great tonight!
And he’s playing pretty well, too.
Did we ever find out how much payola we got for Veras?
20,000 dollars
its more than that
no its not, it was 20gs
cash said it was more than 20000 i thought
I think we had to give them that much to take him.
20 g’s plus a ’02 Civic.
so this is david murphy mets fans were drooling over?
daniel
Tomko was effective?
HELL YEAH!
Watch out Bahstan, here we come =)
Myyyyy has the mood changed around here.
Now if only we could get Bruney to pitch the 9th, finish them off, do a fist pump and then point to the sky this would be a perfect game.
Pena. Nice.
Gardy plays 120 games, hits .290/.370/.400, 80 runs, with a bunch of steals…
Porcello goes 12-8, 4.15 ERA, 148 IP
Does Gardy have a chance at ROY?
Gardner would win that cause if he gets on base that much he’d get 40-50 steals.
But doubt the numbers will end like that
I think the anti-Yankee thing would do him in…and you’re right, that’s a rosy projection for Gardy. But it could happen.
david cone, i think ur great, but STFU!
srsly. I like Cone until this comes around.
The Yankees don’t just need Joba in the rotation now, David. They need him in the rotation later as well.
How the hell does Joba to the bullpen discussion during a game with CC and Tomko pitch and yankees winning 7-1?
Hughes has nothing to do with Joba not going to the pen, Bruney getting healthy and Coke/Drob improving puts that talk to rest
He’s a kid and he seems to be getting better.
Really? How weird Michael.
Now steal home Brett
Gardner 5 hit game, congrats
Brett Gardner is completely godly tonight.
GRIT GUTNER WITH 5 HITS
HOLY SHEET!
That’s it I gotta get my a Grit jersey.
Well I guess the weak lineup with 4 pitchers in there worked out OK. Go Brett!!!
Ramiro Pena. Is he our Randy Velarde?
Belt for Brett tonight.
Fuck. If CC wasn’t on in front of him earlier in the game and Gardner got that double, he would have cycled.
Keep cranking them Yanks!! Who-hoo!!
Gardy at .303! WTF
Johnny says these whippersnappers are showing us up..
Gardner is a beast.
Kay just said “He must b e feeling good about life.” LOL
Mets fans are jumping off the Worlds Fair globe.
If I were a Met fan I would have jumped after Beltran got injured.
any met fans left after the last 2 septembers?
Was that hit by pitch intentional?
nah slide piece.
/Morgan’d
yeah losing 9-1 they’re sending a message
so now we’re beating a decimated Mets. Thank you Michael Kay.
Well, I don’t see Matsui, Swisher, Posada or Jeter in the starting lineup either.
We are soooo old!!!
teh sox have grit jizzing of their unif-ams. that’s why cap’n tek is teh all-stah and posada is teh suxor!
Who the hell is Ted? Roomate, BFF or lovah lovah?
The requisite fat bald guy shot.
Exactly how long would Gardner have to keep this up (not THIS type of game of course….just, say, .280ish/.370/.400) before anyone changed their minds about him long term? Not goin crazy on him, just wondering.
I’d say the whole season.
what’s long term though? hes not going to block ajax
whoa whoa whoa…so Gardy is 2nd on the Yanks in BA now? oh shit that’s whats up!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t believe that if CC goes to 3rd Gardner gets a double and hits for the cycle.
Kay updates us on the position change with 2 strikes left. Good catch Kay.
YANKEES WIN!!
THAAAAAA YANKEES, WIN!
Yay Tomko! Yay win! Just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
yay beer!
That ALWAYS sounds right…
Player of the game? Hmmmmm…..could it be Sa….I mean Gritner?
Did a Yankee fan punch Mr. Met in the head?
Sweet.
assisted suicide
Amazing night by Gardner. Going 5-6 w/ a triple, a homer, and a steal makes his stats now good enough to qualify as an all-star! .811 OPS, 17 of 19 steal attempts while playing excellent defense in center is something that any team would love.
Those stats are so much prettier than his .747 OPS pre-game!
Gardner sounds like he’s from Jersey and he’s from South Carolina. Where did he get that accent?
Born in SC, college in SC too
Nady out for the year..ugh.
Gardner should be getting any ABs Nady would have gotten. The haters need to recognize.
Word.
