  • it's good to get the pedro injury out of the way in game two, you knew he'd get hurt but at least it's not september 15.


    Pedro hurt in Game 2, Moises hurt before the season even starts.

    Yea its not good, but I also heard, I think on Mike and Mike, that someone was on the plane with Pedro, and he wasn't limping at all, and so there is a possibility that he is not as badly hurt as originally thought.

    the fact that [pedro heard a " pop" insnt promising- but hey maybe its an mcl as opposed to an acl- hypothertically of course.

    Yea, it can't be good either way, really.

    Somehow the Mets strength (rotation) just went to a weakness...

  • My guess is June is the absolute earliest he'll be back. First he'll have to build up his legs back to full strength, then his arm. This is when trading away so much of the farm system comes back to bite you.

    Perhaps you're right, but I don't think the Mets gave up a pitcher who would have helped them this year. Carlos Gomez, yes. But he's an OF. No way Humber, Mulvey or Guerra could have stepped into the rotation nor the bullpen to aid the Mets in '08.

    Down the road, we could have a different story.

    I look for Petey to land back on the team after the All-Star Break. Pelfrey, Duque, and Sosa will have to fill in the gaps until then. At least we have Johan, Maine, and an excellent start by O. Perez last night.

    Awesome game last night. Pelfrey, Duque, are really going to need to step it up now.

    Pedro "Glass" Martinez - Hurt again. Bummer.

    This guys numbers would be even more mindblowing had he been able to stay healthy and had some offense and a bullpen in his early years in Boston.

    Pedro and Griffey Jr. would without argument be the greatest players of all time had they been able to stay healthy throughout their careers.
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    On to Atlanta and an ass-kicking of the Braves.

    Let's go John Maine!

    So Atlanta didn't work out all that well. Good effort from Johan yesterday, but the bats didn't pick him up.

    Home opener on Tuesday. Let's Go Mets!

    Its kind of sad that Johan might have been the Met to get the best wood on the ball yesterday.

    But what I was happy to see, was some pretty good defense by the Mets, and even when Santana clearly didn't have his best stuff, giving up a bunch of hits, and only 3 k's, he still managed to make it work.

    Now the bats just have to start hitting.

    Are the Mets going to have to put up 7-10 runs a game in order for the bullpen to secure the win?

    I thought sending MOTA to Milwaukee would cure a lot of this late-inning incompetence.

    Oh well. Phillies again today. Hope we play better in the final few frames.

    The mets need a new manager, look everyone likes ranolph, but man they never have any life late in games against the phils, and you have to point the finger at the manager.

    I must admit, I was watching one of the games in Florida last week when Beltran (or maybe it was Wright) hit what was clearly a homerun. The umpires had a quick conference and reversed the call to a double.

    So here comes Willie, walking onto the field with an incredulous look on his face and absolutely no passion in his voice or defense of his team. He just stood there and looked at the umpire, as though he knew he had to make an appearance but didn't really want to be there.

    Mets won the game, so it wasn't really a terrible offense by the umps. But, damn Willie, act like a manager who will actually stick up for his guys. I think he's a really good baseball man and handles his team pretty well, but every once and while I'd like him to go apeshit like Piniella. This Joe Torre-wannabe stuff has grown tired to this Mets fan.

    (They actually beat the Phillies last night, by the way.)

    Yea, but, in Willies defense, when the umps called what was clearly a hit by Reyes the other day an out, he went out and didn't give up until the umps reversed the call.

    Btw, its fucked up that Pelfrey has a win before Maine.

    Hopefully Johnny picks up his first tonight.

    Nice start by Figueroa (of all people) on Friday. I got to look at the clips briefly on Saturday morning while at work.

    Apparently, Johan couldn't stay away from serving up long-balls yesterday. He had some help from fielders committing errors from what I understand. I know he's not perfect, but he'd be a lot closer to it if he could get some help from the other eight when he pitches.

    I don't know if you caught yesterday's game, but it was painful.

    What is making me happy though is Delgado. He's finally hitting the other way, instead of always pulling. He's hitting really well, and finally looks comfortable at the plate. Hopefully we can see him do this all year.

  • So what do Met fans think of Johan Santana pretty much saying that the Mets have sucked? (his words, not mine)

    "If they boo, that's fine," Santana said. "That's the history they've got from not being so good, I guess."
  • xavier mcdanielxavier mcdaniel Somewhere in NYC Posts: 9,308
    Santana's not wrong. They boo on every little thing that goes wrong and while some yankee "fans" have booed jeter and rivera, it seems the instance something goes wrong no matter who it is, the boos come at shea stadium. It's some kind of paranoia or neurotic tendency that results in this for these segment of mets fans.

    Now I suppose it's part of the territory, New York, high salaries or whatever, but frankly it's stupid. The reality is that Johan Santana is going to make 30-plus starts and a few aren't going to be so great. Every good pitcher sucks from time to time. It's not an excuse. It's just something called reality. I understand booing Tom Glavine on his final start of last season when they collapsed but not sure I get booing Santana after an April start.

    I'm not so down with the booing. Sure, boo opponents, and especially people like Mota, or Benitez when they come back. By all means, please boo Chipper Jones. But, I don't like when people boo current Mets. It just brings a bad atmosphere to the team, and the game.

    By the way, the last two games made me really upset... Duh.
