    ok, he can go be accountable somewhere else. He's now in Igawa's class. I don't ever want to see him in a game. One thing that gets me about him---the way he kinda shows the ball to the hitter in is windup----wouldn't the really good hitters, or even shitty hitters with good eyesight, be able to pick up the grip he has on the ball, and know what pitch is coming? He's been in the league a long time, so if it that were true, obviously some coach would have noticed and changed his windup. But still.....


    and the rain delay---what was that all about. why couldn't they call it when Matsui was up? That's not why they lost the game, and Matsui hit a liner, so it may not have affected him---I just don't get why they told Joe no, no rain delay, then one pitch later, they called for it. I've noticed this year, last few years actually, that they are playing in much worse conditions than they used to. Big time players are going to get hurt one day, playing in conditions like Matsui's at bat tonight. Could you imagine if Markaikis blew out a knee chasing a ball in that slop tonight? Or Brian roberts?

    he's not going anywhere, but he's better than half these guys who say they had good stuff and made a few bad pitches. (makes you want to interject and say, yeah, a few bad pitches that just happened to go 400 feet).

    I know, he'll be here all year. Him and his bloated 6.75 ERA. I just didnt want him in the game tonight, even knowing they were pretty much out of relievers. He only got one out, and it was near the warning track. No bloopers, everything was hit hard. I was hoping for a starter on his throw day to come in for the save. Not sure who that could have been, but something like what the Reds did the other day, Harang coming in the 13th for 4 IP, and Volquez behind him for 1 + IP.

    They could have brought in Wang for an inning or two but Girardi probably just wanted to make sure he had no other options left before that happened.

    Where the hell did that Banning thread go? I wanted to say NYpj1 was a cool guy even though he's pro-NYC all the way. He'll be missed for sure.

    As much as I hate "The Giambino", I'm sure glad to see him hitting like he has been lately. Would love to see him keep it up, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Pettitte/Joba going tonight. What is going to be interesting is what happens next week when IPK's spot in the rotation rolls around. Who gets the start? Pettitte? Joba? Karstens?

    I think they get deleted most expeditiously :)

    I went down there to the park, I didn't see Cone?
    Leiter was there and a few other 'old timers' that I can't recall at this moment but there was a big line for them. Oh Bucky Dent was down there.

    I guess Joba. Since they're gonna up him to 75 pitches his next outing. And that could be 5 innings if he throws 15 an inning.

    Bucky Dent was my favorite player when I was a kid playing tee ball because I played shortstop like him. I was not a happy camper when the Yanks pushed him to the side and signed the overated Roy Smalley from the Twins. Then they traded Dent to the Rangers for...........Lee Mazzilli. Oh how I hated George of the 80's. And I was just a kid.

    Kevin Elster had crushes on a lot of women back in those days, was a noted woman chaser on the road from what I've read in various books about the Mets.

    I saw his ex-wife on like Phil Donahue or something like that. That's when I stopped liking him!
