Nice close for Rivera.

So, Glavine made #300, Bonds is on the cusp of #756 (ugh), A-Rod made #500, Big Hurt made #500, Sosa made #600, and dudes like Manram and Thome are extremely close to #500 as well and could make it this year.

Is this possibly the record breaking-est season ever?

Griffey should make 600, too.

"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

You know, it's funny. But for the life of me, I don't see a Mets World Series Championship in the past, oh, 20 years or so.

Hey, I'm not the one talking about "the best rotation in baseball."

 

[siamesedreamer]

Wild Card now. Red Sox next. Suck it down haters.

Yes.......if only every team could get to play 15 out of 26 games against TB and KC.

Are you stupid?

 

[captmcblack]

Right. Because the Yankees never played and beat good teams this season - in either league. And nobody else got to play lots of games against shitty teams. Okay.

Man, we keep winning and the taste of tears will be so delicious.

Are you stupid?

No, perhaps I should type more clearly so you can more easily understand, though.

Obviously, having the best rotation in baseball for a decade did not help you win more championships. You can brag about them all you want, but in the end, it didn't do anything for you.

Also, I <3 <3 <3 Yankee day games. LET'S GO DANDY ANDY.

 

[captmcblack]

Oh yeah, that Biggio guy. :lol

 

[Link]

Damn, Cards have scored 8 runs on 8 straight hits so far this inning and there's still no outs.

EDIT - This is getting hilarious.

 

[jman2050]

Hey dude did Frankman make that bet with jman?

Yes. And it'll be awesome to see him exiled from the OT come October. The playoff thread should be so much better as a result

Your current hot streak has coincided with a run against extremely shit teams. Let's see how your precious Lolkees do once they start playing real teams again.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Like I said before the All-Star break, the Yankees REAL test happens between Aug 10-30th. 21 straight games against playoff calibur teams (and Baltimore a team they have had problems with).

 

[Y2Kev]

Well, at least they're doing what they should be. Which is not something they were earlier in the year. I can't get on them for sweeping teams they need to sweep.

Yep.

Fair enough. So the rest of this month is the test, then. We'll see what happens.

Let's go to war, boys!

 

[Windu]

he is a met fan......

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Oh no doubt. They've done exactly what they needed to do during this stretch against bad teams. Let's see if they can keep it up.

 

[Matrix]

Mr.Bob cries tonight.

 

[siamesedreamer]

Lincicum even has a hitch in his stroke. :lol

Dude thinks he's Barry......

 

[Link]

I swear, Houston plays more extra-inning games than any team.

 

[super funk]

Everybody always forgets about poor Chuck.

 

[siamesedreamer]

Nook Logan can fly.....

My buddy played JuCo with him in Mississippi. He ran a 6.2 second 60 yard dash for a scout one afternoon. He said Nook was the fastest guy he ever timed.

Too bad Detroit tried to make him a switch hitter. That really screwed up his development.

 

[rc213]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[scottnak]

Woohoo!! Victory and another bomba. This whole concept of a "home run" actually happening is nice...

 

[Joe]

is there a website with a list of most sabermetric formulas?

 

[Joe]

joba chamberlain in the bullpen....TONIGHT!

edwar ramirez will join him later in the week...

yankees unlikely to trade farnsworth

 

[pollo]

Jaba tonight? awesome.

 

[captmcblack]

All of Torre's "boys" are being removed, so he'll have to go with the better players instead.

Cairo DFA CONFIRMED.

 

[siamesedreamer]

AT

Game 1: Carlyle vs. Perez
Game 2: Smoltz vs. Lawrence
Game 3: Hudson vs. Hernandez

Don't trade him. DFA him.

Trading farnsworth to another team will cause another 50 years of Yankee hatred among that team's fanbase. And most people were just beginning to forget about us and hate barry exclusively!

 

[super funk]

Game 1: Carlyle vs. Perez
Game 2: Smoltz vs. Lawrence
Game 3: Hudson vs. Hernandez

Total number of runs to be scored this series=7.
And 5 of them will be against this Buddy guy tonight.

Edit: On second look, this is different than the schedule that Im seeing in the newspaper today. Newsday has El Duque for Game 2 and Maine for Game 3. I hope Newsday is right because thats much better for the Mets.

 

[kIdMuScLe]

wow them dodgers are suckin balls right now. well there is always next year. and can we please get a new manager or something.

 

[Windu]

Game 1: Carlyle vs. Perez
Game 2: Smoltz vs. Lawrence
Game 3: Hudson vs. Hernandez

I thought I read somewhere that Maine was pitching game 3, I would have liked to see that duel.

edit: oh nvm ^ i should read other people's posts.

 

[siamesedreamer]

Yeah, those are all according to ESPN.

 

[Triumph]

Didn't do ANYTHING? I don't know... I'm looking back at the 90's, and every year the division was won, we won it. We went to half of the World Series played that decade and yes, we won one of them.

All of which, if I'm remembering correctly, are much, much more than "not doing anything". Or less than that, which is what the Mets did in the same time frame.

 

[Kuroyume]

nvm

 

[ToxicAdam]

Does beating the Indians really count as a World Series victory?

 

[Triumph]

nvm

What was that? Were you gonna say something? How about a friendly avatar wager on the outcome of this series? Oliver Perez can only pitch once for you guys. What do you say, Metkee?

And TA, of COURSE it still counts. Beating the Braves still counted for the Twins, Jays and Yanks (twice, ugh).

 

[Kuroyume]

I was getting pumped up for tonight. :lol

I don't know about an avatar bet. I think I'm 0 and 2 with you.

 

[The Frankman]

I don't know about an avatar bet. I think I'm 0 and 2 with you. :lol

Wait until you get to account bets :lol.

C'mon man, it's August. This is what us Mets fans waited for. Yeah Beltran is out but they're playing well and have Ollie pitching Game 1.

 

[Triumph]

Oh, so no Mets fanladies want to make an avi bet with me? Loser has to wear winner's choice until the next Braves-Mets series.

 

[The Frankman]

When is the next bravos-Mets series? I might be game.

 

[Windu]

When is the next bravos-Mets series? I might be game.

end of August

 

[siamesedreamer]

End of August?

Hell, I'll bet.......

 

[siamesedreamer]

New York Times - Talk among some baseball executives the past week was that the Braves’ new owner, John Malone of Liberty Media, has told his new employees to spend money to improve the chances of making the playoffs. Liberty Media, it was said, wants to be a big player — like the Red Sox.

[The Frankman]

hey Kuroyome, how about you and me vs. siamese and triumph on an avi bet? These bravos fans are getting to uppity.

 

[Windu]

LINK

Its nice having owners that care about winning for a change, and not about their bottom line.

 

[Kuroyume]

FINE! Frankman and I challenge both you turds to an avatar bet. It lasts until the next series. YOU PUNKS ARE GOING DOWN!

 

[jman2050]

Make sure Frankman gets a particularly embarrassing avatar. Like say, a Chinese kimono or something.

 

[Triumph]

Frankman will be getting something truly horrifying. I'm working on it as we speak.

 

[siamesedreamer]

OH ITS ON!!!!!!
