sweetheart-mine Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 did you see how cute he was? He got dirty and everything. Much cuter in a red sox uniform than that ghey pic of him in a pirates uniform sitting in the sand. What was THAT about?he looks like a farmer to me (that's a good thing, not bad). no, i missed him sitting in the sand. maybe he didn't like his uniform at the time? Link to post Share on other sites
sweetheart-mine Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 It was a very nice welcome. He shyly went to tip his helmet, too. I dvr'd the LAD game to watch Manny's debut, as well. I agree it's energized the fan base and I'd imagine the clubhouse, too.oh yah, it was a great welcome -- it really surprised me, i don't think i'd ever seen that before. it might help put the entire team back on track.

bjorn_skurj Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 God damn fucking fucker ass Heilman AGAIN! And Wagner and the rest of those bums.

That article was a beaitiful example of logical thinking about a fairly confusimg subject. For as sure as lammy or I may feel we are, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

bjorn_skurj Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thorn is awesome. I think Holtzman's original proposal for the save would have been a better metric than what they eventually adopted. Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 ESPN has been reading this board for story ideas: The Most Overrated Position in Sports Francisco Rodriguez is racking up the saves but hasn't entered a game before the ninth inning or with a runner on base all season. That's actually startling. Makes me even less impressed with his season. At least Paps has gone in a few times when his team actually needed him. Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 The only reason I am not using a lot of intemperate language to describe Aaron Heilman's performance tonight is that the Mets actually won the game, despite his severe suckitude. Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Betancourt is, to put it in a scientific way, sucking dick tonight. Three runs in an inning? Seriously? We are going to not have our Rays sweep anymore. Damnit. Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Sweet, looks like we will only drop a game in the entire series vs. the Rays. The only question is, if we have such a good record vs. the Rays, why don't we even have a decent record to begin with? Link to post Share on other sites
