Re: baseball

maine was unreal. i have been going on and on about this kid all year, and he comes through. fook.yes. wagner sucks,and yet again, reyes proved he is the best player ont he team, not beltran. god damn that kid reminds me of a young jeter with mroe speed, little differences.

maine's post game news conference was great. you can see something about him that makes him great for NY, smart ass remarks, but nothing mean, just humor and wit. he is focused on the mound, makes pitches when he needs to.

tonight.play or go home. cant ask for more. ('cept an AL series going 7 too)

Re: baseball

when we left bases loaded in the first i knew it was going to be that kind of night.

Re: baseball

that sucked. gotta give it up to Maine, tho, he pitched quite a game, esp. for a rookie in a tough spot. We looked awful up until the 9th, but by that time, it was too little, too late.

I'll be curious to see if Rolen starts tonight. He's looked really flat at the plate this postseason, and even his defense was subpar last night. He did come through with a big hit in the 9th last night, and they'll almost certaily be facing a lefty, so that might solidify his spot...

Re: baseball

1. rolen will ask to be traded, as not just the FOX assholes are saying he hasnt spoken a word to his teammates this series.

2. larussa is a dickhead, i watched the post games, and frankly, this guy doesnt give anyone credit. he over manages everything, and drags the game out so badly. he is good, but overrated and annoying.

3. yet another line item for NY media to destroy albert last night. his reaction to ''pujols sucks'' chants was caught on the TV, and just gave NY more fire.

4. ekstein is an extremely underrated feilder outside of st lou.s

Re: baseball

clutch time for cards. was disappointed to listen to the game on the way home last night. thought the cards would have it. good luck Jenks and Toasty, I hope your teams wins tonight. They are one of the few teams that actually deserve to be in the WS.

kobe, at 345 yesterday i was talking to my boy phil, i DIE hard, life long mets fan. he was glass half empty yesterday though. oh yeah, FYI, i dont talk shit to him cuz i he respects the game like i do, i.e. he can watch an arizona, tampa bay game like me and enjoy it. but back to business. he was all depressed about hernandez and i told him
''dude, maine is your best pitcher on the staff, (something i have been saying since his second start and i noticed how much he reminds me of rivera), and he will go 6 and give up 3". well if willy didnt pull him, he was gonna make me look me bad, but dude, that kid is a stud. if they dont have him in the rotation next year, the ACLU should investigate minaya's racial hiring practices if sanchez is in there instead.

glad to see that the reporters and omar minaya were listening to me, cuz today in the NY papers, a few of them compare maine to rivera in style. damn, im good.

Re: baseball

for the mets fans

i am listening to the fan right now here in NY. caller calls in and gives the perfect situation...

10 run lead in the 9th. 2 outs. pujols on deck. willie brings in glavine to drill albert, then pick him off at first to win... hahahhahhahaha.

Re: baseball

what this series boils down to is this:

we're both essentially playing for the chance to get our asses kicked in the world series.

I dunno, I think Detroit has been riding a tidal wave of momentum which now has to somehow sustain itself during a week long hiatus. I agree that the Mets/Cards are slugging it out to the death and the Tigers will be rested, but this is still the same team that stumbled their way into the playoffs... without that Yankee beating momentum, they are no juggernaut.

because we're good ol boys. er something...

Re: baseball

add in the fact that the tigers are playing great small ball and can throw 5 aces at you.... one being in the pen with zumaya. and thier staff in general is the best there is right now.
