PrintNew York Mets at Milwaukee Brewers, Sep 1, 2008 1:05 PM CDT
One more win, we hit .500. Two more, we guarantee the winning season.
If only I liked tiny samples more, I'd be really excited about this afternoon's matchup. Ben Sheets and Johan Santana go head to head for the second time this year--back in April, Sheeter came out on top.
I don't know exactly when all the callups will be joining the team, but it seems like the Triple-A guys have had time to make it to Milwaukee. Maybe if it's a blowout (unlikely, I know) we'll see the likes of Rottino and Brad Nelson. Mike Rivera, of course, will stick to his usual job of keeping the bench toasty warm.
Game time is 1:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

At least Rivera can show some leadership on what the bench guys should do when the team is batting. It could get crowded in the dugout if everyone just aimlessly mills around. So if the team has a well ordered, disciplined dugout during the home half of the inning it’s a positive reflection on Rivera’s veteran grittyness potential.
So...
… first team to get to the opponent’s pen wins, right?

Eric Seidman says we’s crazy, yo. This seems to be the prevailing national opinion.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
Lame
I can’t believe this is such a big deal. While I do believe that CC should have the no hitter awarded to him, I don’t think the way Nedly reacted in the post game conference was called for. He did not have to go off like that. Maybe instead he should have been talking about how it was great to get a sweep in Pittsburgh, a place that we usually get smacked around in!

he also says
“This is very similar to when announcers elude to the fact that if a certain run scored earlier in the game, their team would lead by two instead of one”
emphasis mine
so…announcers evade the truth? Sounds about right to me.
allude, you dumbass:P
Since Gamel was on the AAA roster as well, I'd imagine he's around to pinch-hit today
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)

Roster amusement
I checked the official site to see what uniform numbers got assigned to the callups (well, I knew the guys who were up earlier this year; the rest were mysterious mystery) and someone got their DiFelices mixed up. Mark is listed as a catcher.
we're adding like 5 catchers
what’s another one?

Courtesy of Brewerfan, Rottino's journey to Milwaukee
Rottino learned Saturday’s scheduled night game was being moved up to 11 a.m. because of the threat from approaching Hurricane Gustav. Before long, word came that the three remaining games of the series were being cancelled altogether.“If we would have played (Saturday), there would have been horrible traffic coming out of there,” Rottino said. “They said last time with Hurricane Katrina (in 2005), it took 15 hours to get from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. Usually, it’s a two- or three-hour trip.
”People who are leaving now are going to be struggling to get out of there. I mean, that thing is headed right for the coast."
At 9 a.m. Saturday, Rottino boarded a charter bus with his teammates for a nine-hour trip back to Nashville because Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans was being closed. Upon arriving at Nashville at around 6 p.m., Rottino immediately loaded his Mitsubishi Galant and drove five hours to Indianapolis, where he stayed the night.
And early Sunday morning, he was back on the road, with plans to make a quick visit in Racine with his parents, Tony and Marcia, before heading to Milwaukee.

I was at the first matchup between these two pitchers
so, iif we don’t have similar results this time, it’s all my fault for not buying a plane ticket to Milwaukee.
Hey…I’ll be in town at the end of this week though. I don’t think that I’ll have enough time to go to a game though, assuming the club is in town from Thursday through Sunday.

Keith Hernandez just called Braun an 'adventure' in left.
I’d agree with that.
Also, I kind of forgot how good the Mets’ TV announcers are. They’re sort of dicks, but they’re in a whole ’nother class than BA and Nails.
Proudly rock your Tararrel in public.
yes, it's nice that you aren't subracted outs for lack of grace.

Wow, I didn't foresee Hardy getting another triple, let alone to left

Yeah, no kidding
What did the Mets guys say about that?
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
They didn't break it back out for Murphy, unfortunately.
They were too busy making fun of JJ for waving at the first pitch more often than Jason Werth does.
Proudly rock your Tararrel in public.
Hardy has three triples in the last week
His previous career high in a season was one.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
'Murphy is having his hands full out there in left field.'
That’s what Keith said.
Cohn: The Mets haven’t been burned much for having a shitty outfield, but (end paraphrase)… ‘Murphy is having a very rough go of it …’

Prince has been killing us lately…
True, but he's faced like 15 straight lefties. And this is Santana.
Proudly rock your Tararrel in public.
i'll give you the Santana argument
but he’s even playing worse than his lefty split, which is pretty awful. I hadn’t realized he has a career OPS around .700 against lefties.

Sheets' stuff is not particularly impressive today

I'm sorry to keep posting stuff off of SNY ... but this is comical.
Hernandez, again, called our defense a ‘circus.’
They then started discussing the Sabathia/Bob Webb thing, and Cohn says: “And the Brewers, and their manager Ned Yost cried like five year olds after the game.”
Cohn continues: “That is a hit 100 percent of the time.”
Hernandez: “This is a team that has a chance to win the division. That’s what they should be worrying about.”
The SNY camera then mistakenly shows an image of Ted Simmons in the dugout, rather than Ned, and the announcers have to cover for the guy and say some nice stuff about Ted.
Proudly rock your Tararrel in public.
It's weird.
I watch the Brew on Extra Innings all the time, and the opposing announcers are never this vicious. Closest thing I can recall is the Cards’ guys making fun of Gagne for losing all of his velocity post-roids … but hey, Gagne probably deserved that.
Proudly rock your Tararrel in public.
True.
All this said, these dudes are pretty entertaining. I’d love it if they were my team’s regular guys. I’d pass out on the couch far less often.

Hell, Jason Hirsh pitched 5+ innings with a broken leg against the Brewers

Hmm, don't think Ben would be able to do that.

mlb.com article
“Since baseball expanded the playoffs in 1995, 86 of 112 leaders (in a division or Wild Card standings) went on to reach the playoffs. That’s a 76.7 percent success rate for the teams on top when the fireworks subsided on Labor Day. Conversely, only 17.9 percent of the leaders, or 20 teams, missed the playoffs after leading on Labor Day.”
um…and the other 5.4% of the time, they kinda sorta showed up for the playoffs, maybe?

Damn

And as always
Gagne sucks

Really?
Nothing else you want to add to that?

Dear g-d why?!?

It's not fair
By all rights, Mota should have given up that home run.

See that is the problem with a short outing by the starter
Our pen is just as bad as the Mets
Riskie Mota Gagne
pick your poison
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
Ned loves him
Ned believes in him. “If this team is going anywhere we need him.” Oh wait, that was Turnbow.
Don't want to wear out the bullpen
They only brought up 3 more pitchers today
by Marty McSuperFly on Sep 1, 2008 3:43 PM CDT up reply actions
but who did they bring up?
DiFelice? Stetter? Dillard?
I’m not seeing any quality options there either.
I don’t see why the brewers bothered with any of them. hell, bring up Pena before those clowns, even if he is cockblocked by Torres
Didn't say they were better
Just mocking the idea that he’d be saving the bullpen.

And still one more out to go

Maybe I really do have a Yosty-sense
Something was tingling today, that’s for sure.
by Marty McSuperFly on Sep 1, 2008 3:44 PM CDT up reply actions
And Hurricane Gagne overwhelms the Miller Park Levies
Sigh
Still got 6 outs to play with and the Mets pen sucks too
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
If only we had some more relievers
Perhaps that we’d called up just today.
C. Magruder scored, R. Weeks to second on balk
Ok lets do like we did when Gagne did this against the Nats
two innings to get back in front
We are not dead yet.
Plus Ned cannot bring in Riskie or Yost if we tie it up or get the lead
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
Just a little harder Brauny and you'd have had it perfect

Damnit chubs
You’re supposed to hit the ball

No More
Shane Victorino with an infield single. Is Bob Webb scoring that game too?
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

A homer would be so nice
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
"Pujols just unloaded." - Bob Uecker
that was supposed to be rhetorical
of course it does not deserve it, like one of Sackman’s puns
The Chubber Lang Report is back!!!
Errr, Sackmann?
Jeff needs two n’s. He’s not a sack man.

speaking of Jeff
anyone watch tennis today?
Monfils really lost his spirit early. Didn’t see the end, but it wasn’t looking good for him after 2.
You are so smrt
Smrt… I mean, smart
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden

And we still have one more inning to suffer through?
Ugh.

I only act like a girl if there's a cute animal... well, or during fun times
Otherwise, I’m my gamer-baseball loving-nympho self

So Sheets strained his groin... and I know how!
He’s was trying to become more attractive to the ladies.

Maybe ned's afraid of the old
Rivera subbing for Kendall and rupturing his achilles while hitting a foul ball into the dugout off of Salome’s head and Rotinno’s elbow
Luis Ayala... keeeeeeerriiiiiiist
I wonder if Ned will say that Gagne did really well except for one pitch
No!
Go to 3:14

If I quoted John, it'd have been 3:16
But I hate the Bible :-P

I should have a caution sign
