I was at the game last night and Perez looked awesome, his breaking stuff was breaking all over the place. A few moments of wildness but he overcame it. Looked very serious during warm ups as opposed to most guys (outside of Glavine) who seem to be very loosey goosey this time of year. Lot's of Sox fans in the crowd and extra security down the fould lines and in the stands prevented a lot of the fans from getting close to the players for pics and autographs which sucks because that is one of the appeals of coming to Spring training. Omar was working the crowd, walking around before and during the game saying hello to everybody. Reyes was safe on that steal to second base. Wish I saw more of Endy then just one pitch. Super Jow McEwing got a nice hand from both the Sox and Mets fans. Heading down to the game in Jupiter again tonight... will post pics when I get home EDIT: Delgado was really giving it to big Papi and Manny for striking out so much. On Papi's third strike out he actually yelled at him from across the field and Papi stopped and I don't know what Delgado said but the whole Mets side started cracking up at him and Papi walked away shaking his head. Seems the Mets and Sox players get along well. PS nice to see Hojo down at first base. Fans still love him.
I will never watch another Met game again. Sending Jose Reyes down to learn how to catch is the worst thing I ever heard of in my life. Only in Mets Land.
Interesting article about Manny Acta's philosophy http://www.washingtontimes.com/sports/20070221-115118-3574r.htm It's a shame this guy got away as he clearly "gets it". I wonder how he felt when Willie was making some of his lame brained gut decisions.
Yes. Joking. Just joshing on past Met mistakes like trading Scot Kazmir and -Kaz Matsui at shortstop and moving Jose Reyes to second (talk about joking!). But in serious mode, I did read today that the Mets will most probably have the BEST outfield in baseball in the minors this year to start at New Orleans.....Ben Johnson, Lastings Milledge, and Carlos Gomez. AND people talking about the Mets having an OLD starting pitching staff, but three of their starters with high-upside are under 26....John Maine, Oliver Perez, and Mike Pelfrey: AND I read yesterday, talk about potential Jim Duquette deals, when the Mets traded for Sandy Alomar Jr. to play second, one of the players they offered was Jose Reyes, but Baltimore did not feel they knew enough about Reyes to ask for him in the deal.
Chan Ho, Sosa and Sele all got smoked yesterday, making Willie's choose pretty easy on Pelfrey. I just hope Willie's love for vets won't cloud his judgement (i.e. Zambrano, Ishii, and Lima)
the Mets will not need a fifth starter to at least two weeks into the regular season, I expect Pelfrey will start at New Orleans and then get recalled.
Thanks MM. I have about 500 more so I will go through them and pic out some of the good ones and post them up here for my friends at TGG. I just got home late last night so I haven't really had much time to process them yet.
nice pics am i the only Met fan gettin a baaadd feeling about this season? i mean I know it's only spring Training........but the pitching situation is getting more questionable every day...........and i just don't like all of the losses
Quite the opposite for me, I have a great feeling about this year. Winning spring games means absolutely nothing and the pitching will be fine, possibly better than fine.
