Interleagues…Cool!

Yanks win, Mets win.

Yanks have the best record in the league in 1-run ballgames at 8-2 (runner-up is LAD at 9-3; no one else is even close).  I don’t go back far, but I have never seen a Yankee team walk off this many games.  I’m glad I left the NYDN pages leaving everybody thinking I was Melky’s biggest fan (actually, I led the lynch mob to Melky’s locker last year, but that’s besides the point). Can’t say enough about what Alex Rodriguez is bringing to this team right now.  For those that watch closely these last few years, he even looks like a different person, as if he’s trying to ignore the camera – surely a monumental feat for His Alex-ness.  No, I don’t care that he’s batting .200.

Tampa is a chosen destination these days.

I humbly bestow upon the Mets the title of “Honorary Yankees”.  Kind of like Jrz said (incidentally, he’s our second winner EVAH of the 2-for-3 and doesn’t seem to stop winning):

Gas and tolls: $55

Admission Ticket and Parking: $125

Beer and Hot Dog: $25

Pegging KY and tattooing Papelpout while watching those New England babies lose their collective composure not being able to scratch out a series win versus the 86ers:  PRICELESS.  Go to the “Mets win” link above, click on the “Wright Saves the Day” video link to see Castillo weather a nasty Youkilis slide for the out and Jon Papelbon lose his mind.  Hard to understate what it could mean psychologically to the Red Sox and their fans to drop a series to the Mets as the bruises are just starting to soften from Manny’s dethroning.  The Boston toilet may have just been flushed.

Eeesh…K-Rod collapsing…

  1. Mauer would have been the potential tying run right now if they don’t score in the top of the ninth.

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:08 pm

  2. If you are going to PH Mauer for Redmond down 2 with 2 out, why not for Buscher with 1 out?

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:10 pm

  3. how boutcha papelbon?

    jrzinbatonrouge May 25, 2009 at 5:11 pm

  4. Mauer homers off Papelpuke. Red Sux up 6-5.

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:11 pm

  5. I’m watching The Red Sox game on my FREE MLB.COM. Home run, Twins off of Papelbohn

    coltsoriolesbullets1971 May 25, 2009 at 5:15 pm

  6. Why let a .190 hitter bat against Papelbon in the ninth hoping to get to Mauer with the tying runs on?

    Is Span hurt? Crede? Both on the bench.

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:15 pm

  7. Red Sox win. Papelbon gets the save.

    coltsoriolesbullets1971 May 25, 2009 at 5:15 pm

  8. Papelbon: 1 IP. 2 HITS. 2 RUNS. Gets credit for the save.

    coltsoriolesbullets1971 May 25, 2009 at 5:16 pm

  9. Crede day-to day. I would rather have him hit with 1 hand then send Buscher there. What about Span?

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:17 pm

  10. Today, you don’t have to be a fireman to get a save. you can be an incinerator, and still get the save.

    coltsoriolesbullets1971 May 25, 2009 at 5:18 pm

  11. I love the 3 run save rule. What a joke.

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:18 pm

  12. Why didn’t Gardenhire pinch hit for Buscher there?

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:19 pm

  13. Remember in 2000, when people like Mike Francesca were saying that Armando benitez was “lights out” in getting 40 saves in 41 tries? And he defended Valentine for using him? well, Francesca and others that strictly went by the save statistic were NO using their lying eyes, and their lying instincts. neother was Valentine.

    coltsoriolesbullets1971 May 25, 2009 at 5:19 pm

  14. I hope those fans in Japan win their crusade and Valentine becomes Emperor of Japan. They can have him.

    Franco was the same way Shoe, piling up saves and he was brutal.

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:21 pm

  15. Same scenario on year later. Benitez gets 41 saves in 42 tries in 2001. Then he comes in and blows it twice against The Braves in late September. Again, Francesca said “You can’t blame Valentine, because Benitez was lights out all season long before that.” YES YOU CAN blame Valentine. And NO HE WAS NOT lights out.

    coltsoriolesbullets1971 May 25, 2009 at 5:21 pm

  16. A Mets fan on The Ny Daily News defended Francisco Rodriguez when he got a save, but nearly blew it two weeks ago. There was an error, but Rodriguez still gave up three hits, a walk, and two runs. The Mets fan said “Just finish the damn game.” When I confronted him on his logic, he backpeddled, got off the subject by bringing up Mariano Rivera. That’s why I almost never post on that dildo, jerk-me-off site any more. Too many cunts that are ready for a fight at the drop of a dime, and have no objectivity.

    coltsoriolesbullets1971 May 25, 2009 at 5:24 pm

  17. Francesa will have plenty of crow to eat tomorrow with the Mets taking 2 of 3 up at Funway. Of course he’ll say that he never said anything about the Mets being lucky to win 1 game. He’ll say they were lucky to win 2.

    I’d rather be lucky than good any day.

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:26 pm

  18. Papelbon can’t be happy with his performance the last couple of outings.

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:27 pm

  19. I wish I could hear Gardenhire’s press conference as to why he let Buscher hit instead of ph Span.

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 5:28 pm

  20. Francesa gives the Red Sox much more credit than they deserve and the Mets much less credit than he should.

    macphisto1 May 25, 2009 at 6:03 pm

  21. I think Francesa is doing it just to rile up his audience at this point. His show is a snooze fest without the other guy. He has 5 and a half hours to fill and he doesn’t do it well alone.

    Leviathan May 25, 2009 at 7:09 pm

  22. JOHN MAINE is pitching tonight! I don’t fucking believe it!!!!

    coltsoriolesbullets1971 May 25, 2009 at 8:28 pm

  23. I can’t believe that John Maine is pitching tonight! He’s going to WIN!!! He’s going to win 22 games this season.

    coltsoriolesbullets1971 May 25, 2009 at 8:46 pm

  25. JOHN MAINE pitched 6 innings, and gave up one run! Almost as good as Guthrie today. Guthrie pitched SEVEN INNINGS, and gave up one run.

  30. JRZ: Gambling is a losing game. I know that you don’t want to hear that, but it’s true. If it weren’t, the casinos would all be out of business in a week.

    coltsoriolesbullets1971 May 25, 2009 at 9:39 pm

  41. Hey Howdy, lasses and lassies.

    Well, we’re at the quarter pole, and all of our teams are at, or near, the top of their repective divisions. Okay, maybe the O’s, not so much.

    Now for some entertainment.
