They are going to keep trying until they can run Mejia out there 3 days in a row, aren’t they?
Dopes.
I think Murphy man is going to be in the witness protection program soon. Bummer for him!
Although there is a guy over on MB that will be happy (Sylowxx). Murph obviously slept with his dog and kicked his mother for starters, but he must have done something worse. I have never seen 1 poster be so obsessed with “proving” a particular player is the worst ever and will singlehandedly cause the mets to finish last (along with global warming, and passing the health bill).
Makes Alex and his obsession with DW look like puppy love.
Oh, and Go Big Pelf!

I don’t know, have you seen my obsession with Figgy (or perhaps yours with King Luis)? LOL
As for Murphy he was the starter in yesterday’s game with the regulars right? He went 1-3 and was taken out for Carter. I guess at this point they are really trying to see who makes the bench.

I argued the point with Sylow in like November. He refuses to listen to reason, and will argue anything you say by finding a stat or reason why it doesn’t matter.
What, Murphy had a good September? well, those homers were off pitchers that, during the month of September, had bad ERA+s..so it doesn’t really count. Always something. If he wasn’t touting over-hyped statistics(and successfully using a computer), I’d say he was Mike Francesa.
Mr North Jersey

Somewhere Francesa is saying ouch!!!

No he’s not. He doesn’t read blogs. I doubt he knows how to do more than read email, at best. You can tell by the way he asks the producers to look up ridiculously easy to look up stuff, like Wright’s home run totals last year, or things like that.

Also notice the Cat in LF, looks like they are really trying to see who can be the LH utility bat off the bench.

Speaking of obsessions, another reason I am not a Figgy fan.
http://www.nj.com/mets/index.ssf/2010/03/nelson_figueroa_wants_to_be_mo.html
Stop whining. The reason that you don’t have a sure spot in the lineup is the same reason no one picked you up the 120 times you have been released. If money is an issue to you then sure go to Japan. If having a chance to go to AAA and then pitching for the Mets and trying to help them win a WS is what you want then do it and keep your mouth shut.
Mr North Jersey
3/22/2010-11:02am at 11:02 am (UTC -4)
You would have a problem.

Yup. LOL. Can’t help it.
trs86
3/22/2010-11:09am at 11:09 am (UTC -4)
It really is a problem too. I need medication that can only come from Japan. Perhaps Figgy can get it for me.
trs86
3/22/2010-11:11am at 11:11 am (UTC -4)
At least I know I am in the right now. MC is campaigning for him.
“the Mets are going to lose figgy again, because they’re going to goof this up”
Uh Matty, when did we ever lose Figgy?
trs86
3/22/2010-11:23am at 11:23 am (UTC -4)
Speaking of. Nice cheap plug in the title there as well. Wonder why he chose Geico insurance?
ceetar
3/22/2010-11:29am at 11:29 am (UTC -4)
He’s sorta right though, that it would be goofing up if they lose a player because they kept Meija in the pen.
trs86
3/22/2010-11:32am at 11:32 am (UTC -4)
Yeah, in that sense it would be a shame to lose any player for keeping Mejia too early. But other have options, Parnell, Green…
I just don’t get the lose him again? Like he is some long lost girl that we have a chance to win back. We never lost him to start with. We dumped him and he came crawling back.
I have no problem with Figgy making the team and either Parnell or Green going down. I have a tremendous problem with keeping Figgy and losing a guy like Nieve or Misch who can most likely match or exceed his production at a much younger age.

This…..agree.
Mejia does not belong in the BP come opening day.
trs86
3/22/2010-11:16am at 11:16 am (UTC -4)
Interesting:
Mejia’s presence might be very welcome in the Mets clubhouse. Alex Cora raved about the fact that Mejia “brings a lot of positive energy,” while praising his work ethic (“he’s one of the first ones here”) and saying that, “In the clubhouse, he’s made a great impression.”

Hey, can I complain about Craig Carton again today? Anyone listen to him this morning?
njstuckintx
3/22/2010-11:21am at 11:21 am (UTC -4)
What’d he say? He used to be a Mets lover, I thought, or at least he was 2 years ago when I was chilling in the tri-state area.
ceetar
3/22/2010-11:28am at 11:28 am (UTC -4)
He’s a Mets hater now, that claims to be a Mets fan but rooted for the Yankees, and basically still does.
He was mocking the Mets slogan for 2010, and was doing some lame bit where he thinks the Mets should have whispers of ‘we believe’ through the park before games. I imagine it’d sound like a haunted house or something.
Mr North Jersey
3/22/2010-11:38am at 11:38 am (UTC -4)
Carton’s act will get old soon enough I hope. He wants to be the Howard Stern of Morning Sports Talk but I don’t think he has what it takes.
GravediggerHebner
3/22/2010-11:41am at 11:41 am (UTC -4)
I understand the reason for Carton’s presence, but for me all it means is that I don’t listen to “sports radio” WFAN until after 10:00am. I’m not a fan.
But to be fair, I love Steve Somers and he’s not exactly “sports radio” either. I think I just enjoy his sense of humor more than Carton’s.

3/22/2010-11:46am at 11:46 am (UTC -4)
Same here – and I usually then click it off at the 1pm hour to save myself from being aggravated by the MF drive-by show too.
Although lately, I left it on and when he was off on a rant about the Mets (like with Jose and his thyroid) found myself listening. It’s like a bad train wreck you can’t turn away from.
Mr North Jersey

Somers humor is the best. I miss him not having his overnights. Nothing comes close to having replaced him yet.

Hating on the Mets gets the ratings these days, I guess. I liked him and Boomer as an alternative to Mike & Mike. All they talk is football, non stop. I hope that when the Mets are clinching a spot in the playoffs somebody calls out them out.
Mr North Jersey
3/22/2010-11:50am at 11:50 am (UTC -4)
I’d rather listen to Boomer & Carton anyday then those cyborg ESPN Units called Mike & Mike.

3/22/2010-11:50am at 11:50 am (UTC -4)
I liked boomer and carton at first, but Carton’s just gotten insane and stupidly annoying. I never listened to Imus either though.
And ESPN is bad. Cowherd only talks football too it seems, and I really don’t care about things like the Raider’s kicker’s salary.
I actually find myself listening to Michael Kay though, as annoying as he is. Don and Bonnie are good when Kay’s away though.
Mr North Jersey
3/22/2010-11:51am at 11:51 am (UTC -4)
Bonnie is good I agree so is Don but at times I think he holds back.
GravediggerHebner
3/22/2010-11:55am at 11:55 am (UTC -4)
Completely agree that Kay’s show is excellent when he’s not there.
Roughly 4 years ago I actually liked listening to Kay’s show even with him, but one particular day I lost interest. He was discussing John Maine with a caller, the caller was expressing some hope for the future with Maine and Kay want on a rant repeatedly screaming “WE KNOW WHAT JOHN MAINE IS!” over and over.
Also I don’t find his deliberate mispronunciation of SNY cute. I now only exclusively call his TV network Y-E-S.

3/22/2010-12:04pm at 12:04 pm (UTC -4)

Yes I find the SNY thing annoying too. According to his thing, what are you supposed to call CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, ESPN, USA, MTV……
He’s such a homer and a Mets hater. I don’t mind it if he admits to it, but he never admits it.
ceetar
3/22/2010-2:04pm at 2:04 pm (UTC -4)
he’s at least consistant though. If he’s talking about the Yankees, it’s semi normal. And he rarely has anything good/new/insightful to say about the Mets. (how could he, he works during the games) but at least he won’t randomly decide he needs to kill Murphy.
DNDJohan aka kistics
3/22/2010-2:18pm at 2:18 pm (UTC -4)
Personally I’d rather listen to the Fat man than Kay when discussing the Mets. I think the fat man is fair at times (probably because of the relationship that WFAN with the Mets), but Kay is just outright biased.
I just wish Don would stick up little more, but I guess he doesn’t want to have constant argument 9 months of the year.

The announcers are saying (after Zimmerman’s 2nd HR), something like “That’s no cheap HR. The first 3 probably stayed in for most ball parks”.

Listening to the game broadcast by WFED.
All of sudden you hear this guy screaming “Hey Pelfrey… blah blah blah…” can’t really make out what he said, but did not sound anything good. Next pitch, Pelf allows a HR to Willingham. And then this guy screams some more. Life of a professional athlete.

LOL. Dan Warthen came out to change pitchers and double switch (FMart in for Frenchy). Radio announcers are saying that Frenchy threw his glove over to FMart as if FMart forgot to bring his own glove. LOL
And now he announces Mejia the ‘non roster invitee’ pitcher (I guess that’s right).

stickguy
3/22/2010-2:56pm at 2:56 pm (UTC -4)
maybe Mejia will scuffle in his full inning (I assume he came in for 1 out, and gets to stay in?) I hate to root for that, but something has to happen to make sure he goes back to AA. And not as the closer.
Some of these ST parks are kind of small, and often there are gale force winds blowing out. So, hard to put much stock in ST HRs, unless they are the type that carry over the picnic area and land in the street. Those are probably good anywhere.
But, it would be nice to see Pelf not giving up 4 at a shot. Wonder if he was working on “stuff” again, at the expense of trying to get outs?

Some Phillies fans commenting on their game right now (which, BTW is televised on ESPN – I guess you get the respect when you’re the Yankees and WC)….
Saying Hamels is the ‘bad’ Hamels from last year. Struggling with command, everything up in the zone.
I’m telling you, this race is all going to come down to what team has the best pitching. On that note, as much as I think Mejia should start out in the minors, if they’re keeping Green to send him down, I might change my stance on that.
They BOTH ought to be sent down. We’ve got other options.
Someone said the reason Green will be given a roster spot is b/c of his almost 1MIL salary.
stickguy
3/22/2010-3:13pm at 3:13 pm (UTC -4)
Green gets that if he is on the Mets, the Bisons, or home sitting on the beach. So it should have no impact.
I think he gets it because Omar is stubborn and doesn’t want to admit his mistake.
metsfan4decades
3/22/2010-3:15pm at 3:15 pm (UTC -4)
There’s a big difference between sticking with Green and his salary and giving Ollie and his salary one more shot…
stickguy
3/22/2010-3:21pm at 3:21 pm (UTC -4)
there is a big difference between SP and back of the pen OOGY types to. They should be giving Ollie another shot. They also need him way more than green (since if you want to remove them, you gotta replace them!)
Ollie was also hurt last year. Green just stinks.
ceetar
3/22/2010-3:33pm at 3:33 pm (UTC -4)
The Mets, historically, HAVE been willing to release guys and eat the cost. (Marlon Anderson last year, for instance) so let’s not pretend just because Adam Rubin says so, that the Mets will keep Green for money reasons.
trs86
3/22/2010-3:36pm at 3:36 pm (UTC -4)
He did not even exactly say that. Said that the Mets might be more inclined to keep him up because he cost the same both places. That does not really even make sense anyway.
ceetar
3/22/2010-3:11pm at 3:11 pm (UTC -4)
I finally figured out what Carton was talking about. There’s a Mets ad in the paper with a picture of K-Rod that says “We believe in 8-inning games”. I’m not sure why they decided that was worth making fun of though.
Also noticed the comments by Manuel that it would be good for Meija to fail in the majors.
stickguy
3/22/2010-3:12pm at 3:12 pm (UTC -4)
I think because Jerry did, he figures everyone should?
And I think he is wrong. It won’t (at this point) help him develop as a SP, and worse, it won’t help the Mets win this year.
Talk about a lose lose.
Jerry is a dope and annoys me. He needs to go.
trs86
3/22/2010-3:15pm at 3:15 pm (UTC -4)
Not exactly what Manuel said if it’s the same report. He just said it would be a positive for him even if he did come up and fail and be sent back down to work.
ceetar
3/22/2010-3:35pm at 3:35 pm (UTC -4)
I read it as he’ll be stronger for having come up and failed. something about hunger, etc. But now it’s no longer about “Best 7 guys for the pen” and about developing a prospect, and therefore Manuel loses, let him start in AAA.
trs86
3/22/2010-3:37pm at 3:37 pm (UTC -4)
Yeah, he said if he failed that it could make him stronger because he would be more hungry to come up and stay.
Again, I am done insulting Manuel for a decision he can’t even make.
ceetar
3/22/2010-3:43pm at 3:43 pm (UTC -4)
If that was true no one would be discussing it though. Omar said Meija was head to AA, and then Manuel said “bullpen”. So everyone’s listening to Manuel more anyway.
But yeah, I’m more concerned about his ‘easing’ Tejada into SS and gotta “get Jacobs playing time to keep him fresh”
trs86
3/22/2010-3:51pm at 3:51 pm (UTC -4)
Those are decisions he can make once the METS pick the roster. Same with Mejia. Come on Ceetar, the reason everyone is “discussing” it is because it’s ST and it makes a good story.
Hell put up a story on Mejia in the pen and see how many views and comments you get. It’s instant gratification.
ceetar
3/22/2010-3:54pm at 3:54 pm (UTC -4)
Lol. Hey, I posted that cranepoolforum link with the pics and got it up just about everywhere in the Metsverse.

Just made the mistake of visiting the game thread over at MB. Seems like the season is over folks. No hope. the SP has no chance of being respectable, and the call is for Mejia to skip the BP and go straight to the rotation.
I also had to make fun of the guy obsessed with Murphy. I swear I have never seen him post anything that wasn’t a rant about how bad he is, and challenging other posters to put up a stat to prove he isn’t the worst player in the universe.
trs86
3/22/2010-3:14pm at 3:14 pm (UTC -4)
That would be the Slowly or something.
I will say this, it would be hard to find a worse 1B statistically than Murphy.
stickguy
3/22/2010-3:19pm at 3:19 pm (UTC -4)
But do you have to make it a crusade? Especially without ever posting an alternative (considering they have a budget, and normal teams often have to carry a low priced guy at a position even if he isn’t an all star).
I also have a problem with treating stats for a rookie as gospel, and deciding that there is no reason to look at trends (did they get better during the year and make adjustments?), or to assume that they might improve with more experience.
Heck, if you took 1st year stats for all players and based on that, very few would ever get a 2nd year!
So fine, don’t be satisfied with Murphy, but come up with an alternative that fits within the framework of budget, and available MiL talent (to use or trade).
trs86
3/22/2010-3:22pm at 3:22 pm (UTC -4)
Yeah, he’s a big Ike Davis guy.
I have no idea what Murphy will produce but I will have to assume that he will still be near the bottom of the MLB 1B pile.
stickguy
3/22/2010-3:32pm at 3:32 pm (UTC -4)
quite possibly. But, it is a team game. And if it works out that you are above average at other positions, it’s all about just scoring enough runs to win.
I would prefer to have A Gon or Fielder at 1B. But unfortunately, the Mets don’t have him.
And I like Ike a lot, but no guarantee he will be that much better this year.
trs86
3/22/2010-3:35pm at 3:35 pm (UTC -4)
Agreed. Just saying it’s a spot that they can’t show some kind of dying loyalty to. If Murphy starts and still is not hitting they can’t be afraid to try other options.
ceetar
3/22/2010-3:37pm at 3:37 pm (UTC -4)
It’s an easy decision if Murphy is hitting .250 with 2hr and Davis is hitting .350 in the minors. Baseball’s rarely that easy.
trs86
3/22/2010-3:38pm at 3:38 pm (UTC -4)
Agreed.
wannybackstra
3/22/2010-3:46pm at 3:46 pm (UTC -4)
If Murphy is hitting .250 and Carlos Pena is available in July, you might see the Mets sending Bobby Parnell and some other potentially enticing prospect to Tampa.
trs86

Agreed Wanny. You then could offer him arbitration and if he takes it move Davis to the OF if he is that ready.

Yeah, that would put Davis in the OF for only one year and I doubt Pena would take arbitration anyway with one last long-term contract on the line.

One would imagine. Also, don’t you think it would be too dangerous for TB to keep him and offer arbitration (assuming they are not in the race)?

I think TB would trade him regardless just to free up cash (assuming they are out of the race).
Agreed it would be too risky for them to offer him arbitration — not while they need to come up with the money to sign Crawford.

Yup. Most likely would solve our 1B issues.

Man, the regular season can’t come fast enough.
Can’t wait to start ragging on guys for what they are actually doing (or not doing), instead of what people think they will or won’t do!

Double by Pridie. I actually like this kid and he fits the role of defensive OF much better. I really hope that GMJR is traded or even Pagan in the right deal.

Didn’t he do that earlier in the year too?

He definitely had another walk off hit of some kind yes, I can’t recall if it was a homer or not.

Well, nice to see some of these other NL east teams pitchers struggling yet in ST.

Mr North Jersey

Yea I think this was only his 3rd outing and coming in he had only 5.1/IP.

With Green and Parnell not showing much consistency yet this ST, you think they might do something dumb like send those two down and give Mejia a spot in the BP?
I was really hoping Parnell would be showing some improvement this year. With his fastball, was hoping he could eventually pitch his way into that 8th inning role.

Well, Parnell hasn’t been terrible this ST. His ERA is 2.89 and his WHIP is around 1.5 (which actually isn’t very good). It certainly isn’t inspiring, but it’s better than most of our starters have shown so far!

3/22/2010-4:38pm at 4:38 pm (UTC -4)
I know Parnell has been better than Green. I haven’t looked at stats, just the game or box scores – but I think everyone in that BP has been better than Green, right?
Although I think he finally had a 1-2-3 inning the other day.

Very possible. Also I guess could save all 3 of the guys on survivor island.
