    And the bullpen strikes again.
  2. a700hitter
    This bullpen is at it again. We can’t even beat crappy teams like the Tigers and the Blue Jays without really struggling, because of this bullpen.
  3. a700hitter
    I can’t see being able to go on a sustained good run with this bullpen.

    If the delay went more than an hour they used to call the game. What they do today --wait hours to get the game in to preserve revenue etc. is really very unfair to the fans.

    Wow! You have been blind in 1 eye since you were 7 years old?

    Kay is on the IL and so is John Sterling.

    Does it look like they will resume the game?

    Gibson had one of the scariest game faces of any athlete that I have seen.

    I thought he had MS. Either one is very tough.

    No politics. We had a President who visited 57 states and had a few more to go. Let’s just stop it there.

    Vargas? The Mets would jump at a bag of balls for Vargas.

    If it is about fun, then they should have greeted him at the on deck circle and jumped up and down together as a team. As an aside, I was listening to an old Brooklyn Dodger broadcast by Vin Scully. He mentioned that you cannot tell a ballplayer or his family that baseball is just a game. That made them bristle. Scully said that baseball is a cutthroat business.

    Even the Syndegard trade was not as great as you think. Dickey lived up to his reasonable contract extension with the Jays. His won-loss record wasn't great, but he was a consistent innings eater for them and he earned his check. The big piece in that trade for the Mets wasn't Syndergard. It was d'Arnaud, who has been a complete flop. Syndergard was a pleasant surprise for the mets, and now he is turning out to be a disappointment, putting up late career Dickey-like numbers.

    What about Dalbec?

    Like I said, you are a good guy. There are many who wouldn’t see the distinction. Those are the people that are worrisome.

    But if a great player has his emotions under control and his opponent is losing his battle with emotion thus negatively affecting his performance the results for the player with his emotions under control will look other worldly.

    I found out that NCAA rules have just recently become more strict about the contact that they can make with HS kids to recruit them. In the meantime, professional teams and scouts have almost no limitations on the ways that they can woo a HS kid. This could hurt college recruiting and result in deeper drafts of HS talent as kids drafted in later rounds might be more likely to sign than go to college. Also, the pro teams will put tuition money in 529 plans for them so that they can get an education if they wash out of baseball. I am not too concerned about emptying more talent from the farm as I think there will be more coming in.

    Can people have an opinion today without being accused of having a negative character attribute? Many here strongly disliked Hawk Harrelson. I happened to enjoy that he was a unique character. Did you ever call the people who didn’t like Hawk “haters”. You may have been among them so it was okay. I don’t like Speier on broadcasts. Different strokes for different folks. In today’s “tolerant “ society, tolerance is afforded only to like minded people. Such hypocrisy. Not aiming this directly at you. You are a good thoughtful guy. I am making a larger point about society today and that many of us act in this obnoxious fashion on occasion.

    I don’t have a problem with his writing. He just adds nothing to the broadcasts. On the rare occasion that he says something that I don’t already know, it adds nothing to the game or the broadcast. Couple that with his whiny tone and I find him extremely annoying. He should stick to print journalism. The voice in my head as I read his articles is far more pleasant.

    That was an extraordinary performance that kept the Red Sox in the game for 6 innings in relief— unheard of in today’s game. A sac fly to make the second out in the 9th down by 5 runs isn’t a big deal. Maybe it merits a slight fist bump as he passes people on the way to his seat on the bench. It doesn’t merit players getting up to greet him at the top step of the dugout. Should they have met him at the ondeck circle and jumped up and down with him as a group? This whole discussion is preposterous. DGalehouse had a certain emotional response to something in the game and people here find the need to go on for pages to invalidate what he felt. The contrarian approach by so many posters on this board is okay when discussing the merits of a player or manager, but challenging and debating someone’s emotional response to something in a game is just jerkiness. Seriously, you people can be a bunch of *******s.

    W-L is quite misleading. They have the 2nd most blown saves in baseball. That is more significant.
  23. a700hitter
    Awful, just awful.
  24. a700hitter
    Beautiful do or die play by Devers -- just got him.
  25. a700hitter
    He was garbage last inning and he is garbage this inning. He should be out of the game.
