Baseball thread No. 7: Somebody slip the pinstripers a Mickey

Yanks score 20 on Friday night, and 1 yesterday.

Gotta love baseball.

 

Somewhere, BYH is doing poorly executed cartwheels. Minaya and Manuel will return next season:

Mets owner Fred Wilpon broke his extended silence yesterday, just long enough to take one question from The Post, and indicated he already has his general manager in place for 2010.

"Am I going to bring Omar back next year?" Wilpon said. "Absolutely. That's a fact."

Wilpon, who had agreed to answer only one question, then disappeared through a corridor near the Mets clubhouse at Citi Field.

The Post later approached Minaya and repeated Wilpon's comment, but the GM played it coy when he was asked if the same message had been conveyed to him by Wilpon.

Waiting to see Pedro take the mound at Citi for the Phils, but having to endure Ollie's labors in the top of the first.
God, Perez sucks!

 

Well, I get to see Pedro bat before he takes the mound and he got a good hand from the Mets fans.

And Oliver Perez is a total piece of shit.

 

Pulled after going 3-0 to Pedro. Man, that is embarrassing.

 

Beat me to it. I was just about to say "ouch."

 

2/3 IP, 6 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 2 (3-run) HRs.

So the shitheads in Queens pay that peice of shit $13 mill but wouldn't give Pedro $5 mill when he said he wanted to come back to the Mets.

Where's BYH when we need him?

 

Pagan leads off with inisde-the-park HR because of Victorino's fuck up.

 

So you're saying a one-game ERA of 90.59 is bad?

 

Actually, it would be 81.00, but there reallty is no such thing as a one-game ERA.
ERA is a cumulative stat, to me.

 

Really? How does it come out to 81? is there an automatic formula for not getting out of the first inning?

 

ER (6) X 9 divided by IP (.667) = 80.96
