The injury bug is really hurting the Mets also right now.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Mets are almost guarenteed a win tomorrow night with Wang starting.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He pitched ok his last start. Wasn't pretty, but definitely an improvement over where he was. And the Mets just look bad right now.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

And the Yankees sweep the Mets :D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I am still hangin my head over this series!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

:wo :banger

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Thanks for rubbing it in Ryan!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

No problem. I defiantely hope the Mets can get some healthy players soon. I am always waiting for a rematch of 2000.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Mike Lowell is headed to the DL for the Red Sox.

The Yankees made a trade for Eric Hinske.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

And what are they gonna use Eric Hinske for? They already have Matsui that they are not using!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He can play first base, third base, left, and right field. Useful for when Tex wants to DH, A-Rod needs a day off, pinch hitting, Melky/Swisher get cold, or Damons knees get sore. I think it's actually a pretty good trade, we gave up nothing really and Hinske does have a little power in his bat.

Sucks if your a Pirates fan though. Even the players are pissed off at all the moves lol.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees win tonight and Mo gets his 501st save.

The Red Sox are now losing in the 9th inning 11-10 after leading 10-1.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Talk about a great night! Yankees win an exciting game. Boston takes a loss in most spectacular fashion. And the Mets lost again. :D:tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Are baseball Umps getting worse every year. Here is a quote taken from Jeter after he was called out while trying to steal 3rd base. There is a great video on yankees.com showing that he was never tagged.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

SF won 5-4, the top of the ninth was a close one. Brian Wilson did not completely screw up though.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Don't you hate it when a closer likes to make things interesting.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

My Mets better do something before the trade deadline...or we're gonna find ourselves in the cellar!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Yankees need to stop having to constantly catch up all the time.

How bout them Reds? Worst loss in their 140 year history :jd

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Blue Jays are starting to take trade offers for Doc Halladay. He has a no trade clause but has agreed to look at possible trades that are in the best interest of the team.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He can go anywhere except to the Yankees as far as I'm concerned.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Mets would LOVE to have him!!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I don't think the Yankees are going to trade for him. It will cost way too much of the farm that Cashman is trying to rebuild.

I don't think the Mets have enough in the farm to even offer.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I dunno, the Yankees haven't gotten much out of Wang and he's hurt again. Chamberlain hasn't been great as of late and they want to keep Hughes in the pen, so there really isn't anyone to fill the gap. They might make a move for him. I could see the Red Sox willing to pony up a nice offer as well as Smoltz is quite the question mark in their rotation. The Mets I doubt could offer anything worthwhile for him.

It'll be interesting to see how it goes, but i'm banking on the Bluebirds keeping him.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Well, Doc could go to the Yanks, and maybe help them win. Or he could go to the Mets, but I don't know if he can help them win. You don't win many 0-0 games.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

So true...we NEED to be able to put some runs across the plate first.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yankees beat up on the Twins tongiht 10-2 getting 16 hits in the process!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Mets lose another one...this is getting OLD...and FAST!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The only positive thing is that you won't have to suffer from a 1st place collapse in September. :rolleyes:

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Thanks Ryan...that helps!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Does it help that if the Yankees could have won at least one game against the Red Sox so far they would be in first place.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

YES!!! Seeing that my two favorite teams are the NY Mets and who ever is playing the Yankess!!! :fu:wo:dance::D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Really? A Mets fan who hates the Yankees more than the Phillies? That's just, I dunno, wrong :r

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Wrong, but typical. After all, he's a Mets fan - you expectin' logic?

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

No, I suppose not :D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Congrats to Jonathan Sanchez of the Giants who pitched a no-hitter tonight.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Ryan Church for Jeff Francoeur...I like this trade for us!!! Hopefully a change of scenary wakes Francouer up and he starts producing again...still love his arm in right field!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Maybe the NL can beat the AL this year.
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...=.jsp&c_id=mlb

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

AL all the way!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Im with you Ryan:tu The Doc is starting tonight for us!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

NL hasn't won since 1997...11 years in a row!!! Let's go NL!!!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

It will be interesting to see who gets the 9th inning for the AL team.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

My bet would be Tim Wakefield if the AL has the lead.
The problem is someone to catch him :D

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I think you will see Wakefield pitch if the score is tied since he can pitch many innings and they have to save a pitcher for extra innings.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Come on NL!

Too bad Matt Cain is out with a messed up elbow. At least we have Lincecum!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That kid is an amazing pitcher. He definately does not look like much and then he throws the ball and that changes.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

He has some nasty stuff

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Cain and Lincecum are both great pitchers.

We need guys like that, it keeps Barry Zito off the mound.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

They just need to toss Zito into the bay.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I was at the game on Sunday, I was ready to toss him into McCovey cove.

I hope he decides to retire after this contract is up. You only need 10 yrs for your pension.

He's a piece of crap.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I remember Zito had a nasty curveball with the A's, but he hasn't done much with the Giants.
