I was at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvu0PMQMB8s. Wright hit the go-ahead RBI over Johnny Damon's head, then Wagner came in and K'd all three batters to close it out. One of the best games I've ever attended.

Anytime Wagner blows away the Yankees it's great.

What a horrible trade... mad.gif


On December 5, 2006, during the MLB Winter Meetings, Bannister was traded from the New York Mets to the Kansas City Royals for relief pitcher Ambiorix Burgos to help strengthen the Mets' bullpen. Bannister's father Floyd pitched for the Royals for two seasons from 1988-1989.


Posted by: JW32Hoops May 18 2008, 05:42 PM
True...but for every one of those, Minaya pulls off one of http://metsarebetterthansex.blogspot.com/2007/05/tracking-trade-anna-benson-for.html. Dude was supposed to be the "throwaway guy" in that trade and now he's pitching like an ace.

Pedro Martinez: Throws Simulated Game

Update: Martinez (hamstring) threw 77 pitches in a simulated game on Monday, and plans to throw a bullpen session Wednesday or Thursday, according to the Associated Press.

Recommendation: Martinez could return to the Mets within the next two weeks if he progresses as he should.

Mets do suck--- you think Willie should be fired?

Posted by: JW32Hoops May 23 2008, 09:03 AM
I think Willie should be fired, yes. I understand that it's not him in the batter's box, or on the mound...but this team needs some sort of change to spark them. They've got tons of talent and are flat-out not playing to their potential, not even close. They need someone to come in and fire them up. The problem is, there's no solid choice out there. They'd probably promote Jerry Manuel (bench coach) and then mull their options during the off-season.

Posted by: willpiazza31 May 23 2008, 09:50 AM
If Willie gets fired then Joe Girardi should be fired too. They're just as bad if not worse with a higher payroll.

Awesome comeback today. The seats we had were good. Field level over by RF, close to the beer vendor and Nathans hot dogs.

Was a pretty boring game until the Mets finally broke through and dropped loads on tubby Broxton. Beltran hit a bomb that almost hit the scoreboard.

Great win. Wagner blew they away, struck out the side and dropped a major load on Joe Torre.

Good times.

Free cap day too. Not a bad hat for it being free.

I'd LOVE Bobby V to come back, but from everything I read, he's really happy in Japan, don't think he'd leave unless someone offered him some serious jack. He's a strong personality, that's for sure. Could use his fire and passion.

Dude hadn't let up an earned run all year till last week, now he's blown 3 straight. Fuckin killing me this team. Willie needs to be fired immediately. He took Pelfrey out after 8 shutout innings, bullpen almost blew the game. Today he took out The Best Pitcher In Baseball after 7 shutout innings and the 'pen DID blow the game.

Shitty timing for us Mets fans though. Right when we needed to turn a corner and get our shit together...more implosion. Actually...I don't even know. I'm not sure it's the D-Backs "coming out of a slump" so much as it's Willie pulling hot pitchers and Wagner flat-out tanking.

Either way, depressing times for us fans of the Amazins.

Whatever Bobby V would or wouldn't be doing is purely speculation. I like him because he's got tons of energy, passion, etc...which is pretty much what this team is lacking. Plus, he's a flat out solid coach, a winner. Just won his 1500th game actually.

Anyhoo, I'm pissed at Willie (this week) because he pulled Pelfrey, who was cruising through 8 shutout innings...and the 'pen ruined it. So what does he do today? Pulls Johan freaking Santana after 7 dominant innings....and the 'pen ruined it. Isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same things over and over, yet expecting a different result.

I know they had 114 and 116 pitches respectively...but I think people are pussies with that pitch count shit. These aren't 48 year old Jaime Moyers we're talking about. It's a young kid and a dominator in his prime. If they're hot (which both were) let em nail it down and finish what they started. It's not like either of them were in trouble or falling apart at all.

idk...just my frustrated 2 cents.

Don't get Yanks fans confused with Met fans. Hard to describe and it sounds kinda silly...but we're two entirely different breeds. At the end of the day, winning is all that matters. If we were rattling off victories, no one would give a fuck how stoic Willie was.

I imagine if they brought back Bobby V, and the Met were doing badly, they'd probably chant someone elses name too. Willie has to deal with a team with some aging players, and not the most solid bull pen.

Game 2 - Didn't see the game but glad Pedro got the win. Huge pinch hit from Cancel who used to play in the Atlantic League not too far from me. Wagner finally getting shit in order picking up the save.

Won the series. That's all you can ask for at this point.

That's so funny, cuz I was thinking the same thing. As much as I've railed against him and called for his ouster...I'll definitely miss him. We've had some good years under Willie. I hope the next guy (Manuel for now, after that who knows) can help get the Mets back on top.

Posted by: willpiazza31 Jun 17 2008, 09:04 AM
I've never been a proponent of calling for a managers head when a team is underachieving.

He is not the one playing. He is not the one giving up late inning homeruns to squander leads.

I'm sorry but if a team cannot hold a 4+ run lead with 2 innings to go that is not the managers fault.

If you want to fire Willie just to shake things up then fine. Or maybe the team didn't like him and didn't want to play for him, who knows. I just don't buy that he wasn't doing a good job.

I hear ya man, and I've had this same conversation with like 10 people in the past 2 weeks. The thing is though...when IS it OK to fire a manager? He'll never be the one standing in the batter's box, striking out with guys in scoring position. He'll never be the one on the mound, giving up runs in relief. When a team is full of talent and has a high payroll...and then that team doesn't achieve...someone's gonna have to go. You know it wasn't going to be Omar, and "you can't fire the players" so everyone knew it was Willie's time.

They fired "Mr. Untouchable" Rick Peterson too. Good. The guys got his pitchers throwing blindfolded and with their off-hand and shit. Eff that...our bullpen guys need to learn how to get guys out, not how throw a curveball while standing on one foot.

Posted by: willpiazza31 Jun 17 2008, 09:43 AM
Let's see what happens now.

I highly doubt the managerial change will make Delgado a .300 hitter with 35+ HR's.

Suddenly Endy Chavez and Damion Easley will be all star outfielders.

Maine will be lights out again.

Their bullpen will be the talk of MLB.

Alou and Church will miraculously heal from their injuries and have awesome 2nd halfs.

I hope I'm wrong though.

Posted by: azfittrainer Jun 17 2008, 03:23 PM
The same thing happened to Bob Brenly during their horrific '04 season. It wasn't Brenlys fault they could hit with RISP, or that the bullpen was dog shit. It's not Willie fault either that Delgado isn't hitting and that the GM over paid for an injury prone Alou.

Why pull out Santana? Only 105 pitches if you want to get into that stupid shit.

And the Mets are 1 of 5 teams not to have a CG yet this year.

Bad move Manuel. Especially with Wagner out.

Agreed. 10 game win streak aside, our starters and Wagner have been solid. Everyone in between? Not so much. Johan isn't exactly Jaime Moyer. Dude can throw 120+ pitches and be fine for his next start. Effing ridiculous.

Posted by: willpiazza31 Jul 23 2008, 10:04 AM
105 is nothing. You have a 4 run lead. Throw him in the 9th, see how he does with the 1st batter, play it by ear.

You never know, it could be a 9 pitch inning.

If he struggles then bring in the relief. At least there's no doubt that way.

Its the bullpens job to close out a game with a 4 run lead. No need to beat up on an ACE with that big of a lead. 1 run yes, but 4 run? He made the right move. The bullpen didnt.

Posted by: willpiazza31 Jul 23 2008, 10:25 AM
I'm not making an excuse for the bullpen, they sucked for sure.

105 pitches is NOTHING for an ace.

This whole pitch count shit is overrated. Let the guy finish the damn game.

Had it been 105 through 7 innings that may be a bit different.

Unfortunatly 100 pitches is a max. I hate seeing a great performance ruined or stopped because of a pitch count. You have to play to win each game. If santana blows the next game oh well. Case n point why you cannot let an unreliable bullpen lose what could be a easier victory

Yeah 100 as been the line for years...Anymore and its getting up there..The only time its normal is when pitchers like dicek, whos used to throwing tons, and wake, who doesnt throw hard. Other than that, the bullpen needs to take over and get their starter, and their team, the win.

Posted by: potential87 Jul 23 2008, 10:34 AM
yeah, I dont agree with it all the time, but if the bullpen is solid take that approach. If you dont trust them sometimes an extra 15 wont hurt. Im not saynig turn santana into a work horse, but no one sucks it up anymore

Posted by: willpiazza31 Jul 23 2008, 10:41 AM
That's why I said play it by ear. Throw him out there and see what happens. He the 1st guy gets on ok pull him.

That was a must win game too. I know it's only July but every game counts. Especially when you're up 4 and a win puts you in 1st place.

The NL/AL east is very competitive. Every game becomes must win right after the all-star break. When its a division battle you play it like the NLCS.

Now this is how an ACE talks...

“We needed that big,” Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. “He was very adamant about going back out. He really wanted the complete game.”

118 pitches... ain't shit...

Heilman had a good stretch this year...it lasted like 2 weeks. The rest of the time, the guy has been effing horrendous.

Last night wasn't even a save opp and he STILL almost blew the game.

If we're up by 3 or less in the 9th, who throws? Gotta be Smith or Kunz, right? There's no way they trust Sanchez or Heilman with the 9th at this point.
