Indestructible

Via The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus  |  August 10, 2009
So what's more surprising: that the Mets actually won a game in Petco Park, or that Livan Hernandez didn't dislocate a finger while teaching the kids in the front row the fist pump with explosion?Oh yeah, I forgot. Livan is the indestructible one on the team ... like the Terminator. One specializes in superior artificial intelligence that adjusts to his surroundings, the other has...

Doug Davis, tonight’s scheduled starter for the Diamondbacks, has allowed just four runs in his last 19 innings pitched over his past three starts.

PEREZ SHINES, BUT K-ROD BLOWS IT AGAIN

Via New York Mets ? New York Post  |  August 08, 2009

Yo Marvin! Plate's Over There

Via Faith and Fear  |  August 08, 2009
Oliver Perez rocked me to sleep late Friday evening, which was a nice change from the nightmares one usually experiences from watching him pitch. He was smooth, the Mets were winning, the Padres were quiet, it was San Diego at midnight...except for the lack of Southern California sunshine, it may as well have been the ******* Catalina Wine Mixer. Then I wake up, groggily absorbing...

This sums it up nicely

Via Sports Blog Net  |  August 07, 2009
After a great outing from Oliver Perez, Francisco Rodriguez blows another save (with an assist to the home plate umpire).  No thanks to the Mets bats, that went almost completely dead after the first inning. Here is the FanGraph’s win probability graph, which pretty much sums up this game in one, single image. But hey, Bobby Parnell is starting tomorrow! [[ Home || RSS feed |...
