The Main Event : Pelfrey vs The Fish

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 21:34:00 -0500

Mike Pelfrey will open the last regular season 3 game set at Shea Stadium. Last time Mike Pelfrey pitched against the Marlins there was bad blood between Cody Ross and Pelfrey, as Pelfrey hit Cody Ross. The benches cleared but nothing transpired, but there was a lot of name calling. Mike was claiming he was keeping them honest on the inside part of the plate as a lot of these young hitters like to lean over the plate and Mike likes to pitch inside, sometimes they get plunked. It's going to be interesting to see if there will be a brawl tonight because both these teams do not like each other.... Hopefully the rain will hold up and they will Play Ball!

Mike Pelfrey's breakdown:

Next Game: Fri, Sep 26 vs. Florida Marlins
SPLITS	ERA	W	L	Sv	SvO	GP	GS	CG	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	SO	BAA

Sept. (2008)	3.96	0	2	0	0	4	4	0	25.0	25	12	11	2	11	10	.266

Mike has not had the greatest of luck against the Fish...as he is 0-3 with a 7.91 ERA.

Last Seven Home Games Loom Large For Mets!

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 22:25:23 -0500

Well the Mets have seven games to get in the playoffs. They can play well, keep the wild card lead they have and possible expand on it or they can fall short again and let the Mets fans go crazy on the last days of Shea.

They will be playing the Cubs for four games who just clinched the National League Central. The Cubs will be resting players to get themselves ready for battle in post season play. If does not mean they are going to necessarily going to lay down and let the Mets win the next four games. The Mets have to take advantage that they are home in front of their fans. They need to find it inside them to win 3 out of 4 to be safe...Mets are 0-2 vs Cubs this season..

The pesky Marlins come in again at the same time they did last year to play the last final three games at Shea Stadium. The will be a lot of fanfare and ceremonies, but the Mets have to take care of business. They would not want these three games to actually be the last.. The Marlins would love for it to be the last three games at Shea. These games will be fun to watch now that Cody Ross has some bad blood towards the Mets..
The Mets are 9-6 vs the Marlins this season..

It all falls in the hands of Jerry Manuel. This guy took a misguided, disgruntled team and lead them back to glory in the standings. He has had to work with rookies, veterans, injuries, and a terrible bullpen. I believe that the Mets would be better suited for him to comeback next year instead of replacing this guy. The Mets problems are that they need a better bullpen next year. He has proved that he can manage with a shitty bullpen.... Can you imagine if the Mets actually had a reliable closer, setup man... I would not be talking like this ..........

MLB Waiver Wire - Week 25

Screaming Sports' Phil Yoon breaks out the MLB Waiver Wire and runs downs a list of five potential fantasy studs. If you're looking for that extra edge this week and beyond, then this gem is for you.

Man sends wife passive-aggressive trade offers in fantasy league following domestic dispute

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 20:43:07 -0500

HARRISBURG, PA — David DelMonico, 44, thought that inviting his wife to join his fantasy league might be a bad idea when he extended the invite pre-season. “We’ve got a real competitive, 10-team, AL-only, 6×6 league going,” David said. “I didn’t want to spoil the vibe by bringing in Angie. But by the day of the [...]

Pelfrey was ready to fight Ross

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 20:16:53 -0500

Mike Pelfrey was more amused than concerned by the near-brawl he started by plunking Marlins center fielder Cody Ross last night.

A quiet night at Dolphins Stadium suddenly turned heated with two outs in the bottom of the second inning when Pelfrey hit Ross above the right elbow on a two-strike fastball.

Though it was obvious Pelfrey wasn't throwing at him intentionally, Ross slammed a piece of his batting equipment as he walked toward first base, then turned toward Pelfrey and called him "the p-word," as Pelfrey said later.

The benches emptied but no blows were exchanged, which was just as Pelfrey said he expected after watching Ross issue a similarly lame challenge when Pelfrey hit him three weeks ago at Shea Stadium.

"I told him I was right here, so if he wanted to come out . . ." Pelfrey said. "He just kept talking. It seemed like he got a little more fired up when 24 [teammates] were behind him. I wasn't going to go anywhere.
