Mr. Rollins is a Liar
Game 7: Mets 11, Phillies 5
Record: 5-2
Yeah, Jimmy Rollins is a liar. He’ll tear your mind down. He’ll burn your soul.
The Phillies might well be the team to beat in the NL East. For the record — and what a record it is, to be surfed incessantly down the long road of Time by web-cr...

Both sides of the Sox coin
Record 1-1
We've seen it before, unfortunately. I'm not just talking about the Sox, either. In case you were throwing your hands up in exasperation after seeing another set of "We're Back!" posts followed by a month of nothing, understand we had two things working against us:
#1: Weblogs.us. Hey, I k...

Spring Cleaning
Game 3: Mets 10, Cardinals 0
Record: 3-0
John Maine swept the Cardinals with a little help from Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes. I don’t have much to say about this, except that Braden Looper looked more than credible in his first career start (until he started throwing straight and slow around t...

The Duke
Game 2: Mets 4, Cardinals 1
Record: 2-0
Formula is something you give to a baby, which El Duque most certainly is not (even Gary Cohen was playing up the age uncertainty for a few oversized belly laughs early on). Formulaic is the Mets early 2007 victory plan: pretty good starting pitching, excellent defense, and a couple [...]

Finally
Game 1: Mets 6, Cardinals 1
Record: 1-0
Paul Lo Duca got the postgame interview only partly because he drove in a couple runs. Peter Gammons (miscast as a sideline reporter; you can tell because the players seemed to respect him) quickly got to the other reason: Lo Duca was on the receiving end of a heat-seeking [...]

1st Braves Series
Game 4 was Oliver Perez' fantastic debut, which the Mets won 11-1. I remember reading somewhere that you can tell if Randy Johnson is on by the way his jersey billows out as he pitches. Ignoring for the moment that I've just essentially admitted to reading Jerry Crasnick's ESPN Insider "Major League Bling" [...]

Ugliness
Game 8: Phillies 5, Mets 2
Record: 5-3
Oliver Perez gave us a little too much Mr. Hyde tonight, falling apart like a stream of packets pinging weblogs.us with 100% latency. God, he was awful. He missed the strike zone about every way you could miss: slider low, fastball high, slider outside, curveball (I think that’s what [...]

LiveBlog Sox-Rangers: Let’s get ready to jummmmmble!!!!
Sox Record: 2-3
5:18 PM: Just realized the Sox are in danger of being swept by the freaking Rangers. I can just imagine the promos happening in the God forsaken Lonestar state as we speak. “Tune in to see the Rangers, led by the powerful bat of Sammy Sosa, down [...]

Dice-K is fairly awesome
I tuned in today fully prepared for awesome Dice-K mania and watching the Sox steamroll another mediocre Mariners team. Tragically, what I witness instead was almost a no hitter thrown against the Sox by 21 year old hotshot. A few things I noticed:
#1. There’s no way Felix Hernandez is really that good. [...]
