As far as actual gameplay is concerned (as opposed to off-field Pacman Jones-type issues), is there anything worse in sports than relief pitching?
Fuck this god dam team...... when the fuck are these stupid bastards going to learn to let Johan finish games!!!
move was to bring in heilman he can get jenkins out, and maybe taguchi there was no way in hell feliciano was getting taguchi out..
great point dude. I never got it myself. 9 out of 10 teams have like 3 guys in their pen that suck balls
I am so sick of Reyes and his showboating bs, get fucking outs. Look good for the ladies tonight after your in 1st place.
I cannot stomach it. It's not just a Mets issue. It bothers me even when I'm watching two AL teams play a game and I see some bullpen blow a great performance by the starter. The problem has gotten really, really bad this decade to the point where it is almost making baseball unwatchable for me. The baseball moment I liked most in the 2000s was the 2005 ALCS when the White Sox used 5 pitchers in 5 games (4 complete games).
It's really amazing to be what some people tend to focus on. Sanchez and Feliciano give up a combined 20 line drives in the inning and you have a problem with Reyes midjudging where he was relative to the bag when he was trying to turn two?
Horrible at bat for Wright. Keith is funny. Lidge meant to throw it low and outside, instead it goes high and inside, and because Wright was stupid enough to swing at it, it's a good pitch?
tomorrow will be telling of this team's fortitude. lose tomorrow and I think they will lose whatever momentum they built up leading into the series. win the next two, and they can brush this one off as a fluke and keep rolling.
this game hurt, we sure missed wagner, but the bullpen has got to hold this game. a cg would be nice for once, santana goes 8 strong, why not 9 and rest the pen? and the fact that it was against the phillies aaagh. win tomorrow and i wont hurt as bad
You need to understand by me making that comment I probably saved my job because I promise you as pissed as I was watching this disgraceful performance tonight something in my office was going to get broken. I was very close to picking up the wastebasket and chucking it down the hall and kicking a hole in the wall. It's just frustrating to watch the best pitcher in baseball continue to get screwed by this shitty bullpen. This is now 4 times Santana has left with the lead to have these assholes blow it.
