Look at their lineup. Is Neifi Perez really playing everyday for them now? Their best pitcher just got smacked around the park today to the tune of 11 baserunners in 5 1/3 IP. I haven't been following them all year but I don't understand how they won so many games.
He got smacked around by probably the best team in baseball, it's not like the Royals beat him up and how is 4 runs getting "smacked around" when you say 3 runs in 7 IP is a good job? 3 runs are good but 4 is smacked around?
I didn't say the best team in that AAA caliber NL. ARod finally seems to be breaking out, hopefully it's not a 1 game thing.
Yep, w/ a top 2 rotation of injured, fading stars you are by far the best team in baseball. You have a great lineup but that lineup will not beat the AL representative in the WS IF you make it that far. MAYBE the Mets are the 3rd best team in baseball possibly 4th behind the yanks, ChiSox and maybe the Twins.
:rofl: :rofl: The lineup is damn good but it's not the Yankee lineup, best bullpen?:rofl: :rofl: You lost your best setup guy, you are relying on Roberto Hernandez? We all know Billy Wagner can implode at any moment too. We ahve the best closer in the history of baseball, our setup men aren't great but they are ok and overall we have a better pen. Defensively I'd give you an edge but w/ our new OF we are alot better defensively than a year ago. they had been treating that forearm for a while now, I guess it wasn't getting better but I don't think they used him Weds Night b/c he pitched in game 1.
How many saves has wagner blown this year? What's his postseason ERA?(7.71 if you don't want to look it up) yeah your pen is definitely the best:rofl:
I don't want to start another pointless Yankee/Met debate but I feel I have to correct some more junc misinformation. If the Mets are "relying on Roberto Hernandez"(10 1/3 IP 2.61 ERA in August) what would you call what the Yankees are doing with Proctor(22 IP 3.27 ERA) and Villone(22 1/3 IP 6.04 ERA)?
Outside of the other night when proctor was thrown into a role he's not made for he has been excellent the 2nd half of the season. Overall villone has been good this year, he's struggled some lately but there's plenty of time to get back to normal. of the 3 I would trust hernandez the least.
