Worst throw of all time. It's fitting, gay pitch for a gay team.Raphael De La Ghetto wrote:BTW, I never saw this mentioned in the thread here. Did anyone see baba booey throw out the first pitch at the Mets game the other day? I just saw it on Howard TV. He was so embarassed he couldn't even laugh about it walking back towards the plate.
fa fa flunkey.
The first they've lost at home (the only other series they lost was the one in Kansas City).Raphael De La Ghetto wrote:Matsui is a fag.
I think this is the first series the Jays have lost so far this year.
Looking forward to watching tonight's game to see if Brett Cecil can keep up this amazing start to his big league career. I'm going to the game tomorrow... kinda pissed Robert Ray is pitching for the Jays, but at least he's up against Colon who I'm pretty sure the Jays have done really well against in recent times.

You know something is off when Johnny Damon is one of the best Left Fielders in the American League. Was last year too. WTF

Rob Neyer on last night's Mets game
I don't know how many Mets fans were still up when the game ended. I was, though, and yeah: I can't say it was disheartening because my heart doesn't care about the Mets, but man was it ever ugly. I don't know that I've seen a good team make more obvious mistakes in the late stages of a close game.
You know what's worse, though? When Tim Redding is your fifth starter. Because you know what that means, don't you? It means that Livan Hernandez is your fourth starter. I happened to be at the ballpark in San Francisco last Friday night, and I just sat there in the first inning, dumbfounded, as Hernandez gave up hit after hit after hit. I can't say that I exactly felt sorry for Hernandez -- after all, nobody forced him to take the Mets' money this spring -- but I couldn't quite help myself.
More, though, I felt sorry for Mets fans who have to put up with a pitcher like Livan Hernandez every five days (particularly if he really is the club's fourth starter, and really will pitch every five days). Frankly, there's simply no excuse for a team with a new ballpark and a $150 million payroll to trot Hernandez out there regularly, and wind up with Jeremy Reed at first base in a close game, and Angel Pagan in left field at the same moment, and ... Well, you get the idea. I can't feel sorry for the Mets, and I can't feel too sorry for their fans. Not with that payroll. As a guy who just likes to watch good baseball, though, I find this odd collection of talent just a little bit offensive.
