Feel the Comfort
There are a couple of ways to take solace in the fact that the Yankees are the hottest team in baseball.
First, they are doing it behind a guy named Shelley.
Second, the Mets are coming off one of their best series of the season.
Third, you can put news and Pedro in the same sentence...
Fourth, welcome back Moises Alou, the piece that puts this lineup over the top.
1. Shelley Duncan
At least his name isn't Betsy. And we mean no offense to any guys out there with female names. You don't play for the Yankees so we don't have much of a problem with you.
It always pains me when Roger Clemens throws well. Like the Duke in Major League, I wouldn't be surprised if he threw at one of his sons in a Father/Son game.
And this recent Yankee run is paining me to say the least. Over the last week I have found myself scoreboard watching a little more than usual. A perfect sign that the Yankees are winning a lot and Sip is unhappy.
2. Taking 3 of 4 from the Dodgers
I've seen a lot of the Dodgers and a lot of the NL West over the last two months. The Dodgers are the other best team in the National League.
Doing what we did to Derek Lowe is not normal. He's been unreal this year.
And taking 3 of 4 from this team is a real sign for the Mets. This was the best team in the NL and the Mets dominated a series in their home.
3. Pedro
Apparently he threw another simulated game on Monday.
All year I have told you guys two things. The Yankees will make the playoffs and Pedro will not pitch for the Mets this season. Somewhere, Happy Will is crying.
I hope I am wrong on both fronts.
To give you some perspective, I am a lot more confident in Pedro not pitching than the Yankees not making the playoffs. There are two months in the season and he is not close.
Why would the Mets be rumored to be interested in a pitcher if Pedro was coming back? They have 4 solid starters.
4. Welcome Back Moises
The forgotten man. Do you guys remember how nasty our lineup was in April? With Moises hitting at No. 6, the Mets lineup was stacked top to bottom. The whole lineup, sans D Wright, was killing the ball.
When this guy comes back, watch out. More protection for Delgado.
If he can stay healthy, I will be very confident about the Mets. And you all know me. That doesn't happen often.
Tis all.
Vaya,
Sip

consider yourself not surprised: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11579036/
I saw some clip of Pedro tossing in a bullpen and his motion looked weird...like he was shortarming the ball...It coulda been that the angle I had was very atypical of any angle we see on television, but it did alarm me.
I thought this Duncan dude was like 21,22 and about ot work out...He 27!! fuk outta here ahhahahaa. he posed to be doing what he did. he too old to be nervous ahhaha.
How bad is matt kemp in right field ? whose spot did he take sheesh...he misjudged a ball at night and another pop up in the day within 48 hours. he needs to be on suicide watch.
The Mets have not had serious interest in a starter.
