Phightins Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 The most homeruns by any Met player at Citi Field this year is 5 (Sheffield, Wright, Tatis). Chase Utley has 4. Kind of crazy, considering the Phillies as a team hit horribly there, with the exception of one or two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Delgado was in the lineup he'd have at least 10 there and Beltran would have more than 5 as well. Reyes might even have more than 5. Wright changed his approach so he doesn't try to hit for power much any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Fish what do you think of Pedro Martinez? If you were at the game tomorrow, would you "boo" him? Not going to judge you, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I liked him and if I were going I'd cheer for him because when he was healthy he was worth every penny. I think he will get boo'd though especially because he signed with the Phillies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They apparently showed him on the scoreboard in game 1 of the series and everybody booed. I can understand people being upset that he signed with the Phillies, but it's not like he left on bad terms or anything. He said his first choice was to go back to the Mets but they did not want him. He never badmouthed the team or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdog17k Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 This is going to be interesting. I'm watching this game for the sole purpose that Pedro will be pitching in New York. Heh, hope it's a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 OH [expletive] BECAUSE PHILLIES ARE RHIANNA AND THE METS ARE CHRIS BROWNÂ I actually laughed my [expletive] off at that line. Â That was actually pretty funny, but even funnier now a couple months after they made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Wow....Eric Bruntlett turns an unassisted triple play to end the game. Crazy [expletive]. And Lidge looked good yet again. He has looked really good for the past 2 weeks despite not always getting the results, but has had [expletive] luck and [expletive] defense behind him. The defense looked like it was going to fail him again today until Bruntlett bailed them out. Â Also, Pedro looked really shaky at first and looked like he was going to get rocked, but he settled down and went 6 giving up 4 runs. Probably could have pitched the 7th too but there was no need to push it. Edited August 23, 2009 by Phightins09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I still think Pedros done. He was facing one of the worst lineups in baseball today and still got knocked around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) I still think Pedros done. He was facing one of the worst lineups in baseball today and still got knocked around. I disagree. I think the emotion of facing his former team got the best of him early on. He was horrible when the Mets went to Fenway for the first time after he signed with him. What I liked was that Pedro got stronger as the game went on, and retired the last 6 guys he faced. He looked his strongest in that sixth inning and probably could have pitched the seventh too. He looked very good in Chicago with the exception of one inning, and he was great in the first three innings against Arizona before the rain delay forced him out of the game. I honestly did not expect much but he has been a pleasant surprise so far. I know one thing for sure, the Mets absolutely could have used him this year.

bigdog17k Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 What was up with Victorino not playing that ball, ughh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Because in every other ballpark where there is a gap under the padding, there is a ground rule saying to throw your arms up if the ball gets lodged and it's a ground rule double. He should have read up on the Citi Field ground rules I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 He should have read up on the Citi Field ground rules I guess. Yeah, that was odd, Citi Field has a different rule for that. I remember the my phi 17 guys were like wtf, I guess you gotta play it. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I don't understand why stadiums have that gap, though. It's frustrating for the outfielder when he expect the ball to ricochet and it goes into the gap instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hey Phightins, any explanation on why Hamels and Lidge are struggling this year? They were both fantastic last season. Hamels's ERA so far is 4.78 which is terrible, and apparently Lidge has been terrible for pretty much the entire season. Any reason why their play dropped off so much? Especially Hamels, who is still very young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly3rs18 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 mets fans suck. the stadium was empty and no one said anything to us (4 of us in phillies shirts) for almost the entire game. we even stood right outside the stadium trying to get comments and that barely worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish, Citi Field is really nice IMO. I like it a lot more than the new Yankee Stadium. The staff was all very friendly too. And to Jagmit...I have no idea to be honest. I can make educated guesses but I really have no idea. Lidge has looked decent the past 2 weeks though, but I am still waiting on Hamels to come around.

The mets fans in the parking lot were taking it on all 4's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
