One of the best days of the year for Mets fans!
Glavine is a-ok
Mets get Shawn Green (ok, it's not as big as the Abreu trade, but it will help, and the Mets didn't give up much)
Delgado extended his 30-HR's season streak and hits his 400th home run
and Beltran hit a come-from-behind walk-off home run!
I was at the game - first walk-off HR I ever saw in person!
Slick Willy (aka Bill Clinton) was in attendance as well :p |

word. i didn't get there til the 5th inning. i was at field level and walking behind home plate when i watched carlos delgado's grand slam go off into the night. great atmosphere all game. goddamnit, get rid of the wave at shea. there's an exciting game to watch.
i've watched a lot of walk off hits at shea this year. beltran knows when it's time to do something special. he was smiling like crazy for the first time. |

They need somebody to make up for the big-hype(Mr.Milledge), another Met position player bust, Melky looks like alot better prospect these days. Its amazing to me how bad of an outfielder he is. Shawn Greens stats look alot like a typical player in the Juiced ball era. He peaked in 01 a steady decline since. |

OR he's tailing off naturally like a regular player should who's not on steroids. at 28, 29 he'd be hitting his peak as a ballplayer. either way, an upgrade over a gimp floyd and inconsistent milledge. |

HAHAHAHA at calling Milledge a bust.
Lastings Milledge: 130 AB .238/.310/.400
Mystery Player in 2004: 138 AB .246/.333/.406
Both are natural Center Fielders. The Mystery Player is in the AL.
So, before you call Milledge a "bust," realize that not all hot prospects come up and instantly produce like David Wright or Miguel Cabrera. |

True, 6 1/2 games up...not sure where I'm supposed to be crying. Every team struggles at some stages. Yanks are also winning despite having a pitcher hitting in the meat of the order and striking out 10/12 times.
By the way, K Rod is a douche. Not Francisco Rodriguez. The other bum. |

Any bets on when Carl Pavano will pitch again in the bigs, either for the Yankees or another team?
Man, first his shoulder problem last year, then he hurt a buttock (or was it both of them?) in the spring, and now this...
He apparently suffered two broken ribs in a car accident, but didn't tell anyone for 2 weeks, and still pitched some rehab games |
