Meaningful games in August

Maybe it was ingrained in me in the 70′s but these west coast swings scare me. My team disappears from my consciousness for two weeks and then ones bak dead.

I haven’t seen much baseball since the break but I can read a boxscore.

I’ve really enjoyed this season but I hope there is still a season to enjoy come August.

As for Ollie, here’s how I would use him.  Say I found myself down 6 in the second inning.  I would hand Ollie the ball – and let Ollie know that even if the score is 34-2 that nobody is coming to get him.  Ever.

What’s really scary is that folks are saying “oh good, Dickey pithes tonight.”  How did the season get to that point.  I know he’s been good, but Omar isn’t that smart.  The wheels are going to come off RA’s magical season sooner or later – otherwise I would be wise to buy the movie rights and sell them to Disney.

Dickey, Niese and Takahashi to save the season.   Let’s Go Mets.

    Relying on Maine and Perez in April is what gets you to the point of relying on R. A. Dickey in July.

    Not for nothing, Dickey, Neise and Takahashi already saved the season. The Mets were on a road to no where when they all stepped up. (takahasi not so much lately). It’s time for the offense and Pelfrey to save our season. It wasn’t long ago when we were talking about Pelfrey starting a game 1 in the play offs over Johan. Now it looks like he belongs in the minors again. He better step up.

  • My new favorite Met: #13 Mike Nickeas

     

    Again, the site is having major problems…hence the funkiness….what totally sucks was today was gonna be “work ahead” day.  Oh well.

    While I try to recover ALL the posts (doh!!!!!!) I’ll continue typing over here in the orange box.

    So why is Mike my favorite Met?  Because I love the number thirteen.

    (Actually my favorite Met is future Hall of Famer Jon Niese.  I intended to post today about “Mets I like” - but not having a blog at all is sort of screwing with the plan for the day)

    FLUSHING, N.Y., September 2, 2010 – The New York Mets today announced they selected the contract of catcher Mike Nickeas from Buffalo (AAA) of the International League.  To make room on the 40-man roster, the team transferred righthanded pitcher John Maine to the 60-Day Disabled List.  Nickeas will wear uniform #13 and will be available for tonight’s game in Atlanta.

     

    Nickeas, 27, began the season at Binghamton (AA) of the Eastern League, where he hit .283 (75-265) with five home runs and 33 RBI in 82 games.  The 6-0, 210-pound Nickeas joined Buffalo in late August, playing in seven games and hitting .214 (6-28).

     

    The native of Vancouver, Canada originally was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the fifth round of the 2004 First Year Player Draft before being traded to the Mets on August 30, 2006 for outfielder Victor Diaz.

  • The site at metspolice.com is experiencing technical problems.

    Remember those other 7,000 posts from the last three years?   Media Goon is down in the basement retyping them.

    Until he finishes,I will use the Tumblr as a workaround.

    metspolice.tumblr.com or just stare right here and ignore that white space on the left.   Might be a while…
