Official Thread of the 2005 Season of Major League Baseball

Its been awhile since this thread was bumped.

Here in NYC things have changed big time... weeks ago the Yanks were going to the gutter while the Mets were playing spirited and competitive baseball. Its all reversed now. The Yanks have been playing really well and just swept the Pirates and Cubs while the Mets have been embarrassing against the A's and Mariners.


In fact.. Willie blew the Mariners series by pitching twice to Ichiro with men on base in the first game of the series ...PITCHED TO ICHIRO WHO IS A HITTING MACHINE..WHAT ARE YOU DOING WILLIE!!! ... then on sunday after Tom Horrific (thats Glavine to the rest of you...) stinked up the joint by giving up 6 runs by the 3rd inning Willie bring in Aaron Heilman who pitches 2+ scoreless innings. The Mets were catching up scoring 5 runs... then instead of keeping Heilman who was has been great he brings in MIKE DEJEAN WHO IMPLODED... WHAT ARE YOU DOING WILLIE!!! AARRGGHHHHH!!!

...and will the Mets fucking DL Beltran.. the man is playing fucking hurt. Give him 2 freakin weeks to heal!! Beltran by the way has been underwhelming at best this season but he has been hurt.. DL HIM DAMMIT!

...the Mets are giving me a damn headache now.. excuse me while I get some aspirin.

The Yankees started a series with Tampa Bay tonight, and you know what that means.....the start of another losing streak

Spo called it.

Red Sox were a half-game back before tonight's game - and Wakefield was great tonight, 8 innings of 2 hit baseball. 8-0 against the Phillies.

Think having Mirabelli back made a difference??


As for the Mets they took 2 out of 3 from the Phils and the first game of the subway series from the Yanks with a good performance by Pedro...though Looper as usual did his garbage and made Mets fans nervous.

Mets take the first 2 games against the Yanks and go for sweep tomorrow versus Randy Johnson. Cliff Floyd is a monster, team defense has been good, pitching has been fine.


Bernie Williams has been brutal in centerfield the past couple of games..really sad to watch considering how good he's been.


Red Sox are back in first place and they are killing the Phillies and will go for a sweep themselves tomorrow. Matt Clement has been great and really a total steal for the Red Sox.

Nationals keep on freakin winning... they have the best home record of ANY major league team.

Does anyone know the last time the Yankees were at .500 this "late" in the season?

I know the Mets were solid last year up until the trading deadline, then.... you know.

Im pretty sure Manny will break Gehrig's record for most grand slams in a career. That'll get him into the HOF.

Prior is back. For awhile I was regretting my pick of the cubs coming out of the NL but I think they can get the wild card even without Nomar.

Yah, I miss him quite a bit. He just never got any run support out here in chicago last season. It was like every game he started, nothing from the bats.

I love Lou Gherig by the way.

As for Prior, what a fantastic game he pitched yesterday! 6 full innings of one hit ball against the best team in all of baseball! We stole some bleacher seats with standing room only tickets, rock on!

That stupid asshole Looper choked last night and cost the Mets a sweep at Yankees stadium.

No doubt. I was one half inning away from being able to search for chunks of Steinbrenner's exploded head in my lawn. :mad:
