Because of construction, parking problems, traffic, and apathetic corporate fans, the stadium doesn't hit the given day's capacity until the 4th inning...and because of the insipid 7 train turnstiles, most fans cut out by the 8th to avoid a one-hour line to get through 4 turnstiles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-76166222337368165112007-05-16T12:47:00.000-04:002007-05-16T12:47:00.000-04:00I wasn't expecting a Mike Piazza-style, grown-men-...I wasn't expecting a Mike Piazza-style, grown-men-weeping, five minute ovation, but I was a little disappointed with the welcome Cliff got upon his first AB.<BR/><BR/>I guess one of those now-effortless hits 6 monts ago would have ensured a more rapturous return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-78758543070061755692007-05-16T12:10:00.000-04:002007-05-16T12:10:00.000-04:00Lost in the blogsphere is that the Mets came upame...Lost in the blogsphere is that the Mets came upame against Zambrano who was showcasing his wares for Omar. Green was thrown out at the place then Endy grounded out with two on after the Green HR. if that goes right maybe Maine does not lose this game and its 3-3. <BR/><BR/>I am elated that LoDuca is not hitting 2nd every day. I like him hitting behind wright etal. But why was endy hitting 2nd? <BR/><BR/>Willie has suffered with Wright 2nd and now he has busted out hitting near .500 last week. Easley was also big in the #2 spot. Both have decent on base instincts. I also think Loduca SHOULD hit 2nd at least 1/3 of the time. Endy is NOT a #2 hitter. In fact he is not a starter. Ditto for Franco.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-20385521115300603942007-05-16T11:33:00.000-04:002007-05-16T11:33:00.000-04:00Schoeneweis has got to stop it with the walks. 13...Schoeneweis has got to stop it with the walks. 13 in 16 innings?

However, I wa...I, like most Mets fans, liked Cliff. However, I was accepting of letting him go for youth(theoretically Milledge) in left field. I wasn't approving of the Alou trade. Why let a loyal, crowd-beloved, injury prone player go for a not quite as nice, injury prone player? Sure, Alou's probably a better player, but our offense wasn't lacking. I think Cliff's a good player, I think with every day playing time, he could very well have a 2005 type season where he hit a bunch of home runs and drove in over 100, especially on a Mets team with lots of guys on base. <BR/><BR/>I think this game proved the most about Maine. Anyone can get in hot streaks and grooves, it's minimizing the down time, and the struggles that makes a great pitcher. Oliver Perez and Mike Pelfrey both had big struggles, and ended up being removed mid-inning, or after three. John Maine battled, and managed to get through 5, with only 3 runs. Not great, an inning short of a quality start, but by no means insurmountable for the Mets to win. #60 took care of that part for us.Ceetarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667811940029102506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-79381990907766158482007-05-16T08:47:00.000-04:002007-05-16T08:47:00.000-04:00I still want Alou up with 2 men on in the ninth ga...I still want Alou up with 2 men on in the ninth game 7 of the NLCS.
