People who think computers play baseball will say the Angels are down 2 games to 1. But computers don't play baseball. And when you have a teammate like Derek Jeter, and you see the way he goes about his business and how calm he is after a game like that, it's like you've won. So the computers may say the Angels are down just one game, but if you're in the Yankee clubhouse you feel like you just won two games. That's the kind of player Derek Jete -- ... I'm sorry, I came down here and Joe
I confess that I turned on the TV this afternoon more from duty than devotion. There were things to do, the memory of Saturday night's game was freshly dispiriting, and to my surprise I was curious to see what the transformed Jets were all about. Watching Pat Misch trying to escape the perils of the second inning didn't seem like the best way to ensure a pleasant Sunday afternoon ... But duty called, and so I watched, at first flipping over to the Jets-Titans every minute or so. (The fact that
I got in a fair amount of trouble earlier this summer for admitting I don't hate the Phillies. (Link omitted on purpose.) It only took me about half an inning tonight to remember how much I hate the Marlins ... I hate their horrible stadium, with its sacks of Soilmaster, acres of teal and football scars ... I hate their useless fans, all 2,200 of them ... I hate Cody Ross, that glistening stillborn newt ... I hate Jorge Cantu, from his beady eyes to his squashed, pocky cheeks to his knack for
Maybe I'd just gone numb, but a couple of weeks ago it seemed to me that the Mets at least stopped losing in horrifying ways and began losing in quiet, mundane ways. Not that it ultimately mattered to the bottom line -- for we the faithful it was kind of like being a lobster placed in water that was gradually brought to a boil instead of being hurled into something already bubbling and hissing -- but it sure felt less traumatic. I'd even come to feel gentler towards this batch of dog-eared,
You'd figure everybody had all the evidence they needed to prove just how inept the 2009 Mets were. They've filled gag reels and faux Monopoly boards with pops that were dropped, bases that went ungraced, fielders who fell and everything that went comically wrong — right? ... But wait! Another clip has revealed itself. It's footage from September 26, the 155th game of this besotted season. We pick up the action in the fifth inning of the Mets at Marlins, two outs, David Wright, All-American
Cory Sullivan's pinch-hit two-run single with the bases loaded in the ninth inning rallied the Mets to a 6-5 win. John Maine is scheduled to face the Marlins tonight. He threw five scoreless innings against the Nats on Sunday ...
Pinch-hitter Cory Sullivan delivered a go-ahead, two-run single in the ninth inning and the New York Mets beat Florida 6-5 on Friday night to hurt the Marlins' playoff hopes. Florida spoiled the Mets' postseason chances in each of the last two seasons but it was New York dealing out a damaging loss this year ...
Cory Sullivan believes Matt Holliday would be fine on any team in baseball, but the more Holliday's team is in contention, the better the superstar left fielder tends to be ... "I think it's evident when the teams are in it," Sullivan said yesterday, ...
