Isn't it possible to enjoy winning and think about the future? I like multi-tasking.

It just gets very old hearing about trades every single time Brian Roberts does anything well (which of course is several times a game so it gets really incessant). Let Andy MacPhail mull the trade possibilities. As a fan, as long as he's on your team you root for him to do well... one day at a time.

This pixie dust is going to wear off soon enough, but it's fun while it lasts.

Until it does, I think most of us just want to enjoy this.. Baseball is fun to watch, but it's even more fun when your team is winning....

75% of the posts on the site are speculative about the future. Why is a Brian Roberts trade off limits?

B-U-R-R-E-S. Sorry, this is something that just bugs me. There's no extra S on his name so why do people keep putting one there? :eek:

When I do it, it's only to remind people how Super he is.

I just assumed everyone was doing it for the same reason.

Tricky, tricky. I thought you were Mackus.
Oh I believe too!

You wouldn't want to be my Met-fan roomate right now. I'm only gonna get a couple weeks if that to lord my team over him, so he's getting it excessively.

Ok, whatever just happened caused Gamecast to poop itself. Can someone elaborate?

First and third, one out. Ball get away from Ramon, but not that far. Bradley takes off from third. Burres covers home, gets the toss, tags out Bradley. Two out. Next batter(Murphy) lines out to Millar. Rally snuffed.

LUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • All I can think is that Hyde did not want Coulombe to throw more than an inning today, if at all.  Otherwise, Coulombe is most likely not available tomorrow.  Not saying it was the right move (non-move), but I can understand the thinking. The bigger problem is the only other reliever available is Vieira.  The FO assumed everyone would be healthy, which was a mistake.  They did not improve the bullpen at the beginning of the season merely by signing Kimbrel.  The bullpen is certainly weaker this season with no other trades, no other free agents brought in, and no one ready in the minors.  So Hyde is stuck with a bullpen that feels like it's weaker than it was in April.  The silver lining has been Kimbrel of late, who I admit I thought was done.  He's not who he used to be but can get the job done when used right.  
    • I guess that makes sense. Screwed either way.
    • It was the highest leverage one, by far.  If he’d grounded out in the prior AB instead of hitting a single I wouldn’t have mentioned it.  
    • It wasn’t even really a swing, more like a one-handed downward chop just loosening up.  Got Mateo square at the bottom of the back of his helmet.  I’m sure Mullins had no idea Mateo was behind him. BRob was announcing the game and boy was he horrified about what happened, given the consequences of hitting himself in the helmet with his own bat back in 2010.   Let’s hope this isn’t as serious.  
    • I agree that it wasn't a good choice. I just find it amusing that when guys make "bad choices" and it works out folks are quiet.  Or when folks make bad choices at unimportant times. Some folks even take a bad outcome and go back and look for the "bad choice" that they can link to it. It was a bad at bat.  His was far from the only one.  
    • He did do this.   That wouldn't have been a bad outcome.
    • His propensity for swinging at low pitches has always bugged me. He does have some success at times.  The ground single he hit earlier also was below the zone.  I still think that Cleavinger AB was a bad situation for it.
