njmeadowlanders Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 When the email is combined with the Adam Rubin stuff it comes off hollow, and its about the 20th apology email they have sent me.Who is Adam Rubin?The media outlets are overloaded here today with "yet another one step forward two steps backwards" Met PR nightmare. He is the reporter who broke the Tony Bernazard story last week, which led to the black-eye for the organization which was only compounded when Omar directly called him out during his press conference to fire Bernazard. What a nightmare. The Mets really should never hold another press conference...ever, because every time they open their mouths, they're only digging a deeper hole for themselves.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/base...zard/index.htmlThen the news conference took a bizarre turn when the focus shifted to Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News and a series of stories he wrote, documenting problems in the club's minor league system.Now, there may be truth to Rubin lobbying for a front office job in the past, there may not be. If there isn't though, like I said above, that's slander folks.Regardless, that's not the place for dirty laundry to be aired. The Mets look even more foolish and come off as even more of a laughingstock, rinse and repeat.I didn't think after everything that's gone on with this team on and off the field so far in 2009 that I could be more embarrassed to be a Met fan or more stunned at anything that happened to them/they did. I guess I was wrong--there was a way to be more embarrassed and stunned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmac Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Sounds like Arroyo could be heading to the Yanks.A Yankees reporter has shot down that rumor.

No official word yet.The Yankees now say "a deal was unrealistic because Arroyo makes too much money for our liking."From what I read, Brett Gardner may have been part of the deal. Since he is now on the DL, could this be why the rumor was shot down? Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Speaking of grand slams, Alfonso Soriano crushed a walk-off granny in the 13th at Wrigley tonight to beat the 'Stros. Chicago wins again and keeps a 1/2 game lead over St. Louis in the Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can this be considered within the top five (or less) of the rarest hitting achievements in baseball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 As for the other link, it should be stated that zero of the facts have come out about this, and it is very possible that it had nothing to do with the game at all. (So far, at least) it's not like a group of Phillies fans jumped and killed a Cardinal.Exactly. Who the hell knows why. It could've been a fan, it could've not been. It could've been for a myriad of reasons that a fight broke out.Regardless though, there's no reason someone had to die. Period. Humanity is the one that suffers, I don't care what team you root for.More on the beating death. A couple of rowdy thugs with priors, getting drunk and mad. The 22-year-old guy that was killed was part of the bachelor party group, and was the bachelor's future brother-in-law.http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking...?cmpid=15585797 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Morons. Ruined countless lives because a beer got knocked over. Anything they get is too good for them. I'm also mortified that there wasn't ANYONE who tried to step in an try to let cooler heads prevail, at least not according to what I've read.The article does bring up a good point though. There should be a zero-tolerance policy (not just in the city of Philly). Anything happens, the cops come. Period. I don't care if it's Philadelphia or Phoenix, or some small bar in the middle of Montana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Giants aquire Garko from Indians for minor leaguerCan't say I know much about Ryan Garko, how much is he gonna help? He CAN'T be the big move for a Bat San Fran was talking about, can he?Eh, I was never high on him in Cleveland but he'll probably give you guys some production, and started playing some corner outfield this year. But no he can't be the big move, he might end up as a pinch hitter for you guys.FWIW, Garko attended college at Stanford and usually plays good on the west coast.

STL FANATIC Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Congrats to Josh Willingham for hitting 2 Grand Slams against the Brewers. First person to achieve such a feat since Bill Mueller of the Red Sox did so on June 29, 2003.IIRC didn't Billy do it from opposite sides of the plate?Yes, he did.http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats11.shtmlThere's only been 13 occurrences of hitting 2 Grand Slams in a game. 10 times in the AL and only 3 times in the NL. Can this be considered within the top five (or less) of the rarest hitting achievements in baseball?Quite possibly.My favorite occurance of this was back in 1999 when Fernando Tatis, then with the Cardinals, hit two Grand Slams IN THE SAME INNING to nearly the same spot deep over the left-field wall in Dodger Stadium. Making the feat even crazier is that for some reason Chan Ho Park was still around the second time and gave up both Slams.That is the only time a player has ever hit two in the same inning, and it resulted in Tatis setting the record for RBIs in a single inning (8).

njmeadowlanders Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Tatis also hit a pinch-hit grand slam last night, how's that for a coincidence. It was the first Mets PH Grand Slam since Todd Pratt did it in 2000 @ LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Now that the Phillies have been kicked to the curb in the Halladay sweepstakes, Boston has reportedly made a deal that includes Clay Buchholz, Pawtucket pitcher Michael Bowden and Boston's top outfield prospect Ryan Westmoreland.http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=285985I don't know what Bowden and Westmoreland are like maybe one of our many Red Sox fans can chime in.

TFoA Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Why is this even being reported when even Boston doesn't wanna do that trade (allegedly)? Plus, the Jays would have to be absolute idiots to trade him within the division. There's a better chance of me taking home Angel Lola Luv TONIGHT than this trade going down.
