QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) I can't figure any point in the season where I would have ranked us as low as 7th ( our lowest ranking) I can't figure how the Mets are the best team in the NL right now. They are easily the best team in the NL East but thats about it. How on earth do they rank above the Sox? Id like to see what the Sox do to them head to head. Both notions are utterly laughable.

Anyone want to venture a guess if the Patriot Act/Wiretapping played a role in this?

I just realized something. The subtitle of this thread is "Put it all in here" I wonder how many times Fairyotti bends over and says that to his significant other?

QUOTE(Spiff @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 11:20 PM) What the hell? The Mets have the best record in the NL. Why are people just randomly making things up? Are you that insecure? The combination of hyperbole, ignorance and lack of direction in this thread is on the brink of making my head explode. Examples of hyperbole and ignorance please? Yeah we got a little off topic but I dont see the other stuff here.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) Isn't baseball the wildest, most awesome game? The first two games we explode to all those runs and you know that spells doom for tonight. We get what, two hits, yet still win on an out of nowhere gem by Freddie. Crazy game. It's to the Sox credit they won two blowouts, then could win with 2 hits. They won with 1 hit tonight.

Just watched Ozzie's reaction to his sentence from MLB regarding his Fairyotti comments........ "I no gon baa off him" "I apologize to da community but if he thin I apologize to him?!?! PFFFFT!" PURE f***ING GOLD RIGHT THERE

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 10:58 PM) Wirtz will be just above floor at 30=31 mil! Dollar Bill will cry poor and ask for a waiver to lower the cap to 10 million or so..........and 9.9 million of it will be used to buy cigars and scotch for himself and his lapdog Pulford.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) Don't look now, but we are approaching the mythical paradise known only as "the 9 game winning streak!" We gotta get the 1st 2 from the Astros to get there. Thats no easy task.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:38 PM) I'm just waiting for our pitching to get back to last year's level. That, combined with this devestating offense= for the rest of the league. Even with our pitching staff at 75% of where it was last year ( which is where I think it is right now ) we own this leauge.

Offensive stats are great but there's only one stat that matters. Wins

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) 0 for 4 night for Albert. Hopefully he worked out the kinks in his swing tonight and he goes off on the Pussycats. ^^^^^^^^^ Someone in the NL has to get it done against these guys.......may as well be the Cards.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) Remember when everybody (not me) was worried about Bobby before the season? Mad props to Freddy Garcia tonight. He's been taking a beating around here of late (deservedly so). Looks like he and Garland are getting back to last year's form. And GOOD GOD DAMN@THAT SHOT BY THOME! MERCY! You hear DJ? About a half second before Jim hit his HR DJ was saying "Thome is ready for launch" Thats almost as classic as when Podsednik hit that homer off Lidge in the WS and a second before that the announcer said that Lidge "Just got the taste of Pujols out of his mouth"

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) who gets more press: The Mets or Roger Clemens Hard to say. Both are pretty much non-factors in whats going on in MLB this season.

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) I bet Ozzie would of left Freddy in the ninth You're probably right and I dont know if Id have disagreed with it. Freddy had em on lockdown all game and easily could have finished. VOWWY is amazing though. Nobody in the MLB can touch him.

QUOTE(CardsJimEdmonds15 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) Yeah but we have Carpenter, Suppan, and Ponson pitching.. kill me Anyways this wasnt a great series for us by any means but it didnt surprise me.. well it did a little.. It's fine.. never have disliked the Sox and their fans (not saying that to suck up, it's the truth).. Perhaps, we shall meet later on and have a better series from our side? I can only hope! I certainly was surprised by what happened this series. Tonights game was a lot more like what I thought the series was gonna be...........great pitching and defense and 1st team to make a mistake would lose. Cards are gonna do some great things this season.........just not in our park.

QUOTE(3RDBASE @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:14 PM) ALBERT WHO? POST OF THE NIGHT RIGHT THERE!!!

QUOTE(lukeman89 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:12 PM) wow did bobby look on tonight. 99-100mph and a over handed yellow hammer that bites like my pet snake. hot damn freddy pitched incredible can't say enough about jermaine's play in RF and thome's mother f***ing monster shot makes me wonder how a human can hit a ball that far. the rest of the MLB better bow down to the white sox, they can win any game. tigers are s***tin their pants right now. The widdle kitties from Detoilet got brown streaks running all up and down their pants right now. The Sox are unstoppable!!!! 7 in a row!!!!!! QUOTE(CardsJimEdmonds15 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:12 PM) I could take this and say.. I hope the Tigers sweep us just to piss ya off more but I think we'll show up after this game You guys better do your job against Detroit,. Gotta take out all that aggression somewhere right?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:09 PM) Reyes pitched well. He did.........but not well enough. Garcia was in the zone tonight.

EAT s*** CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GOT YER ASS HANDED TO YOU THE LAST 2 NIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GOT YER ASS HANDED TO YOU AGAIN TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS TIME WE JUST TOYED WITH YOU SORRY ASSES TO MAKE YOU THINK YOU WERE ACTUALLY IN THIS GAME!!!!!! YOU NEVER WERE!!!!!! NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PUJOLS MY f***ING ASS..........THERES ONLY ONE HOMERUN HITTER IN THIS PARK TONIGHT AND THATS JIM MOTHERf***ING THOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A MONSTER f***ING SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T FORGET FAST FREDDY WITH 8 INNINGS OF TOTAL f***ING LOCKDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOWWY YENKS IN THERE TO FINISH THE JOB OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN PUT THAT s*** ON THE BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIMMIE A HELL f***ING YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DID YOU HEAR DJ?!?!?! About a half second before Thome hit that one DJ said "Thome's set to launch" LMFAO!!!!! HOW BOUT THAT s*** b****ES?!?!?

I think I should sell squares on what inning we score our 10th run tonight.

QUOTE(CardsJimEdmonds15 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 06:15 PM) Albert's work ethic is very very well.. I knew when he went out he'd be back in no time.. I didnt think it would be 2 weeks or so though.. but he said he wanted to play 1st when he returned over DH'ing because he feels fielding is just as important to the team as him DH'ing.. or something like that.. crazy I know.. Yes I'm worried he's coming back too soon but I'm not at all surprised he returns tonight.. Afterall they probably want our best out there for the Rookie pitching tonight.. As a Cardinal fan I want your opinion on something. Do you think Pujols would be back in the lineup if this series hadn't gone the way it has? Do you believe this is a desperation move on LaRussa's part to stop the bleeding?

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 03:54 PM) I dont care what people say, the Mets are good and the White Sox or any team from the AL should not take the NL lightly. Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, Wright is a hell of a line up considering they do not have a DH. And unlike most NL teams who suffer when it comes time to play with a DH, the Mets have guys like Milledge, etc who are just looking for a place to play. True the Mets pitching is not that great, but their offense has the tools to win any game. And in a 7 game series with Pedro going atleast 2 times, that is only 2 other games that they need to win. Its one thing to be confident, its another to be arrogant. And Reyes just went for the cycle last night, imagine Pods being able to do that. Yeah. He hit for the cycle and they lost. ( made a real difference I see ). QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 04:13 PM) That's assuming that Pedro wins both of his starts (or two of the three), which is far from a guarantee at this point in his career. He's a toss-up at best with Contreras or Mark, and the other one gives us an edge over Glavine. The Mets have no chance against us with Trachsel or whatever other crap they throw out there on the mound. Thats assuming a lineup like ours doesn't take him to the woodshed and spank him until his behind turns bright red. Right now there is no pitching staff who can shut this offense down in a 7 game series. Not one.
