It’s very much like the Mets have set up shop next to a competing Pizza place that has great tasting real NY pizza and all the mets are serving is Small frozen Stoufers Pizza made in the Microwave.

It’s a damn shame what is going on and I don’t know how they think they can compete with the product they keep trying to sell us and the excuses they make for having it.

So, how about that Cards/Braves game?

IF fly rule-gate. I was starting to wonder if the Braves fans were ever gonna stop throwing crap onto the field.

Funny you should mention that….

I don’t access from a smart phone but do from a tablet.
I happen to like the full access site on my tablet. I’m used to it on TRDM, but I was sorry to see it change on here in the past week or so.

Ah…but I guess to each his own.

Side note, nice job Joe finally using the same mobile theme we do. Much more functional.

they could (COULD) activate him still. Who knows, they still have Gio, Zimmerman, Jackson

I’m just wondering about one thing we will not see in the playoffs. Steven Strausburg.

Would Washington shutting him down shut down their post-season chances?

So far a great job by STL getting out in front, not letting ATL’s strength be a factor in this game thus far. (Costanza just tripled)

I’d only root for NYY if they play PHI.

I’m with you Metsie! I will root for the Evil Empire just because the Yankees winning it all will make the Wilpon organization look even more inept and lame if that’s even possible!

I keep hoping for a black hole to appear at CitiField and take the Wilpons and SA away to another galaxy so they can screw up some other planets franchise.

I hear ya but the April, May A’s are not the ones playing Texas.

Obp, avg, hits – all below average in these categories…Pretty bad actually. When combined with the things they do well, they’re still bottom half of the league in hitting which is why I say mediocre. That’s looking at the entire season, I understand the second half has been better.

7th in baseball in HR
1st in Runs Scored since All Star Break
1st in HR since all star break

I agree with you they have flaws, but I totally think the word “mediocre” is reserved for other teams’ offense…. not Oakland’s

Offensively, they are mediocre…they will get exposed by Detroit’s pitching. Playoff inexperience also will rear its ugly head.

LOL I’m actually rooting for the Yankees…They ARE from NY and We will get to stick it in the eye of all the Moneyballers!

May the Yankees choke, and the A’s lose in 3.

Can I ask a question Mitch?

I don’t wanna give away my (our) playoff predictions for tomorrow but

“Oakland’s weaknesses will be exposed”

What do you think they are?
