JoeyN Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Well finally tonight the baseball season begins with the Yanks vs Sox . Been looking forward to seeing how my Mets do this year. I dont expect miracles but i do want to see a above .500 team for a change There was a obsticle for me however. Time warner/cable vision are having a battle. Cablevision here owns Fox Sports NY and MSG network which air the mets games and they want to raise the fee TW pays by 20%. However next year the Mets are getting there own station owned by Timewarner/comcast so they are not going to give in to the raise in price considering fsny/msg will only have hockey teams(if hockey returns) and the knicks left. So this season 100 games wont be seen by TW subscribers. So i did the thing any loyal baseball fan would do. I bought a DirectTV reciever(already had a sat on the roof) and signed up to get my baseball :tu capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Derek Lowe did pretty good for his first outing as a Dodger but the lack of offense bit us in the arse again. Yes HD has been added to Directv too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Joey, I'm starting to feel for you buddy. The Mets are now 0-4 for the first time since 1964. In other news, Roger Clemens is still a machine. This guy is unbelievable. He's definitely earning his exhorbent salary this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I'm starting to feel for you buddy. The Mets are now 0-4 for the first time since 1964 Ive pretty much become immune to the mets ways. Im more shocked when they actually win Ive now changed my avatar to reflect the same old mets ways capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarface7 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 The Mets got all that talent but forgot their bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Good god. Baseball in NYC is quite the thing right now. I bailed on the Yankees game only to come back to discover they came back :tu but only to see that the Mets have gone 0-5?! :eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Forget the bullpen, someone teach the Mets to hit with runners in scoring position. Im hoping on the bright side. Usually the mets loose the last 5 games of the season. Maybe this year they loose the first 5 and go from there capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTello Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I agree, great series, but,... too bad some idiotic fans had to ruin it. Are you referring to the guy that Sheffield bumped into and then got ejected for interference? 1. Yes, he did interfere, but it was obvious that he had no intention to screw up the play. The replay clearly showed that the guy infact was trying to keep other fans from interfering with the play and since he was looking and waving back the fans he screwed up and didn't get out of the way himself. I do feel bad for the guy. All kinds of idiots fans have gotten in the way in recent years, and this guy ends up doing it by accident in the process of trying to prevent it. The new updated lesson we fans know have to remember is, stay away from the play at absolutley all costs. I liked the way NESN (the sox television broadcaster) handled the situation, in that they examined the play fully, and then kept viewers updayed on the ejected fans situation. Originally the police said he was arrested, but after review the Red Sox reported that he would just be ejected. Of course maybe you weren't talking about the ejected fan. Maybe you were talking about that silly Sox fan who caught the first foul ball,... Doug Flutie! (Really, Doug Flutie did catch that ball, no kidding! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Are you referring to the guy that Sheffield bumped into and then got ejected for interference? Wow. This was reported and shown completely differently on YES. You could see the guy swiping at Sheffield and then another guy dumping beer on him. The guy wasn't "protecting" anyone - he was being an idiot, at least from all the footage and reporting I've seen. I don't see how he was keeping other fans from interfering - he swiped down out onto the field and, ultimately, into Sheffield's face.

Whooter Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 This was reported and shown completely differently on YES. Shocking! :thud I know of course I'll sound biased, but the fan's getting a bad rap. Dude wasn't even looking at Sheffield when he made contact with him, he was looking towards the infield. Why he was swinging his arm around like that, I dunno. I can't tell whether the beer dumping was intentional or not. After watching it on TIVO about 15 times it looks like the guy got his beer hand bumped by one of the women next to him when Sheffield went after the first guy. Regardless, the Yankee fans/players will see it one way, and Red Sox fans/players will see it another... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Mets fans see it as, it dosnt matter what happened. The guy still made contact with sheffield no matter what his intentions were. Keep hands in the stands, not onto the field of play capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Even though I'm a DIEHARD Yankee fan I cant help but root for the Mets this year. I have great respect for Willie Randolph. He was a great Yankee and a class individual. They have a much stronger team this year. I think the key is to keep Reyes healthy and just like everyone else, they need some middle relief. I think Willie will be around for quite a while. As far as the Sheffield thing. Its simple. Keep your hands to yourself and let the players play. You guys see Doug Flutie catch the foul ball?

JoeyN Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Yeah Flutie with the catch. I was very happy when Randolph was picked as manager. You can see in the first 9 games of the year that this team plays the game like he did. They use there speed and it works. The mets pen has given up 0 ER in the last 7 innings which is a plus and the starting pitching from the top 3 has been excellent. I just wish we had Kris Benson back already so Heilman will go away forever. Jose Reyes is a special player. My lord that guy is so fast its not even funny. The one thing i want to see Willy do is move Piazza down to 6 or 7th in the lineup. hes not a cleanup hitter anymore capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
