Ryan Church (left) is the bomb-dropping, cannon-armed, christian-gangsta-rapper, that Milledge will never be.But, Church, what are you doing? It's the fucking last out of the game, it's over, the Mets offense is abysmal. You're about to get swept, it's not your fault. You're carrying this freakin' team. Don't put yourself in harms way to try and get fucking Damian Easley off the hook. Just peel off.
If you didn't see it, Church took a knee to the head while trying to break up a double-play on the last play of the doubleheader that just ended.
FYI, the Mets got swept. I couldn't watch the second game. Tom Glavine dealt on them in game 1. Awful. The whole team should be ashamed of themselves. Then they let Jorge Campillo, a career Mexican Leaguer, drop curveballs on them all night. Seriously, the guy spent eight years, his entire twenties, pitching in the Mexican League.
Well, it just might be time to resign to the fact that the Mets are a .500 ballclub. They'll continue to give us some really great games, but also continue to give us some absolute disgraces against poor teams and poor pitchers.
I actually watched most of the 2nd game against Campillo. And i watched the post game for the first time this year and was surprised to see Harold Reynolds with Mazz. Harold Reynolds went on to bash Church's decision at the end of the game saying he was in the wrong. By saying he staying on his feet too long instead of sliding earlier. That makes no sense Harold. Escobar was way up the line because it was a fast/easy double-play, so he should have just peeled off, he didn't have time to get close enough to slide and try to break it up. There was no WRONG intent or anything like that, it just was an awkward play that Church should have gotten his ass out of the way instead. Mazz wasn't really that smart either in saying he was trying to fire up his team. He was just trying to do a textbook play but it was on him up the line too fast and it was unfortunate. You at least know Beltran would have been trotting toward the dugout as soon as the pitcher caught that grounder.
ReplyDeleteThe Mets were down right boring in game 2. It's amazing that Church is the 'excitement' for the Mets. There is some energy missing somewhere, not sure if it's Valentin, LoDuca, Milledge or maybe all three.
Nobody misses LoDuca, come on. That guy was awful last year. He would argue at umpires for no reason, he was just psycho.
