Dodgers 1st 5 innings was the better play in this pitching matchup

Meet the Mets, meet the Mets,
Step right up and greet the Mets.
Bring your kiddies, bring your wife,
Guaranteed to have the time of your life.
Because the Mets are really sockin' the ball,
Knockin' those home runs over the wall.
East side, West side, everybody's coming down,
To meet the M-E-T-S Mets, of New York town.

Oh, the butcher and the baker and the people on the streets,
Where did they go? To MEET THE METS!
Oh, they're hollerin' and cheerin' and they're jumpin' in their seats,
Where did they go? To MEET THE METS!
All the fans are true to the orange and blue,
So hurry up and come on down -
'cause we've got ourselves a ball club,
The Mets of New York town!

Give 'em a yell! Give 'em a hand!
And let 'em know you're rootin' in the stands!
Come on and...

Meet the Mets, meet the Mets,
Step right up and greet the Mets.
Bring your kiddies, bring your wife,
Guaranteed to have the time of your life.
Because the Mets are really sockin' the ball,
Knockin' those home runs over the wall.
East side, West side, everybody's coming down,
To meet the M-E-T-S Mets,
Of New York town,
Of New York town.

Not all books offer 1st 5 innings.


I agree though.  Torre is a moron.  Him giving a hit and then a homerun was not a sign to take him out?  Now he gives up another hit and another run to lose the lead.

I just don't get it.

I like how he couldn't pull the fat fuck after the Mets tied it. No, let's wait until they take the lead and then pull him when it's too late.

its amazing how stupid fuckin managers really are, even so called good ones.  I guess torre needed to lose the lead before he was able to see that the guy was throwing beachballs.

Why don't managers see this?  Whats the reasoning to leave him in after giving up 2 runs?  Is there any at all?

WAY TO TYPICAL OF MODERN MANGERS...HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE A STARTING PITCHER GET TAKEN OUT IN LATE INNINGS AND THE BULLPEN QUICKLY GIVE UP A LEAD.


GO OLD SCHOOL...PUT SOME CONFIDENCE IN YOUR STARTING PITCHERS.  


LOST ART OF THE COMPLETE GAME!!!!

Say your prayers little one
Dont forget, my son
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Somethings wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they arent of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, dont say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
Its just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Were off to never never land

A lot of managers are idiots, but Torre is one of the best.

In my opinion is was the right move to pull Billingsley and put Broxton in. I was on the Dodgers today too, so I'm in the same situation as most of you. I still think it was the right move though.

Broxton is one of their best relievers, and to the idiot saying Broxton and Saito have been struggling, what are you talking about? Broxton hadn't allowed a run in his last six appearances and Saito has been money all season minus the Cubs outing where he didn't have his control.

Sometimes managers make the right decision and it doesn't work out. This was one of those times.

ebear and others.....I guess this is where I get to come in to a thread and sell......................
 
Question to my fellow bettors:  Have you ever bet a football or basketball game where you bet the first half?....I'm gonna guess that the answer is yes.
 
Follow-up question to my fellow bettors: Have you ever bet a baseball game for the "first half?"...I'm gonna guess no.
 
There is this "macho thing" in gambling where big men with hairy chests can bet halftime in football and basketball; but if you bet halftime in baseball....you're (fill in your own typecast here).
 
ELIMINATE THE BULLPENS....ELIMINATE THE MANAGERIAL MOVES...ESPECIALLY IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE....
 
When you start to handicap a baseball game, you look at the starting pitchers and the oppposing lineups...right?..Of course.
 
WHY NOT START AND STOP YOUR CAPPING RIGHT THERE!
 
When you go to the bar and buy yourself an adult beverage, does the bartender ask you if you made that money by betting fullgame or halfgame?......don't think so....
 
Be smart....be really smart....eliminate all the crap that starts with inning #6.........Come over to the "dark side" and join the growing cult of bettors who ONLY play 5 inning bets....
 
End of soapbox....off to Happy Hour...
 
PS>>>>Check my thread, I had LAD & Billingsly for 5......
