2008 Running Baseball Thread, Part the Ninth

So after getting one-hit for eight innings by Ubaldo Fucking Jimenez, the Mets load the bases with none out and score ... no runs.

Yep, Willie was the problem. When does Minaya go on the chopping block?

 

Bad firing practices lead to bad karma, or so I've heard.

 

Yet lil' Jeffy Wilpon continues his reign of terror. Go fig.

 

I just read an AP brief that said the Mets have hired ex-Reds GM Wayne Krivsky as a special assistant to Minaya. Does that mean Wilpon is putting Omar on notice?

Anyone who takes a position with the Mets is batshit crazy, desperate or both.

 

Krivsky hadn't been out of work long either. Reds fired him in April, and it was widely figured that he'd find work pretty quickly. That's why I'm wondering if the Mets might have hired him as GM-in-waiting much like the Reds did with Walt Jocketty.

 

You're hired!

 

And how'd that work out for them? ;D [/yeah, still pathetically waving her Homer Hanky]

 

Kent Hrbek cheated.

 

Them's fightin' works, 2MCM.

And he did not.

 

Anybody seen Chase (O)Utley lately?
Benched today after 0-for-23 in the past week.

And for all you bravesfanboiloosers...chipper is 7 for his last 33...and is never going to see .400 again.
