Latinlawyer Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 hahaha,, Nothing to fear,, Both of these teams will more than likely be in playoffs.. Not worried. I think the Mets will be fine. I don't see a prob with the yanks...they have the resources to get more pitchers plus they have phil hughes ready to come up and that kid is scary good. Even though Clemens will probably go to Boston or Houston, if the Yanks follow the Boss, Clemens may just land in the Bronx being catered to by big STEIN himself. Either way, a couple of losses doesnt signal year over. NY still will be in both playoffs. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbn007 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Both teams will be fine. The pitching issues with the Yankees is more weather-related, as this week they were better, except for Farnsworth. Yankees need to stay healthy though. Mets have age issues with Glavine and El Duque. But Maine may be the real thing, although Perez is still an enigma. 7 walks, 1 HBP, but only 1 hit, in 2.2 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one to make excuses for a team when they don't get it done. Against the D' Rays the Yankees didn't play well. However, they've looked like a completely diffent team when they're not playing in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree AFJ, just don't see where Glavine or Duke have shown any reason this year to state there is issues with them due to age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I agree AFJ, just don't see where Glavine or Duke have shown any reason this year to state there is issues with them due to age. I agree about Glavine..he's as durable as can be expected from a guy with that kind of mileage. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesnt miss a start all season. El Duque on the other hand. I love the guy. He did a TON for the Yankees when they got their rings but a stint on the DL in inevitable and even if not..he's going to have that unexplainable bunch of games where he goes out there and just stinks up the joint. Oliver Perez? Man he's another one. I've said before that I don't blame the Mets for taking a flyer on him. A guy with that kind of talent is worth giving a shot. However, I don't think it was wise to put him in a spot in the rotation where a lot is going to be expected of him. Either way...the Mets are a lock to win the east and because of Bostons starting pitching the Yankees will have a decent fight on their hands. If boston fixes their horrendous middle relief they have a damn good shot at winning the division and I see Omar making AT LEAST one deal to add a starter down the stretch.

mbn007 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Lol......Yanks problems weather related but Mets have issues. Mets have had two bad starts to date. There is no denying that the Mets have age issues on their rotation, especially when your 2 top guns are 41+ (in El Duques' case, that may be 45+). History has shown that injuries pile up as the age does. Glavine has been remarkably healthy, but El Duques has a perchant for needing Dl time at least once a year. Check out his history. Not a pretty sight. However, Maine impresses me. Perez, I can't figure out. One game very good, next game worse than horrid. So yes, the Mets have issues.

Hi MBN...The mets do have issues but so far the injury bug has not bitten us too badly. Based on Rotation what do we see: Mets: Glavine: Age an issue? He just won 2nd game last night. El Duque: Pitching great but when is the next injury coming? Maine: Solid Starter and all this from a supposed throw in for the Benson trade. O. Perez: Can look great one night bad the next...Lets see what he does in the next 10 starts before blowing him off Pelfrey: unlimited Ceiling. Starts Tonight and has #1 or 2 type stuff. On The Shelf: Pedro - How does he come back? Will he have good stuff? Yanks Chin Ming Wang: Injury- How serious? Great pitcher..solid stuff. Young. Mussina: Cranky Pitcher who just got injured. Age an issue. Pettite: Good Pitcher. Age an issue. Cranky elbow. Injuries possibly an issue Pavano: No Injuries yet. Pitched very well. Is he gonna get traded? Mental case? Karstens: A Fill-in. Hasn't looked good. The yanks may look to acquire someone to fill this slot. On The Shelf: Rocket: Does he go to Boston, Houston or NYY? That will tip the scales. Will George bend to Rocket's wishes? P. Hughes: Dynamic Future Starter, great stuff. How quick will he be in pinstripes? For Mets Two pitchers with Age issues, For Yanks two Pitchers with Age issues. For Mets One Pitcher with Injury issue, for Yanks two pitchers with injury issues. The staffs will round themselves out...I am curious to see who each team acquires at the trade deadline.

Not a pretty sight. However, Maine impresses me. Perez, I can't figure out. One game very good, next game worse than horrid. So yes, the Mets have issues. Marty Miller and Dana Cavalea have their fingers firmly crossed hoping Mussina can avoid the shelf. Eight games into their gigs as Jeff Mangold's replacement, the performance enhancement duo is under fire for the multiple muscular problems. Mussina's hamstring problem comes after Wang opened the season on the DL with a strained right hamstring and Hideki Matsui went on the shelf last week with a strained left hammy. In addition, Bobby Abreu (rib cage) missed most of spring training, Andy Pettitte (back spasms) was limited to 10 big-league spring innings, and Johnny Damon (cramped calves) was forced out of Opening Day and didn't start the next four games. Miller's program has been questioned because it de-emphasized running during spring training. Questions also have surfaced because Miller and Cavalea don't have extensive baseball backgrounds. </B></I> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Mets the pressure will be on the bullpen to produce since the starters most likely will not go deep in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet/BosoxFan Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Not too sure about the Mess though Yanks will make it That makes it official. The Yankees are finished and have no chance. Its bad enough that they have the A-rod curse to deal with...but now, once again, they have the jinx of JonEJinx looming over their heads. Tough break, NYY fans.

D'brickMangoldJets Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 How many wins are they going to get out of Mike Hampton? Mike Hampton does the Braves more good on the 60 day DL then Mike Pelfrey does the Mets as a 5th starter. Luckily the Mets were playing the Nationals or we get owned last night. This guy is another wasted draft pick by the Mets low 90's flat fastball no secondary pitches...... Call up Vargas he has heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
