8/2/07 Mets (Lawrence) vs Brewers (Capuano), 1:05pm CT

Its hard to tell what happened. The first bit on TV showed Estrada being held back by Sheets and Graffy, but you can't tell who he's yelling at down the tunnel. Hall was there, but he didn't seem to be the one Estrada was yelling at. Not sure which clip happened first, I'm thinking the Estrada yelling at someone was the later portion of the incident.

On the bright side, at least the Mets get to play the Cubs now.

 

On the Dark side, the Mets go into a horrible slump and drop all three to the CUbs.

[JET15]

Looks like "this team doesn't point fingers" may no longer apply.

Yeah, and maybe we won't hear the post-game loss pep talk from Yost about the poise of the team.

[uwbufu24]

Ned Yost's teams have historically melted down in the second half. These teams have had talent, but no motivation or coaching or stamina. I'm not a GM or owner, so I don't know how my players or coaching staff conduct themselves in the clubhouse and practice. Something has to change, fast, or we'll be looking up at the Cubs and Cards.

[cruiserx43]

Regardless of what's going on in the dugout the big picture is that this team appears to be regressing and someone will be held accountable. Right now I am sure that Ned's patience is like a triphammer seeing as how his tenure with the Brew is winding down if things don't turn around in a hurry.

[jwill535]

This team needs to be dressed down publicly and privatly, i dont care from who, Ned, Doug and even better Mark. The Lally Gagger speach works for me.

[naivin]

Yeah, looked like they showed them in reverse order, so I guessing Estrada may have been yelling at Yost as well.

[Hammer]

I sure hope Yost gets fired as he really cannot keep it all together for an entire year. These slumps in the 2nd half are getting old.

[SeriesFinale]

I'm thinking the Estrada yelling at someone was the later portion of the incident.

"YOU'D BETTER HAVE MY CHEESEBURGERS READY BY THE TIME THIS ONE'S OVER!"

I know, not fair to a guy who had a pretty good game today

[MillerPark]

I think Maddux and Estrada were fighting!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Chorizo you are reading WAY too much into that, this team is young, and Graffy and Ned alike (both of whom have been around for a while) have got to be frustrated at the way this team is playing. Based off your last statement, this team is season/team is officially out?

 

I think you're the one reading WAY too much into what I wrote - I was stating that the same players and coaches who have spent the better part of two months downplaying their shrinking divisional lead and mounting concerns with this team's overall performance are starting to look a bit hypocritical now that their lead is completely gone and they've obviously let their emotions get the best of them. There's plenty of season left for them to turn things around, but this stretch is starting to look eerily similar to their 10 game losing streak that knocked them out of serious wild card consideration last year shortly after the trade deadline.

[naivin]

So is the low point of the season to date? Worse than the no-hitter?

[giffted1]

Carlos Villanueva was a lot better when he was used less frequently. Recently he's been pitching at least every other day, and I think it has something to do with his struggles.

[Hammer]

C'mon Spurling...show some stones! Dot this guy...that's all this game needs not. A good fight on the field...

[SeriesFinale]

What's worse, getting worked by the likes of the Nationals or getting worked by a playoff contender

[naivin]

Is anyone else 99% certain the Cubs are going to win?

[Hammer]

Seriously, hit the next batter sally...

[JET15]

OK, the Crew earned this one today...

Is anyone else 99% certain the Cubs are going to win?

Yeah, a few of us called it several pages back

They've got kismet right now

[dpapo]

At this point, I'm getting more worried about the Brewers season falling completely apart then the Cubs.

[phatmatt1215]

I missed it.. When did all the fighting begin for the Brewers today? About what inning?

[GoBrewers5489]

Wow at least we only lost 2 of 3 and now we get to play the phillies who are hittng the ball like crazy lately Rowand will probably beat us single handedly in all the games.

[MillerPark]

Well, at least the Mets know how to tack on runs in later innings! Yep, they're taking the Brew Crew to school!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Corey Hart, you're the man

 

well, at least we're on pace to lead the NL in home runs...and, contrary to how crappy this looks, it is just 1 stinking game.

 

this team needs a collective slumpbuster
