LB3 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Apparently Harper said "let's go" and then grew a kitty when Papplebon called his bluff. How so? It was broken up after Papelbon lunged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Should be fun next year if Pap is pitching for a team on the Nats schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) How so? It was broken up after Papelbon lunged.He looked shocked and shrinked away instead of fighting back. What really irks me are these panty waist radio guys who think it's an outrage that Papplebon went at him, but absolve Harper for inviting it.

bbb Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 papplebon is by far the biggest ass. Loved Matty as a player, but, he's in over his head. He should have been fired when he pulled Jordan Zimmerman in the playoffs last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really irks me are these panty waist radio guys who think it's an outrage that Papplebon went at him, but absolve Harper for inviting it. I do think he was shocked, but IMO he didn't shrink away. He was pushed back and the bench went into the back of his knees causing him to lose his balance. He didn't throw punches over his teammates heads like Papelbon was trying to do though. They both deserve blame. Mark DeRosa summed up my position on the matter pretty well. Papelbon is the wrong guy to be calling out Harper. That's not to say Harper shouldn't be called out, but that it shouldn't be done by a guy who pitches one inning once every two to three games. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/former-player-scathing-down-jonathan-200700275.html Edited September 29, 2015 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he doesn't like Harper and was looking for a reason to give him **** and that was the opportunity he was waiting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree that it wasn't the major reason, it was just the match that set the fire off. Harper calling Papelbon out because he's the one that'll be on the receiving end of the retaliation for the Machado crap was definitely a bigger factor.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 John Rocker at Shea was like Bryan Cox at the Ralph. Great stuff. Wow-- brings back a lot of memories. I probably watched 80% of the mets games from 95-03, when Bobby V. Managed them. Stopped following them when he got fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped following them when he got fired. Valentine is my favorite Mets manager of all time. Killed me when they got rid of him. If he had Randolph's teams, the Mets would have won two more series, in my opinion. I like Collins a lot. He's done well, given the circumstances that the scumbag Wilpons created.

Same-- Bobby V. was the greatest. I remember watching so much Mets baseball that I could predict when Bobby V would hit and run, squeeze, etc. Really great tactician. I loved those early 90 teams. Rey Ordonoez, Bernard Gilkey, Jay Payton, Turk Wendell, Dennis Cook, Edgar Alfonzo, Jon Olerud, Robin Ventura. I still remember Piazza's first game as a Met, hitting that triple in his first AB. I also remember watching live the great 10-run comeback against the Braves. And who can forget Shawn Dunston's super long at bat in the NLCS against the Braves, right after I thought he blew it in the field. I used to really follow the Mets, but when Art Howe came to town, and then the Mets started trying to out-spend everyone (e.g., Mo Vaughn, Johan Santana), I stopped following them. I felt like they became too big market for me. I only started re-watching baseball a few years ago, and now just watch the Pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Minaya and the Wilpons put the Mets into a coma (didn't quite kill them). Those Minaya years were dark. I really recommend you get back to watching them. It's a fun team to follow. Very reminiscent of the '86 team, but without the cocaine. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Bobbie V but he made some questionable calls too. But he knew how to manage even if his style was unorthodox & didn't win him any popularity contests. Agree, those mid 2000 teams were as good as any team in the NL. Randolph & then Manuel totally blew it with those teams. Collins has done a great job given the bullsh*t circumstances he was given. The Wilpons are one of the worst ownership groups in all of baseball imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 WTF? I bring up a baseball fight between two grown men and rather than talk about who was talking **** and who woulda kicked whose ass you guys prefer to talk about actual baseball. The maturity level on this board leaves something to be desired. And I haven't cared about the Mets since Strawberry left NY. Speaking of Strawberry, he was always up for a good fight. I bet if he said "let's go" he's be ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
