I'm hoping that after the game, Vargas will have a lower ERA than Castillo.

Nice to see that Luis Castillo is still around!

I like the idea of riding Stop Making Sense HARD in this series.

If Vargas throws a complete game shutout, and the Mets score 3 in the first and Castillo is lifted without an out, they'll be tied at 7.89.

If we get a slightly more likely 6 scoreless from Vargas, that's 9.57. Castillo would need like 11 runs in 1IP. Or 10 runs in 0 IP, but that means Vargas would have to get a hit.

He should be starting.

[duan]

Can we trade Jason Vargas to the reds between the innings?

[Centerfield]

Holy fuck Vargas.

[bmfc1]

That Vargas signing is working out just great--nicely done Sandy!

[A Boy Named Seo]

Ugh. And we're lucky that shit didn't roll to the wall when Yo ole'd that ball.

[G-Fafif]

Vargas has gotten an out. They take the ball out of play.

[Centerfield]

Feel extremely lucky to be down only 2-0.

You know, to the Reds.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Also, wassup, duan

Did Conlon get much ink in Ireland?

Don't think so. There wasn't a single visible tattoo on him from what I could see.

[Guest 41Forever]

Can we send Vargas down to Vegas to work out his issues? Or, really, just to work?

[duan]

a fair few online bits - the timing was against any dailies picking it up. Might see some tomorrow. We tried to find a way to talk to him in the off-season for the magazine we do for the Dublin - Belfast train but I think we hit dead end or two and didn't really have the motivation to follow it up - must see did we actually talk to anyone or if it was just a editorial meeting chat.

[bmfc1]

Why Nimmo with the bases loaded against a lefty with Lagares and Mesoroco on the bench?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Time to stretch and kvetch...

Robles being Robles

[Frayed Knot]

After getting unlucky and being burned by a bloop, Robles then commits a Robles.

[Fman99]

Fuck Hansel Robles.

[Guest 41Forever]

We DFA’d and traded the wrong player. Robles is terrible.

Lol

[Centerfield]

No really. Why is Robles on this team?
