IGT, 7/20, Mets v. Friars, Trying to Break the .500 Streak

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sweeney hits it hard, but Cameron is in position and Padilla, wearing some geeky glasses, gets out of it.

So just how hot does it have to get until Peterson takes
off the jacket?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The man has ice water in his veins.

And the Mets Win!

[Frayed Knot]

Padilla perfect in save chances.
Make him the new closer NOW!!!!

Sounds like a nice game! Thanks for the recap, guys and gals!

Have I mentioned that I'm happy Padilla's up in the bigs yet? I'm baffled by Willie's willingness to use him in tight spots so early, though. It would seem to be counter to everything that Willie and his small balls stand for.

Not that I mind. I like Padilla. So far.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Padilla seems to hurl a lot of junk, but he remains stylin in his Ambervision shades.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I don't think Randolph has been less than aggressive trying to find slots for his young pitchers.

He's had to be aggressive.

Did anyone see this? The ump gave the ball to Willie, apparently for the old shoe polish evidence, and then the cameras caught Willie back in the dugout, looking over the ball and then looking out into the field. The look on his face was hysterical.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I didn't know anybody still sihned their shoes. Kind of a moot point when they're putting pne tar all over their heads.

There was brief shot of the ball, and it did seem smudged.
