Mets vs. Cubs

If we're to take 2 of 3, tonight is a must considering the pitching matchups.

I think the Cubs have money on which of them can cause Dusty Baker's heart attack.

BTW, 5-1 Mets in the bottom of the second.

[Elster88]

The Mets are twisting the knife. Double steal by Reyes and Cammy. No out second and third.

[Guest cooby]

Semi scary fourth inning by Cubs makes it 7-4.

Cubs announcers claim a light rain is falling

[Guest Edgy DC]

Great bullpen use by Randolph tonight.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Funny game, especially compared to the way the ball has been flying

Nine runs, but no extra-base hits. The Mets went 5-5 in stolen bases though.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think the Mets' magnetic pull toward .500-ness is affecting the lineup. Pretty soon every one them could check in with exactly a .270 batting average.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It was nice just to be able to watch a Mets game. Winning just made the experience that much more enjoyable.

[metirish]

Reyes extends his hitting streak to 18 games, longest ever by a Mets SS, watched the game on WGN, not terrible either, Bob Brenly in the Seaver role, not all that bad.

[Guest cooby]

There must have been quite a few of us watching on WGN. A welcome change of commercials, too.

[metirish]

Yes Cooby, the local commercials are a treat, the Cub guys are far better than the White Sox guys, those two are brutal.

]Great bullpen use by Randolph tonight.

First post-game call I hear: 'Why didn't Willie have Glavine pitch the 9th?'

[Centerfield]

Holy crap Glendon Rusch got fat.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Also got damn reliable over the last few seasons.

Tonight excepted, of course, heh, heh.

Two observations:

Kerry Wood looked good; good to see him back.
I didn't know Scott Williamson nad two TJ surgeries. Good to see him back also.
