Mets @ Pods, 8/9

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Pedro somehow escaped a leadoff triple by Dave Roberts in the bottom 1st. Is he awesome or what.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Khalil Greene's solo homer gives the Padres a 1-0 lead in the second.

[Frayed Knot]

Khalil Greene is funny looking, has a silly haricut, and has a stupid name.

He's also a pretty durn good player.

[Elster88]

The Padres are hitting Pedro hard. 4-0 in the third.

[soupcan]

Pedro not so awesome tonight.

4-0 Pods bottom 3.

[metirish]

Things are turning to shit here quickly, 4 zip, Pedro not looking sharp,his change up is not working.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Just what we needed -- an ineffective start in the first game of a Western road trip. Bleh.

[Guest cooby]

This will get better

[Guest Edgy DC]

Roberts was born to be stranded at third.

This is still Chan Ho Park. I know that doesn't guarantee anything, but he is vulnerable.

There we go. First two reach as I type.

[metirish]

Giles homers, 5 to zip Padres, come on you mets.

[Willets Point]

Pedro stink-o tonight-o!

Oh the Mets!

[Frayed Knot]

You can't stop Kaz Matsui you can only hope to contain him.

[willpie]

eh, I'm starting to frown when Beltran comes up.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Either Gamday stinks or Chan Ho works really slow.

[Frayed Knot]

Chippinaway!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cornelius makes it 5-2.

But wait! That's not all. Young David is up.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Great turn for Cliff there. He's Ms. Dickshot's favorite Met this year.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I surrender.

[metirish]

Reminds me of a great song....Cheap Trick..

Mother told me, yes, she told me I�d meet girls like you.
She also told me, stay away, you�ll never know what you�ll catch.
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some indonesian junk that�s going round.

Mommy�s alright, daddy�s alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don�t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Father says, your mother�s right, she�s really up on things.
Before we married, mommy served in the wacs in the philippines.
Now, I had heard the wacs recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn�t one of those, I�ve known her all these years.

Mommy�s alright, daddy�s alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don�t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Whatever happened to all this season�s losers of the year?
Ev�ry time I got to thinking, where�d they disappear?
When I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my kiss records out.

Mommy�s alright, daddy�s alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don�t give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Away.
Away.

Repeat chorus 7x


Jeez, you only have to repeat the chorus 7 times..

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jose Offerman makes it first and third, one out.

Take that, pod people!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Patented pinch single by Marlon Anderson makes it 6-3.

Dickshot's going to be angry he missed this.

Let's go Jose Reyes!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reyes grounds out, moving one runner to third, replacing the other on first.

Hitting streak in jeopardy.

Game first, then streak, men.

[metirish]

David Wright makes one of the great catches of the year, going back on a pop up he realized that he couldn't make a catch with his glove over his head so he stuck out his hand and made a great grab and then held the ball while falling to the ground, the Padre fans gave him a huge hand, great stuff.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Come now, they Pads are digging deeper into their pen*.

Git em'!

*An admittedly deep pen.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Eight-three and I'm all alone.

Bleh.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, goodnight.

A shame Mientkiewicz got hurt again just when he was hot.

Price of playing hard, I guess.

Still, we shouldn't have a make-believe firstbaseman out there.

[Willets Point]

Sorry to leave you all alone, I nodded off on the couch as I often do during these west coast games. Looks like I didn't miss much.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Be sure though to watch Wright's catch on sportscenter or mlb.com. Wow!

[Guest cooby]

The Catch was great. I was still awake for that, wowee

[seawolf17]

Thanks for the reminder... I missed it this morning, but it's the first highlight on mlb.com... that's a sick catch. Nice!
