I'm very curious how Randa earned the designation professional hitter. Anyone have a story behind that?

Also, is it just me or does it seem that Randa has played an inordinate number of games against the Mets this season?

[Elster88]

There are so many better options to start at first base than Offerman. One of them is in the broadcast booth.

Wright with a blooper to drive in Cairo. 1-0 Metropolitans.

Aargh! I'm posting as Vince!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Floyd drives one 400 feet for naught, but a jam-flare by Wright plates one.

[Theoldmole]

Beltran scores on the double steal!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bam! Can't remember the last time I saw a double-steal work.

[metsmarathon]

looked to me like he had a better chance of tagging wright out than throwing out beltran at the plate....

NICE play tho!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cliff Floyd: Oh for 800 feet.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Yea Mr. Wright! A 2-rbi double makes it 4-0 Mets!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I heart David Wright.

I heart him in that way that a ten-year-old hearts his Christmas present.

I can't believe he's mine.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Another shortstop with a pourous glove. Ex.

It is kind of hard to believe. Hopefully you'll be saying the same thing about Beltran one day.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Props to Cameron and Offerman for getting Wright home there. Often it seems the Mets settle for one big hit an inning, rather than 2. Huge, huge, huge.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Seven thousand twelve (or whatever) without a no-hitter.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Mr. Wright says Ka-Boom! A three run homer makes it 8-0 Mets.

Mr. Wright has 5 RBIs so far tonight.

I love that boy!

[Theoldmole]

[Guest Edgy DC]

That also puts Wright over .300.

[Frayed Knot]

]looked to me like he had a better chance of tagging wright out than throwing out beltran at the plate....

That's why Wright stopped. And even if he goes after him there the run will score during the chase.

For that play alone our mgr gets the name WWBB - at least for the night.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I ♥ Cammie also.

[metirish]

Keith Hernandez is the best, I love when he does games, Benson gets a hit.

on second thought, the second baseman appeared to be moving in the same direction as dw. i wasnt paying enough attention the first time, and thought it was the SS who recieved the throw from teh catcher, and therefore would have been moving towards dw.

never mind.

[Guest cooby]

Khalil Greene looks like a Bad News Bear

[Frayed Knot]

"He's a triple short of the cycle" is only slightly more meaningful than saying; 'I'm a million bucks short of being a millionaire'.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The guys in the booth were talking about Greene earlier --- saying he both looks and talks like Jef Spicoli.

Good night. Off to Metland...

[metirish]

Benson is brilliant tonight, he has retired sixteen straight Padres since giving up his only hit in the 3rd, and now he walks Green, and then he strikes out Nady, great stuff Kris.

[metirish]

David Wright didn't hit for the cycle but gets his 4th hit of the night with a single, Woodie on second base, Piazza hits a DP ball that Randa throws wide to first, Woodie out at 3rd, Wright at 2nd, Piazza at 1st, Cameron brings David home , good night all round.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Nice little ass kicking here. Benson with his 5th AB.

[metirish]

Bases juiced for Benson after the walk to Offerman,

[metirish]

Shit, Benson fails in his bid to become the 29th Mets pitcher to throw a one hitter, Ross got a hit, Randa at the dish, Kris looking fot his third career shutout.

[metirish]

Randa gets a double, the 3rd hit for the Padres, Ross to 3rd, Willie runs from the dugout and pulls Benson for Graves .
