Lets go Mets......Pedro likes to pitch in Miami right?
Seven rookies in the Marlin lineup, Pedro could have fun with this.

[metirish]

David Wright out tonight because of back spasms...gary just said in on SNY, Valentin will play 3rd.

[Frayed Knot]

Valentin's versatility continues to come in handy.

Which is not to say that he would have deserved to keep a spot on the roster had his hitting not turned around, but having a guy who can play several OF & IF positions while switch-hitting w/enough power potential to at least put a scare into the opposing manager is rarer than some fans apparently think judging by their almost immediate calls for his release by early April.

Dear God.

[nymr83]

Reyes walks...it sounds on the radio like the place is packed with Mets fans!

[nymr83]

In their own home the Marlins fans just tried to get a lets go marlins chant going... they were drowned out by met fans booing them!!

we own this stadium and hopefully we will own this team too.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pedro made a big leaguer out of Jacobs last year.

He just made him look like a Little Leaguer.

[metirish]

Strange looking catch by Nady to end the inning.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Strange catch by Nady.

[Guest cooby]

Two people describe a catch as strange and dont describe the catch? Come on, how about a little more detail of this strange catch

[Guest Edgy DC]

He stood with his left hip facing the infield --- even though he seemingly had time to square himself --- and reached down and backhanded it at shin level.

[metirish]

I'll let Edgy describe the strange catch, Pedro is in a groove tonight. this Johnson kid can pitch too.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Pedro just destroyed those first two batters last inning.

[Gwreck]

Pedro has given up a homer in all but 2 of his starts this year, 9 HR total now given up this year. Ouch.

[metirish]

I blame Chris Cotter .

[Gwreck]

OOTS Update:

Braves beat Cubs in the 9th on a throwing error. Carlos Zambrano took a no-hitter into the 7th.

Brewers 4, Phillies 3 top 6th.

Royals, who've lost 13 in a row, are up 3-1 over the MFYs, bottom 6.

Tampa 1, Boston 0, bottom 4. Kazmir vs. David Wells (back from DL)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Derek Jeter's got his 2, 000th career hit, and he got it like the winner he is... in a losing effort to the Royals.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Josh Johnson needs a wakeup call.

[Gwreck]

Don't jinx it, dammit! The MFYs just took the lead.

Meanwhile both Pedro and Johnson have retired 9 in a row.

[Gwreck]

12 in a row for Pedro. 9 Ks now.

Johnson's up to 92 pitches, maybe he's getting tired. Big bats coming up, time to break this tie.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pedro whiffin' Fish.

"Now let's get
some runs!"

[Guest cooby]

I'll bet Harry never tripped going up or down stairs in those glasses.

A Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial featuring "Sweet Home Alabama."

O... K...

[Willets Point]

Washington the Warrior looks endearingly hokey.

[Gwreck]

They may not lead the league in wins, but I'm pretty sure the Marlins lead the league in crooked-hat mugshots:

Dontrelle:

Hanley Ramirez:

Jacobs:

Cabrera:

Randy Messenger:

[Gwreck]

Good job by Pedro minimizing damage after the 3 singles to start the 7th but we need HITS and RUNS. Rally!

[Guest Edgy DC]
