[Elster88]

That's a shitty lineup.

[nymr83]

uuugly.

[Frayed Knot]

Willie:
- Reyes: probably tomorrow, available tonight to pinch-run
- Cliff: Will most likely miss the Ariz series, are shooting for Tuesday

Carlos: sitting out on the same day that reyes and Floyd are hurting because???

[Guest KC]

Can't always field the nine o'choice. Good teams win with B and C players.

Especially on the opposite coast. Root for a big night from Julio and Wood
and rinse repeat with some Endyledge.

[Frayed Knot]

Wants to give Delgado a break. Lefty going tonight while the upcoming Snakes have no southpaws on their staff.

Good teams, or rather smart managers, don't give their top hitters an offday when their other top hitters are day-to-day, when reyes/floyd are back in the lineup THEN you give an offday to delgado.

[Guest KC]

Delgado can use a day off. When I become a baseball guy I'll start calling
MLB managers smart or dumb. (or big balled or wee-balled for that matter).

[Elster88]

BEHIND THE BAG

That has to be a rug, right?

[Gwreck]

Probably also worthy of noting that it's not as if Carlos D. has been, you know, hitting much.

[Gwreck]

Anyone else using Gameday Audio tonight? (And is it working, if so?)

Sadly, the same could be said of most of the team.

[Elster88]

Carlos: "Looks like a line drive in the box score."

Gary tells us this is the 16th time this year that David has batted cleanup.

[Elster88]

Question: Who goes the other way better than Young David?

[Elster88]

Wow. No throw on the double steal. Carlos can run. Too bad Delgado hits between them, they could do that all year. (SC = 85)

="Julio Franco"]You're a moron.

Though it was two weak hits...Julio's was a broken bat seeing-eye single up the middle.

[Guest GYC]

Props to Willie calling the double steal on an 0-1 count with the injured Beltran stealing 3rd, and then having Franco get a 2-RBI single. Major props.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Answer: not many.

Mets score twice.

Willie's stupidity saves.

True....if he called it. I seriously doubt that was called from the dugout.

[Guest GYC]

Valentin with an RBI double and to third on throw - IS THIS THE METS?!

[Elster88]

Very close play at the plate. Bang-bang.

Or slide-bang.

Edit: That's cool, going from being Ron to being Keith.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Lookit that old man run.

Stupid Willie does it again.

[Guest GYC]

Milledge with an RBI triple. No, this is not the Mets.

I take full credit for the (unintended) reverse jinx.

[Elster88]

Milledge's triple was also very close....I'm all for hustle, but one of those old schoool rules that I really believe in is "Never make the last out at third."

[Guest Edgy DC]

First career trip, right?

After looking like crap on the previous pitch.

The Benson Bunch needs to have an intervention with Odalis Perez. Weren't the Mets supposed to be looking at him to plug the rotation?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I had decided that I was just going to watch the top of the first inning before going to bed, and I got to see the Mets score four runs.

Thanks guys!

[Guest GYC]

Please don't tell me this is going to be like last night. Poor pitching on both sides = boring, stressful AL-ish baseball.

[Elster88]

Nomar's OCD routine at the plate doesn't really bother me.

I forgot Glavine is on short rest today. I think that he just doesn't know what to do with all this run support.
