Woodward and Marrero make the lineup even weaker than last night. No Delgado, no (edit)Floyd.

Trachsel and Unit have the same winning percentage and virtually the same ERA.

I dial up Mets.com every day and they show the highlight from the previous day's game.

A modest bases-empty single to left by Chavez greeted me today.

[Zvon]

Nady-yay!
Is Floyd not fresh enough to go on a day game after a night game?
Or is that just an old man thing......

I saw that highlight, and to me it looked like with a lil agressiveness that bloop/drive couldnt have been snagged.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Having a bench of two unavailable guys and whoever isn't playing second is sort of awkward. Maybe we should have sent for some Virginian help for this series.

[Zvon]

I went out on a limb with Trachsel earlier this season (i wont repeat it now), and Im climbin back out on it now---uh-oh--it feels kinda shakey--but Im out there.
Todays the day.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I was watching the World Cup and I almost forgot about the Mets game.

And that's a sentence I never would've thought I'd say.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Oh, and base hit for Reyes.

tru--this series did not set up well in any instance, from bench to mound.
But its just one a those interleague bullshit games-who cares-right?


Reyes leads off with a single to right.

[Guest Edgy DC]

...equalling yesterday's hit output.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I already like today's Mets more than yesterday's.

[Zvon]

LoDuke does his thang-
doubles Reyes to third.

Lets Go Mets--plate em all.

..............yesterday is dead to me.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

There's the REAL David Wright!

2-0 Mets quickly.

[Zvon]

Beltran swings at the only pitch that would result in a non productive at bat-hi heat for an infield pop out.


BUT WRIGHT DOES IT RIGHT!
Doubles in two!

[Guest Edgy DC]

...exceeding yesterday's run output.

Yesterday's gone. Yesterday's gone.

[Zvon]

Mr Franco does alotta jawing with the umps.
He better be careful---it would be embarrassing if his false teeth popped out of his mouth.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Dear Tim.

Melky Cabrera is a centerfielder playing left.

-xoxo

[Guest Edgy DC]

Just not a very good one.

Ricky Hendeson is in the house sittng next to Omar Minaya.

Julio Franco is up and you know Ricky is asking why Omar signed Franco and not him.

" Omar, Ricky's been wonderin bout sompthin....and Ricky gots to know why......"

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Dammit. Portugal beats England in PKs.

Now back to my regularly scheduled baseball.

[Zvon]

Nice play by Trax--WHAT!???
SAFE!??

[Guest Edgy DC]

C'mon, Willie, Trachsel is looking for you to argue.

[Zvon]

AWWWW---COMON BLU!!!!!awful call
ruled a hit.
Puts Trax in a hole right off the gitgo--
ugh--horrible horrible call.

[Zvon]

UGH--and umpires interference keep castro from catching a foul pop---what the hells goin on here!?????

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Hah. After the ump boxes out Castro, Giambi takes strike 3 and Damon gets thrown out running by a mile.

[Zvon]

HA! Mets with a strike em out throw em out DP.

Guess Torre wants to assure this will be a fair game.

[Zvon]

Whats the point of the diatrabe comparing Posada and Mauers batting averages?
Cripes.

Trachsels gets out of it,only because Posada cant hit like Maurer

[Zvon]

Woodward does his job--makes Randy look like a spazz.
And Castro tries to do the same
