Who is the Orlando Hernandez character? I don't recognize him.

[Frayed Knot]

He's the one who just gave up 2 doubles to tie the game

[TransMonk]

Is that double doubles?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

What do you say we score some gosh-darn runs, consarn it.

[TransMonk]

Chavez and Reyes on first and second...no outs.

Gotta get this done.

[MFS62]

I sense a Piazza-Wagner matchup coming.

[Frayed Knot]

If nothing else we have a stacked bench for the late innings.

Of course so do they.

Done and done.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, only 1 "done" so far.

Bags now loaded for Valentin

[MFS62]

Sacks juiced.
Have they just set up the opportunity for another grand salami for Valentin?

EDIT: Two run bingle for Jose.
6-3 Mets

[Frayed Knot]

No, merely a 2R single and a 6-3 lead.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

It was my polite cursing, dagnabbit

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Nice relief outing by Brocail:

Single
bunt single
double
I-BB
single

Embree in.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Michael Tucker, True Met.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Doug Brocail, future Yankee.

Tucker: The Man and His Dream and His RBI Double.

[Guest holychicken]

ledee, not a true met.

[Guest holychicken]

8 walks today.

You happy yet edgy?

[MFS62]

And J Franco, batting for ElDuque, GIDP to end the inning.
Just goes to show you what happens when you let a 47 yearold hit for a 60 year old.

The 2004 Red Sox postseason heros part of the Padres order get a walk followed by a strikeout.

[MFS62]

The announcers last night (?) said that it looks like Aaron has gone back to his fastball, rather then relying on his change for his out pitch. Those of you who can actually see the game, does it look like that is true today?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

DW seems to have broken the spell of the All-Star break.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Fun fact: Until the 7th inning run today, the Mets had not allowed any runs EXCEPT those on HRs since Howard doubled in a run last Friday, 6 games ago.

In all, we gave up 13 runs on 8 HRs spread over 46 straight innings.

There's an old man I'm expecting. I think he sells some sort of housekeeping tool.

]There's an old man I'm expecting. I think he sells some sort of housekeeping tool.

Yes a sweep is not a sweep without him.

[HahnSolo]

I didn't realize it was THAT Michael Tucker. How old is he now, about 58?

[metirish]

Not at all, he was born in 1971...the person that sponsors his baseballreference page says this about him

] My wife was crushed when the Reds traded him. We'll always love "Big Eyes" Michael Tucker.
