[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Now that Nady's gone, I'm starting to see Soriano as next year's Mets left fielder.

There. I said it.

[Guest KC]

Mets wearing block lettered NEW YORK Cubans' uniforms.

[Guest KC]

Imagine this, the Mets scored a first inning run as Lo Duca goes
KA=red]BOOM to left field.

Mets 1-sniffle with the Nats coming to bat.

[metirish]

Gary - " Traber is throwing all kinds of slop up there".....

[Guest KC]

2-1 Nats through four, as they strand two.

They scored the 2 (while I was watching the Jets game) 2 runs, double by
Brian Schneider. Austin Kearns scores from 3rd, Alex Escobar scores from
2nd in the second inning -- pbp from USAToday.com

[TransMonk]

Met highlights so far:

LoDuca threw out a baserunner (on a botched hit-n-run).

Milledge hit a curveball...and got a basehit.

Otherwise...Traber's making us look like little leaguers and Glavine's thrown 89 pitches thru 4.

[metirish]

6 K's so far for Glavine,will he reach 10 to tie Sudden Sam McDowell?

Of course he won't even though he gets K number seven, glavine has a season high 122 pitches.

[Guest KC]

Oliver looks good in the 7th.

We need some O.

Has anyone seen the O?

[metirish]

Traber is done for the night, about bloody time, now maybe the Mets offence wakes up, I guess some of the regulars on the board are watching the Jets tonight,very quite here.

[seawolf17]

Who are these Jets you speak of? Get football out of our season.

[seawolf17]

Tucker singles and steals second, then Reyes follows with an infield hit, but the enormous Rauch comes in and blows away LoDuca with the high heat to end the top of the 8th. Still 3-2 Bad Guys.

[metirish]

Hojo is back with the Mets on Monday, Cotter just gave that info on SNY.

[Guest KC]

sea: >>>Still 3-2 Bad Guys<<<

It's 2-1 on my tv ... and I find it hard to believe you didn't watch a snap
of the Jets game yet :-)

[TransMonk]

Beltran HBP to open the ninth down a run.

[metirish]

Delgado on deck for franco..come on you mets

[Guest martin]

a very similar situation to this happened earlier this year with beltran on first in the 9th. i was screaming for him to steal and he didnt, i sure hope he does here. get rid of that double play!

[TransMonk]

Well that sucked.

[metirish]

Yeah it sucked but who knew traber trew so soft?

[Guest KC]

One of the SNY announcers, I think it was Ron, said something along the
lines that the scouts will be saying to throw soft tossin' lefties against the Mets
for the rest of the season if ya got one.

[seawolf17]

Hey! I'm a soft-tossing righty! Let me start!

[Elster88]

Franco 1b
Valentin 2b
Tucker lf
Milledge rf

That's pretty ugly. Whenever Valentin is surrounded by questionable hitters I unfairly start to question him again.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Glavine looked like a Brave again wearing those colors.
