LOL--they are.
They are going on about how Milledge is playing way to deep.

They also went on to say the way the Mets have played, and with the lead they have in the NL East, they can afford a lull like this.
And thats tru, thank the Gods of baseball.

Our two corner outfielders look kinda lost tongiht, Woodie should have had that even though it's scored a hit.

We gotta direct him to our Victor Diaz thread

Yep--and that pesky Utley embarrasses him by tagging from second to third on that flyout to Woody in the gap--

UGH!
And then Chase tags and scores on a shallow fly to Woodward.....

oh my.

[metirish]

I'm just glad that the mets have such a lead as these two last games remind me of what it was like the last few seasons watching another bad year, at least we're going to the postseason.....I think....

11 earned runs on Hernandez tonight..ouch.

[Zvon]

And Lieberthal, of all people, smacks one to the deepest part of the ballpark, off the tall section of the centerfield wall---misplayed as it bounces off and in between Beltraans legs, getting away from him.

Felicianos up in the pen.

11-2 Pills.

Unfreakinbelievable.

If the Mets folded.....
well, it would be the kind of baseball history I would want no part of.

But they have some things they have to address..........

I wish Willie would sit Delgado for a series, not to punish but to replenish him.

Not a bad idea-- Wright too, who just dont seem to be seeing the ball well.
Lotta Ks lately.
And I like how Willie went to the mound when Wagner was a lil shakey the other night.
Time for certain (and not desperate) measures.


Felicianos in-and gives a lead off walk up to the pitcher Wolf.
Oy.

[Zvon]

Great play by Wright on that chopper down the line--turns it into an easy double play.
Nice.

[Guest KC]

Interesting that Keith opined that maybe David Wright could unstretch his
schedule a tad (if not completely 'til offseason) with all the good stuff he does
on behalf of himself and the Mets. Gary quickly clammed up and Keith changed
directions and said he was strictly talking about his personal experience and needing
his sleep and routine - interesting (if only a stretch between the lines) take by 17.

I'm not sure what you mean by "unstretch his schedule."

Keith has a great point.
Very interesting perspective.

[metirish]

Keith made some interesting comments,of course he also said he hated doing that kinda stuff especially as it got in the way of his prep for the game,he liked to sleep till noon and leave for the part around 3:30, from what I have read Wright is at the park by noon.

I think he meant unclutter his schedule--free it up.
Just focus on what he should be doing on the field.

[metirish]

Chavez to LF and Woodie to 3rd,RHernandez into pitch .

[Zvon]

Willie doesnt want us talking about David anymore tonight--he pulled him.

Woody moves to third-Chavez in left.

Hernandez in to pitch.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Triple happiness for Reyes.

Holy shit.

[metirish]

Fucking hell Reyes goes deep for the third time tonight,and it was a bomb,last time it happened was in 99 with Fonzie...

[Frayed Knot]

He ain't hittin cheapies neither!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

[Guest cooby]

I hope my dad's watching

[Zvon]

3rd dinger for Reyrey.
I have no graphic for that.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

All of the Schaefer tonight goes to Reyes.

[Zvon]

Reyes sure does like hitting in the bandbox.

....I guess the Schaefer KaBoom*boom could have worked there too.

KaBOOM*BOOM*BOOM

Heilman will get the 8th.
He pitches to the dangerous Ryan Howard.

[metirish]

Feliciano deserves a sup of suds for his work.

[Zvon]

Heilman manages to hit both Dellucci and LoDuca with one pitch.
Nice...ughm--I mean shitshingles.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Gary and Keith have given up talking about the game and are now discussing old school cartoons.

[Zvon]

I dont blame em.

............misery over.
