No Delgado. No Wright. No Lo Duca. No Valentin.

Ouch.

But the happy news is that both Beltran and Floyd are playing.

Anderson Hernandez gets to try to improve on his lifetime .111 batting average as a Met.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Floyd in too. But DiFelice over Stinnett? Bobby Vee would not let that aggression stand, man.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Why on earth would you put Hernandez in the 2 hole?

I'm a little surprised that Willie's benching Wright, who, after all, had a day off yesterday.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I agree. I'd much rather see Stinnett than DiFelice.

And I'd prefer Edgardo Alfonzo over Anderson Hernandez, but I'm clearly not going to get my way on that one.

Well, with Oliver Perez pitching you probably won't need a lot of offense.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Ole Jose!

Oh, right. Good point!

Perez retires the first three, striking out 1.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Reyes sees one pitch and likes it.

1-0 Mets.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Whoa.

Who's worth exposing on the 40-man roster to get Fonzie to the majors?

Braves broadcasters say Bob Murphy was deaf by the time he retired due to the noise the jets make flying over Shea.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The Braves announcers are liars.

Bob might have been a little deaf, but I would be shocked if the jets had anything to do with it.

Methinks the Braves announcers don't like the shoe being on the other foot.

[Zvon]

Floyds rippin some foul balls.

That was the 119th time the Mets have scored in the 1st inning this season.
Thats freakin impressive.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Floyd gets K'd, but Beltran's knee checks out OK as he steals second.

They are liars.
They say stuff like that to fill air and it cracks me up.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Wow. Beltran with the steal, gimpy knee and all.

Might have been the hit-and-run--Floyd went down swinging.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Green comes alive!

Runners on the corners for the Old Man.

I believe that's 119 total runs in 1st innings, not 1st inning runs in 119 games (there've only been 130-some games to date)

Still impressive, just not quite the same as how you put it.


on edit: oops, let's make it 120

[Guest Rotblatt]

Greenie stays hot, singling to right. Beltran doesn't test Franceour's arm (or his knee) and holds up at third.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Franco! Base hit!

2-0 Mets, and McDowell makes an early visit to the mound. Sadly, he does so with his clothes on right side up.

[Guest Rotblatt]

The old man singles him in! Runners at first and second now with Woody up.

CF says Braves broadcasters are Certified Idiots due to their brains shriveling up from lack of oxygen and falling out their ears.

Oh- I thought that was a bit much.
lol.
I blame these liars in the Braves booth.


Mr Franco comes thru and knocks in the Mets 2nd run of the game.

And apparently, they're also assholes.

lol....dont forget that shit caked up on their noses.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Hats off to Shawn Green on the nice catch!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Wow! Oliver Perez was IMPRESSIVE this inning!
