[Gwreck]

Pre- (or during-) game discussion:

Mary Noble referred to Oliver Perez's shutout last time out as "the most surprising pitching performance at Shea Stadium since Bobby Jones' one-hitter against the Giants in the 2000 NLDS."

Your thoughts...

1. Is he right? If not, who was?
2. Whose was the most surprising immediately preceeding Jones?
.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

If Cody Ross or Dan Uggla get so much as a seeing-eye single tonight I'm gonna hafta go down there and kill them myself.

[Willets Point]

Don't make promises you don't want to have to keep.

Heilman's one-hitter last year was surprising. I don't remember if it was at Shea, though.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

First time I've seen that SNY commercial. That was excellent.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Not that Bobby Jones wasn't capable of a strong pitching performance, and not that it wasn't surprising, but I kinda always felt that the Giants were really, really tight in that game.

Tom Glavine's opening day in 2003 was another shocker.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

When did Yogi Berra film that Aflac commercial, anyway? I bet he's ten years younger in that spot than he is currently.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Apparently there's a rain delay in Miami.

I came here to take a break from schoolwork....

And no - Alay Soler's shutout was at least as surprising.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Wrt Rain Delay Theater - I love watching Ron Darling in his prime

[Willets Point]

Philly & Atlanta are rained out. Clinching ain't easy.

[Guest KC]

The '88 game they have on with F X and Ralph calling the game is just
Metsmerizing -- this is why I won't buy that '86 dvd until well after the
whole season is well over -- I get nothing done because of the current
Mets, I don't need to be glued to twenty-year old footage. I'm just sayin',
I thought it was funny when I found myself staring at the screen a couple
of minutes ago like I was in some kind of trance.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Soler's shutout was in Phoenix.

[Guest Edgy DC]

"Go Ollie!
Go Ollie!
He makes me say, 'By, Golly!'
'Cause he can D-O-I-T, DO IT!"

Rain Delay Theater is over - the game is afoot!

[Guest Edgy DC]

The pep squad agrees with you.

The field conditions are awful as we get under way. He better not be jumping any lines today as foul ground is pretty muddy.

[metirish]

Weird that last night Williams gave up 9 runs on 11 hits.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pretty fat pitch that Lo Duca popped up on.

Oh, shit, I'm still grumpy.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

That was too quick of a top of the first.

[metirish]

I agree SK, these Marlins scare me,is Girardi or Randolf the NL manager of the year?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I still give it to Willie for leading these loosers to the division title

[Guest Edgy DC]

Dan Uggla, signing his own death warrant.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Perez behind 2 hitters, 2 hits.

Ahead of 2 hitters, 2 outs.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Oh Fuck!

2-0 Marlins on a double that Cliff should have been able to catch

[stevejrogers]

Wrong thread, OOPS!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Erm...even on Helms and that pitch kinda sucked.

2-0, Makaira nigricans

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Chuck Meriwether, work with me here.
