[Guest Edgy DC]

Beltran Perez is a great name. The Mets supastar centerfielder and the overmatched guy he kinda sorta replaced.

We used to make up names for the nameless Strat-O-Matic cards they'd give you for fringe players. We had a backup catcher named Mookie Strawberry.

I'm heading out to tonight's game in a few minutes.

[metirish]

On the SNY pre-game show the studio guy was giving a round up of what to expect on the show - " We have an interview with frank Robinson who's managing his last few games in DC"...I've heard all the speculation but has there been an official announcement?

[metirish]

To answer my own question,the Nats held a press conference today to announce that Robinson will not be back.

[metirish]

Breaking News from SNY...Trax has left the team to go back to San Deigo for personel reasons..will not start Sunday.

[Valadius]

Beltran Perez.

Holy CRAP is that a good name... we have to get him next year.

[Valadius]

Hey Edgy, what channel will the game be on here in DC?

[metirish]

Delgado not playing because of " over all body soreness".

[Valadius]

WHOA! I just noticed that Castro's back!!!

[metirish]

Mets are 6 up in the third....Franco has 5 RBI.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Shawn took his Greenies tonight.

My 13-year-old found the President races to be amusing, even though he recognized them to be a blatant rip-off of the Sausage Races.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Viva Castro!



10-0 Mets

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Julio Franco is a triple short of the cycle.

I'm willing to venture to guess that if he does get that triple, he'd be the oldest person ever to cycle.

[metirish]

I love it, Franco was not supposed to start but has been freaking amazin...I'm feeling better about next week, Glavine was great...

[stevejrogers]

Franco wasn't supposed to BE here TODAY!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I'm glad to have Castro back in time for the playoffs. His presence helps to strenghthen the bench. There is such a big drop off from Castro to DeFelice or Stinnett.

[stevejrogers]

Tommy G shutting it down for the regular season. Okay, Pen, lets get him # 290

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

MK walked into the room to check in on the game, and said, "this is a promising score."

[metirish]

Wright with a three run homer....yeeeeeeeeeeeeees

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

We're really kicking ass tonight, so much so that Wright's into it.

[seawolf17]

I know it's just one game, but this really does make you feel a little better.

[metirish]

I really think Keith is drunk tonight....

[stevejrogers]

This is a darn good sign for the coming week(s) ahead

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

13 12 0

Like it.

[stevejrogers]

I'd wager that the lineup tomorrow will resemble the lineup for the post-clinching game!

Can the Mets bring Humber and Pelfrey back?

I'm not kidding, could they actually do that?

[metirish]

I dunno Steve, 97 wins would be nice.
