Ooh yeah! I forgot he was theirs now!

I want to face Looper SOOOOOOOOOOO badly!!!!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Mota blows away the pinch hitter with some high cheese.

Maybe, but Willie has shown he's got no problem going with Mota for 2 and he could've done that tomorrow. I think Willie just really digs him, and Mota's showing me why.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Whoa! Val. Look at your post-player. Bad timing.

[Guest Hillbilly]

I think Looper has been quit effective against Met hitters this year.

[Zvon]

walks sometimes do something fatal things...........

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Better get Wilson here.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Have to retire Wilson here. That way Pujols has to lead off next inning. This is a huge at bat.

Saving Heilman for long relief/emergency start?

[Valadius]

I know, I made an edit to the post where I changed over to him.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Yup this batter is very large.

[Valadius]

Come on Mota!!!

[metirish]

Money is Mota

[Valadius]

YES!!!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

YES!!! HUGE!!!

[Zvon]

Whew. Good job Mota!


Z's BIGwacky play of the game card.

[Guest Hillbilly]

So very sweat. Lets tack a few runs on to this lead!

[nymr83]

yikes. some meatballs for Wilson that he missed.
if Mota had thrown 8 straight balls to bring Pujols up i might have led the post-game lynch mob...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Whew....(huge exhale)....breathe again.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think they only need one inning. They'd've gone to Heilman for a two-inning stint.

Just my opinion.

I think they had Mota warm in the 7th, didn't need him, so stayed with him. Can't imagine Heilman finally gets a start after all this. The idea of winning 4 games from the back of the pen still has to outweigh possibly losing 1 from the front.

Weirder things have happened.

Great sack-up job by Mota. Pujols may hit the next pitch he sees 600 feet if he must, it'll still count for only 1.

[Valadius]

LOOPER IS IN!!!!!!!!

I still like having Heilman ready to go for a few innings should Traschel or Perez end up being the suxx.

[Zvon]

Im gonna love that old teeth grimmacing expression Looper will be wearing after he gives up a string of gophers.

Or-.............singles will do, LoDuca.

[Valadius]

YES!!! Beat the crap out of Looper!!!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Good start as LoDuca dumps a flair into right.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Paulie!

The guys in my Mets listserv railed on that trade in the spring. But Paulie's really come through this year. We really couldn't ask for more. Ramon Hernandez would not have done the same.
