[TransMonk]

I believe Milledge is still active for tonight's game. If it gets rained out, then I imagine Pelfrey won't join the team until the next time through the rotation.

[Frayed Knot]

]Did Lastings get sent down?

No word of it. Probably after the game though.
Poor guy barely got an AB.

Easley gets his first start

In honor of Glavine & Moyer starting tonight, they're setting aside the radar gun for timing pitches in favor of one of those sand timers. They thought about using a sun dial but the weather didn't cooperate.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

It would have been nice to find Lastings at least one start, Willie.

Whatya dubm?

[nymr83]

we're tied.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Wright has got to stop killing every single early rally this team has.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

He does seem to have a knack early on for letting the air out of the balloon.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

But his third base play has been all-star.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Rollins on a mission with dinger #2.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Opening day fans shoulda stuck to cheering for the Mets, not embarrassing the other guys.

Braves and Phils have outplayed the Mets so far

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Glavine makes up for Easley's poor turn.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I'll only say it once this year, but that stupid Volare/ohohhhh thing is too
fucking Yankee Stadium for my taste to be done at Shea/Citi.

[Farmer Ted]

Watching on the Phils comcast with Harry Kalas. Trivia...only Mets player with the last name beginning with U? Easy one. I think Harry's been checking out the UMDB.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

This version of the Mets is frustrating to watch. They create all kinds of opportunities for themselves but never seem to want to cah in until the defense gives them an opening.

Plus, entirely too many complete zero innings for my liking.

If this season were a chick I wouldn;'t have tried to pick her up yet.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

It's the 9th game of the season. If you're going to liken it to approaching
someone in a bar, the bartender hasn't even looked at you yet and neither
has she. Take that jacket off and belly up.

[Guest iramets]

Two ribbie single for Reyes.

[Guest iramets]

There;s some Abbott- and-Costello potential in Damion Easley.

The Eunuch, last inning "And Easley scores easily."

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Rollins gets another AB, doesn't homer.

Hah! What a loser!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Going into the bottom of the fifth with Beltran, Delgado, Wright.

This would be a good inning to score a few runs.

I'm gonna get hammered at this rate. Help me wingman.

And then again, maybe not.

Wright hit by a pitch and steals second, but the Mets don't score.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I'll spill half a beer on her, you call me a dick and push me, I back down
and go feed the jukebox. You're on your own ...

With the Mets winning 4-3, why does Cy Moyer still look good through five?

Interesting. So that's why Del is getting so many hits today.

He might even win the daily title for the first time.

Or you can get a drunken fat guy to fall on her and break her back.

There is no "U" in "team."

Unless you spell it "teum."

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Phils afraid to pitch to Reyes with a guy on third with two outs and pitch
around him and then give him first for fourth ball.

Phils afraid.

Reyes steals second.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Lo Duca hit by pitch to load 'em.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Beltran K's leaving the bases loaded.

Oh those LOB's.

[Farmer Ted]

Mrs. Ted guessed Uribe but none that I remember.

These Phils are annoying. Having no output from Delgado isn't much of a help either.
