Yeah, they use "Fucking" as a middle name too much.

Still Yady actually, you know, cleared the fence.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two hands, Shawnie.

[TransMonk]

I think that's seven putouts and an error tonight for Greenie...and he hasn't lost his hat once.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Steve Kline is still playing baseball?

Batter this guy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm getting the Gigante broadcasters and there's been a nasty fan argument going on this half inning being picked up by their mics. Any of that bleeding into the Met booth?

[Batty31]

I didn't hear any of it..then again I have the volume on low.

[TransMonk]

I don't think it's a fan argument...those fans have been giving the business to LoDuca all night. Kind of harsh stuff, too.

[Batty31]

Kline just tossing his glove in the dugout reminds of the time he threw it in the stands in a game against the Mets many years ago.

Yes and he's apparently still an ass.

I've got the radio on loud (in the next room actually) and not hearing a thing from the fans. What are they saying that's so fascinating?

[TransMonk]

To me, watching the same broadcast as Edgy, it sounded like there are a couple of fans near the SF TV booth that have been yelling at LoDuca all night. Something about hoping he had a pre-nup, something about the girl next door, all stuff about his public break up.

[Willets Point]

On the bright side, the rest of the NL East & the Yankees all lost tonight as well.

[Centerfield]

What an awful inning. It reminded me of the Chan Ho Park inning.

Maybe a New Yorker was there, because somebody kept retorting, "SHUT DA FUCK UP!"

And a few moments later:

"SHUuuuuT...! DA FUuuuuCK! UP!"

Maybe Red-Ass didn't lose his bat entirely by accident.

[Willets Point]

I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that the winning pitcher of this game would fit well in the Mets rotation, and he was available just for money last winter. I'd feel the rotation would be less on the bubble if Pelfrey & Perez could work out their kinks without the pressure of being the #3 & #4 pitchers and that they could be our contingency plan when someone like Hernandez is hurt instead of scraping up the likes of Park or Sosa. I imagine the opposing teams would be shitting their keks if the Mets came to town and league ERA leader John Maine was the #5 pitcher. Oh well, I guess we have to deal with what we're dealt, but the last two losses could have been wins under different circumstances.

And my mother could be my father if she had a dick.

Oh, wait...

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that the Mets still lead the majors in ERA, by a not insignificant amount, that six of the nine runs were un-earned, and that Molina's first homer was really a double.

We outscored Zito and the Giants 4-3 in earned runs.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

San Francisco grossly overpaid for Zito in my opinion. I wanted to see Zito in a Mets uniform, but not at the price it ended up costing to sign him this winter. I think that over the life of his contract the Mets will be glad not to be saddled with his salary.

I'm accustomed to Yankee fans thinking that it's only money that stands in the way of any player they desire to obtain, but I would hate to see Mets and their fans start to adopt a similar mind set.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that Barry Zito on his best day probably wouldn't win behind the defense the Mets played in this game.

From a blog on North Jersey.com

] But it's only almost perfect here. When Jose Reyes led off the game, the scoreboard showed his name, his stats and a photo of a Jose Reyes, but not this Jose Reyes. Instead, they dug up a photo of Jose A. Reyes, the Mets minor league catcher who is playing for Binghamton.

Funny.
