Gomez got the head shaved before the game.......

[metirish]

Perez having a tough time throwing strikes,but comes back nicely to SO Hall.

[Frayed Knot]

Top 1: Ollie works around a leadoff walk on 2 FOs and a K.

[metirish]

Fucking Easley....

[Frayed Knot]

Attention Jose Valentin, please report to the platoon desk immediately upon your arrival.


OK, maybe I'm exaggerating, but Easley's sure made the most of his few ABs

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Oh man. Omen.

[Frayed Knot]

Strong north wind today (trust me, I just came in from a bike ride) which usually means a tough day to get one out of Shea. Ollie taking advantage of that by serving up 5 fly balls over the first 2 innings and letting the track stars chase them down.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Carlos Gomez with a double down the 3rd base line. Nice way to kick off a career.

Dude can fly.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Easley looks like the 1997-98 model.

[Guest jerseyshore]

Nice to see Perez not fold after giving up the hit to the pitcher

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Ronnie's colorblind?

Someone is becuase that tie did not look purple to me.

Gomez making a fine diving catch ,nice play,Gary said scouts have likened his defence to Torii Hunter.

[Frayed Knot]

Looks like we got Ollie Jeckle so far today. Now we just need to keep Ollie Hyde away for the next couple of innings

[Frayed Knot]

]Gary said scouts have likened his defence to Torii Hunter.

Let's wait a while before going that far.



Charles Newtown in to pitch for the Brew Crew (Carlos Villanueva)

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I just got in from taking the family out for a late Mother's day lunch. Nice to see that all seems to be going well at Shea.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I hope Oliver gets the chance for the shutout.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

After Gomez steals a base so quickly that the Brewers defense didn't even move, Perez adds an RBI to his Schaeferific day.


(And then Reyes triples him home).

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Well, letting him bat in the bottom of the eighth seems to indicate that Willie is going to give him a shot at getting the complete game.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

4 RBI day for Easley, despite J.J. Hardy's really nice defense.

You won't like this then,Gary likened Gomez running to Willie Mays,and he's right,in full stride he looks like Mays.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Of course, maybe just wanted Perez to hit as he drives in Gomez from second with a two out single. Then Reyes tries to tire his pitcher by hitting a triple to right center and making Perez score from first.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Elmer Dessens looks like a tee.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Beltran piles on with a two run home run.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Jerk.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Great performance by Perez, even without getting the complete game or the shut out.

A great series for the Mets. I'm quite pleased with the Mets winning 2 of 3 from the Brewers with the way the pitching match ups fell.

Meanwhile, the Pirates are pounding the Braves 9-2 with Pittsburgh threatening in the home half of the seventh.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Yay

[Frayed Knot]

]Gary likened Gomez running to Willie Mays,and he's right,in full stride he looks like Mays.

At least then he was just likening his running style to that of Mays -- and he's right, it kind of is. There could be 20 guys in the league right now as fast as Mays was in his prime, but that's a whole lot different from saying that they can play like him and you'll find a defensive CFer as good as Torii once or twice a decade if you're lucky.
Speed's one thing but, unless young Carlos is catching balls while doing handstands down in AA there, scouts invoking TH type-of-D need to be sedated before going totally overboard.
