[Centerfield]

Let's fucking win.

I fucking hate Brad Penny.

[Guest iramets]

You misspelled "hat" again.

[Guest martin]

wow, willie looked genuinely annoyed by kuo's bat-flip in that interview. i wonder if he would prod a pitcher to send a message.

[Frayed Knot]

Wright stays in the clean-up spot even against the RHP -- and delivers the RBI single

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'm usually pretty sensitive to poor sportsmanship but Kuo gets a pass. He was excited and should have been. If he were truly trying to show anyone up he could have made certain Maine even watched it. I think the Mets are having terrible CAHNfidence right now and are vulnerable to suggestions from broadcasters and jerkoffs like Michael Kay as to how to act.

The way to get back at Kuo would have been to score a few runs. The crazy thing is those 3 HRs were the only things went wrong all night, pitching wise, and it let the O off the hook when they were again to blame.

I suppose there was some psychological damage to assess seeing as it followed our little run-scoing immediately but jee-zus, let's get over it, and like I should be doing now, focus on how encouraging it is to score first once again with David Wright hot and all.

Go Mets!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Penny wearing Piazza's digits.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pitching around Furcal to get to Pierre. In'eresting

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm staying up for this shit. How 'bout you?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Still here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I missed the Green-Penny standoff. Any recap on what went down?

(Green Penny Standoff, opening for Therapy? at Irving Plaza.)

[Gwreck]

Doing the important stuff, like washing the dishes and washing my David Wright jersey for Friday's game, but definetly still here.

[Gwreck]

Penny yelled at Green, ostensibly about peeking at the catcher for signs.

Green was pissed. LoDuca had some words with Penny when Penny came to the plate but Green still seemed mad.

Wouldn't mind Sosa planting one in Penny's rear end next time he's up.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm here, too!

Jorge Sosa has the karma working in his favor for talking to me at Comerica on Sunday and signing my Mets history book.

[Frayed Knot]

Penny's an ass, always has been.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

The Dodgers gave 31 to coach John "T-Bone" Shelby shortly after trading Piazza in 98. Shelby also wore 31 as a Dodger player.

Here's some dumb facts: The last player to wear 31 on the Dodgers before Piazza: Roger McDowell. McDowell gave up 31 to switch to 17 in 1993 so as to honor Keith Hernandez and Piazza took over 31. Piazza previously was 25.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

FU, Wilson Betimit.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Beteshit.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Furball triples. Could be the knockout blow.

[Batty31]

Yeah...I wasn't too happy to see that.

Different uniform, yet Furcal still manages to be a pest...

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'll say it. This isn't that good a team looking to sweep us.

[Gwreck]

No offense anywhere to be found. Terrible.

[Batty31]

And I'm fearing another sweep this weekend.

Editing: I think the Bad News Bears could sweep them at this point...

Great..Nomar with a stolen base.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Their bullpen is going to violate us again.

Hey, the throw hit Martin. Where have we heard that before?

[Frayed Knot]

Following up the 3-run inning with a 5-pitch bagel doesn't help matters much and is a big fuckin gift to Penny.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bat Duke second.

That might help.

A little.

A very little.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How does Hillary Swank stand it?

First Chad Lowe, now Derek Lowe.

[Frayed Knot]

Batting LoDuca #2 is quickly becoming the fans' favorite red herring.

I don't have an ojection to it but when you get 8 hits (7 singles) over two games and Green in the 2-slot has several of them who bats in what order isn't going to make a difference.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Nothing improves until Carlos & Carlos get into it and I'm beginning to doubt either will.

This boxscore will look like shit for Sosa

[Guest cleonjones11]

I think the lockeroom chemistry aint good. Ask Glavine..

By the way..the MFY's are on our tail

Phillies too

Beltran's a dog
