I'll be interested to see how our 3 Carlos' handle the ace lefty..

[Centerfield]

Don't let the record fool you, Santana has been good. In his 6 losses, 5 times he gave up 3 runs or less. In the other one, he gave up 4.

I hope Sosa's on his game.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Wow, Jason Tyner.

For some reason, I semi-vividly recall watching Baseball Tonight and finding out about the Tyner/Paul Wilson for Bubba Trammell/Rick White trade.

Also, Tyner just reminded me of another marginally talent, left handed, white centerfielder. Jeff Duncan, where the hell are you now?

[Willets Point]

Duncan was killed in his sleep by MacBeth.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Fun Jason Tyner Fact: His middle name, Renyt, is "Tyner" spelled backwards, per Wikipedia.

Unpleasant Jason Tyner Fact: He just singled home a run, 2-0 Twins.

Right under my name, is where.

I liked Duncan. Maybe I'll start a thread about "Mets You LIked For A Long, Long Time Until You Realized They Couldn't Play MLB Any Better Than Your Cat."

Good old number 61.

5-0 Twinkies.

You thought Duncan was hot,didn't you ira?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Three errors? The fuck?

Get Duncan out of there.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

What the heck are you guys going on about?

Anyways, I didn't expect to put up much against JS ... but jeez it would be
a lot more fun staying tuned in if they weren't getting shellacked too.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Jeff Duncan: .222/.328/.222 for your Syracuse Chiefs (AAA-Toronto).

(Yes, slugging=batting. All 26 of his hits this year are singles).

[Guest Edgy DC]

I just got a tiny Live Free or Die Hard commercial in the corner of the screen. Was that on SNY or is it just tacked on by MLB.tv?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

All I ever see on SNY is the fat girl advertising Daisy Mae's BBQ and the fat-armed woman bullshitting me about the luxuriousness with which the car salesman at the Lexus dealership will show me.

My screen just showed Johan Santana get a double.

[Guest cleonjones11]

My screen is now showing The deadliest catch on discovery...Sleep well Sele

[Frayed Knot]

My screen is going to be showing 'House' reruns in a few minutes.

[metsmarathon]

the wheels on the bus fall off the bus

off the bus

off the bus

the wheels on the bus fall off the bus

oh, woe to us.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

OK, down by 9, bottom 9th but we got the top of the order up and their guy is tired.

If I were wearing a cap right now, it would be inside out or uipside down (Reyes singles... we're off)

[metirish]

Complete game,four hits and ninty two pitches...a Mets disgrace.....oh and the errors.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Willie should contact Art Howe for tips on throwing garbage cans.

[Guest Iubitul]

That was just fugly

[Frayed Knot]

If you're going to pitch like shit and field like shit at least it's good to do it on a night when Santana's pitching and you're going to hit like shit too.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Certainly the healthiest way to look at it short of temples exploding or
pop bottles being thrown at tv screens.

Still, I'm waiting for this team to pull together and make a statement and
the one they're working on right now just ain't doing it for us.

[Gwreck]

Going it, I thought Sunday's loss was our worst loss of the year.

Guess not.

I guess I was glad to see the best pitcher in baseball have his best outing of the year. Woulda been ok, maybe, with a 2-0 or 3-1 loss. But not the steaming pile of crap they put up tonight.
