Anderson gets all the way to 2nd on a dropped flyball, miscommunication between pierre and somebody else, wright drives him in.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wriight drives in Anderson who reached on a Juan Pierre error. One-zip.

[nymr83]

anyone else home?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ouch.

[metirish]

I'm here........why the late start?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I just got here. See where the MFYs were down by 10?

I'm very exhausted, I must warn you

i kept waiting figuring someone with something to say other than the lineups would startan IGT, then the game started so i figured i'd go ahead. 10:40 starts are unfaur to east coast fans even on a friday night, 10:10 is late enough, why couldnt they start then?

Gary Cohen said it's because of LA traffic. I don't know if he was kidding.

And how great is it that EI has the SNY feed tonight!

He's not.

Here representin' tha West Coast

Tomko has been awful this season--

Loney and Kemp have been lights out.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Back from seeing Neko Case in Central Park to see Nomar Garciaparra homer to center field.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, who woke up Nomar's power stroke?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I liked Nomar better as a Red Sock.

Unfortunately, Nymr's power stroke hasn't been seen in years.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Valentin's 2 out single last inning did serve to clear the pitcher's spot in the order so the top of the order will start the third inning.

Let's get the lead back right here.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Tomko wanted no part of Wright in that at bat. Make him pay Delgado.

[nymr83]

Delgado strikes out on 3 pitches stranding 2 runners. its 1-1 and i'm getting sleepy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Can we just ban these black' duds between innings?

[nymr83]

i'm on radio, what are u talking about?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Black uniforms stink is what I'm talking about.

Bad news happening for Valentin fans.

[Frayed Knot]

That Valentin foul ball high off the shin looked like the same type that broke
Jermaine Dye's leg in the playoffs back about 5 years ago.

[DocTee]

Gotay in for JVal

[Guest martin]

i know people hate to hear "addition by subtraction", but i don't mind if valentin takes the rest of the year off to heal.

I do.
I mean even if we decide (after what, a few dozen ABs?) that Gotay is the real deal, it's not like bench players with Valentin's ability to switch-hit w/enough power to scare the opposing bench grow on trees.

[nymr83]

yeah, starting or not Valentin is valuable to this team

[Guest martin]

i might have agreed with that before milledge and anderson arrived, or if valentin hadnt been having such a bad year. his 2007 OPS is .668. last year it was .820.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Anderson's is .582. Milledge's is .423!

A player getting hurt is bad no matter how you look at it.

[DocTee]

With JVal hurt and Easley out, who backs up the Goat?
