I know it's only July and there's "plenty of baseball left to be played" but this feels like a big game. BV always said it's a big game "because it's the one we're playing today" but this one seems bigger than most. It's the "rubber game" of the road trip, it means winning a series against another first place team, and it's the day before a day off (so the result lingers until 7:10 on Tuesday). So LGM!!!

[Guest iramets]

Plus if they win it, they can fulfill Irish's hope for a series sweep.

Or they could if they'd won yesterday, of course.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I can't believe Eric Stoltz is going to do us up the chute again.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Lastings. What I'm talking about.

Knockout blow for Keith.

[Guest cleonjones11]

Cmon Wright do what Carlos cant

[Guest cleonjones11]

Thats what I'm talkin about!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cleon and Edgy, talking about the same thing.

The M-M-M-M-Mets are c-c-c-coming to k-k-k-kill me.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Who do you prefer right now against Seanez --- Delgado with a runner on first, or Lo Duca with a runner on second?

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Cap'n red-ass is starting to turn a little pink.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm kind of thinking that, all things considered, Wright hurt the team with that stolen base there. The chance of Delgado getting an extra-basey against Seanez seemed greater than the chance of Lo Duca getting a hit of any kind.

[Guest cleonjones11]

Well..Stultz is out...that should bode well..I see Shrek getting into the game and leading the Mets to a happy flight home

[Guest Edgy DC]

Not happy right now.

[Guest cleonjones11]

Steroid boy stick figure Nomar---damn

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wow. Sticking with Hernandez against Furcal here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, that gets them out of that.

Three innings to get those back.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wow, going back to Lowe. Let's sting him again.

[duan]

hernandez was definitely the victim of some really dubious umpiring in the bottom of the 6th. there were 4 pitches over 2 abs that definitely looked like strikes to me that were called balls.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hernandez thought so also.

Gameday thought so also. It had three of the four balls to Gonzalez looking like strikes.

[Guest Edgy DC]

On the other hand, while I still haven't learned out to interpret the Gameday pitch data, Hernandez' homer pitch to Garciaparra looks like a cookie.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cool. Tying run up, no outs, 2-3-4 coming.

Hey, Loney, out of the basepath.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mr. Eighth Inning comes up 25 feet short.

Four-three.

[bmfc1]

Before Loney's single that made it 2-0, did anybody else think that Loney's hitting so well, that they should walk him (the runner was on 2d) to face Ethier?

[bmfc1]

C'mon Carlos D...you're due!
C'mon Paulie...you're due!
C'mon Shawn...you're due!

[Guest Edgy DC]

We got good Heilman today.

Hell, we got great Heilman.

Let's strip the pants off of Broxton here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's it.

Hernandez time, right?

[Guest Edgy DC]

LET'S GO METS!
LET'S GO METS!
LET'S GO METS!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Why couldn't Jeter be st short for the Dodgers?

[DocTee]

Woo Hoo!

[Guest Edgy DC]

WOO-HOOO!
