[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The return of Moises. Hopefully he will help lead the Mets to the promised land.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I kinda wrote him off in my mind, it's gonna take a good game or two for
me acknowledge his presence lol ...

[Frayed Knot]

It's going to take me at least that long to remember what he looks like.

[Guest iramets]

is this Meringue Night?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Who are they sending down to make room for Alou?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I haven't had any luck finding who went to make room for Alou. I guess one our members lucky enough to actually be able to see the game will have to fill us in on the roster moves involved.

I would think that this would earn Anderson Hernandez a return ticket to New Orleans. Ruben Gotay and Damion Easley should be able to handle second base. In an emergency, Marlon Anderson could probably fill in. Of course, Willie may want to keep AH around as a defensive sub which would likely cost Sandy Alomar, Jr. his spot as catcher #3. LoDuca and Castro can adequately handle the catching duties. I guess it depends upon whether Willie would rather keep either Gotay/Easley for a bat on the bench or have Catro/LoDuca more available to pich hit.

[Guest iramets]

Alomar.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Shoulda been So-so.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Yikes. Sosa sure is sucking tonight.

On the bright side, the Nats pitcher is one of our old castoffs from the dark days, I think.

]Sosa sure is sucking tonight.

]the Nats pitcher is one of our old castoffs from the dark days, I think

yes he is. and yes he is.

[nymr83]

Alou is back, leadoff double!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

LoDuca needs to continue his recent resurgence here.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Mets on the corners with no outs. Come on Milledge, keep it going.

[nymr83]

crap. i dont like the run for the double play there, i wanted the big inning against a bad pitcher.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

That wasn't quite what I had in mind. That inning fizzled out pretty quickly.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Sosa is getting better. Zimmerman's hit didn't go for extra bases.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Nationals extended batting practice continues as Ryan Church homers to right.

[Guest iramets]

Sosa's batting in the fifth!

And gets a hit!!

[nymr83]

holy shit, green almost got doubled off of 3rd on a RIPPED liner that Zimmerman pulled out of the air

[nymr83]

Easley brings Green home, it 4-2 with 2 on for David Wright

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'll bet this is So-so's last start for awhile, at least for the Mets -- may as well wear him out.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I was thinking the same thing with a noon start tomorrow and day/night thing, keep
it within the three runs it is now and hope for the offense to spurt before it's over.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Jon Adkins joins the scrolls.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Milledge ticks the ball off the side of his bat and gets a single. Green and Gotay crush it and account for outs 1 and 2.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Is it me or did the Mets just make three outs trying to hit four-run homers
each time with a guy on first?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

We could use a pretty severe comeback here.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

I think I spotted SJRogers a few rows off the visitors dugout towards the end
of the last inning ... someone text him and tell him to put his cap on inside
out and get some rally cap action going already!!!

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Easley: bifl

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Four run bottom half of the ninth? Too much to ask? I think not.
