I haven't gotten to watch many games recently because my stolen . . .err. . .I mean FREE cable hasn't been working.

I know lastings has been hitting the ball, but how has his defense looked? I have seen some funky routes to the ball. . . but has it at least been decent?

[Guest Kid Carsey]

He's alright, of course we'd rather him being in a corner but he's doing what's
needed from him and has been a big lift in other areas.

Of course I sound like Ed Coleman but I do that a lot less than I'm generally
accused of in these parts so I'll let my hair down tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

"Of course I sound like Ed Coleman "

No question about it.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I think Lastings has been fine. His throwing decisions are about as bad as you can make, but otherwise, he looks good even IMO.

Paul "I'll Be In There" LoDuca is probably stewing in a corner somewhere.

call the cable guy, maybe they'll come fix it.

Castillo begins his Met tenure with a flyout on the 2-0 pitch.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

What would be really sick, something people would talk about forever, is
that Glavine threw the Mets first no hitter while winning his 300th.

[bmfc1]

Do I have this right? The Mets bench for the night is LoDuca, Marlon, DeFelice, Newhan, Gotay? Only 1 of the 5 has been on the team all season.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Milf.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Serious Wifey Watch material coming from SNY.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Toni Darling was mugged after Game 4 at Fenway?!

And Kevin Mitchell tried to find the guy who did it?!

Holy SHIT?!

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Loved Gary's line, "good thing he didn't find him."

(paraphrasing what Cohen said of Mitchell looking for the mugger)

((there's a dead word ... mugger, mugged, mugging))

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

One might think with all the important baseball on tonight, ESP-bleepin-N might have something better than World Series of Poker on. Grrrrr.

Luckily I can listen along on MLB.com

Darling has, in the past, described that night as the best night of his career. Never mentioned that AMAZING detail before.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wheels. Coming. Off.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Oh stop.

Who was promoted with Beltran's DLing?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Castillo. Duh nevermind.

[G-Fafif]

Castillo: Second base totally his thing twice already tonight.

[G-Fafif]

Drop in on SNY of Maddux interview in which Greg refers to Tom as "Glavine". Seems a little cold.

[G-Fafif]

Jeff Suppan: Baserunner notwithstanding, still an unnecessary force for evil on the planet.

[G-Fafif]

Reyes doubles.
Castillo bunts.
Wright singles.

And thus the JLD Connection was born.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Phew! Good to have one in!

[G-Fafif]

We're witnessing history here tonight, folks.

Moises Alou is approaching his 300th minute without an apparent injury.

[G-Fafif]

Alou missed almost 2-1/2 months and is within 15 RBI of Green.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Knowing about the urine thing, did the other players give him high-fives after the sac fly?

[G-Fafif]

Play at the plate...yeah, Alou's still 15 behind Green.

[G-Fafif]

If doing that hardens his hands, perhaps he should consider trying it all over his body.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

We've had way too many guys gunned at home this year but that wasn't a dumb call. Nice play by the bad guys.

Gary sure was pleased that the Mets "took what the Brewers gave them" but had we not given them an out, we might be up by more than 1 (or may not. I can't kill them for the sacbunt either, since it worked).

What I'd like to see is Glavine protect what his mates gave him.
