Lets get to Smoltz!!!!

[Centerfield]

I agree with cleon. Let's win this fucking game.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Giving Smoltz an early see-ya would go a long way to erasing last
night's game. Another hour ... ug

[Guest Edgy DC]

We have five .300 hitters in our lineup. How about that?

[Elster88]

Dukie just made Texiera look foolish.

[Elster88]

Great catch Hayes, don't ever fuckin do it again.

[Elster88]

3 hard hit balls to start the second. A fly out to the track and two line drive base hits.

[Elster88]

Reyes throws hard.

[Elster88]

Don't even think it.

[Benjamin Grimm]

No-hitter through four.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

1 run through four, gonna take more than that despite OHern's thingy.

And the next batter gets a base hit.

Yah, what we post here has a direct affect on the goings on in Flushing.

Don't be a sourpuss.

[Elster88]

I think it's effect.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Sweet DP action, still 1-sniffle ...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice DP!

[Guest Kid Carsey]

One of my old time faves ....

E88:>>>I think it's effect<<<

When I look into your big brown eyes
And I feel like I'm in paradise
I want you by my side
'Cause I'm affected, 'fected
Yeah, I'm affected, 'fected
Well I'm affected
And all I want is you

Didn't know it a few years ago
But now I finally know
I want you by my side
I want you baby, baby, baby, baby

Yeah, I love you and I want you to know
Yeah, yeah, and that's for sure
I want you by my side
'Cause I'm affected, 'fected
Yeah, I'm affected, 'fected
Well, I'm affected
And all I want is you

[Elster88]

Just trying to fit in with the elitists.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Gotta get Ramones' lyrics in from time to time, it's an edict from way back ...

[Elster88]

Is Reyes getting thrown out more than he used to?

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Seems so. That freakin' slide of his makes my heart stop sometimes.

[nymr83]

apparently chipper still owns the Mets. 2-1 bad guys

[Elster88]

I have zero faith that we'll come back.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Weird double by Larry, it was basically a base hit to center but Lastings
was positioned well to left center. Scoring from first there looked bad.

[Elster88]

Smoltz owns David with that slider.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, we should have had more runs all along.

Two seperate innings started with a lead-off Reyes single [u:ba7d8cff9f]AND[/u:ba7d8cff9f] a SB (one steal, one a pick-off error).
Then there were THREE productive outs mixed in (one bunt, one Sac Fly, one groundout) but a total of only 1 run was scored.

Showing once again, in my mind, that so-called productive outs are nearly as important in run building as many seem to think. They rarely do squat unless you also get hits to go along and if you do that then you don't need to move-up outs.

Are not, I think you meant.
