John Delcos is "chatting" from the press box and said that Sandy Alomar, Jr. is back so the Mets finally have a 3d catcher.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Ollie's too clever by half. F'ed around with Griffey and lost him 0-2 to a walk, leading to a 2-run rally.

Now we screw up strike 3 on the next leadoff batter.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Fuck, now he's lost a 3-run lead on a double by Jeff F. Keppinger.

[Valadius]

DOOKIE!!!!!!

Lo Duca fucked up the inning.

[nymr83]

Perez has walked 3 straight batters, maybe we can send him down to the minors for 4 or 5 years and he'll come back smacking bombs like Rick Ankiel.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Los I -- you rock.

[bmfc1]

KA-BOOM!

Come on, Zvon!

[seawolf17]

That was funny... Keith said he "just missed that one" right after it left the bat.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Mmmmm. Soft underbelly.

I was about to wonder where Milledge was.

[bmfc1]

Right before the double,the Reds color guy said that with Bill Bray's stuff, he can get Shawn Green to roll it over and hit a grounder. Roll over that one!

Well, just because he can do it doesn't mean he's going to. Maybe he meant Green could roll it over... there, between those two outfielders.

[seawolf17]

Nice play by Keppinger to snag the hot grounder. (If only we'd kept him, we'd have a great player for the future at third.)

Nice play by LoDuca, staying in the rundown long enough to get Milledge to second.

Nice play by Rickey Henderson, reminding Milledge to hustle and get to second base.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Might as well say it again.

Hello. My name is Gary Majewski. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

[Willets Point]

Are the FSN Ohio broadcasters really so brazenly bored with baseball that they just spent a half inning discussing Bengals football?

[bmfc1]

I guess the Bengals were next... they've already discussed HS football twice.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How about that job Ruben is doing today?

Let's get Castillo's knee as much rest as it needs going down the stretch.

On Beltran: "Most switch-hitters hit the same way from both sides of the plate."

Not in my experience.

[bmfc1]

I wonder if tomorrow is "rest the infield day" for the Mets. If so, perhaps: C--DeFelice; 1B--Green; 2B--Anderson; SS--Gotay; 3B--Conine... with Chavez, Beltran and Milledge in the OF.

[metirish]

Am I crazy or have the games gotten longer since the rosters expanded,I hate it.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

wow. PLD

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm Paul Lo Duca, seven RBIs, damn glad to meet you.

[Frayed Knot]

That's some pretty weak Coffey the Reds are serving up here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reds' announcer: "Wow, people are leaving this game like they're giving away bags of 20s in the parking lot."

[metirish]

WOW is right...two three run home runs and an RBI single good for seven RBI,LoDuca once had six RBI for the Dodgers.

Do you really think that the above lineup is an automatic loss against the Reds?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

LoDuca goes Kaboom (again).
