Z:

Can you produce a yarmulke-wearing, bearded Mr. Met? That would be cool.

For Pete's sake, the Kenny Loggins worked for Wednesday's game...I'll try anything.

There's a river in
Evening ember glow
And you're wishing you could see
How far it flows
Rolling on to an endless sea
You'd be well on your way
If you could only set sail.

But dreams can drift away
And sails can fill with doubt
Where's your vision
If the embers flicker out?
Don't let it slip from view

The horizons are waiting
Your river is fading

So keep the fire burning tonight
See just what comes into sight
Don't take forever
Take it through the night

And believe the sun
Will rise with the dawn
That's all you need to go on
But for tonight
Just keep the fire burning bright

I will never need to ask
"What have I done?"
Comes a moment when it's clear
There's only one.
Oh, whatever you need of me
I've made up my mind
I'll give you more than you've asked for

And there are those who can foresee
Where we will go
All the future...
I don't really want to know
Only that you'll be here with me.

While the embers still glow
We'll be safe till tomorrow.

Hopefully the extra days rest will be good for Pedro.....was Glavine on regular rest or an extra days rest,IIRC he doesn't like to not pitch on his regular day and the results are not good when he doesn't,at least I think they aren't.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I repeat: a 6.06 ERA.

Mota territory.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Good Guys:
Reyes
Castillo
Wright
Beltran
Alou
Delgado
LoDuca
Milledge
Pedro

[Guest Edgy DC]

Rally. Every. Inning.

[TransMonk]

Delcos says Wags will be a game time decision, which is better than a ninth inning decision.

Ill support this as long as the season is long.

Edit-mustache added, new backround.

[soupcan]

Joan Armatrading songs are very apropos to my relationship with the Mets and how they are making me feel these days...

[DocTee]

Much better-- we don't need no stinkin' red-skinned mascot, we got our own.

Hahaha.
Hey, your right.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets need to jump on Olsen early. They need to score some early runs and knock him out early. Come on. Let's Go Mets!

[Zvon]

Looks like they hit the ball hard in the 1st.
Reads like it....

But they go 1-2-3 in the first.

And then the relievers need to not let the Marlins get all those runs back.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Not exacly what I had in mind. The Mets go quietly in order during the first.

upon edit: I'm the Straw.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Willets - "And then the relievers need to not let the Marlins get all those runs back."

That's generally how it works. Speaking of the bullpen has there been any word on Wagner's status for tonight?

[Willets Point]

No blimp tonight.

[Willets Point]

No! It was the Mets who we wanted to score some early runs.

[Zvon]

That damn Cabrera.

Doubles in Uggly.

[Gwreck]

Martinez got Willingham with an 89 mph fastball -- a very good sign, I think.

[Zvon]

OK, Pedro will settle down now.
If that was the typical shakey first that good pitchers have,.....it could have been shakeyer.

[TransMonk]

Looks like rain's on the way...best to score some runs early just in case this is a short one.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reyes has to give up his body a bit on that throw by Lo Duca.

[Zvon]

Errors kill folks.
Errors kill.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I just turned off the TV. Can't watch.

Maybe I'll tune in again later.

I hope I don't.

Did anyone see Utley do that the other night--throw to second on a steal, a short hop in the dirt.
Utley went to his knees like a catcher, without all that catchers equipment, btw, and just totally threw his body in front of the ball.

We need that kind of playin guys.

That Phils-Wash game is tied 1-1, Howard with an opposite field homer.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Marlin miscue.

Exploit it, Carlos.

[TransMonk]

Miscue two plates a run.
