Well,...I thought so but it would have been a helluva play.

It was reachable. Was not routine.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I picked the wrong afternoon to stop sniffing glue.

[Zvon]

That damn Utley lines a double over Churches head in right, and now my head hurts too.

[smg58]

Is Feliciano OK? This is two innings in a row where he should have been brought in.

[metsmarathon]

grr...

[stevejrogers]

5-2 ballgame.

I don't think it is hyperbole to suggest at this point that what the Mets do between right now and Thursday night will go a long way in determining what kind of season we have in Flushing.

[Zvon]

Rollins limped in from 2nd....he hurt himself on one of those throws to second Aaron didn't make.

Heilman bluffed a throw back to 2nd afew times before the Utley hit.

Rollins is leaving the dugout with the trainer.

And that's because you're a fucking idiot.

Oh you want the profile to be a negative one?

Seriously though I still think I owe you or someone for Sunday.

yes, but so far its unforthcoming.

The Phils guys haven't touched on it.

Gah!
Wright tries to hold up on a high fastball.
He don't.
He's rung up.

[metirish]

I'd like to watch the replay of this tonight with a happy feeling, so come fucking on and win this game for fucks sake.

[Zvon]

Beltran with his 7th lead leading double.

[stevejrogers]

And the Mets get RickRolled!

This is the story, to me. I'm not sure if I'd rather hear that Feliciano is nicked up, or that this is another example of how bullpen management is going to be a huge problem again this year.

[Zvon]

whoa--2nd pitch to Delgado is LOW, but called a strike.
Maybe low AND outside.

Now its a full count.

Come on CarlosD....

[metirish]

Newsday blog......I guess the Mets are good sports or something.

] 4:06 p.m. You got to hand it to deadspin and fark.com. They scored a big one here. In the Mets' online poll to determine what song they're going to play in the eighth inning, the people at those Web sites organized a campaign to write-in Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." Sure enough, the song won. Give the Mets credit for playing it, too, although the public address announcer essentially explained how they got punked. He told the 56,000 people here they were "Rick-rolled." As the song played, Mets fans booed.

[Zvon]

Delagado grounded into the shift, Utley tosses him out, Beltran moves up to third.

Clark works a walk.

Church can tie this game with one swing of the bat.

[seawolf17]

Come on, Ryan Church, hit a three-run home run here so we can hear Rick Astley all season.

[stevejrogers]

Awww crud!

[stevejrogers]

Schneider, Chavez and Reyes final hope for today.

[smg58]

Carlos Muniz is in. He got called up when they put Wise on the DL this morning.

[Zvon]

Church dribbles one to second.

Even a simple single there and I would have worshiped in his pew.
____________(I dont know what I mean by that^)

[HahnSolo]

I missed this earlier. Why is Easley in at second?

[smg58]

Muniz gets out Feliz and now faces Ruiz.

Castillo: Right knee soreness.

Edited April 8, 2008 by Guest

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Castillo's knee sucks.

[smg58]

Castillo's knees started bothering him, so Easley took his place.

[smg58]

Muniz goes 1-2-3. At this rate he'll be closing by Thursday.
