Some rally music to help the Mets "break out" of their slump:

[Benjamin Grimm]

Easley drops one in to right, runners advance. Bases loaded. One out.

[Guest AG/DC]

There 'tis!

[Benjamin Grimm]

With Moises beckoning, Brady's job is in danger.

He can do himself and the team some good here...

[nymr83]

lets go Brady!!

[Benjamin Grimm]

He reaches on an odd-looking force play, and a run scores.

[nymr83]

fielder's choice bring one in, and now its up to Casanova

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Now is the time for that big Casanova hit I'd been campaigning for.

[Benjamin Grimm]

But he grounds to short.

Inning over. 3-1 Cubs.

My effort at reverse psychology at least paid off with one run.

[nymr83]

inning over.

We need Church in there and we need Alou back.
Reyes Church Wright Beltran Alou Delgado Easley Schneider Pitcher looks pretty good.

Yeah, he's had way too many chances to have helped us out not to have helped us out by now, if you know what I mean.

[Guest AG/DC]

Missing Lo Du.

[Benjamin Grimm]

His spring training made me think that he'd be another Ramon Castro, but it's not happening.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cubs get the leadoff runner on in the 6th and Schoeneweis will now replace Figueroa.

i'm not. Schneider's defense has converted me and if only Castro were healthy we wouldnt need to carry casanova at all.

Figueroa is done for the day.

[HahnSolo]

OK, Lou, if you're going to bunt anyway, why waste a bench player? Let Lilly bunt.

[Guest AG/DC]

Schneider's defense is to be missed right now also.

Really, the one catcher show has been cold shower.

Yes it sucks tremendous ass. The Schneid in the meantime hasn't been all that sharp with the glove and been hurt twice since spiring training began. That's pretty shittty too.

[HahnSolo]

Milwaukee-St. Lou game a real humdinger. 8-8 top ninth, Cards get 4 in seventh and one more in 9th to tie. Another blown save for Eric Gagne, with the Cards still batting.

[Guest sharpie]

Bob Howry, sucking ass all year, sets Mets down in order. Then again, Ted Lilly had been an ass-sucker also.

[HahnSolo]

Smith staying in for the 7th?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yup.

[Guest AG/DC]

Gagne is another that did his job ag'in' the Mets but not other times.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well thanks to yesterday's pathetic attempt at scoring, any comeback will have to be launched against Marmol & Wood.

[Guest sharpie]

I'm glad we don't have to face Fukudome again after today for a while.

[HahnSolo]

Well, that about does it. A three run deficit the way our offense is going is just about insurmountable.

[Guest sharpie]

Sosa has an opportunity to put away this game the same way he put away last night's game. Sheesh.

[Frayed Knot]

Both our RBIs this series are on infield groundouts.
