Holy crap--Scully just told us that Reyes' father was a plumber. Unbelievable.

[Fman99]

Nice. That might have been a close play had the catcher not thrown to the wrong side.

[soupcan]

Reyes walks and steals second.

Time for another RBI Church.

[soupcan]

Or not.

[TransMonk]

Scully is the man.

[TransMonk]

Billy Wagner couldn't have made that play. Damn!

[Gwreck]

Gary and Ron talking about how thick Billingsley's legs are, and how his and Jonathon Broxton's are the thickest in the league.

How quickly they forget Heath Bell.

[metirish]

Any sign of Seo these days? , probably at the game.

Ian Ziering right behind home plate , first time he's been seen on TV in 15 years.

Would flipping him and Tom Nieto -- or putting Jerry Manuel back out as a base coach -- really be that hard to do? Bucket has been all over him since he moved to coach third.

Oh, I know. You can count me on that bandwagon.

[Gwreck]

Only 588 games remaining on Luis Castillo's contract...

Twhack.

[metirish]

Castillo is the worst , I'm sick of watching pitchers go into deep counts every fucking batter , when was the last time the Mets were involved in a game that lasted less than two hours , two hours I can do tonight but not this crap.

[Frayed Knot]

"when was the last time the Mets were involved in a game that lasted less than two hours "

Two hours? ... dude, we've only got 1 game under 2:30 so far and only 3 or 4 under 2:45
We're averaging well over 3:00 this season.

[metirish]

Yeah it's wishful thinking FK , Schneider throws another one away .

[Guest AG/DC]

Tell me Lo Duca couldn't have done that.

[metirish]

I know Schneider has been injured and missed spring training but he's shown nothing in defence.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tip of the cap to Oliver Perez for pitching pretty well since the first.

[TransMonk]

C'mon offense, RISP are your friends.

I wonder if he just feels more comfortable out there with all the Mexicans.

The Schneid has had three separate injuries. He's a big disappointment so far.

[Guest AG/DC]

Jones being booed like nobody's business. I don't know that I've ever seen the Dodger faithful care enough to lash out at somebody like that.

Or even be explicily rude. You know what they say: In New York we say fuck you but mean good morning. In Los Angeles, they say good morning, but mean fuck you.

Jones got a hardy good morning there.

He's still been more productive than our top 3 other options (Castro, LoDuca and Estrada).

[TransMonk]

Third time's a charm, David. Go get 'em.

[metirish]

Still has that arm Furcal.

[Frayed Knot]

We'd have a better chance of scoring one of these innings if we'd quit having Perez lead off.

[Guest AG/DC]

That looked like a hit all the way.

[metirish]

Blake DeWitt hits his first major league home run.

[TransMonk]

Ugh...game getting away in a hurry.

[Guest AG/DC]

Saw it.

Powderfuck, I'd like somebody to get around on Billingslea.

[nymr83]

5-0 was my personal "going to bed mercy rule." Lets hope I see an amazing comeback when i check tommorow.
