[Fman99]

NICE!

Hit and run, line drive to left-center. First and third, no outs.

[Frayed Knot]

Face it Miller, you're a dead man.

[Gwreck]

YES.

[Elster88]

That's a lineout if Wright's not running.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I trust Easley to hit a fly ball.

It was not a hit and run.

[Guest AG/DC]

I was certain that Beltran's liner was going to be right into the glove of Ramirez covering.

Sabbath is getting it done tonight. Keep feeding Ozzie.

And Beltran's been real good at line-outs recently.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

[Elster88]

Gary's right I'll almost take a double play here over a K. Dammit Easley. Cut Delgado NOW!!!

[Fman99]

Easley whiffs.

Tatis at the plate. I love his use of the Superman theme as his hitting music.

Tatis with the line shot into the corner, Wright scores, Beltran comes around and scores from first.

too much for a May win.

So how are those tattoos help your pitching Miller?

Fernando Tat�s, Jr. (born January 1, 1975 in San Pedro de Macor�s, Dominican Republic) is an infielder in Major League Baseball for the New York Mets. He previously played for the Texas Rangers (1997-1998), St. Louis Cardinals (1998-2000), Montreal Expos (2001-2003) and Baltimore Orioles (2006). He bats and throws right-handed.

Mostly remembered as being a "one-year wonder," Tatis enjoyed a career year in 1999 with the St. Louis Cardinals, when he hit 34 home runs with 107 RBI and 21 stolen bases while posting a .298 batting average. On April 23, he became the only major league player in history to hit two grand slams in a single inning; he hit both against the same pitcher, Chan Ho Park of the Los Angeles Dodgers. With this feat, Tatis also set a Major League Baseball record for most RBI (8) in a single inning.

Since then, Tatis struggled with injuries and has never approached the form he displayed that season. He was invited to spring training with Tampa Bay in 2004, but did not make the team. He did not play professional baseball in 2004 or 2005.

Tatis was invited to 2006 spring training by the Baltimore Orioles as a nonroster invitee, and was assigned to their minor league camp on March 28. However, on July 21, he was promoted to the Orioles, after playing the season with the team's Triple-A affiliate, the Ottawa Lynx.

On July 27, 2006, he started for the Orioles at third base against Kansas City. It was his first major league start since June 15, 2003. Tatis went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs in his return.

In February 2007, Fernando was a non-roster invitee to the Los Angeles Dodgers spring training camp. On March 11, 2007 he was asked to report to (AAA) Las Vegas. At the request of Tatis, the Dodgers subsequently released him. [1] On March 23, 2007 he signed a minor league contract with the New York Mets. In 2007-08, he was with the New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA). In joining the Zephyrs, he became teammates with Park, the pitcher against whom he enjoyed the highlight of his career.

Tatis made a return to the major leagues with the Mets in May 2008.

Nah. I think they'll be glad the Mets are getting fired up and showing heart and guts and cliches.
