Poor Poor Pitiful Me.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Great song. We win tonight...guaranteed.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

See? 5-1 already

[nymr83]

5-1 Mets in the 2nd inning, Alou is back and has already driven in two. The Mets are battering Valadius' favorite pitcher.

[metirish]

I always get the feeling that the booth guys are intimidated by Seaver and in awe of him.


Tom looks great.

[nymr83]

they should be in awe of him.

[bmfc1]

Alou is amazing. He hasn't played for 2 weeks, didn't have a rehab game, and he swings at the first pitch to drive in 2.

And then swung at the first pitch he saw in his 2nd AB and hit another one right on the screws (line out to SS)

Couple good signs so far:
- Castillo on base 3 times
- Delgado hustling into 2nd base, setting up a run w/2 outs
- all 2-out RBIs

Not so good:
- Maine's pitch count
- Reyes's CS ruins what could have been an even better 1st inning

Is that Moises Alou? Is he on this team?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Schneid makes a big 2nd out here in the 5th.

Tonight's game reminded me I traded Maine and Anderson Hernandez for Orlando Hudson, Miguel Montero and minor league lefty Craig Pfautz this offseason.

Can we sub out Jim Joyce , he's loud sriiiiiiiiiiike is starting to wear on me.

[Guest KC]

That's music to my ears.

[metirish]

I like it but I have zeroed in on it form the first inning of the game , it's all I hear now.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Augie Ojeda dicks us up the ass again.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Grumble Castillo.......

I got a bad feeling about this. I'd say the pen needs to come through to prove redemption, but the bats are equally needy.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Eh, Castillo is having a fine game. You want him to hit it hard on the ground, that'll happen. I mean, it happens too oftren, but it happens.

I am certain the Mets are afraid it would be an affront to Reyes to bat Castillo first but it would be a good move I think.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm assuming this is a rain delay?

Hmmmm. Tie game. If this doesn't resume tonight, do they restart the game from this point on?

Yes and yes.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Damn this IGT started out really well with the Mets jumping out to a quick 5-1 lead, but it was all down hill from there. It's tied at 5 and the Mets have had only one weak hit since the second inning.

[Guest AG/DC]

Beltan's liners sure know how to find gloves.

[Fman99]

Let's Go Mets!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jeez.

[Fman99]

Well fuck.

[Fman99]

Joe Smith gives up the dinger to some Arizona **** in their stupid bush league uniforms.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It's September all over again.

This is the first time I've said that this year.

Nah. It's nowhere near that dramatic. It's just another Mets summer, like those summers of yore.

Easley on with a single. A rally here would be good.

[Guest AG/DC]

Never hang a slider to Chris Snyder.

[Fman99]

Chalk up another 0 for 2 (Chavez, Marlon) with RISP. Mongo sad.
