And I hit submit before Reynolds whiffed. Great slider.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Love

[nymr83]

nice job by pelfrey, now the bullpen needs to hold this lead.

[Guest AG/DC]

Mike Pelfrey just became a man.

[metirish]

Obviously Pelfrey took the blueprint with all the seriousness it deserved .

Yes, he popped my cherries.

ew.

[Guest AG/DC]

Aflac asks who the only man besides Reyes is who had 250 steals and 50 triples before he turned 25.

I'm guessing Honus Wagner.

[nymr83]

"pitch-count shmitch-count" say Wayne Hagan and Howie Rose, send Pelfrey out for the 8th!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Would be nice if anyone at the butt end of the lineup could reach base.

[Guest AG/DC]

Pitch counts = good.

Worshipping the number 100 = bad.

Rickey probably had 400 steals already, but not sure about the triples

true dat

[nymr83]

agreed

[nymr83]

Pelfrey K's Upton for the 2nd out of the 8th.

[nymr83]

Flyball to center, it only took him 7 pitches to get through the 8th... does Willie dare allow him to pitch the 9th?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Due to lead off this inning.

I'm guessing Ty Cobb for the AFLAC question. The man put up absolutely sick numbers from the start of his career as an 18 year old until the very end when in his early 40's.

[Guest AG/DC]

Today Willie Randolph became a man.

Cobb.

That was my second guess.

[Guest themetfairy]

Did you see the look on Pelfrey's face when he saw the fans giving him the standing ovation after his at bat? That was a beautiful moment.

Tonight the Shea crowd became a man.

[nymr83]

theres nothing like succeeding in NY

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Very unusual move for Willie to let Pelfrey bat for himself in the eighth. I whole heartedly approve of the move.

Pelfrey has a chance for a post game six pack of Schaefer.

[bmfc1]

I missed the first 7 innings as I was at my son's game (a 14-4 loss). I just want to say that you people have done a fantastic job tonight!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

AG/DC - "Cobb. That was my second guess."

Yay, I finally got something right. It helped that I had read a book about Cobb and Ruth earlier this spring. The numbers the two of them put up are absolutely mind boggling.

[Guest AG/DC]

Hey, would-be basestealers! Stop fucking with my mojo!

[Guest AG/DC]

We have a new Met.
