Schneid gets off the shnide with a single. LET'S GO METS!

[Guest AG/DC]

Castro warming in the pen?

[Fman99]

And the fun continues...

I wasn't going to say anything about it. But you must have heard me thinking loudly....

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

On the bright side, if we can get through this inning, we have the top of the order up.

Anybodies want to explain Vargas?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He's this year's Jorge Sosa.

I meant you, by 'someone'

[Fman99]

Ruh roh. Feels like yesterday.

Aguila was a 3rd round draft pick of the Marlins in 1997, 6 picks after the Mets drafted Cesar Crespo.
Crespo never played for the Mets but did have 250 or so ABs of sub-Medoza line hitting for the Pads and BoSox.
Hasn't been seen since '04

i think the only ones left in the pen are Schoenweis, who has been terrible especially lately, and Smith.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

YES! Nice DP.

[Fman99]

HUGE 5-4-3!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Here we go! Top of the order. I say Reyes will come around to score on a Wright rbi.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Give love. And keep blood between brothers.

Sanchez too.

All I think are as rested as Vargas or moreso, particularly Schoeneweis.

Basic bullpen principles:

1) Your releivers should get gradually better as you approach the ninth, gradually worse as you proceed past the ninth into extra innings.

2) Your releivers should tend to get gradually less durable as you approach the ninth, gradually more durable as you proceed past the ninth into extra iinnings.

Santana is probably home and not available for pinch-running.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

JC, what number is our newest Met wearing?

Sanchez, but he falls into the Scho category.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

]JC, what number is our newest Met wearing?

He's a son of John DeMerit

I want him available for pitching.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Come on Slappy, we need a baserunner.

Some nice names on that family tree...mostly pitchers, though.

Now, let's make that error hurt!

[Frayed Knot]

David is seeing a lot of pitches ... one of these times

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It falls to Beltran to try to deliver victory for the Mets.

[Guest KC]

The tension is maddening.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

YAY!!!!!

[Fman99]

WOO HOO!
