Good to see that Reyes is healthy enough to play.

I see that Castillo is sitting. Is it his turn to rest, or is it because he was banged up late in the game last night?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I am officially designating this as a Big Game.

Series against a good team on the line.

Have to see how Reyes responds to his dressing down. And whether Manuel can bring these guys back to life after a draining day yesterday.

Finally, I suppose it will be inconclusive overall but it won't stop the Mediots from viewing Ollie's performance tonight as a review of The Jacket's influence, so perception -- Omar's new favorite word -- is also on the line.

[Fman99]

PLAY BALL!

[Fman99]

I can get more in on the IGTs on these West coast games as the kids are all in bed now. Usually it's the 7th/8th inning before my son goes upstairs.

[Fman99]

Wright with the early RBI grounder after Reyes goes 1st to 3rd on a SB/E by the catcher.

[Fman99]

Did all of the Mets fans go to bed?

[metirish]

Here for now , did Manuel say that he would rest players on the road when he felt they needed it?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm nearby.

[Fman99]

Base knock for Endy with 2 out in the 2nd. Castro at the dish.

[Fman99]

Castro flies out. On to the bottom of the 2nd.

[Fman99]

Commercials beaten to death by SNY that I hate:

Ones for used BMWs
Stupid Guiseppe Whatshisnuts
Fucking Ford commercials staring fucking Captain Intangibles

Commercials beaten to death by SNY that I like:

Anything with the "Little Bit of Luck" guy

[Fman99]

Reyes legs out a triple off the wall. He's running hard right out of the box.

Didn't go hard for the get go and turned it on between first and second.

[Guest themetfairy]

I wish they'd stop showing the FiOS ads. Especially since I'm still stuck with fucking Comcast for now.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dig the Little Bit of Luck guy.

Carlos says; 'Excuse me while I KABOOM'

delgado is tired of the cpf trade talk about richie sexson

[Frayed Knot]

Trivia question = Mo Vaughn?

(only player to appear in 200+ games for both Mets and Angels)

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Did Vaughn actually appear in 200 games for the Mets? It seems like he spent the majority of his time in New York on the DL.

[Frayed Knot]

Nope, only 166.

FK is correct.

[Guest AG/DC]

Tim Foli.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Metfairy - "FK is correct."

Actually, Knot was the one that guessed Mo Vaughn. I questioned that his health prevented him from playing in enough games as a Met.

Personally, my thought was possibly Jim Fregosi. I think AG/DC likely nailed it with Tim Foli.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah it's Foli - barely on both accounts.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Cmon Wright.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We're in a little bit of trouble here.

[Frayed Knot]

No, we're in a lot of trouble here.
