[bmfc1]

Adam Rubin has the lineup for the good guys:

Reyes, ss
Castillo, 2b
Wright, 3b
Beltran, cf
Delgado, 1b
Church, rf
Chavez, lf
Schneider, c
Perez, lhp

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yay Church

[Guest KC]

Damon lf
Jeter ss
Rodriguez 3b
Posada 1b
Betemit 2b
Cabrera cf
Molina c
Christian rf
Rasner p

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The bottom 5 of that MFY lineup indicates we oughta win this one.

[Frayed Knot]

This is the TBS game of the week for you non-NYers

Girardi loading up on the righties against Ollie - Abreu, Cano & Giambi are sitting with Damon as the only LH starter.
Gives them a lot of bench for later on.

Be nice to smack Rasner around and make all that meaningless

[Zvon]

Im hoping for a "GAH!" free game.

[Zvon]

Pinstripes with black caps?
FIRE THE GUY WHO DRESSES EM!

[Zvon]

Man, Wrights just missing quite a few this series.
Another to the wall.

Lets get Reyes home.

[bmfc1]

Boy does Castillo suck. Good thing this is his walk year. Oh yeah.

[bmfc1]

Meanwhile, Moron Chip Carey, spawn of Moron Skip Carey, is doing play-by-play for TBS. He called the pitching mound "the bump." What, there aren't enough cliches and slang terms in baseball, he has to make up his own?

[Zvon]

Another wasted opportunity.

Lowlight: Castillo looking for a ball and gets rung up on a pitch off the outside corner.

[Zvon]

Wow.
I know this is Perez and this could change at any time, but he is throwing some excellent pitches these first two innings.
Im talkin WICKED.

[Zvon]

[Zvon]

YEA!

Castillo slaps one home.

[Zvon]

Guess I'll take the one run.
Better than none.

1-0 Mets after two.

[Zvon]

Wow.
Perez with 5 Ks thru 3.

I'd have to say the little changes to his windup have made a difference.
*crosses fingers

[Zvon]

DELGADO!

[Zvon]

lol.
Delgado's shot broke the scoreboard.

2-0 Mets after 3 complete.

[Guest themetfairy]

So much for the perfecto

[Zvon]

Jeter gets the Skanks first hit.
Most GAH! worthy.


GAH!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

classic showdown vs gayrod here.

[bmfc1]

Wow! Way to go Ollie!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fantastic whiff. Wow.

That was!
YEA!

Once Perez got focused there, from the stretch, he went bulldog on A-Rod.

[Zvon]

I've been up in that scoreboard Gary, and as far as I know that ladder is the only way up. Course this was way before they had that skyline up there.

[stevejrogers]

That works.

Not watching the action, how is the rain at this point?

[Zvon]

Interesting advice from Warthen to Perez in regards to his release point.
Because trying to be conscious of that during your delivery must be distracting.


Perez getting slapped around a lil bit here in the 6th.
Lil bit.

He gets Jeter to hit into the force to end the 6th and its 2-0 Mets.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We let Rasner off way too easy.

Was kinda heavy for a spell but I think it's let up.
