I do believe this is Molina's first appearance at Shea since he had his last name surgically enhanced. He was hurt during the June series and the September makeup last year.

Under Randolph, we'd get the same crappy fixture of a player institutionalized in the #2 hole. Manuel likes for his entire stable of crappy hitters to share the #2 hole. I'm still tolerating this tactic of Manuel's, (especially with today's collection of starters) because of the Mets injury situation, but in general, it's starting to annoy me.

Today is today and I like Chavez in the two slot if he's playing today.

Randolph ... get over it hidey pants.

Working pretty good for me so far.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

If you told me a month ago that Beltran and Delgado would have nearly identical offensive stats, I would not have believed you.

Schneider = out machine. Where's Fluff Castro?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Decent at-bay by Pelfrey. Sets up Jose to lead off the next inning. Kudos to the other Reyes for getting on.

I'm hoping this will change when Church is healthy and we have less crappy hitters forced into service.

Braves take a 1-0 lead over the Phils in the 4th on a Brian McCann solo shot.

[Guest themetfairy]

Hey! Endy didn't get thrown out at home this time!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Jose tri-booms! Drives in two!!!!

[Guest themetfairy]

3-0 Mets thanks to JReyes' 2-RBI Triple in the 4th.

[Guest themetfairy]

Vamos Carlos! A 2-run Ka-Boom gives the Mets a 5-0 lead!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is pretty much how to win a series. Knock the crud out of the starter in Game 1.

[Guest themetfairy]

An RBI for AReyes! 6-0 Mets.

The hits just keep on coming.

[Guest themetfairy]

Pelfrey's done after seven.

OK - let's get some insurance runs!

[Guest KC]

Big Pelf looks to be done after seven as he and Manuel give man hugs.

Feeling good about the Mets.

[Guest KC]

A!Rey!

[Guest themetfairy]

Yea AReyes!

7-1 Mets on the rookie's first major league homer

[Guest holychicken]

Of course they talk about Castillo coming back RIGHT before that. I almost forgot that he was a Met. . . wishful non-thinking. .

[Zvon]

Gonna have to get that other Reyes a graphic.
Wish I could see this game.

Got Phils game on but I'm not really watching it.
I will hear when something happens there tho, and report.

Still 1-0 Braves

[Guest holychicken]

Oh baby! sweet play by Wright

[Theoldmole]

Pujols strikes out again!

LMAO! I was definitely thinking "I doubt Zvon has an image for THAT."

[Guest AG/DC]

I hope they recovered the ball for him.

Meanwhile, great game by ND.

[Zvon]

6-0 Braves over Phils, Lidge just gave up a 9th inning granny to Brian McCann.

[Guest AG/DC]

Bloody excellent.

Brett Myers, team leader.

[Guest themetfairy]

Bloody Hell Duaner - throw some fucking strikes!
