[Guest AG/DC]

No way this team wins the division with Hanley batting leadoff. I'll not have it.

Neither will David.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Looks like Wright sure wants to redeem himself for that error the other night!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Carlos KABOOM!!!!!

Ollie is having a good night.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That was a nice job of extracting himself from trouble in the 2nd. A strong effort tonight would really help us guys.

[Guest AG/DC]

That's a big wad of chew Ollies working tonight.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ollie looking pretty nasty.

I gotta say, I was prepared to believe last outing heralded a return to Bad Ollieland for a while.

[Guest AG/DC]

I find it believable that Warthan is a better mentor for him.

[Guest AG/DC]

That inning was a gift.

[seawolf17]

I'm not an Olympics fan, per se, but this opening ceremony is pretty fucking awesome.

[Guest AG/DC]

Baseball, gentlemen.

[Guest AG/DC]

Murphy faces his first lefty, hangs in there, doesn't get cheated, and gets a walk.

[Guest AG/DC]

Pinto stays in to face Wright with the bags juiced?

OK.

[Guest AG/DC]

Turns Wright over on a 2-0 pitch.

We go to the eighth!

And the Mets' pen!

[Guest AG/DC]

Heilman, suddenly the hot hand, on for the eighth. I didn't hear if he got boooooed.

Pirates/Phils scoreless in the eighth. Blanton out of the game.

[Guest AG/DC]

Three up and three down for Aaron. Heart of the Fishie order coming in the ninth.

Stay tuned.

[Guest AG/DC]

Excellent ending.

People who stinko:

1. Boobirds


2. All youse who went out on Friday night and missed this.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Well pitched game both from the Perez and Heilman with 2 strong innings of relief. It's amazing how much better I feel after this win than I did following last nights win.

[bmfc1]

An almost tension-free win. We're not used to those. Way to go Ollie and Aaron!

[seawolf17]

And you're all missing Lithuania's bright green shirts.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I watched it. Also peeking on the opening ceremonies. Those kids dancing/doing karate in the huge circle pretty much put any marching band to shame.

[Guest AG/DC]

And John Grabow gets E. Bruntlett to GDP and we're going to extras in Philadelphia.

[Guest AG/DC]

End of 11 and we're still scoreless. This Beam character has done a good job for two innings for Pittsburgh.

[Guest AG/DC]

Doumit leads off the 12th with a double and crosses to third on Moss groundout to Utley.

[Guest AG/DC]

And Steve Pearce brings him home with another dubble!

[Guest AG/DC]

Rollins makes an excellent stop with two out but the throw wasn't in time and Freddie Sanchez comes up with two out and the bags packed.

[Guest AG/DC]

Another good infield stop by Rollins but again not in time and it's 2-0 and Mienkiewicz up.

Mientiekiewicz?

[Guest AG/DC]

Grounder to third.

Let's finish it, Buccos.

[Gwreck]

Who's closing games now that they traded Marte?

What about those of us who went out to the game?

It was fantastic. Aaron heard it when he came in but everybody shut up pretty quickly.

David really looked as if he was swinging 100% for the fences in the first. But then he succeeded!

I thought Delgado's hit would be caught but that Beltran's would go out.
