IGT - 8/12 - Mets (Santana) vs. Nationals (Perez)

[Centerfield]

Time for the Mets to get the bad taste out of their mouths after having blown the lead, then me, then Vic. Blech.

The good news is that the Phils lost last night so no ground was lost. And we're playing the last-place Nationals, and we always beat the last place Nationals.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

As relayed in the Snooze today with lefty Odalis Perez going for the Nats, look for Castro to start or else reside deeper in Manuel's doghouse.

Apparently, the medical staff doesn't think Castro's ankle is bad enough to warrant the disabled list, but Castro tells Jerry he's unable to go, and Jerry tells the media that Castro's a pussy.

Delgado knocks in Evans and Beltran...2 - 0 Mets.

[Guest AG/DC]

Keep it coming.

[metirish]

Keith complaining about being up in the rafters of National Stadium , Zimmerman gets the Nats on the board , 2 - 1 Mets.

[Guest AG/DC]

Three hits in a row. That happens once a month for Washington.

[metirish]

Tied ball game.....they are slapping Santana around.

Gary took a shot at Castro tonight when giving the line up....." Castro feeling better after Cancel hit a home run yesterday"..

[seawolf17]

I love it when Keith gets all highfalutin and starts referencing Verdi.

[Frayed Knot]

Verdi and Custer referemces in the same game.

[seawolf17]

That was a great fuckin' play by Willie Harris.

Didn't he make a great play against us in another game recently? Maybe as a Brave?

[Guest AG/DC]

Yup, as a Brave.

Couldn't catch that liner by Beltran, though.

Nice recovery rally, Mets.

[Frayed Knot]

Would have been a monster inning if not for that catch.
Of course the fact that Reyes was on in the first place was a bit of a gift.

[Guest AG/DC]

Infield hits by Reyes are the type of luck that's the residue of design.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Is Johan not too sharp tonight? I see he hasn't walked anybody, but the hits seem high.

[Guest AG/DC]

Well, he just walked Belliard. But then he avenged Harris by getting him to ground into a double play.

Santana doesn't necessarily need his best stuff. He's like Billy Mitchell. He always has a plan.

[nymr83]

Castro shows why he's in the dog house

[apmorris]

Hey guys, checkin' in.

[seawolf17]

Do we need the fucking Edge commercial twice in the same break, SNY?

[Guest AG/DC]

Hey, Governor Morris.

Santana hanging in there.

[metirish]

Game tied , I blame Buckhardt , every time he's on something happens.

[seawolf17]

Fucking hell. At least he can't blame Heilman for this one.

(Yet.)

[metirish]

Gary gives some not so good sounding stats that basically tell us that this team sucks after the first inning.

[Guest AG/DC]

I blame the team. Can't be scoring three runs against this staff and expect Santanta to carry you home.

Twenty five players to win.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Something happening here! Two on and none out. C'mon Carlos, push at least one across!
