I believe that's the third different position Belliard's started at this series.

I'm surprised to see Murphy batting ahead of Tatis. Is that a left-righty thing?

[Guest themetfairy]

I have a good feeling about Teddy Roosevelt in tonight's Presidents race.

[Guest KC]

The fix is in, watch for the punch to the neck as he waddles to victory!

I'm not sure but I was thinking that if the bullpen's still a problem, and there's no outside fix, then one way to compensate is to make it up on the offense. Working with what ya got, I would play Castro and Easley more often. Let's be honest here. Brutally honest. Schneider sucks. And so does Argenis. And I'm starting to see some silly-Williness here what with Argenis frequently batting second, no less. I guess there's no way around it but that Omar's Mets have to have an automatic out in between the All-Stars Wright and Jose Reyes.

Match the name with an alternate career:

Emilio Bonifacio - Opera Tenor
Ronnie Belliard - WNBA shooting guard
Ryan Zimmerman - Soap Opera Actor
Lastings Milledge - Music Producer
Austin Kearns - Private Eye
Jesus Flores - Dance Instructor
Aaron Boone - Cop
Willie Harris - NFL Wide Receiver
Collin Balester - Partner in an Irish Law Firm

[duan]

Partner in an Irish Law Firm gotta be Austin Kearns

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Oliver feels the rage.

Also, my free online stream is slow so bear with my late comments.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Given the frequency that our players are called on to bunt, you'd think they'd be better at it.

Argenis says "Who you talkin' 'bout?" and leads off with a hit!

Now Schneider says "Who you talkin' 'bout?" and hits a two-run homer!

The heck with bunting, Carlos I gets A-Reyes in to score with Wright to third. Then Carlos II brings him home with a sac fly.

Everything is coming together according to plan!

[metirish]

Scrap that , Teddy lost.I'm certain Gary lied to us.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I sorta agree with the sentiments above regarding The Schneid but its awful nice to see some contributions as long as he's playing.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Schneider says he's no automatic out with a two-run kaboom!!!

[batmagadanleadoff]

Someone showed Schneider my earlier post.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Schneider still sucks.

I knew in Hell you would be forced to watch the Mets on 'gameday'

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew!

I love that boy!

[Guest cooby]

apmorris? You love him?

Notice how Keith always says 'down the pipe' when talking about a pitch down the middle?

Isn't the expression 'down the pike'? Doesn't 'pike'- as in turnpike I guess - make more sense then 'pipe'? What kind of pipe?

[seawolf17]

Some nights, I think he means the crack pipe. I've always thought it was "pipe" too, though, as in a metaphorical pipe leading from the pitchers hand through the center of the strike zone.

...

Hernandez: "Heilman's still an important part of this bullpen."
Ms. Wolf: "Well, someone's gotta give up those runs. They're not going to give up themselves."

[Guest KC]

Freakin' Heilman's gotta run the count full for drama and then a walk.

Belliard ... you're out.

Post the nice old guy with the brooms NOW!!!

[metirish]

That's for Bucket to post....

[Guest KC]

I'm in the down the pipe camp.

I didn't know what a 'pike was until I was old enough to drive to Massachusetts.
