It's scrub day today with The Schneid and Argenis. You know what else annoys me about Argenis? Now I hafta write J. Reyes instead of just Reyes.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I guess the Mets lineup doesn't matter much today 'cause Santana's gonna throw an incomplete game shutout.

[Zvon]

No 1st inning runs today?
Dagnabbitt!

[TransMonk]

A-Rey and Easy-E with first inning singles.

Carlos and Carlos with first inning strikeouts.

[Zvon]

I guess this would be a good day to give Mr Wright a rest.

OOO, nice play by Jreyes

[Zvon]

Schneider!

[batmagadanleadoff]

Dont'cha just love The Schneid? I know I do.

[bmfc1]

Schneider has doubled his HR count for the season since Wednesday.

[TransMonk]

The Schneid...KABOOM!

2-0 Mets!

[batmagadanleadoff]

The Schneid's off his schneid.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Remember a week or two ago when there were three or four games in a row when they didn't play the "Jeter has an Edge" commercials? I miss that.

[Zvon]

Thats something I didn't expect.
We need guys steppin up like that.

Phils are in a phunk.
Fish have to fend off the Cubbies.

Any distance we can accumulate will be nice.

Gotta love the Schnied!

How can anyone not like him?

[Zvon]

Nice DP by the Bucks on that hit & run.

I'm seeing more Met gear in the stands than Pirate stuff

[Zvon]

YES. Beltran scores from 1st on a 2 out single!

Thats what I like to see!
Hustle.

And yea Keith, Schnied should have taken second on that throw...

batmag - "It's scrub day today with The Schneid and Argenis..."

Schneider with 3 RBI's says, "Scrub this."

[TransMonk]

Argenis is 3 for 3 as well...his BA back up to .284.

He's making the J and A business worth the effort

[Frayed Knot]

Beltran's HR looked the same as his single but about 10 ft higher

[Zvon]

[Guest KC]

Got a freakin' hankering for pierogies. There used to be a frozen brand
that was in one of our supermarkets that nailed how the old ladies at my
heavily eastern European church growing up used to make from scratch.

Hey, it's game content.

I love when Carlos has that sick stroke going.

Well for starters, Schneider sucks. So there's that.

[Elster88]

Am I the only one that starts thinking no-hitter after the first inning?

[Elster88]

="Zvon"]Schneider!

I like this one.

Don't underestimate the value of a well rested catcher


Hey, maybe thats not a Castro prank.
Maybe it's a anti-rally bubble.

[Guest KC]

E88: Am I the only one that starts thinking no-hitter after the first inning?<<<

No. And when I'm at a game and don't feel like keeping a scorecard I always
keep at least the visitors one until the first hit because I think it's finally going
to happen and I want to be able to post a picture of it all over the internet.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Gary Cohen's going on and on about how Argenis is in the middle of everything. Not sure what Gary could mean what with Arsenio on-basing not even .300. Maybe Arugula's in the middle of killing every rally by making outs all the time. Arsenic's pretty damn good at making outs. Maybe that's what Gary meant. What the hell do you all think Gary was talking about?

Looks to me like more Willlie-ball with the practically worst hitter on the team having to bat second. I guess that Wright's gotta come up in the first inning with a better chance than there should be that there's gonna be at least one out already made. Plus Arbuckle's gotta get 40 or 50 more at bats then he ordinarily would by batting 7th or 8th, where he belongs. Is this Omar's idea?

[bmfc1]

="Elster88"] ="Zvon"]Schneider! I like this one.

Me too. I see the ball's expressions as stunned because of who hit it.
