Let's Go Mets!

[Guest KC]

Nice interview with Chipper in the pre-game. I think he secretly wishes he
was a Met playing at Shea for a good part of his career instead of Atlanta.

And hot crap if we couldn't have used him for some of those years.

[Elster88]

I still don't like him.

[TransMonk]

I saw the interview and thought it was interesting too.

Kinda backhandedly threw Atlanta fans under the bus.

Still, It's hard for me to feel sorry for him while his team is not winning after all of those division championships.

After all these years, I don't hate Chipper as much as I used to, though.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

He could have been helpful in LF this season. Now excuse me, but I have to go take a shower. I feel dirty for coveting Larry.

[Elster88]

Unless you scrub like Ace Ventura did I doubt you'll feel better.

[Guest KC]

I would really like to meet Elster88 at Shea before she closes.

Note to self: start final regular season last game tailgate party thread soon.

[Elster88]

I've yet to meet any CPFers. Maybe that's good for my own safety.

If not at Shea than at City Field or the CPF picnic.

[Guest AG/DC]

Quick. Somebody set McDowell's foot on fire.

[Elster88]

To quote CookieMom (though she said it for David Wright).

I love that boy.

[Guest AG/DC]

Thanks to you, too, Chipper.

[TransMonk]

I think the Braves are already in the off-season this inning.

[Guest AG/DC]

Man, Norton had all day to go up and get that ball.

Where is she these days?

[TransMonk]

A 2 out, 5 run rally will always make me smile.

[Guest AG/DC]

Two tricky catches make me smile too. They're playing some baseball tonight.

Catch Gary's Beatle reference?

[Guest AG/DC]

Fun that MLB.com has Ken Griffey telling me where to buy muy Cincinnati Reds gear.

[Guest AG/DC]

Tell me that Omar sounds stupid here.

[Guest KC]

E88: I've yet to meet any CPFers. Maybe that's good for my own safety<<<

Yes, we're a scary bunch. Axe murderers the whole lot of us.

[Guest KC]

AG: Tell me that Omar sounds stupid here.

�Por qu�?

[TransMonk]

I walked away for 5 minutes. I come back and the Mets have added a run.

No mention of D Wrights KABOOM anywhere here. I had to look up the boxscore.

Tsk.

Impressive shot. Went down and got a low inside delivery and whacked it into the picnic seats.

Meantime, Pelf gets a big (run-scoring) DP

[metirish]

Meanwhile things are not going so smoothly right now.

[TransMonk]

Wild pitch makes it 6-3, but Pelf out of the inning.

Thanks, for the recap, JCL.

[Guest KC]

Shower some love on Big Pelf.

[TransMonk]

Pelfrey 96 pitches through 8.

Who gets the ninth?

[metirish]

Pelfrey I think.

[Guest KC]

Gotta run Pelf out, unless the Mets run a six run long inning or something.

[TransMonk]

Pelf it is...with no one warming.

[Guest AG/DC]

Most thrilling at-bat of Chipper's Shea career right there.
