[HahnSolo]

For all of Gary's talk about how hot Beltran is from the right side, that was one horrendous AB.

Romero threw the same pitch over and over, horrible.

[Guest AG/DC]

I think this has less to do with bullpen management, so much as bullpen performance.

Yes, we entered the 8th and 9th with the ability to match up the way we wanted to. They got their assignments and didn't get it done.

Gotta figure Al Reyes is in uniform tomorrow.

[Elster88]

Could be. But we'll be out of pitchers in the 12th and they only gave up 2 in their first four innings. Ayala's run was fairly cheap. Try to save the long man at least. Pedro only going five doesn't help.

[HahnSolo]

Fernando, I have work tomorrow. Off to be shortly. Make me happy please.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

We're letting their bullpen get through innings on like 15 pitches.

[Centerfield]

Holy fuck we have a baserunner.

Just doing their job.

[Elster88]

Schneider's homer is comiing in the 13th if we can get there.

ooo, kool.

[Centerfield]

I'm telling you...Aaron's getting squeezed by this ump.

[HahnSolo]

Three innings from Heilman may be too much to ask.

did Elster watch the game already, it sure feels like it should be over by now and i'm listening to a recording...

[Elster88]

If we win this game he automatically gets to be a starter.

[Centerfield]

Wait a second, I've seen this episode before. Pujols hits a bomb to LF and the Mets lose.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Tom McCarthy doesn't know where he is, just said 3 times that Aaron Heilman has had a history of troubles "here at Shea Stadium."

[Frayed Knot]

It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute

[HahnSolo]

Ks Utley. One down.

[Centerfield]

Don't pitch to Howard.

[HahnSolo]

And a popup gets Burrell.

What to do about Howard? Warthen to the mound.

You misspelled Molina.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm more scared of Werth than Howard right now.

Yeah, I agree with you (and Ronnie).
Normally I hate to put a winning run on but they can't PR for him and it'll take several hits to score him.

[TransMonk]

17 pages. Really?

Sorry I'm late.

He might be broadcasting from the tennis center.

Well he will swing at anything.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Heilman! Let's go for 20 pages.

[Elster88]

Let Heilman hit.
