Shouldn't Kapler be teaching an SAT course or something?

whew!

...jeez!

Ayala strikes out Weeks to end it! (with a dropped 3rd strike of course, this is the Mets after all)

[bmfc1]

YES!!! Good night folks.

[Frayed Knot]

7 scoreless innings out of the pen.
Who cares that it took them 46 pitchers to do it?

[Gwreck]

I think Wright gets tomorrow off. He needs it.

[Guest AG/DC]

Just how I wrote it up.

(In my pants!)

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew!

I bet he doesn't.
Days off Thursday and Monday ... we're in a pennant race here.

You know, I forgot about that Thursday off. Still, I wonder about a 2-day rest being good for him.

[nymr83]

2 out of 4 is good enough. i'm not resting any regulars with a penant race and 2 days off this coming week.

So what did we think of Niese?

Obviously the box score line doesn't look too good. But I saw some flashes of talent and moxie. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him, although perhaps not as a starting pitcher again this season.

My daughter, though, hates Niese's nose. It was all she could talk about every time he was on screen. It didn't look like either of his parents had that nose, so I guess he was the victim of a bad genetic cocktail.
