That's Murphy in LF obviously if Castillo is back in.
You gave me a scare for a minute when I first saw 2B next to his name.

[bmfc1]

FK: Thanks. I fixed the LoHud Mets Blog's error... perhaps the reporter was thinking of Murphy's assignment to the Arizona Fall League where he will play 2B.

[HahnSolo]

I am really getting a "good things happen when he's coming up vibe" with Murphy.

[HahnSolo]

Murph, Wright, and Delgado with singles in the 1st. 1-0, only one out.

Yeah, a definite Keith Hernandez feeling.

[soupcan]

Grand Salami Ryan Church!

5-0 Mets.

[bmfc1]

WOW!!!

[HahnSolo]

A GRAAAAAAND SLAAAAM!

[soupcan]

Schneider back-to-backs 'em!

6-0 Good Guys!

OE: Not b2b. Castillo inserted an out before Schneider popped his.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Crap crap crap miss a few minutes and you miss a lot.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Holy crap, I check in for the first time just a few minutes after the game starts, and I see the Mets put up a 5 in the top of the first! (And still going...)

[Methead]

Excellent.

Excellent indeed.

[soupcan]

Ollie flies out. To the bottom of the 1st.

[Frayed Knot]

Call me a cock-eyed optimist but I'll take that first inning every time.

[Guest AG/DC]

Know what's kinda kool?

When your pitcher bats before he pitches.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Well now we have to hold the lead for 9 innings.

[Benjamin Grimm]

In Milwaukee, Dave Bush's approval ratings are lower than George's right now.

[Centerfield]

Great. Everyone knows we lose these games where we score first and then go to sleep the rest of the game. This sucks.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Perez has already given up a leadoff walk. No cause for alarm, but hanging up a zero here is much better than a 1 or a 2.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And now a single.

[soupcan]

Ollie walks Weeks, Hardy singles.

2 on none out for Kapler.

[soupcan]

Kapler flies to right. 1 dead.

[soupcan]

Inning over no damage.

Still 6-0

[soupcan]

JReyes leads off the 2nd with his 18th triple of the year.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's pound Bush all day long, then "get into the bullpen" if you know what I mean.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wright's up with one out and a runner on third.

It would be nice to see him get this run home. He hasn't been doing that much lately.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And he doesn't do it this time either. Pop up to first.

Sheesh.

[soupcan]

And JReyes is left stranded on third. Oof.

[Centerfield]

Reyes stranded. I liked the first inning better.
