I thought Elster was going for something else there, actually, but I didn't know how to post it without making Val look silly. Let's try that again.

METS!

Meet the Mets

Step right up and greet the Mets

Mark Grace is a clich� spewing machine , not as annoying as he usually is though , thanks Howie.

[HahnSolo]

Howie's right. Santana does not appear sharp. But no runs yet. No score as we go bottom 3

[Frayed Knot]

He's missing his spots and taking more pitches than you'd like to see.
On the other hand, he is putting up zeros and all three Atlanta hits have been soft bloops.

[HahnSolo]

Tatis has to come in and make a play on that foul ball. Seems too tentative with Reyes coming back on it.

[HahnSolo]

And with new life, Kotchman singles. oy.

[Guest themetfairy]

OK - Atlanta didn't score.

It's time for the Mets to put up some crooked numbers!

[HahnSolo]

3 singles and a walk make it 1-0. bases loaded noboby out in the 4th with the Schnied up.

[HahnSolo]

Run scores on a Schnieder DP. 2-0.

Meanwhile Jason Kendall drives home 2 for the Brew Crew.

[DocTee]

Bases juiced with none away and we only plate two-- could be haunting.

[metsmarathon]

mark grace really is not pleasing to the ears. how the hell do they go about hiring awful, awful announcers like him?

i mean, there's gotta be better guys out there than this, just hoping for a job, right?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

How did Easley just "ground to the catcher" as gametracker called it?

[bmfc1]

MGIM-5-2-3 DP. Ugh.

[Frayed Knot]

Brent Lillibridge.
It sounds like the place that Lil' trolls live under.

Damn, could have used some runs there.

[bmfc1]

When Church went back for that fly ball, he looked behind him--I wonder if he thought of the ball he missed against Florida.

I think Grace had the rep as a player of being "colorful", maybe because he was often going out with some good-looking babes.
I think network execs look at that kind of stuff and say; "Hey, this guy would be great on TV"

That said, while he's certainly not Mr. Excitement out there, he hasn't said anything particularly dopey today ... at least not yet.

[Frayed Knot]

Not Johan's best day, but I'm not going to argue with 7 inning shutouts.

Schoeneweis is the first lefty out of the pen. Usually that's Feliciano's spot but he hasn't exactly shown that he deserves to keep it.

[bmfc1]

According to the advertisers for FOX baseball, their viewer is a man, who has ED, prostate problems, and heartburn.

[HahnSolo]

2 on nobody out, and here comes Shoew.

[HahnSolo]

BAgs drunk now thanks to a Kotchman single. Stokes coming to face Francoeur.

[HahnSolo]

And we are tied. Ug.
