Today he wasn't playing high enough.

[Elster88]

No. No. No. Too high. Too high.

[TransMonk]

Sorry, I'm late. Lookin' good so far...I was expecting worse.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Knight apparently pitching to the "Francouer Strike Zone" this inning.

[Guest mario25]

Church needs a night off.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I've been at class all night, and I confess I was a little worried jumping in to check the score.

Phew!!!

Good job, guys!

[Theoldmole]

Anderson should get the RBI, because it wasn't a force-out double play.

Will 6 runs be enough of a lead for the bullpen?

That should be such a humorous question. I wish I could be confident in saying yes.

On edit: However, the Nats young'ns trying to steal 3rd on ball 4 with 2 outs and getting thrown out helps.

[Elster88]

It's rough when a team is down 6 in the fifth, gets into the bullpen, and thinks "We've got them right where we want them.".

[Guest mario25]

The Mets need to add on.....BADLY

[Guest themetfairy]

If they blow this game then the fucking season is just over!

[Theoldmole]

It's not right to feel so good about Only two runs an inning by the bullpen.

[Theoldmole]

Boomity boom boom

[Guest themetfairy]

Vamos Carlos Beltran!

Carlos says, OK! KABOOM!

[Guest mario25]

Carlos good-Church bad

[Elster88]

Church is bad. Right. Gotcha. Loud and clear.

Agreed.

I think he's still hurt. He's tried giving it a go, but I don't think he's anywhere near 100%.

[HahnSolo]

Instead of Heilman, can we put 10 defensive players out there and let them hit off a tee?

[Elster88]

lol

[Guest holychicken]

It is incredible how a 4 run lead in the 8th is so uncomfortable.

[Theoldmole]

Anybody want to put down Church now?

[TransMonk]

Best defensive rightfielder I can remember in a while.

SAved a run and got an out in a rally there.

[Guest mario25]

He is great in the OF and he has been really good at the plate except this last 2 weeks.

[Guest themetfairy]

I saw him make two superlative catches tonight. He deserves some sips of Schaefer for that.

[Fman99]

Phew.

[Theoldmole]

And Beltran nails the inning down.
