Continuing the streak...

Gangsta J sez Cora and Castro are scheduled for starts.

God bless Ollie. A good start here earns him a short stay from the boobirds.

Ryan Hanigan c

Paul Janish ss

Bronson Arroyo p

[Fman99]

Headphones are on, listening online to Howie and Wayne doing the game on WFAN.

[Fman99]

Arroyo has traditionally done well against the Mets but has had health issues this spring, carpal tunnel syndrome mixed with crappy-pitcher-itis.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Opening the game with a bad-call strikeout, and it seems Bill Welke is trying to take the heat off of his crewmate Angel Hernandez.

[Fman99]

Murph works a single on a full count. The kid's a hitter!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

murph singles to right, wright reaches on an error

[Gwreck]

Nice at-bat by Murphy, getting a single on the 9th pitch of the AB.

[Fman99]

Wow. Another E courtesy of the Cincinatti News Bears and it's 1st/2nd one out instead of the end of the inning.

I think that's his pitch the ninth one , kid works those at bats.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Delgado reaches on force play, Beltran walks so they're loaded for Chuchy

[Fman99]

Bleh. LOB 3.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

force plays for everyone

[Gwreck]

Maybe next time through the order we can get the ball out of the infield fellas.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ollie mows em down with 10 pitches.

All three of 'em!

[TransMonk]

Great first for Ollie...10 pitches.

[Guest themetfairy]

Fingers crossed, it looks like Good Ollie is in the house today. At least he was there for the first inning.

[Fman99]

Wow I missed that entire half-frame doing work stuff. Nice quick work Ollie!

[Fman99]

Is the Reds SS Janish the same guy from Ghostbusters II?

[metirish]

Ollie is throwing strikes ?

[Gwreck]

Struck out the side: nice.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"He is GOOD Ollie. You are like the buzzing of flies to heem!"

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Voltran with a 2-out RBI single, 1-0 good guys

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Church doubles in 2 more!

[Fman99]

Work is crazy today. I got the headphones on just in time for Church's double.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Vat is this... I am drippings with runs!"

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Just getting here.

Delgado still doing the job!

[Guest themetfairy]

And just like that, Bad Ollie is back....
