What a clusterfuck.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

It's just a 4-run hole, it's still good, it's still good.

It's just the 6th inning, it's still good, it's still good.

[metirish]

Janish is pronounced Yonish if anyone cares.....I don't ...

[TransMonk]

Church = doubles machine.

Gotta get at least one here.

Be aware that the radio stream I found is a bit delayed. May want to hold off until after an at-bat finishes up to refresh the thread, lest there be spoilers or apparent acts of prophesy.

[TransMonk]

I called it after it happened

Sac fly plates one as the bottom of the order manufactures a run out of a leadoff double.

[TransMonk]

Oh, Ollie!

Final line: 4.1 IP, 5 H, 8 ER, 5 BB, 7 K

Blech!

Oh well you're a dick then....joking of course....

[Frayed Knot]

Stokes gets through a scoreless 6th w/only a Votto single keeping it from being perfect.

Top o' the order coming up.

[TransMonk]

Stokes works around a Votto (surprise, suprise) hit.

Hey, top 'o the order: runs please!

[Centerfield]

I completely forgot that Brian Stokes existed. I remember thinking this winter that he could be really useful this year. Let's hope.

Delgado coming to bat as the tying run.

[Frayed Knot]

Dusty gets Rhodes up (see what I did there?) to face Delgado.

[bmfc1]

Nicely done FK.

I was surprised that Dusty Baker knew how to do a double-switch.

[apmorris]

8-6

[TransMonk]

Chipping away. Would like to feel more secure about tying the game.

[Centerfield]

Beltran coming up as the tying run.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Chipping away. One big hit would be, well, big.

edit: Whoa, hivemind.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The relentless Met picket fence.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Someone get Encarnacion some pine tar. I wouldn't be happy if he pegged Wright, but I'd be pretty thrilled if he put the lumber in Angel Hernandez's teeth.

Game of inches.

The Mets are down three runs going in to the seventh inning, based on your gut feeling, will they come back to win ...

On an unrelated note, Chico Harlan chatted today:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2009/04/08/DI2009040801357.html

He didn't answer any questions or comments about his infamous statement that he hated sports. I know that he received at least one.

[HahnSolo]

Two scoreless innings from Stokes. Keeping us in the damn thing.

[nymr83]

Stokes getting it done!

and the Mets clawing back 1 run at a time, they'll need 2 more with 2 to play

[TransMonk]

I'm stoked by Stokes' two scoreless.

A three run 8th would be awesome.

[Centerfield]

I don't agree with Tatis for Church here.

[Frayed Knot]

Tatis PH-ing for Church against Rhodes ... and promptly Ks

[Guest Edgy DC]

Does Cora get to bat? Does Castro get to run if he gets on? Who is the pinch-hitter that gets the big spot --- Anderson or Sheffield?

(Answer for now: lean toward Sheffield against lefties and for power; lean towards Anderson for on-basey-times and against righties.)

[HahnSolo]

Interesting for:

- PH'ing for Church at all, considering how hot he is.

- Tatis over Sheff, for whatever that is worth.
