[Farmer Ted]

Randall Tex Cobb in right for the brewers.

[Frayed Knot]

Reasonable lineup.

- Reward the bench guy off his big moment while not really hurting the defense w/fly ball Johan out there
- Reward Castillo for hitting well lately (11 of his last 21) by moving him up
- and now suddenly 7-9 looks a lot more formidable

Rumor had it that Tatis was going to [u:ba6886abfd]get a start at 2B[/u:ba6886abfd] today but this isn't the time for taking Luis out even though we do have to get Fernando some ABs soon.

Figgy looks to start Sunday with O'Day being the roster move casualty , none of that is official per Burkhardt.

Randall Tex Cobb in right for the brewers.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I was all set to watch, but then I remembered the Saturday afternoon blackouts.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Delgado up with two runners on base. I sense something good might happen.

[Guest Kong76]

It's on SNY in NY.

Well, yeah, but that doesn't do me any good!

[Guest Kong76]

Yeah, I meant it more out of curiosity ... I don't understand the rules.

]- C. Delgado struck out swinging - C. Beltran struck out swinging

The something good was for the Brewers, unfortunately.

Whichever network has the Saturday Game of the Week (Fox?) has exclusivity to any games that start before 7 p.m. But I don't understand why SNY can carry it in New York but Extra Innings has to black it out in other markets.

I also don't understand why Cooby's Amish zip code is considered Mets territory. There's a lot of irrationality in the formula, it seems.

Noticed during the telecast last night a guy shouting curses , could be heard over the guys in the booth talking. I read last week how right below the the tv/radio booths are paying costumers . Anyone else hear this?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'd rather see the costumers than hear them. What kind of costumes were they wearing?

[Theoldmole]

The hair stood up on Alyssa's neck when she saw the rotunda.

[Guest Edgy DC]

For posterity's sake, Wright had himself an excellent diving snag.

J.J. Hardy learns that the center field at Shea II eats visitor homers also.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That graphic they just showed was aligned improperly. The Cififield OF distances appeared under Shea and vice-versa.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I notice that also. Bill Webb takes one day off and everything goes to Hell.

I also notice that I can't hear the players' songs when they're introducted.

[Guest Kong76]

Uh, ya think they can GET A COUPLE OF FREAKIN' runs sometime soon?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Halfway and scoreless.

HIT!

[Guest Kong76]

It's just maddening.

(to me, at least)

[Frayed Knot]

It's the weekly, 'Johan is pitching so we can take the day off' theory of hitting.
If the boy ever got run support I don't know if he'd know what to do with it.

[Guest Kong76]

Uh, ya think they can GET A COUPLE OF FREAKIN' runs sometime soon?

Santana's likely departing, would be nice to (see above) this inning.

[Guest Kong76]

Santana leaves with a 0.46 ERA ... 0.46.

[Frayed Knot]

Charlie Newtown (aka: Carlos Villanueva) relieves Gallardo

[Guest Edgy DC]

Now this (first and third, no outs) is looking like an opportunity.

[Guest Edgy DC]

About time.

That sure looked like a doubleplay in the making.

[Theoldmole]

I actually predicted Castillo would do the job this year.

[Guest Kong76]

Gotta dig Putz thus far.
