[Guest Swan Swan H]

A walk, two singles and a double (in that order) lead to just one run, no thanks to a pickoff of Murphy and the slow-footed Delgado. Second and third, two out for Church.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Church hits a little squirt at the third baseman and that's that.

The broadcast quality is horrible. The sound is sort of pulsating, and the picture has frozen a few times. I feel like I'm on a submarine.

I automatically blame Cablevision. They suck, you know.

[Willets Point]

Swany - aka gf212121 - it's great to see you after all these years.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

It can't be years - weeks at most. But thanks, and thanks to everyone else who has offered greetings, as well as to the folks who kept poking me to dip a toe back in.

Way more importantly, Castillo rips a triple down the RF line. Paddy Power has him in the early line as 3-5 for Comeback Player of the Year.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Wellemeyer (which must be German for What the Hell?) walks Perez, then Jose flips one over Greene's head. After five hits and two walks it's 2-0.

[Guest Kong76]

S S H is gf2121 and Willets is back?

Where was I?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Last I saw, on a walkway at Citi Field surrounded by folding tables.

I'm with Swanie , the sound is rubbish . Not a bad thing if it were YES I suppose.

[Fman99]

TREMENDOUS!

[Fman99]

Great sliding catch in foul ground by the Gold Glove Mets 3B. Can of corn and it's two outs, bottom 2nd.

[Fman99]

Holy shit! It's a two out rally and a hit with a RISP. I just choked on my Pop Tart here.

All started with the two out single by Ollie. Wright with a chance to blow it open. Which would be nice.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Greene doesn't make the play on a Perez grounder, then Jose and Murff single for one more run. Wright, who was frozen like Walt Disney last time up, with a chance to pile on here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's nice to se Khalil Greene opening that inning with the kind of unsteady defense he gave to San Diego.

Murph has more wheels than I would have thought. Too bad he needs to go back to sliding school.

Seriously. Looked like me trying not to step in dog poop while mowing the yard. But a 4-0 lead is nice. Jeez, it's been a week since we had that kind of lead!

A little adventurous by Dale Sveum Razor Shines at third base, there, no? That wasn't even close. Why not hold him with the middle of the order coming up? Hmm.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Molina, stop adjusting your crotch.

Hey, Duncan, stop dressing like a hobbit.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Greene walks on four pitches by saying, "Hey, Ollie --- let's party!"

[Fman99]

Wow. Ollie strikes out Thurston with the bases loaded and two outs. And he's halfway to first before the ump rings him up. Close call!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Ollie walks Khalil, but the Cards can't Prophet as Thurston fans looking. Still 4-0 Metsies.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pujols = really good player.

[Fman99]

Ankiel rockin the porno moustache.

"Honey, the A/C repairman is here."

"Why is he taking his pants off?"

"Oh, yeah..." cue disco music.

[Fman99]

Eh. Poo holes lines one into the corner and it's 4-2.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Casey Fossum wearing 47 in the pen.

[Willets Point]

Cripes! Yadier F. Molina with a runner in scoring position.

[Fman99]

Ollie gone all ca ca poo poo on the strike zone, trying to get thru the 5th and hand it over to the new guy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Molina adjusting his nutsack again. He's grosser than Wright.

My dad would always say the same thing. "That guy's a real ballplayer." Still funny.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Where's Ray Walston when you need him?

[Fman99]

Ugh. Ollie can't do it twice, this time walks in a run. Hook for him, Casey Fossum in.
