Jerry puts Murphy back on the horse, trying to build up the kid's cahn-fidence.

[Farmer Ted]

I want more Santos.

[metirish]

It doesn't mean much but after listening to Razor talk before the game I feel like Murphy will be OK and so will the Mets.

LETS

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Nice running catch against the wall by Duncan, that son of a pitching coach.

Oh yeah, I'm borrowing that one.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Sorry, Irish.

GO

[metsmarathon]

damnit! how many more times are we going to line into double plays with the runner(s) in motion?

[metsmarathon]

METS!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Murphy smacks a single up the middle to tie it up. 1-1, middle 3rd.

Did he navigate his way to first base ok?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

That he did. I think Reyes held on second so Murphy wouldn't get any ideas.

[Fman99]

I'd like to see Castro block the plate more, like whats-his-nuts does for St. Louis.

RBI FC, 3-1 Cards. Lame.

[Guest Number 6]

I hat Ankiel's moustache.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

You don't deserve to get out of an inning unscathed when you start it by walking the pitcher. And he got scathed.

Especially with, say, the pitcher coming at you. For Chrissakes, Ramon. He's not going to hit you. Stop being such a candyass.

[Guest Number 6]

Single for the candyass.

[Fman99]

I liked our chances with Castillo up there and he hit it hard, but right at the guy. And so it goes.

[Fman99]

Boo

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Maine sucks.

[Fman99]

Boo again.

I'm beginning to think that the key to scoring runs is getting hits when there's a guy on 3rd base. But what the hell do I know.

Now where is my gin?

[Fman99]

Oh, I do enjoy the latest "don't smoke" commercial on SNY. A woman with a bunch of nubby fingers due to poor circulation. It's kind of hot, actually. I also have a hankering for Jimmy Dean breakfast sausages.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

How hard is it for the Mets staff to learn that walks kill? Maine apparently didn't pay attention during lastnight's debacle. He has walked 4 hitters in his 4 innings of work and each of them has come around to score. Throw some strikes. Hell, if you feel so inclined to walk people, walk Pujols rather than the hitters in front of him.

[Fman99]

Enjoyed Kevin Burkhart's testimony on how much better Busch stadium is than Citi Field. Then they showed Ozzie's walk off postseason dinger.

What the fuck? Why are they doing this to me?

[Fman99]

Hey Doc, you got any breakfast sausages?

[Fman99]

Hey, a 1-2-3 inning. For us!

Let's Go Mets! Get some runs back! Optimism!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Damn it Fman, now you've made me hungry.

Yeah, I'm very excited too.

[Fman99]

Johan says, "Take the Train to the Game!"

They should mention the Citi Field parking fee. What is it now, $18?

C'mon over, Doc! I'll make you an omelette.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Think Santana can pitch every other game?
