OK, we need some heroics.

DWright, I'm looking at you.

[Fman99]

Sheff is up.

[ashie62]

Whatever it is it is..but this team sucks ass...Fire Manuel befores the team gets away from him. It was Manuels's own words last night that the team was nervous.

[Frayed Knot]

Between non-hitting w/RiSP and relievers walking two to start an inning I've got enough to be pissed off at without inventing things.


But now, someone from the 'O' is going to have to be the hero today.

i can't speak for edgy, but thats a statement i'd code-in if we were creatign a computer to manage the mets.

What "O"

Only a little.

If he's not exbhiting signs of fatigue and failure, sure. And Rodriguez being a better bet than most would give the manager more latitude.

But the difference between every start and every start that he's winning by one run is a very broad one.

Him just going eight, besides giving us a better pitcher in the ninth, reduces the bullpen vulnerablity tremendously in the ninth, because then you have both Putz and Rodriguez available, and one can bail the other out in a crisis.

yes**

[Fman99]

Leadoff walk for Sheff. I like it.

No bunting, please, fellas.

[Frayed Knot]

Sheff walks .... run Castillo?

[ashie62]

Sack it up Men

[bmfc1]

Castillo's back must be bad if he's not running here.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Come on, Beltran! Vanis Takee!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Looks like no.

Not Maine even.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

2 walks, and here comes DW.

[Fman99]

Good eye! Two walks, two baserunners, no outs.

C'mon, David. Get yer mojo on.

[nymr83]

Shouldn't Maine or Perez pinch-run here? (assuming Castillo cant of course)

[Frayed Knot]

Lindstrom pulls a Putz

[Guest Edgy DC]

Here, here, I wouldn't blanche at a bunt.

[ashie62]

mr. Wright's chance to shut me up

[bmfc1]

Back-to-back walks to lead off the inning... just like what the Mets gave the Marlins in the 8th. Let's get two runs just like they did!

[TransMonk]

Lindstrom pitches like Putz.

NO WAY we can leave the field this inning with out being at least tied.

[Fman99]

A triple here would be PERFECT.

Not a fan of my starting pitchers being involved in potential plays at the plate.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think David could benefit from a heroic walk-off hit here.

No, Sheff's not that slow.
Either get a clearly superior runner or don't use one. No pitchers fit that category

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wright off to his typical 0-2 deficit

We can collectively benefit

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

3 pitches. What a fucking pussy

[Fman99]

God damn. Three pitches.
