Reyes' PhD thesis about smart baserunning just got turned down.

He's running on contact, apparently, and was dead to rights. Not only that but he didn't slide. WTF?

(This is gleamed from the radio broadcast... like our governor, I see nothing.)

[Frayed Knot]

Cox winds up getting burned by his short bench.
He allows RP Peter Moylan to hit w/1 out and a runner on 2nd -- yet then switches pitchers immediately anyway.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, but he also pinch-hit a lefthanded reserve for his lefthanded starting outfielder and it worked for him.

[Fman99]

BLAMMO! Sheff!

[Guest Edgy DC]

KABOOMOWITZ!

[Frayed Knot]

Sheffield says THAT's why I'm hitting cleanup

[Benjamin Grimm]

I guess Sheffield isn't totally useless after all.

That's number 501.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

BOOM!!!!

I take back some of the unkind things I have been thinking about Gary Sheffield.

And now he's got a really bad OF defense leftover.
In fact he's got middle infielders in CF & 1B and LFs in both LF & RF

You think Sheffield will forgive me?

[Guest Edgy DC]

No, I don't think he'll forgive you. Even if you offer him your imaginary sister.

Who pitches the ninth?

I don't want forgiveness, at least not until he does that a few more times.

]Who pitches the ninth?

lets just throw Rodriguez out there, what the hell

Rodriguez.

Anyone but Sean Green.

My thoughts exactly.

I bet it's him, though.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nope! It's Frankie!

[nymr83]

="Centerfield"]Rodriguez. Anyone but Sean Green.

green can pitch the 29th... after we've gone through everyone but tommorow's starting pitcher and the bench coach.

[HahnSolo]

Frankie in a tie game after two innings last night?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Still available in the pen: Feliciano, Takahashi, and Green.

Hell, Mr. Met is in uniform. Put him out there before Green. We know he can toss hot dogs and t-shirts accurately.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Spare the Rod, spoil the game.

Idle question: With his start scheduled for Saturday, isn't it a Johan throw-day today anyway?

[Frayed Knot]

I think it's a good spot for him. You figure only one inning anyway and the pitcher's spot is up in the bottom half.

[Centerfield]

NO MORE GIVING UP DOUBLES.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Remember that throw when you pour the Schaefer.

[HahnSolo]

Be a good idea for Garrett Anderson to remember he sucks this year.

YES!

Indeed. I haven't been a huge Manuel-the-BP-manager fan, but color me 100 percent in favor the continued Gossaging of the Rod.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice of Chipper not to take 2nd on that play too.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Arm don't slump.

(Oh, and he up next, too.)
