My internet connection is going too slow for me to follow this game at all. I'm thinking of going to work.

At the pace it's going you can hear the ninth when you get into the office on Tuesday.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Grrrrrrr. Perhaps the Jerkface Anonymous thread will load slowly for Edgy too.

Three runs in three innings is no big deal. Time to strap on the proton packs.

This is true.

OMG.
Stokes strokes.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Bleah. 12-5 after a bunch of ropes off of Stokes, capped by a Youkilis bomb.

Removing the proton pack to take a little nap.

[Frayed Knot]

2 many 2-out hits given up 2 2 many back-up infielders and #2 catchers.
The Youkilis HR was just icing on a cake that was already fucked up.

I think I'll go take a number 2.

Look on the bright side, Swannie: If the Sox hang on they remain in first place. We can stick it to the MFY's here by losing.

Interleague scenarios make my frontal lobe ache. Mets should win, Yankees should lose. Damn you, Bud Selig, for muddying such clear waters.

Re: the avatar - that's pretty funny. It's stored on my Hofstra student space, but I guess it was cached somewhere during my time as ol' Marvelous.

I would've agreed with you up until a few hours ago. But I've been recently persuaded otherwise by some irrefutable and compelling logic and now realize that if we played the AL East all season long, we could really stick it to the Yankees by losing all of our games. ecept the ones against the Yankees. We'd be something like 25-137 but it'd be worth it.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

awwwwwwww......HECK!

Dammit Stokes. It went OVER the damn thing.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

You know. David Ortiz sure does suck this year.

Now, steroids is an ugly word. And I sure don't want to use it. But he sure did make a big turn around after the Twins released him, and sure did suck in a hurry.

Just saying.

[Zvon]

Phils won in 11.

Gah.
Well, we aren't gonna win em all.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

2 out of 3 ain't, you know, awful, but why is it always WWL? I'd love to start the new week talking about a win once in a while.

Hey, tomorrow is a holiday. Another chance to start the week with a win to talk about.

[Gwreck]

I was all about the sweep when we were up 5-3...oh well. Sweeping on the road is tough.

Jerry's bullpen management left something to be desired but it's not as if anybody was particularly effective so even if I would've gone with Stokes over Green (or even just leaving Redding in) I'm hard pressed to say it would've been a difference-maker.

My impression of Saturday and Sunday is that the Boston fans were not nearly as bad as the Yankee or Phillies fans and have a higher baseball IQ as well. There also didn't seem to be the usual element of Mets fans behaving badly on the road that is often seen in Philly or the Bronx.
