Wow. I wasn't aware that the injuries were so bad we were just running Livan out there by himself.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He'll have one more voice in the dugout (not eligible for DL return until Tuesday) urging him on as he does his Baseball Bugs-ing:

Adam LaRoche - cleanup hitter...wow

7/22 - .231/.325/.770

[Gwreck]

He does have 7 homers, more than anyone on the Mets has.

[metirish]

Oh I know, some of his numbers aren't terrible , just I don't think cleanup hitter when I see his name.

Pirates fan forum where they actually tell you to go the the Penguins forum to talk NHL Finals

Think we can steal Snell's signs again? IIRC, he accused the Mets of that last time around.

He's always been a slow starter, to an incredible degree.

It's my head, Mets... IT'S MY HEEEEEEAD!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Mets jump out to a 2-0 lead on a double by Reed, a triple by Valdez and a single by Schneider. I don't believe it either.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Either Ian Snell is leaving pitches over the plate, Wilson Valdez is surprisingly strong, or Jeremy Reed is the world's finest sign-relayer.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Beltran once again a late scratch.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Missing our one, three, four, and six hitters.

But the Mets get the early lead thanks to run producers Brian Schneider and Ramon Castro.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Let's go young daniel. Must capitalize off the lead-off walk.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Fernando, you look marvelous. Nice spark plug.

[Theoldmole]

Sheffield limping?

[ashie62]

Sheff...please don't be hurt...looks as if tweaked after rounding second

[nymr83]

Valdez drives in two, we don't need Reyes back.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Wilson F. Valdez drives in two more with a hard-hit double down the RF line, following Reed's second double.

[ashie62]

Jose who?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Wilson Valdez es un hombre muy malo.

[ashie62]

Had 50th birthday yesterday..Got a very nice Ed Kranepool 69 World Champs signed ball.

Thanks to all who have played for the Mets and cheered them on***

[Farmer Ted]

Valdez. Professional hitter.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Beautful tailing fastball at the knees to get Nyjer Morgan, and a couple of 60-mph eephus-y curves flummox a red-hot Freddy Sanchez.

Livan couldn't make that ball dance more if he were a bitchy, coked-up Bob Fosse.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Heaven help me, I'm older than Ashie. My prostate just exploded.

mine is Rusty...

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Changing a subject I'm sorry I started, Fartinez with a hit and two walks. Nice to see the patience.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He gives a good effort most times, but Jeremy ain't no Endy.
