Yikes. Most stomach viruses seem to go away in 24 hours or so. I wonder what's up?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hit his head on the bowl.

I says it before, and I'll says it again: nobody ever expressly said Beltran DIDN'T have dysentery.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Or swine flu. They haven't ruled that out either.

You don't quite know how correct you are.

My guess is it was Chris Carlin. He's the most swinelike employee of SNY that I can think of.

Watching him makes me a little queasy.

That seems to indicate more fear than faith.

Am I drunk, or is it a little bit early for a LGM?

(No, wait. I'm drunk and it's a little bit early.)

[Guest Kong76]

If someone mentions a no hitter after two innings, and it happens, then what?

Just trying to inspire the one run of support Santana will need to register his league-leading eighth victory.

Six more weeks of winter?

Holy crap. I was JUST thinking about that hypothetical, in-no-way-referential-of-tonight's-game-in-specific situation.

Also, I was just thinking that the first Met no-hitter would likely come on a night after a demoralizing loss, midweek, at an away park.

It's never too early.....LGM works even in December , it's best expressed when the winter meetings commence.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Hokey smokes, a beauty of a backhand-stop-jump-throw by Castillo on the not slow Jack Wilson. That's the sort of thing you need to do what KC is referring to, but I shall not mention.

[Guest Kong76]

Can we do like an out countdown or something or would that be
pushing the envelope?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Meanwhile, a rolling Moss gathers Wright's bloop down the RF line. The next run you hear may not happen for quite some time.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Duke's always been decent against us (3-1 in 5 starts, 3.62 ERA). And this year, he's actually pitching a decent potch in general.

[seawolf17]

Damn, that's a great recovery by David and a nice scoop by Tatis.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Maybe you don't play at little-league depth next time, Mr. Sugar Pants.

The Rockies will crumble, Gibraltar will tumble.
Hey, those might be great lyrics for a song.

Later

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ah, well.

That Freddy Sanchez is one hell (!) of a major-league (!) hitter!

[seawolf17]

That would have been a Gold Glove play there.

Holy moley, there is like NOBODY in the park tonight.

[Guest Kong76]

Another game, another no no-no. Didn't want to post until they didn't score.
I'm superstitious.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, for fuck's sake-- Tampa Bay lets Sonnanstine swing away, Jerry. You can't let the best athlete on the team take a cut?
