[Benjamin Grimm]

I somehow missed Cora's activation. (Was he available for last night's game?) Who went away to make room for him? Was it Valdez?

[bmfc1]

Cora up, Pagan DL

[G-Fafif]

Cora! Cora! Cora!

(If he were an MFY, I assume Sterling would be all over that one.)

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

In short,

IF: Cora in; RMartinez out
OF: Brown in; Pagan out

Also, Ohlendorf's a Princeton ninny. The gentleman in me tips my hat to a guy who earned his engineering degree while laboring in the D-Back farm system, while the Quaker in me says, "Fuck that noise-- stuff that eating-club-eatin' muthafucka."

[G-Fafif]

That's Emil Brown, not, as I instinctively suspected, Leon "Motor" Brown.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That sounds more Mennonite than Quaker.

Sentence fragment jumped out at me like it wandered over from an Fman punchline.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

My analrapist would have a field day with that.

FREE With Purchase of Any Other Book (or magazine). Love it.

I saw the prop version of that book on eBay once for like a billion dollars.

He could combine that call with the one where he drops A-Bombs on Matsui and we'd all be partying like it's 1945

[Theoldmole]

I'd try to get Sheffield a rest.

[bmfc1]

Rained out

[G-Fafif]

And it was such a promising thread, too.

[bmfc1]

The Mets make this one up on 7/2 at 12:35.

[Fman99]

Hope he bought you a drink first.

Come on!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hey! It's Job Bluth!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Surprised that there's not a doubleheader today, since the Mets don't have a scheduled return to Pittsburgh.

Neither team has to travel far after the game. The Mets are off to Washington and the Pirates are headed to Houston.

[Gwreck]

This game is being made up on July 2nd. Off day for the Mets; they'll be on the road between Milwaukee and Philadelphia.

I thought that as well then wondered if its b/c the Mets are considered a 'draw' in Pittsburgh and they didn't want to give up the gate on weekday as opposed to a week night. That's if it is rescheduled as a night game.
