[Willets Point]

FUCK! Only three runs in that inning! Stupid Mets.

[Guest Kong76]

SSH: KC gets hit with a bit of shrapnel from the WP-Soupy duel <<<

I haven't been keeping up, I must have missed some quality action.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Easy, Sarcasmo-- I'm not sure your point can bear the weight of all that belaboring.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

McCarver music mini-infomercial? WTF?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The immense proboscis of Andy Petitte shall be seen no further. Aceves steps up for his beating.

[Guest Kong76]

How 'bout this start by Nieve? Freakin' two hits through six in the band box.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

A perfect inning by Nieve - gets out Damon, Teixiera and Cano, and hits Rodriguez with a fastball.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Robby Cano, YOU'RE fucking out, on a perfect 1-2 bounced curve.
Dare we ask for a 7th inning out of young Fernando the Third?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Johnny Damon, don't hurt your neck.

The Sheff says:

Church's dub means every starter's got a hit.

Italian ices for everybody!

Nice! I'll take a cherry ice from My Mother's Place in Ozone Park.

[Guest Kong76]

Seventh inning stretch ...

[Guest Swan Swan H]

DJ Kong with another perfect choice.

Joe Buck is worse than Joe Morgan, hands down! It's not even that he has an unpleasant voice but when he strings together words, it's like nails on a chalk board.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

For you, Mr. Nieve.

[dgwphotography]

"the league's top hitter, David Wright"

I love the sound of that...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Runners at the corners as Gardner skates toward Beltrans soft liner. We need to cash in on the gift and add some insurance runs. The Mets have the Wright man at the plate.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Another nice job by Green, let's not forget. The Jeter hit was his usual bleeder, and he got the lefty Damon to wrap it up.

OE: But wait, there's more. Green waltzes through Teixiera, Rodriguez and Cano in the eighth. The corner has been turned, it seems.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm playing my Green Tambourine.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Three more, babies.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wow! Rodriguez!

Somewhere, Billy Wagner is shaking his head.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Why is Frankie in the game. If we need him tomorrow, that would be 5 appearances in 6 days. I know he likes the work, but really?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Manuel wants the game. A lot.

This is a game that cannot be lost. If it were a three run lead and a save situation no one would be asking. Four runs is close enough to make this close enough for Frankie.

Apparently, our Chief Gangsta is only in favor of symbolic gestures that could boomerang on this team, long-term.

The other kind? The kind that, say, foment an atmosphere of accountability? Nah, not his style.

[Willets Point]

Yay Mets!


(Damn, did I chose the right inning to be snarky).

Good soldier Brian Stokes concurs, as he tends to his herb garden, fiddles on his acoustic guitar, and looks forward to sleepaway camp next week.
