I know he had 3 hits yesterday, but has the rook earned batting in that #2 spot?

Well, if they bat him first, then major parts of the country are going to miss his first major league home run while TBS is away on comercial.

Later

Castillo at 9 and Sheff at 6? I would have kept Sheffield where he was honestly. I would prefer seeing Castillo and Martinez the other way around in the order.

The Direct TV blimp has been around a lot today. I thought it was odd be-
cause usually the blimps are only around for nationally televised games so
the TBS broadcast explains that.

Not like we'll see any TBS blimp shots because it's blacked out here.

[Guest Kong76]

Here's what they're sending Johan ...

Derek Jeter SS
Johnny Damon LF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher RF
Hideki Matsui DH
Melky Cabrera CF
Francisco Cervelli C

The AJ stands for Ass Jockey, I'm pretty sure.

[Frayed Knot]

A billion and a half dollars and the scoreboard's held up by scotch tape

[Zvon]

I think a break-away scoreboard is a good idea.

[Guest Kong76]

Where the funk in Martinez throwing that ball?

Hey, we get blimp shots.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hey, what good's a blimp if you can't share it?

Sit this a-hole down, Johan.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fuck, that was a 4-run inning.

[Guest Kong76]

Too much adventure for my taste.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

All with 2 outs.

Coulda, shoulda been only two.
I think if Fmart hits that cutoff the first time we get a similar rundown / out.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice turn on the outside pitch from Schneider.

Scamper, Muffy, scamper!

[Guest Kong76]

Burnett on the ropes in the 3rd with bases jammed and no one out.

Juiced. We could sure use a pop fly to right now.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bullshit

[Guest Kong76]

Cora ripped, twice.

If I was Manuel I'd mess with Burnett's head and go complain to blue about
all the crap he's wearing around his neck and insist it come off NOW!!!

[Guest Kong76]

Feh

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ugh.

[Guest Hawkeye57]

Wow, just wow.


How am I not used to this from this team yet?

[bmfc1]

They get a 2 out hit from a nobody and it leads to 4 runs. Our guys can't even get a flyball with the bases loaded and less than 2 out. Pathetic.

And they better send F. Martinez down before he loses all his trade value. Has he shown anybody here anything to make you think that he's as good as the Mets claim he is?

Not scoring with bases loaded and no out bothers me a lot more than a dropped popup.

Same here.

We should release Beltran, Fartinez and Cora right now.

I'll disagree. His trade value should have nothing to do with where he's played, but rather his value value.

And it's not the Mets' claims that his repuatation hangs on.

Burnett's gotta crash and burn here eventually.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Well, at least they only left 1 that time.

[Zvon]

Boston leading the Phils 4 to 1 in the third.
