Argenis F. Reyes 1st and Castillo 8th?

Yeah, that makes sense.

If I didn't know the Mets were gonna sweep this series convincingly I'd be out there leading the Fire Jerry NOW!!! bandwagon.

[soupcan]

That lineup is just sad.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I don't think we'll see a Jerry firing before the end of the season at the earliest. Despite the many inexplicable decisions he's been making, he'll get slack because the injuries will be blamed for the losses.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Plus he's going to get all the credit when we reel off 11 in a row, which is any day now.

No, sir.

THIS is some gangsta shit (he offers, along with the disclosure that he generally has fluctuating levels of respect for Ozzie Guillen).

]Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was asked why attendance was so low for the Dodgers series. "Because our fans are not stupid like Cubs fans," Guillen said. "They know we're [expletive]."

Luis Castillo's OBP this year against RHP: .383.

Argenis Reyes' [u:e60fc1fdd6]LIFETIME[/u:e60fc1fdd6] OBP: .252.

Seriously, I wonder sometimes if Jerry remembers that the object of the game is to WIN.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's clear that he knows something about Argenis that we don't.

It may also be something that God doesn't know either.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Isn't a shortstop either.

[bmfc1]

The ESPN feeds not on in NY, right? Orel Hershiser must think we're stupid:

They put up a graphic of the top offensive duos, "25 and under" (Braun, Felder, etc.). Hershiser goes: if you're wondering why Kevin Youkilis isn't on the list, it's because he's older than 25.

I didn't grasp that from the title of the graphic! The concept was too confusing. Thanks, Orel!

[Guest themetfairy]

Fuck - we're hitting so badly that we're making LaVerne look like a good pitcher.

[Guest Kong76]

Looper - orig jb

Mets leave bases loaded.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Good teams-- power or no-- cash in there.

We didn't cash in there.

[nymr83]

Nieve doesnt have it tonight. Looper just drove in a run.

[nymr83]

CHURCH GUNS OUT LOOPER AT THE PLATE!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Double-switch here? Killing your defense while burning a potential pinch-hitter is kind of... um... what's the word I'm looking for?

Oh, yeah-- DUMB.

Of course, so is sending a slow pitcher on a shallow fly on any OF not named, "Johnny Damon."

Nice gun out of Churchie, though.

Castillo has failed in 2 bid spots tonight, i dont mind a double switch so Dessens can pitch longer but pulling Castillo (who despite the famous error is sure handed) for tatis means we're likely to see more of our recent infield error issues pop up tonight.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Boy that Argenis Reyes is just dynamic.

[nymr83]

by the way the date is wrong on this IGT

[Piggiestomatoes]

On Argenis's error, Orel mentions that the wrong Reyes is playing SS for the Mets.

You are correct, sir!

[nymr83]

McGhee pulls a Castillo!

LETS CAPITALIZE!!

[nymr83]

schneider hits a 2-run double off the fence!!!!

the Mets capitalize on an opponent's error!!!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Did we just capitalize on the opponent's mistake???? WOW! Maybe the worm is turning.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Never thought I'd see the day when The Schnied is our best hitter.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Wheeeeeee!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Want me to drive that in for you?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Time to whiff some guys, Brian.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Popups to first work too.

Stokes shares Felicano's inability to throw intentional balls.

[nymr83]

gets Braun to popup, walks Fielder, and just got robbed on the 0-1 pitch of strike 2...
