Let's Go Mets!

the nationals are the worst team in baseball, yet of the team playing tonight, the only hitter from the mets that would get into it is David Wright.
that's pretty awful.

Maybe not ahead of Zimmerman though.

[duan]

yeah i did realise you could argue even that.

[G-Fafif]

I can't believe how selfish Wright is that he won't switch positions in order to fit into the Nationals.

(No point waiting for new controversies to actually occur before commenting on them.)

[seawolf17]

Really, the only guy he's having a better season than in that infield is Ron Belliard. (Actually, I guess Guzman kinda sucks too.)

[Frayed Knot]

This series hasn't been pretty to look at ... but at least the games have had a quick pace to them.
Kinda like what Woody was saying in 'Annie Hall' about life being sad and horrible ... but over far too quickly

Just got home-- what did Castillo do to get his crazy ass thrown out?

Force play at 2nd off an off-balance throw from Wright.
Luis had to stretch for it and juggled it briefly before gloving it too late.
He didn't get all hysterical or anything, but he must have said some interesting words calmly because he got heaved before Jerry or even Berroa from SS could get there.

[Frayed Knot]

Pagan = faster than I thought

[nymr83]

Pagan triples! and did the Mets just benefit from an error? wow!

[seawolf17]

Angel Pagan says "I do it myself."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Ex... tra... base?"

[nymr83]

Murphy just drew the first walk in the team's last 107 plate appearences, wow this team is pressing to much.

[nymr83]

score more runs, idiots!!

[nymr83]

way to lose the ball francoeur!!
is there still anyone who thinks his defense is even remotely comparable to Church?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Whoops.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Double from pinch-hitter Reed, walk from Pagan. Stammen leaving for Bergmann.

All we need's some onions, and we've got a stew going.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tatis.... jeez.

Don't leave it all up to our best hitter, please.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Hell of an at bat Fernando. LEt's hope Murphy can pick him up.

[nymr83]

no righty to hit for murphy here??

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We fucking suck

[Piggiestomatoes]

Oh, fuck!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ya see, what Jerry's doing here, ya see, is he's gotta make quota.

Only one pitch'r so far, so's he's gotta make up frit, ya see?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

3 pitchers to get 3 outs (the scenic route). This IS a union shop, innit?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Find. A way. To win.

[nymr83]

Prediction: 71-91

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice pick from Johnson at first makes it two out.

Great idea, this swinging for hits against a guy who tends to throw 97 and walk the park.
