Ollie had the skinny beard working tonight. My first thought was, "the only thing thinner than Ollie's beard is his margin for error."

CSB is smiling down on a potential rally...

[Piggiestomatoes]

CSB has obviously rattled Rincon. Keep it going.

[Fman99]

Frenchy getting the IBB so it's going to be Cory. Or Tatis, if they try to go lefty-lefty on him.

Can Tatis GIDP with guys on 2nd and 3rd? I think yes!

[Fman99]

I have nervous.

[Fman99]

WOW!

[Piggiestomatoes]

WOW!!! A little better than a DP.

[nymr83]

TATIS WITH A LITTLE REMINDER OF HIS '08 SELF!!

[Methead]

OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD

An Agbayani-esque Grand Slamami for Tatis!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

When I say sham you say wow shamwow shamwow

Saw Putz in the dugout during the celebration. Know he's not ready but it's good to see DL guys with the club.

who was the asshole that spent half the year on the DL away from the club only to return to be a playoff cherleader in 2000?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pinch-hit grand slams make me frisky.

[Fman99]

I think the real MVP of the 2009 Mets is creepy sun baby.

I admit it, I thought Tatis was cooked after getting to 0-2.
Thought he was going to see a big ol' curve in the dirt and whiff at it.

he wouldn't whiff, he'd put it on the ground for an inning-ender.

Three in a row...unstoppable.

[bmfc1]

Great win on a bad day for the franchise.

Perfect timing -- take the attention away from the boobery of the front office types.

Just get that IGT with snappy title up before someone else does

[Valadius]

Let's keep getting this season turned right round...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Just got back from game... holy fucksticks, whuzzat fun!

I was the loudmouth over by the bridge just when Tatis got called up to pinch-hit; owing to one too many Beer Island Parfaits I chewed the ears of LWBetterHalfer and our game companions off about how a double play-- sadly-- was coming up right here. I was that guy, for a good three minutes, while the reliever warmed up.

I haven't been so happy to be wrong since I got outvoted on seeing 'Batman and Robin.'

Whatever y'all is doing in the IGTs-- JCL intros, CSB cameos, "Right Round" from Valadius-- keeps it ups.

Edgy, IIRC you've posted several times that you think Castillo should be batting leadoff. After tonight's game, one of the radio guys (don't recall which one) noted that Luis is hitting over .400 in July. Just thought you'd like that amunition for your position.

i agree he should leadoff, but i dont know that it makes much difference because Castillo followed by Pagan/Cora is probably the same as the opposite, it really only matters when you're moving someone more than a couple of spots (like when some dopey manager lets a speedy out-machine leadoff while a decent but slow OBP-guy hits 7th or 8th)

Nymr - "who was the asshole that spent half the year on the DL away from the club only to return to be a playoff cherleader in 2000?"

If memory serves me correctly, I believe that was Rey 0rdonez. He hurt his arm while trying to make a play at the second base bag against the Dodgers. Following his injury, he virtually dropped out of sight until the end of the season.

I dont' think so. There's a dynamic that's missing.

A walk by Castillo followed by a double by Pagan is typically a run. A double by Pagan followed by a walk by Castillo is not. You generally want the guy who is better at reaching base ahead of the guy who is better at pushing people around the bases. I do, anyhow.
