Yes, he is. And don't call me Rusty.

Berroa stinks.

It's not like that's news.

Our failure to replace Cora with someone better -- or to figure out what's wrong with Reyes and how long he'll need to heal -- is where this hurts.

[Guest Edgy DC]

What's that? 40 pitches?

Pujols: always a good baserunner.

[Fman99]

Hallegoddamlujah.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That inning smelled.

Guys on our bench

L: Schneid
R: Tatis

[Fman99]

2+ months since the Mets' last walkoff win.

Let's fix that fellas.

[Valadius]

I would love to see a Wright walk-off homer.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Pagan, in reminding you that he is not Carlos Beltran, swings at three ball fours right there before tapping out to McClellan.

[Fman99]

Berroa rules!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Holy shit did we just catch a break.

Yeah, I didn;t much like Pagan's AB.

[Guest Kong76]

A bounce here, a bounce there.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

LET'S

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Murph can be a hero here!

[Guest Kong76]

Extras

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Or he can swing at two pitches in the dirt and whiff.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jeez Muffy.

Or not.

The way I see it, you pay for 9 innings, and you see 10, then you're getting a deal.

Let's go with that.

At least with Johan going 8 there are lots of live arms out there in the pen.

Barely deserved better.
Had he thrown up more than four zeros out of 8 innings he would have deserved it more and gotten it too.

[Fman99]

Stokes pulled after one pitch as Jerry puts down his "Managing for Dummies" book and goes to the pen for lefty vs. lefty.

[Frayed Knot]

I think that's over-doing the L/R thing too.



Meanwhile, how the hell is the Boston/TB game still in the 8th inning when it's only 2-2? And it's not even a Matsuzaka start and Papelbon hasn't been in yet to slow the game to a crawl.
I hate American League baseball.

[Guest Edgy DC]

]At least with Johan going 8 there are lots of live arms out there in the pen.

And we pull one out after one pitch.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

[Frayed Knot]

It's about time for Lugo to remember that he sucks.

[Frayed Knot]

WTF is it with players traded to StL?
They all seem to hit about .600 over the first month or so.

Holliday, Lugo, Larry Walker a few years back.




And don't tell me it's because the fans love them so. That can't help you hit the curveball.

[Methead]

*sigh*

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pujols' dealer for one.
