I was hoping Minaya might pull a fast one and recall Seaver or Ryan after DFAing Green.

What a lineup that is

[Fman99]

Home long enough for the ceremonies and maybe the first inning before I head out for my buddy's bachelor party.

Looking forward to seeing all the old Mets out there again.

[Fman99]

Howie's the right guy to be out there emceeing. He gets it.

[Fman99]

Whoops, just found the ceremony thread.

[ashie62]

Tonights lineup

1B Krane
2B Pfeil
3B Garrett
SS Buddy
LF Cleon
CF Gaspar
RF Swoboda
C Grote

[metirish]

Maybe Redding gets inspired.

Redding looks so good through two, I momentarily thought I had beer goggles on.

bmfc1 Aug 22 2009 06:01 PM

I wonder how the SNY crew decides if Gary, Ron and/or Keith will wear a polo shirt, a jacket and tie, a jacket but no tie, or a dress shirt but no jacket or tie. Tonight's a polo shirt night.

Redding tiptoes around two-out base occupants for a third time. Not sure... but I swear Ron was staring daggers at Ralph during the last half-inning. (Maybe because he's the one forced into standing?)

="cooby"]I was under the impression that Pedro was pitching tonight

Tomorrow, against... um... that guy with the eyes and two arms.

Seriously, I must be drunk... Tim's looking great. (1 hit, 4 baserunners through 5.)

="Ashie62":1vep5169]I could see with these guys if you come to them respectfully they would give you a moment rather than the stink eye [/quote:1vep5169] True, but there were exceptions, like Gaspar who came over to us to say hi, shoot the bull, and make sure we were having a good time.

Sheffield hits some great foul balls!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 22 2009 07:05 PM

Um... 80 pitches through 5 innings, with 1 hit allowed. So... he's pulled for Misch? Really?

metirish Aug 22 2009 07:09 PM

Utley didn't misch that

bmfc1 Aug 22 2009 07:17 PM

Geez, Misch is so bad that he makes us miss Redding. That's tough to do.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 22 2009 07:19 PM

Redding generally does well against the Phils... and he was cruising. And he'd thrown 81 pitches. (AND, if you're feeling a bit cynical... he's a FA after the year. If it's the pitch count that had him coming out... then why the f*ck is he on a hard pitch count?)
