Used to happen to me all the time whenever I'd line into a triple play.

I'm kinda upset that Rubin is reporting that Minaya is being kept largely to keep costs down..Too expensive too rebuid the front office. If I read right the roughly $30 Million coming off payroll will not be replaced with contracts. Are the Wilpons just "gullible" people that put too much faith & trust in employees and business associates? To me, the increasing hole in the wallet suggests so.

This might be the absolute worst lineup they've thrown out there all year, and that's saying something.

If Parnell gives up less than three runs, he shouldn't even be tagged with a loss -- just say it was "offensive indifference."

[Centerfield]

Luis Castillo, Ironman

[Fman99]

Ugh.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Screw that, he's already given up three runs! Hit batsman, error and Howard blast.
