That's a better lineup.

Well, not by a ton. Tatis doesn't strike out as much but he makes more outs per plate apperance. And who knows if Tejada can hit. It's better constructed though.

Makes more outs per plate appearance than who?

You realize that Tatis replaced Jacobs, right?

What stat are you using for the Tatis/Jacobs comparison, because over the past two seasons Tatis OBP was 40-60 points higher, his OPS was 40-80 points higher, and his OPS+ was 15-20 points higher than Jacobs.

[Guest attgig]

at first, i thought it was a lot better lineup, till i realized that 3-8 were all rightys. i guess it makes sense with a starting LHP, but once the bullpen gets in the game, I'm guessing Jerry empties the bench of the lefty batters.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Enough about lineups. Our worst guy with a raging case of the Guadelajara monster-squirts is better than their best guy on his best day after a handful of those little black capsules I found in Lenny Dykstra's old foot locker. We fear nothing, but are a little squeamish around hairy bugs and shirtless guys asking us to hit them in the stomach with a bat. Play time is over. Play ball!

The Marlins looked so comfortable hanging on the inside portion of the plate, it was like they were planning to stay overnight.

I wouldn't mind a little chin music from Niese to start things off. (It would also buy him a little inside-corner/outside-corner room to sneak his curve in for Ks.)

[Guest attgig]

turning on the game a little late. what have I missed?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Just getting there now, and the Fish defense immediately introduces itself.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Deflected-ball singles and such got the Fish their run. Robertson and Niese have been more or less cruising-- with Niese putting out 2 fires not entirely of his own making-- since.

[Guest attgig]

yeah frenchy!

love seeing the 3rd base coach falling down waving in bay

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nate Robertson, you are not as impressive as you've seemed tonight, AND...



YA BEEN FRENCHED!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hit-and-run double, French-style, and theMets have tied it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

So was that He-Fairy interfering with the ball?

[ashie62]

The schnaz was cruising til now

[Guest Edgy DC]

Could Beltran have gotten to that baby?

Will he ever again be able to get to one of those?

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's when you slide into first. Nice wheels Castillo.

Bat him leadoff.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Note to self: Gaby Sanchez can hit the other way.

Three-one, Fishies.

[Fman99]

Wow, light on the IGT participation! I just got the kids to bed.

There's hope, Nunez is warming up for the 9th.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fuckin' Gaby Sanchez with the 11-pitch walk.

[Fman99]

Stay tuned after the game for the "Smarmy Fuck" show, staring DJ Chunky and Boat-Killer.

[Fman99]

Jerry playing the matchups, gives Nieve the yank after 2 pitches and 1 out. Whatever.

I blame Tony LaRussa for all this bullpen overmanagement bull-SHEET.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

at the game with KC now. Looking for9th inning thun-dah Yah, ah ah ahhh_ ah ah ahhh, ah,ah...

[Fman99]

On to the last of the 9th... Tatis, Barajas and Tejada due up.

LETS GO METS GO

[Fman99]

Blech. And that's that then.

Go away, Marlins. Get outta my fuckin house.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nice change by Nu�ez.

Too bad we couldn't face the same bullpen as last night. Who were those guys? Let's play them again.

[ashie62]

This Mets team looks very similar to last years.

The design of the dimensions and wall height for citifield had to be done by the mad hatter or some stupid shit. I hate this fucking stadium.

So there..
