Maine Line the Braves I.G.T. 4/23 Braves @ Mets 7:10

[ashie62]

John Maine vs. K Kawakami..The Mets can pass the Braves in the standings with the correct, and expected turn of events.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Kawakami is a free-base machine. If it's a parade of two-pitch, swing-at-everything at-bats against this dude, I'll be so angry that I'll... I'll... why, I'll...

"OMFG , JOSE REYES IS IN THE THIRD SPOT, OF ALL THE THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN....THIS IS CRAZY....."

[Guest Edgy DC]

And Ike is ahead of Francoeur.

I have a lusty feeling.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Go Jerry

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's like he just needed a modest hot streak to reclaim the authority to act like a manager.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And the moment that happens, you can console yourself with the amusing image of me, at home, trying to angry-tap-dance with a baby strapped to my chest.

[metirish]

Amazing what this lineup change has done for my excitement level for this game.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Psyched for this, too. Pagan in front of Castillo shouldn't alter Castillo's (or Jerry's) habits regarding bunting all that much, I don't think. Little change there. But Jose third could be regular old Jose with just more RBI. Should still have plenty of opps to run, too. Looking forward to seeing it.

[Ceetar]

Yeah, until Reyes gets a CS, and Manuel says afterwards he ran through a stop sign.

[ashie62]

3-7 look tasty

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Jesu Christo, have some dignity, Mets. I mean, he's got a girlfriend, and he's not interested, anyway.

�We started pitching him away and he hit the other way hard and when we went inside, he pulled it with authority,� Barajas said. The display left Barajas impressed. �He�s way beyond his years, like a polished major league player,� Barajas said. �He�s so athletic. He�s got size, speed, everything you look for in a player.�

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I hat Chipper Jones. You just knew he was going to do that.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Maine walking people left and right, and now we get the phenom with the bases full.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Struck him out on a foul tip. That could have been A LOT worse. Now let's get 'em back!

[TransMonk]

Phuck the phenom.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Frenchy heads to third on Melky's error -- man on third with none out! Get. Him. Home.

[TransMonk]

Aww...for the love of...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Groan of despair.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

That was the kind of thing Casey used to have to deal with.

[metirish]

Maine leaving due to injury........sorry for him.....booth speculating something with his left arm.

Are the fans fucking booing him?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

What the heck happened to him?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Yikes. Well, we can always bring Nelson Figueroa up from Buffalo to take his spot in the rotation. Oh, wait...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

IKE KABOOM!!!!!! And the legend grows!!

[metirish]

That was a shot...over the bullpens .450 they are saying...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Impressive shot by Ike there. Working the count leading up to it helped too I'd say.

I missed Maine going down. What's his deal?

I still think he's destined for the bullpen.
