John Ely -- RHP, 23 years old, acquired by the Dodgers from the White Sox in the Juan Pierre trade, will be making his major league debut.

Born & raised on the south side of Chicago, throws low 90s cutter, curveball, changeup. 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA in three starts at Albuquerque.

Ely's Coming?

Those words should inspire hopes of a Metly drubbing of Los Dodgers this afternoon...but somehow these first-timers always seem to befuddle Met hitters.

Today's the day we turn it around and light Ely up.

Yup. Goodbye, winning streak. Fuckin' hell.

[ashie62]

Ely is going to get his t*ts ripped off

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ely's not the pitcher who's gonna determine whether this streak continues.

[Gwreck]

Especially because Takahashi is only available to bail us out every few days.

I thought Jerry was pretty quick with the hook for Oliver last night (something I was in favor of) -- and it worked out (courtesy an assist from the Home-plate ump). Can he be quick with the hook again today if necessary? Even if it means Raul Valdes or Manny Acosta has to pitch 2+ innings?

By the evening, he may be wishing Mama had told him not to come.

The Dodgers GM isn't happy with Matt Kemp:

[Gwreck]

I wouldn't be either. Didn't see a whole lot of effort yesterday from Kemp (Keith was on him for this during the broadcast).

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Fair enough. But Kemp is so not the problem there.

I hear Neuwenhuis is a real max-effort player. Gee, too. Howzabout a trade?

[Guest Edgy DC]

STOP THAT!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I KID!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

How about Russell Martin leading off. Something of a slumpbuster lineup for Joe I guess.

[Elster88]

An afternoon Mets game and some eggs make a sick person feel better.

I'm so happy that I can watch the game on TV...I'm covering in the peds lab this and next week and there is a TV here that has SNY.....Looked like Maine had some life on the fastball....of course it could be the Dodgers were swinging wildly too.

[DocTee]

1-2-3 14 pitch first inning for Maine. Nice start.

[DocTee]

GameDay's photo of Ely has him in civvies. Sheesh.

[TransMonk]

How are the broadcasters pronouncing Ely?

Is it "el-E" or "E-lie"?

[metirish]

Like the football player...E- LIE

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Maine's working pretty briskly, isn't he?

There goes the no-no.

Looks like David Wright has dethroned Ed Kranepool as King of the Doubles.

Long live the King!

Ike gets on base ... again! Loving this guy.

[DocTee]

runners on the corners with none out...let's make some noise.

[Guest Edgy DC]

If Gameday is correct, Davis just singled to right on a pitch five inches off the plate outside.
