This Leake kid ain't bad

[batmagadanleadoff]

That inning illustrated why Castillo should precede rather than follow Reyes. If the batters (and events) were reversed, the Mets don't score, and strand runners on first and second.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If I'm Baker, I'm not sure that I don't stick with Leake to hit there even if I'm pulling him come the end of the inning. 'Cause Cairo wasn't very good offensively before he hit Social Security eligibility.

Of course, if I'm Baker, I'm pissed every time I see a slow guy walk, because I think of him as a "base clogger."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I wonder if they sell stuffed life-size replicas of Daniel Ray Herrera at the souvenir stands.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He Frenched that one to within an inch of its life.

Nice play by Heisey. Ike tags and goes to third with one out.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Now there's the Mets offense I remember.

(sigh)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Met Bench needs some Bambi's Bandits power.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Met Bench needs some Bambi's Bandits power.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It'll look like a scoreless inning of relief in the boxscore.

Now I'm gonna go change my shorts.

[Fman99]

GIDPs? Muffed grounders? BRING BACK THE OLD JOSE JOSE DAMMIT

[Fman99]

Finally, new NY NY Sports Sports commercials. Those guys kill.

[Fman99]

Nieve makes easy work of the Red in the 8th.

[Fman99]

After a thousand viewings those Caesar's commercials are starting to get to me. Who wants to meet me in Atlantic City and score some whores? LET'S DO IT.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bad Bay Game.

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta get something here.
I hate being in tie games on the road.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Seems like Francoeur has been making failed bids all night.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

UnderFrenched. Dammit.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

St. Louis just closed out the Phillies 6-3 to spoil Blantons return to the phanatics. Now let's close this game out and reclaim first place.

[metirish]

Nieve throwing some serious heat up there.....man he looks like the shit.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Nieve with another nice inning of relief.

Time for the offense to break through and score a few runs in the top of the 10th.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Rodriguez next no matter what, Jerry.

Learn, dammit learn!

[Frayed Knot]

Innuresting stat line on this reliever: 11 IP, [u:m5e87weq]19 K[/u:m5e87weq], but also 9 BBs

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah take away the runs against and that was him last year. I was reading where he felt he didn't get enough work in spring training.

GRILL
GOOD

Those chili cheese dogs in Cinci look worth the trip![/quote:263witlh]

They're good. Cinci chili is a bit sweeter than what we have out here, and it's very tasty.[/quote:263witlh]

That's because they put chocolate in it.

[Fman99]

Not pretty but effective glove work by Davis/Feliciano there.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hopefully we can get by Rolen without Endy's help.

[Guest Edgy DC]

If this turns into a war of attrition, Dusty Baker only has two more pitchers in the pen.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Please no rookie debut heroics.
