John Maine vs. Nate Robertson. And remember: the Mets were 18-18 after 36 games in 1969.

(I'm a little sick of looking at the other kind right now.)

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Can't blame you for that in the least, LWFS.

Jose and Angel are flipped in tonight's order.

Reyes SS
Castillo 2B
Pagan CF
Bay LF
Wright RF
Davis 1B
Francoeur RF
Barajas C
Maine P

Blanco's back. Thole's down. Ollie's a money sponge.

[MFS62]

Reyes leading off. Good.
Pagan hitting third? I guess. He's been consistent lately.

Via Lennon,

When asked if he is happy back in the lead off spot Reyes said " yes,yes, it feels like I'm going home to see my family".

[ashie62]

Reye's is leaving to see his family?

Reyes leading off. Good.

Agreed.
I like Pagan third as long as he continues to produce.

[Zvon]

Yikes.
Throw a freakin strike Maine.

Walks 2 to start the game, throwing 8 straight balls.

[Zvon]

12 straight balls.

Bases loaded.
Unfuckin believable.

[metirish]

Maine with 12 straight balls...�what's the record

[Zvon]

I've been watchin baseball for many,many moons and I don't think I ever saw a pitcher open a game with 12 balls.
Yea Maine, walk in a run.
Why not?

0-1

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He's down 1-0, and he's throwing a no-hitter.

And hey, he did walk Uggla. Which is an achievement, since Uggla swings at balls at which Rob Deer would snicker.

[metirish]

Why are they even swinging?, " Hangover" on HBO at 8, looks like I will be watching that.

[Zvon]

He's down 1-0, and he's throwing a no-hitter.[/quote:190ds3aj]

Ha. You made me spit coffee.

[Chad ochoseis]

Also, he's still got the no-hitter.[/quote:1qf8m606]

Shhhh. You'll jinx him and he'll start pitching lousy.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Obviously it was the jinx!

[Zvon]

Maybe this will spark the offense.
Let me rephrase that.
This will have to spark the offense.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dammit. There's the no-no.

[ashie62]

Steve Blass is out of the inning

ball jokes anyone?

[Piggiestomatoes]

Nice swing (with no one on base), David.

[ashie62]

KABOOM

[Zvon]

[ashie62]

BOOM

[Zvon]

ugh. Nice slide but he was out by a mile.

[Piggiestomatoes]

WTF. If that throw was on line, the catcher would have been able to take a nap. I know Maine was on deck but there was only one out.
