From the Post: Oh BAY-BY: Jason saves Jerry's job.

[metirish]

I thought they would have worked in a reference to "Lost" , like, show a picture of Hurley and Girardi...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'd forgotten that ARod is the designated Yankees whipping boy.

Cameron & Kate both text phone numbers to Francisco.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Way to use the same short for Francisco, tabloids. Is that actually from last night or is it a file photo?

Is it possible two different photogoraphers got the same shot?

[soupcan]

Its not the same shot, look at Frankie's right arm.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yup. A moment apart from the virtually same angle.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah I at first suspected they were the same shot but my Snooze hard copy has a credit for Cory Sipken/Daily News

Anyway, I'm kinda disappointed this became a "Mets Hold On" story and not a "Bay Kicked Sabathia's Fat Ass" story, but that's baseball, Suzyn.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Any idea what's the Mets record for reaching in consecutive plate appearances?

Wow. Did it in September on the road while fiighting for a playoff spot.

Started against a first-place team, and continued against a last-place one.

Steve Politi in the Ledger defending Manuel and getting on Minaya..

"Some of this mess is no one�s fault. This season might be different with a healthy Carlos Beltran in the lineup, or if Wright wasn�t striking out like a washed up Dave Kingman"

Another jackass piling on the Mets

[G-Fafif]

Incidentally, earlier editions of Snooze and Pest each had variations on BAY CITI on the back page, with one helpfully adding ROLLERS. Nobody remains more immersed, 30+ years after the fact, in '70s Top 40 than yours truly, and even I had to stop and think about that for a few seconds.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The funny thing is Kingman never actually washed up. While he was certainly bad during his second Mets tenure, it's hard to attribute that to aging, as he had a strong finish to his career as the Oakland DH.

You don't stop Bluto when he's on a roll.

Wouldn't this have been more apropos on his 4-for-4 S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night?

Wright is on pace to finish with 121 RBI. If that's washed up I'll take a team full of them please.

So what's it gonna be tomorrow?


KNUCKLE SANDWICH, I'm guessing.

[ashie62]

All I know is Batmags I.G.T.'s are en fuego

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

News went with "Trickey Dickey"

[MFS62]

I'm guessing the Post will have "Jeter Needed the Rest, So He Made It Rain".
