Nice effort from Francoeur getting to second on the double.

Not so nice read on the Tejada liner to right. He deserves the assist on the DP as much as the right fielder Repko.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

With just an Orlando Hudson seeing-eye job given up, Niese is making the Morneau-and-Kubel-free Twinkies look like a bunch of Ding-Dongs through three.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

OUI OUI![/bigpurple]



Baker Frenched and toasted. 2-0, Goods.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Niese pitching with a lead. Very nice.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

HayZoos continues to hit like he's being paid specifically to illustrate how useless GMJ was in Metly colors. One out double to go with two singles gives him a 3-3 day thus far.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

DABIDRYE GO BOOM!

[Guest Edgy DC]

#14 over #14.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"IKE-AY! Canwetakeittothabridge? CAN WE TAKE IT TO THE BRIDGE?"



And hey-- Rick Anderson sighting!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Just a wee little Frenching that time. But still... now he's Just a Triple Away From the CycleTM.



Four runs in, one pitcher chased, and our heroes continue to threaten.

[Guest Edgy DC]

BATTING 'ROUND THE LINEUP DOT COM!
COMING BACK FROM THE BEH-HEST!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Two on, no out?

On Thanagar, the word for "no-out crisis" is the same word for "opportunity to turn one smooth DP."

[Guest Edgy DC]

I swear, I never in my life imagined that Brad Benson was this big an asshole.

[Guest Edgy DC]

About time we get some Thome.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ouch. Knuckle-ball to Thome. (Adding correctly-called insult to injury, it's a strike.)

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Elmer needs to lock this down right here!

[Guest Edgy DC]

BASES LOADED GROUNDOUT DOT COM!
COMING BACK FROM THE BEH-HEST!

[Guest Edgy DC]

So, how about that short workday for Hawkman? Magic 100-pitch threshhold?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Feliciano? Really?

Sheesh. Save the guy for Puerto Rico.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

grumble grumble Tatis grumble grumble

Yep. He was touching 100 after 6. The leadoff walk likely pushed him over.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

In the books!!!

So, how about that short workday for Hawkman? Magic 100-pitch threshhold?[/quote:1haha006]

100 pitches in near 100 degrees combined to make that decision I think.


No problem here using Pedro. LHBs were coming up and he made quick work of them with no one even getting the ball out of the infield.
Good way to keep Morneau on the bench too.

[ashie62]

Yes,Ike Davis's ball has "carry"

[Fman99]

Feliciano? Really?

Sheesh. Save the guy for Puerto Rico.[/quote:fv1mmu4l]

Forty-third appearance in 75 Mets games... to lead MLB in appearances. And without doing any research I suspect he had more appearances this year that were full innings than in years past, when he would get less leeway against righties.

Watchin now. He was out by a freakin mile.
Boneheaded play.
Breaks a cardinal rule there. 3rd out at third.
For shame.
That kinda shit could get you traded.

He better do something to make up for that.

*fast foward

Sweet.
Great freakin at-bat leads up to the KB.

His last at-bat was good too.
He got it to 3-2 and then he wiffed like a blind man.

Oh yea, hang em and bang em.

He's been making his own workload a little heavier too, by not getting the first batter as often as you'd like to see.
