K-rod in a holding cell at Citi Field.[/quote:36t3euj3]

Gives new meaning to "going to the pen."

I'm running on the field just so I can meet K-Rod in the pokey.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nice 400-foot Ian Stewart flyout at CitiField.

I think I once saw Stewart at Shea playing with the Stones.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Johan's under 70 pitches through seven innings. They'd need a crow bar to pry him out of the game today.

Burkhardt should be there to cover it live. "Guys, here comes K-rod with a trench coat over his wrists."

[metirish]

Yeah , as far as Burkhardt knows and he has not been told differently Rodriguez in still in the holding cell.

[Gwreck]

Got it. In that case, sounds like the police did him a favor by keeping him in the (private) holding cell rather than anywhere else.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Johan batting in the bottom of the seventh. (Good!) And he singles a runner to third! (GOOD!)

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

If they play "Enter Sandman" as KRod enters the courtroom, Francesa's gonna have a fit. That's Mariano's entrance music, dammit!

[Ceetar]

Johan batting in the bottom of the seventh. (Good!) And he singles a runner to third! (GOOD!)

[Guest Edgy DC]

I hope Rodriguez is still there when I take the Shea tour.

Crazy about Johan batting in the seventh. Learn, Jerry, learn!

[Guest Edgy DC]

And the non-bunting leads to a tack-on rally.

Learn, Jerry, learn....

Learn, Jerry, learn....

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's now 4-0 and the lead is beyond "save situation."

[G-Fafif]

Darling just called Santana "the best athlete on the field," which goes counter to "pitchers aren't athletes!"

[G-Fafif]

For other teams these are insurance runs. For the Mets these are bail bond runs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Darling was among the best athletes on the 86ers.

A commitment to the starting pitcher, letting him swing away, a two-run tack-on rally, Reyes driving them nuts on the basepaths, and even a walk. Wouldn't it be great if these were the real Mets that showed up this inning?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nobody throwing in the pen.

[Centerfield]

We can dream. Santana over 100 pitches now. How long until Jerry pulls him?

Hey how about this, why don't we try Santana as the 8th inning guy today?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I was wrong about the pitch count before. He's at 109 right now.

[G-Fafif]

This would be a good time to get Ollie some work.

[Guest Edgy DC]

110 pitches.

Absoultely have to stick with Johnny St. Anne.

[Diamond Dad]

Complete game shutout

Complete game shutout

Complete game shutout . . .

Jerry . . . are you listening???

[Guest Edgy DC]

If K-Chap comes out of hiding, Jerry has to listen.

[Ceetar]

Another difference between the Mets and the Yankees...Yanks would already have Chico's Bail Bonds sponsoring the 9th inning or something.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let's hear it for giving Beltran a day off.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Immediately following the strains of Vanis Takee, Beltran doubles into the left field corner!

Vanis Takee!

That's mojo, 2006-style!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Do you let Hessman face the righty here?

What's more important --- trying to get a platoon edge to chase run number five or giving Hess one more chance to show his quality?

I let him swing.

[Frayed Knot]

Closer? Closer?
We don' need no stinkin' closer!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Yankee players are already outfitted in black and white stripes.

Beltran's kicking some major butt.


And Greg's a bad ass for even suggesting Ollie see this game from anywhere other that the pen -- or the holding cell with KRod. Stealing $37 million is a crime, no?
