David looking for his first hit at Turner Field this season 0-for-20 entering this at-bat.

[G-Fafif]

David now 0-for-21 down Georgia way in 2010.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Offensively, every game now is a bad standup's joke: "Met people treat free baserunners like this, and other people treat free baserunners like THIS."

Case in point.

[G-Fafif]

Fuh-misched as the Yiddish-speaking Mets fans might say of the bottom of the first.

[G-Fafif]

It takes a Brave to beat a Brave: Go Frenchy!

[Guest Edgy DC]

It takes a bad hop to turn a double play into a run-scoring single.

I don't care. Hernandez is still a better option than Tejada at this point.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

What is this business? That man... that Met batted the other Met towards home! WITH HIS BAT!

How strange! How vulgar, and yet... how exciting!

Tie game!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Luis Hernandez hasn't been with the team long enough that failure with runners in scoring position is the Met way. Pagan has been a rebel of sorts in his disregard for the team standard most of the season.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Two outs, nobody on.

And now, three batters later, we're in the same place.

[G-Fafif]

New mountain to climb.

Luis Hernandez -- he's never heard of us either.

[G-Fafif]

Mejia mowing 'em down tonight in Triple-A.

Nice knowing ya, Pat.

Nice knowing ya, Pat.

[Guest Edgy DC]

In retrospect, maybe Misch wasn't the best option against this lineup.

[Guest Edgy DC]

This Chris Carter --- the one we've been keeping buried on the bench --- has reached three times.

And Wright comes up as the tying run --- and pops up on the first pitch.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ike Davis needs some pine time.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I can't get the TV feed and Howie and Wayne are talking about the roster makeup next year.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Now they're arguing about the appeal of Mejia for the pen.

Booo! Booo, Mets broadcasters!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bottom of the lineup doing it for the Mets tonight after a French single and a Thole trip.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hernandez walks and Beltran is going to pinch-hit in the sixth.

[bmfc1]

Mejia tonight: 8.0 ip, 5h, 1r, 1bb, 9k. Wanna bet he takes the Misch start on Saturday?

[ashie62]

Beltran's case for staying in CF would be helped if he would hit.

F U Carlos

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pagan really crumbs it up by going down looking with one out and two runners in scoring position.

I freaking hope so, as I'll be there for his second scheduled start.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bases jammed for Carter, who is perfect this evening.

Cox is going to a lefty --- and Jerry has typicallly gone to a righthanded pinch hitter in these situations --- but he doesn't really have any effective pinch-hitters available, unless Reyes can bat righthanded.

It's one of those things where if you treat a guy like he can't hit lefties, you make it true, but denying him any reps against them.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Pagan struck out on a pitch down the middle, no less.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oh, well. They got into the pen, anyhow.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And Carter is rotated out of the game.

That was his first at-bat of the season against a lefty. Incredible.
