[Guest Edgy DC]

And thus ends 23 days of picking splinters for Mike Nickeas. I wonder what the team record is.

[bmfc1]

Will Hessman get off the bench for game 2?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Will Perez?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I know he's not "stretched out" but it seems like Perez is probably the best choice for Saturday's start. (Unless maybe it's Valdes?)

[Guest themetfairy]

Valdes is listed on mets.com as Saturday's probable starter.

[G-Fafif]

4:10 start always means an empty stadium for first game of a rescheduled doubleheader...but it's really empty there. If you're within three states of Citi Field, you can probably get over there and pick up a foul ball.

Speaking of empty, David just extended his team record for strikeouts in a season.

[G-Fafif]

Keith just bought hot dogs for the booth. John Franco just wandered in. Mike Nickeas just got his first big league hit.

The things that happen before 5 o'clock.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nickeas!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think Niese might be a little gassed, or hurt maybe. Way to give up 5 runs with 2 out. Jeez.

[Frayed Knot]

Chris Carter is not a major league outfielder.
And if you are going to use him there out of necessity keep him the hell out of Right. I think Bengy Molina could go 1st to 3rd on a one-hop liner to C.C.

[ashie62]

Niese has been "done" for over a month.

I just hope as he's been laboring for a month, he hasn't developed any bad habits in his mechanics.

holy crap

[G-Fafif]

This first game reminding me of a first game from ten years ago.

[G-Fafif]

Keith and Gary going through the "lineage" of Met first basemen and I'm pretty certain they're cribbing from UMDB.

[G-Fafif]

Keith just thanked his buddy Steve from Strat-O-Matic for doing his 1B research for him, so somebody else went to UMDB. UMDB goes unmentioned in the transaction.

Claims he called stratomatic because he was busy cleaning his gutters.

[Frayed Knot]

Niese has been killed by the 'One Big Inning' syndrome.
And, no, it's not just that it seems that way to us. Today was his 6th time this season allowing an inning of 5 or more runs, the most in MLB this year.

[G-Fafif]

Pedro Feliciano doesn't appear in Mets games. The Mets appear in Pedro Feliciano games.

[G-Fafif]

Tying run on third in the eighth, two out -- I swear I wasn't planning on sweating this out one way or the other.

[G-Fafif]

D'oh!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nickeas' rep for defense has taken a small beating in a short time. That's not how it's done.

[G-Fafif]

Kneejerk reaction: Acosta must go.

[G-Fafif]

It's Takahashi Time!

(Wait, is that a thing?)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pedro oughta not be walking CarGo. And that throw by Nickeas. On time, on a line and 11 feet off the bag.

[G-Fafif]

Takahshi Time not a great thing.
