I'll be watching the Jets today.

It is what it is.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

No Jason Bay, huh.

[ashie62]

Lets put a stop to this..Livan Hernandez is NOT going to throw a no-hitter.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ike Davis says, OK. Now let's work on that shutout.

Mets are doing the closing-day thing of chasing shit off the plate.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Iko, Iko, how big hurry are you in to get home?

[Guest Edgy DC]

One run home but a double-play ends the inning. You don't see a 3-5-4 every day.

[Gwreck]

I believe that was a 3-5-4.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Crekted.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nyjer Morgan really needs to go to Fundies Camp.

[Gwreck]

Jerry takes Wright and Reyes out of the game at the top of the 9th so they can get an ovation from the crowd.

It's like he had to perform one final act of stupidity before leaving us. I'm glad they could be recognized by the crowd but it's a TIE GAME. We do still want to win, right?

[bmfc1]

Right. Marlins won so the best the Mets can get is tied for 3d.

[Frayed Knot]

Did Riggleman really think Tejada was such a threat that he couldn't leave in his Lefty?

It's like a manager dumb-a-thon out there.

[Frayed Knot]

We're taking a poll as to which batter Green hits.

I'll take the 3rd guy he faces.

Plus he did the double-switch thing (pitcher's batting 3rd) and then pulled Takahashi after 1 inning anyway and before Hessman's spot ever came up.

I thought the same thing FK... except one of them stays on for '11.

[Frayed Knot]

The season that just won't end !!

[Gwreck]

Last time the last game of the season went to extras was 1999, although there were also 13 innings in the regular season finale in 2000.

[Gwreck]

Perez warming up for the 14th inning. I see we still have Feliciano, Dessens and Niese available in the 'pen.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ollie will put a quick end to this game.

[Theoldmole]

Will Ollie end his Met career with one last loss?

Nah, he's usually pretty good on 62 days rest.

[Gwreck]

Wayne and Howie went on a long riff earlier this game about how Jerry never disrespected the Mets fans or the position of manager.

The choice of Perez here (with other men still left in the 'pen) directly contradicts that.

[Theoldmole]

You can count on Ollie.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Bases-loaded walk, and Ollie is done.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And the thousand fans in the park sound like 20 times that as they boo Oliver off the mound.

[Gwreck]

If Misch was available to pitch, why the hell did Jerry use Perez?

[metsmarathon]

well. a little blood for the fans i see. they do care!

[Guest Kong76]

Just surreal, I went over to it as it was nearing extras and
figured I'd squeeze another inning out of it.

I don't want to misquote Gary, but he had a great line along the
lines of something like it's like a demented soap opera and I was
thinking it would make a great sig line but didn't jot it down.
