Heyward, rf
Uggla, 2b
Freeman 1b
Russ, c
Mather, cf
Lucas, 3b
Kawakami, p

Reyes, ss
Pagan, cf
Wright, 3b

Bay, lf
Murphy, 1b
Turner, 2b
Thole, 3b
Pelfrey, p

Thole just led off the third by doubling over the centerfielder's head.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pelfrey advances him over with a gounder to short (no bunt? have we escaped Planet Jerry?), and Reyes singles him home. Mets up, 1-0.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets rallying. Three-zip after a double by Bay.

failed to get the bunt down.

[Ceetar]

Pelfrey sounds a little off in the third, let's see if he can snap things back under control.

[Ceetar]

Getting a couple of softer hits here, which has been Pelfrey's problem mainly, with the lack of Ks.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Atlanta gets all three back. Bases loaded and still no outs.

Error by Wright on what sounded like a DP.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And [crossout:25nvrt2y]Perez[/crossout:25nvrt2y] Pelfrey gives up a fourth run on an error by [crossout:25nvrt2y]Castillo[/crossout:25nvrt2y] Wright. Ugh, release them already.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Big Pelf sucked the BHMC in Spring Training last year too, if I recall. All the same, it'd sure be nice if he'd have one good outing.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Pelfrey has said that he can't seem to get in a competitive frame of mind for exhibition games. He's tried pretending that the game matters, but it doesn't work for him.

[Guest Edgy DC]

A seven-run frame for the Men from Atlantis.

So, was he busy thinking about the World Cup or that fatal Love Parade stampede during July last year?

this form a guy that sees a sports psychiatrist.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Cristhian Martinez" is:

A) The birth hospital's/some civil servant's typo
MLB.com's typo
C) His parents' typo
D) The guy's name; there is no "right" spelling-- it just is. Now what do you think of this incense-- too musty?

[metirish]

C ) his parents in an effort to sound more american messed up the spelling.

I hope he's not seeing that psychiatrist anymore, as he's dead.

at the present time?

just laughed out loud as the thought popped in to my head that Pelfrey killed him.

Presumably he's dead both in the present, the future, and the recent past. (I think this happened a month ago)

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Holy Mother of M. Night! THAT's why he looks so nervous on the mound-- Pelf's Sixth-Sense-ing!

[ashie62]

Did Allan Lans die?

[bmfc1]

The Mets score 4 in the 9th to win 8-7. Walk-off single by L. Hernandez. All the 2B candidates chipped in--Turner was HBP, Emaus with a RBI single, D. Murphy with an RBI single.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, what a way to win. An infield hit to his namesake Diory Hernandez, in at second for the Bravos.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Paulino almost tied it himself off the lefty-- pinch-hit flyball to the deepest part of left-center.

Unfortunately, Oberholtzer and Broadway are both NRIs, and seem unlikely to come (slightly) north.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two more scoreless, with three strikeouts for Blaine Boyer, making a late push to squeeze into a roster with no room for him.

Thith name ith jutht stho sthilly.

[MFS62]

Box score sez a coupla' hits, including a double, three ribbies for Bay.
I hope he will find his power stroke this year.
