I hope so , I don't trust him one iota though , even last season when he won ten in a row?, didn't trust him. Pelfrey is not to be trusted.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well if tonight isn't his best outing of the year, then I don't know what. I'd start to worry about an injury or something.

[Willets Point]

Seven homegrown players in the starting lineup.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I assume Murph is at second and Harris in left, yes?

Had Harris been used in the infield in spring training at all?

[Frayed Knot]

Murph hitting 2nd with Harris down below beats the hell out of the other way around.
Jerry would have no doubt hung onto Harris hitting #2.

I agree. This lineup gets me erect with optimism.

Yeah, but tonight's starter could have the opposite effect.

[ashie62]

I expect a big outing from Pelf and 2 out of three at home.

Throw in an extra win for good measure, and now you're talking.

[Ceetar]

Single and SB for Herrera in the first inning, btw I just picked him up in our fantasy league.

[Ceetar]

you guys all at the game or something? 1-0 Mets on a murphyrun, but leadoff triple for seth smith.

[ashie62]

That was a pathetic relay throw from Muffy.

[Ceetar]

Keith basically just called seth smith a pussy for not running over Thole.

[ashie62]

Yes he did. And that keeps Smith healthy for the Ceetars.

Also, nice throw Muffy.

CPF'ers there? Looking at the crowd 15 of them would be a majority on the 500 level.

[ashie62]

I want to "pre-thank" Irish for, well, the luck of the Irish for this win tonight.

I hope you are a slave to the I.G.T. for longer than you might like.

Yeah, I know its only 1-0 in the second.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I don't know if it's the plan, but Gameday shows Pelfrey coming upstairs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

...and... he gives up a double on a low one.

and by double, you mean routine fly that Willie Harris lost.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And that gets the old ERA up to an even dozen.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And there she is. Lead recovered.

[ashie62]

Gary & Keith are speaking about Jose Reyes like he is gone already.

[soupcan]

Well isn't he?

He obviously wants to see what real baseball is like.

[Guest Edgy DC]

This game is pretty much the Mets of 2011 --- perfectly capable of winnng games the other team gives to them.

Or to meet Snooki.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey! That inning gets Pelfrey down in the single digits with a 9.53 ERA.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pitching around the number-eight hitter to get to the pitcher gets you pulled, Mike.
