Just tuned in the middle of Kevin reporting on a Mets starter with tendinitis. But I missed which one. Princeton?

[TransMonk]

So, I've taken to listening to WFAN on my Droid during my runs which last about an hour. I usually leave the house at about the time that the Mets pre-game is starting and catch the first inning of the game at the end of my run. Today I got off work about an early, so I went on my run earlier and got my first dose of Mike Francesa for about 40 minutes before the pre-game started. I had no idea how right you guys are about what a wanker he is. It took me about two and a half minutes before I wanted to call in to him just to tell him what an idiotic blowhard he was.

Steve Sommers, I like in what little I've heard. Francesa...let's just say if it looks like I'll have to listen to him on the FAN, I will make the switch to Pandora.

Somers is probably the best 'entertainment' guy. Evan Roberts maybe the most aware of fans and how the world actual works and stuff. Francessa hasn't changed his opinion on anything in two decades. Only time really worth listening to is wednesdays at 5:05 for Collins.

Keith called the Tulo throw from Monday "Jeter-esque" again today.

For shame.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Runz and Kz so far.

Nizzzzzzzze.

[Ceetar]

good game so far. Beltran two hits, Reyes a laser that was caught to save a run. Niese looking good. Starter over 53 pitches not yet through 3. They gotta play two tomorrow too. important.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice AB by Beltran to work the walk. Opportunity to blow open the game-- and the Rockies pen-- wide open.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Make like an only child and taketaketake, Willie.

[TransMonk]

Harris could have broken the game open right there.

But he didn't. 2-0 good guys, top 4.

[TransMonk]

Looks like anything hit to the outfield is going to be a defensive adventure tonight.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Galldurnit.

Harris should've walked on "strike" two.

[TransMonk]

I like this Murphy kid.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Doubles bonanza!



Murphy smoked that like a pork butt.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pole off the pole. Another lead taken away

[TransMonk]

Fucky, fuck, fuck.

Their shortstop is better than ours.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oh, dear.

We walk the eighth-place hitters with an 0-2 count and the bases empty.

We pitch to Troy Tulowitzki.

[TransMonk]

Anytime Harris wants to bat one of those guys in scoring position home with two out, he can go right ahead.

[Guest Edgy DC]

According to Gameday, Wright got that hit batting lefthanded.

First and third with no outs and Iko Iko at the plate.

Just gimme some contact, Iko.

[Fman99]

Good, I got Fgirl bedded down just in time to see the big rally.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Damn, Tulip. You don't have to win the whole MVP in this game.

[Fman99]

Nice sac (fly) by Angel, 5-4 bad guys lead.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm OK with one run there.

You think they can run with Beltran here?

It would appear not.

At least this way they clear Willie Harris.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Whiffing on pitches in the doit. Not the way of the future, I pray.

[Fman99]

David Murphy, glovesmith.

[TransMonk]

Murph playing great D!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Scott Hairston looks like absolute crap so far.
