Shit, maybe they'll play.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mes lead, 1-0 on a Reyes single, a Turner dubble, and a Bay sacrifice fly.

[Guest themetfairy]

Niese is at bat - we want a triple!

[Guest themetfairy]

I guess not. Still 1-0 after four.

================================

D-Dad noticed the advertisements for the soccer match and could practically hear Pete Flynn's tears over what it's going to do to the field.

[Ceetar]

official. let it rain, i'm sleepy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The Dodge Charger back-to-back challenge is one hell of a stacked deck.

"Do the Mets have to hit a homer for you to win?"

"Yeah, but they have to hit in that inning."

"Oh, but then you win?"

"No, they have to hit another."

"Two in one inning?"

"Yup."

"That's rare, isn't it?"

"Pretty rare."

"But then you win?"

"No, they have to hit them consecutively."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously."

"But then you win."

"No, they have to be the first two batters of the inning."

"You're fucking with me."

"Nope."

"Has that ever happened for the Mets."

"Probably. Maybe. I don't know. Once or twice, I guess."

"In how many games?"

"Do I look like Greg Prince? About 8,000, More or less."

"But then you win?!"

"if they pick your name out of a hat before the inning."

"Damn. Just what kind of car is a Dodge Charger."

"A piece of shit. Why?"

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bay whiffed in a big spot by his ol' Bucco teammate.

Maybe his wife needs to have another bayby.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bay needs to be hitting second.

For Buffalo.

[Ceetar]

those challenges are always silly. Triple play was popular for a while, there was a cycle one for a bit..

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I also don't like Muffy hitting 5th vs. a lefty.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey, next inning we should try to leave two men on or something -- 8 LOBsters thru 5 innings.

[Frayed Knot]

Gutsy play by Muffy

Our list of options is short. What's the main alternative? Paulino? Pascucci? Tatis?

Just be happy Wilson Ramos is batting fourth for the Nats (and whiffs to end the inning as I type this).

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hairston has been hitting some mighty powerful fouls against this team.

Straighten it out, Scotty.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Jerry. Eat that ball. Your brother won that round.

Evans. Even Paulino or Hairy in the BA.

[Frayed Knot]

Got the leadoff guy on. Now just one more and we can leave them both on.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Boy it is pouring out there right now.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Justin
Turner
Friggin
Overdrive

[Guest Edgy DC]

Man, Reyes just smells home plate and tracks it down.

[Frayed Knot]

I'm gonna break out the hats and hooters since Jose came home.



Justin Turner is a red-headed God!!

[Frayed Knot]

We need one more out here and we need it NOW!!!!

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew! Niese gets out of the bases loaded jam unscathed.

I'm pretty sure I could see Niese's collarbone through his uniform, he's so drenched. There's ponding in the infield.

Shouldn't the fact that they're playing tomorrow-- on a short turnaround, no less-- play into the umps' thinking?

[Frayed Knot]

OK, time to call this game

[Frayed Knot]

Phils win 2-1 over Rox as Madson Ks Giambi with 2-on in the 9th.

O's tally one against Mariano after Colon tossed an 8-inning 3-hit shutout. 1-1 heading for 10th

[Fman99]

Gotta wonder what the crew chief is thinking out there. The next game starts in 15.5 hours, boys.

(And Fboy and I will be there and if you're a CPF'er I'll buy you a beer if you come find me you bastards!)

[Fman99]

Stop waving and put your phone away, ass. We see you.

[Guest themetfairy]

Fman - when are you guys getting there?

I can give you guys a mini tour of the place if you like. I know you've been there before, but I don't know how much you have and haven't seen (e.g., the Shea base markers in the parking lot).
