Huey Lewis leaves good Met vibes behind at PNC. Ain't no livin' in a perfect world, but three of four would be nice.

Maybe .500 or two games below .500? Don't want be in for "bust" just yet.

Well, I've in for the bust since January, but you're right...just an expression.

[Ceetar]

Wayne Hagin claims Pelfrey is going to debut his cutter today. First I've heard that, but I doubt he's making it up?

[Ceetar]

Pelfrey gives up an unearned run on a ridiculous obstruction call. Not only was Reyes not in the baseline (rule is 3 feet from the line between the bases) he stepped out of the way. Stupid umps.

While running this evening, "I Want A New Drug" came on my Slacker radio.

I'm not a Huey Lewis guy, so it was weird...I consider it a sign. Of what, I don't know.

Could very well be a sign.

Or the pharmaceutical industry just keeps getting more insidious.

Charming - SNY is back to showing the fucking "Jeter's Got An Edge" ads.

I've seen three different ones so far.

Jeter's got an edge, but I have a mute button.

Once again, Murphy shows us that while he can hit, he is bad in every other phase of the game. Idiot.

If you're referring to his extra-curricular activities, I don't know. If you're commenting on his pitching ability, yes he does. He should be another teams AAA pitcher.

[Guest themetfairy]

I'm giving Carrasco some beer for stranding three inherited runners.

[TransMonk]

The end of that game was yucky.

The beginning wasn't great either as Pelfrey wasn't quite sharp and the umpires were on hallucinagins.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not a good showing for Team Plays-The-Game-The-Right-Way.

Muffy's dumb plays and physical shortcomings have cost us about three games already this year.

[Frayed Knot]

Duda's dumbth didn't help either.
And even though I'm certainly not going to throw back his hit, he basically reached for a 2-0 pitch which he hit weakly but got lucky that it found a hole. Not a great swing/approach especially since he was up there in that situation to, if he got ahead in the count, pick out a pitch and mash the snot out of it.


Disappointing game/series although the game 2 loss was worse than this one.
