They have fake girlfriends on the bases?

[G-Fafif]

Jemile slick on the DP. And Thole nearly gets hit on the slide...and not in the good way.

[ashie62]

Coco Crisp batting third? Oye..

[Guest Edgy DC]

Surprising that hit got through Godfrey.

[G-Fafif]

A lovely hole it found.

[G-Fafif]

Meanwhile Caps makes like a wriggle man as he wriggles out of bases-loaded jam to keep it 2-0.

[Frayed Knot]

Klutch K for Kapuano w/the bags full of A's and 2/out.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Landon Powell sounds like a soap opera doctor or maybe a co-star with Brock Landers and Chest Rockwell.

[TransMonk]

Wayne and Howie are talking about how one of the Rangers radio announcers is a big Mets fan. I didn't know that was allowed.

[TransMonk]

7 Ks for Cappy through 5.

[TransMonk]

Muffy scores Reyes to pad the lead to three.

Rangers hockey or Rangers baseball?
The first would be somewhat common, the latter kind of unusual.

[TransMonk]

Baseball...they were saying how thrilled he was to be able to visit Shea for the last time when the Rangers came in 2008.

Eric Nadel grew up in Brooklyn a Dodgers fan per wiki. He's been with the Rangers since 1979. I have to think the FAN booth was overstating his Mets fandom.

From a blogger's interview: "I rooted for the Brooklyn Dodgers, because I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. But they moved to LA in 1958 when I was 7. I continued rooting for them from long distance. But when the N Y Mets came into existence in 1962, I became a Mets fan and went to a lot of their games. I also went to Yankee games, but rooted against them."

[TransMonk]

Capuano will be pulled for a pinch-hitter...might be hurt.

Either way, he will wake up tomorrow with an ERA under 4. Not too shabby.

[G-Fafif]

Jose takes advantage of dropped-foul hospitality with an RBI singe.

[TransMonk]

Aonther error leads to another Mets run.

[TransMonk]

Right side abdomen discomfort for Cappy caused him to be lifted.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Put him in a girdle for six weeks then reevaluate.

Maybe he shouldn't have gone to the Shake Shack during the rain delay....

[Guest attgig]

last few outings by cap have been great. i hope he's ok.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Is that former Met Chris Clark at first for the A's? I didn't know where he would resurface.

It's Chris Carter ... but not the ex-NYM Chris Carter.
This one is larger, and blacker, ... and gooder.

nope. this is highly touted power hitting prospect Chris CARTER that's on the A's. a black/righty hitting Chris Carter who's ~6'5"/250

I believe Chris "the animal" CARTER is on the braves...

[Guest attgig]

and like always... Scotty H looks lost on pitches down in the zone.

[TransMonk]

Books.

This game should have been over two hours ago!
