2010: Ike tumbles over railings and comes up grinning

2011: Ike falls down not catching a popup and doesn't get up

We should put a railing up where he fell.



I think the team misses Wright the most.

I think I miss Johan the most.

[G-Fafif]

I still miss Joe Orsulak.

[Ceetar]

It should be noted that it's a 7:05 start. If you wait until 7:10 you'll have missed a Jose Reyes AB.

[G-Fafif]

Detroit: Five minutes ahead of the curve.

I do that all the time with out of town games, miss the first few ABs because I'm conditioned to turn the TV on at 7:10.
The pre-game stuff is just an excuse to get an extra 5 minutes of commercials in.

No, really. Who's playing DH tonight

I'll be happy to catch 'em by the toe.

And yeah, seeing that DH spot really pushes the "must trust Terry" mantra to the limit. If anything, I'd put him in right and move Beltran to DH.

And batting second!

[G-Fafif]

Is there some new rule I haven't heard about that says you can't use a DH to generate offense?

[ashie62]

How about Paulino at DH?

[Guest sharpie]

Mets scored 14 runs last time Harris was batting second at DH. Maybe that's the ticket.

[ashie62]

BACHMANN TURNER OVERDRIVE FOR DH!

Yeah, but the misconception of Harris as totally worthless is more fun.

Well, maybe not as much fun as scoring 14 runs...

[ashie62]

Reyes starts the Par-tee

[Guest themetfairy]

Back to back doubles from Muffy and Angel give the Mets a 2-0 lead!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets vs. Porcello:

Hairston: 0-3, 1 SO
Bay: 1-2, HR, 2 RBI, 1 SO

[ashie62]

Baysuck.

Well, he hit that one pretty hard. just..too level. Might want to elevate some of those sometimes, you know, like a power hitter.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is my kinda inning. 2 out, 0 on, then the floodgates open.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Relax, and let the game come to you, Maple Breath.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

(Jack Buck voice)I can't believe, what I just saw!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Do you feel it? There are monkeys and there are monkeys. That was the Planet of the Apes coming off the Mets' back.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Well, THAT was unexpected.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, I totally called the HR ahead of time ... only it was the Thole HR.

Jose is now more than half way to Rennie Stennet's 7-fer-7
