[ashie62]

Winning today would ensure taking another series on the road. Since when is Phil Coke a starter?

Since this year. Not very good.

[Frayed Knot]

He's not the real thing.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Well I took care of business on Tuesday, willing the team to victory. Now I'm passing the torch to Gwreck for the rest of the series!

[G-Fafif]

Leyland's next nightmare:

Jose Reyes � SS
Justin Turner � 3B
Carlos Beltran � RF
Ronny Paulino � C
Jason Bay � LF
Angel Pagan � CF
Scott Hairston � DH
Daniel Murphy � 1B
Ruben Tejada � 2B

Chris Capuano - LHP

vs.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That's Ronny "Cleanup" Paulino to you, sir.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Murphy from cleanup to eighth? OK!

[Theoldmole]

Is he Classic Coke or New Coke?

He's been pitching lately like that bottle of Coke you find in the back of the fridge that's been there for about a month with the cap not screwed on tight --flat.

[ashie62]

I am willing Paulino to hit a moonshot tonight like he did at Citi last week.

[Ceetar]

Sizzle.

or, let's deep fry him?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That HAS to be a Texas State Fair creation, I reckon.

[Ceetar]

Game starts. Mets start with a player on base, as per the rules of baseball.

[Guest Edgy DC]

About his 13th straight time on base, says my slightly distorted worldview.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Singlhanded run by Reyes, and our new cleanup hitter gets a hit just to say "I totally could have driven him in on my own."

10/11 so you're not even far off. 6 in a row.

[ashie62]

Scott Hairston with a bases clearing triple.

I love the DH!

[Ceetar]

Jose-Jose chant in Detroit.

gwreck?

[Guest attgig]

on fire. he'll take ugly swings and still come up with the hit

[Ceetar]

Sky is blue.

turner up with a runner on first. (to start)

[Ceetar]

tack on run by Pagan thanks to a Bayrun. walk and a stolen base.

[Ceetar]

Rayburn breaks it up with a homer, so no breaking another drought tonight.

[Guest attgig]

dangit. i was secretly hoping for the mets first perfect game... :-P

Yeah, if he's chasing the high pitch these days, he gets a foul ball instead of the swing-and-miss or popout he used to get.

[bmfc1]

Unrelated to the IGT but TFB... Ceetar: thanks for suggesting who to vote for at AL SS.

Most definitely New Coke.

When reached for comment, Tom Murphy remarked that he thinks Murph's beard makes Murph look "a little like an Amish idiot without a degree."

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reyes makes his first two outs since Sunday with one swing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, babies, the Tiggs have two hits and they've gone about 900 feet between them. Five-two.

Stay on task, Mets.

More like Coke Zero after that 1st inning.
