[HahnSolo]

This is one of those 4 1/3 IP, 110 pitch outings for Pelf isn't it?

There's a lot of pressure on him. He's a finalist for Schaefer Mets Pitcher of the Month and it's the last day of the month.

not responding well to the pressure, is he?

[Guest attgig]

horrible throw by pagan...

[TransMonk]

Ah, holy hell...

Walks kill.

[Fman99]

Fuck you Pelf.

[bmfc1]

Pelfrey with a fastball down the middle to put the Mets in a hole. This messes up the bullpen for tomorrow.

No, because he won't last that long.

[bmfc1]

Are we gonna hear "Pelfrey can't work with Thole"?

[TransMonk]

Down 3 against Verlander is a tall order.

Luckily, there is still 6 innings to play and Verlander has already thrown 54 pitches.

He's got a pretty small sample with Thole...but the splits aren't even close.

I think it's more Pelfrey can't work with Pelfrey.

I trust that everybody enjoyed Guys! interview with a Detroit Lion while the game was on.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

DooDoo flied out to deep right with 2 on to end the last inning, my computer says. How deep?

[TransMonk]

Per Gameday, it didn't make the track.

it carried to right in front of the track at the 'triangle' where the wall goes deeper.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Just focus on getting the one here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oops. Gets Pridie on the change.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

On the plus side, that pitch count's climbing!

('Cause, y'know, it does that a guy strikes out a shit-ton of hitters.)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fart machine. Two strikeouts ends the rally.

[TransMonk]

Pelfrey gives up a dinger to Dirks.

5-1 bad guys. Pelfrey gone after 4 2/3. Pitcher of the month, my ass.

Ends up at 4 2/3 innings, 109 pitches.

[TransMonk]

Alright, the comeback starts NOW!!!

Or a Miguel Cabrera-aided triple.

[TransMonk]

This does not seem to be our game.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, boy.

[smg58]

What happened?

[TransMonk]

Duda thrown out at the plate on a fly out.

The second time today the Mets have gone from a runner in scoring position with no outs to nobody on and two outs on one swing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think we need a Superlatives for Andy Dirks thread.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, Reyes at the plate vs. Benoit. Things look good.

Just caught the replay.

Great throw... but Avila's plate-blocking is what did it.
