C'mon Jason. Lean into one.

[metsmarathon]

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yee_hah! Fuck you MFYs!

[Frayed Knot]

Life matters again.

[bmfc1]

Fantastic win. You gotta be happy for Bay.

[MFS62]

Thank you, Jason.
I can face all the YLDBs in my office on Tuesday.

Jason Bay - Canadian-American Hero!

[G-Fafif]

I hummed "O Canada" for the entirety of Jason Bay's 9th-inning at-bat, followed it with every patriotic hymn or at least American-themed song I could think of for every Mets hitter who followed and then came back with an encore in the tenth.

Another great Canadian song:

Thole, actually. Their beards are making them close, though.

[metirish]

I was certain it was Pridie

Thole retracted!

[metirish]

Checked with the FAFIF technical committee, which is as baffled as anybody, and we agree you're owed an adult beverage from our makegood committee.

And maybe a towelful of shaving cream if you're into that sort of thing.

AdamRubinESPN RT @Ledger_NYMets: Tejada thought ball was foul. Said Beltran: "It's not a big deal . . At the same time, my job is just to let him know ...

I was thinking when Terry sent Paulino in for Thole that that's a move Manual wouldn't have been so quick to make. Even though it's a classic lefty/righty swap that Jerry loved*, he would have tended to keep his reserve catcher in for the 19th inning which probably wouldn't have come on account of him being too wimpy to use his reserve catcher even in a last-ditch effort to tie the game. In summary, while it's hard to call it a great move, it's certainly not one we've gotten used to seeing around here.

Liked that he left KRod in for a 2nd inning also. Again, with the pitcher leading off that kind of move should be a no-brainer, but of course Jerry never would have had him in in the first place on account of the Mets being behind and/or tied.






* on edit - actually it wasn't even a classic R/L switch because it was against Mariano. It's well known that he's even tougher on LHBs but I suspect that would have been too much for Jerry to contemplate.

[Gwreck]

In fairness to Jerry, I think even he got the concept that in a tie game at home, the closer comes in to pitch in the 9th inning.

[Fman99]

Wow, missed the whole exciting finish. We were driving north for a cookout and listening on XM, when we got there the good guys were down 2-1 in the 8th. I didn't even bother to check my phone to see what happened.

Yay for us.

[ashie62]

I was heading back up north also and missed the finish...What a win.

Saw the replay of Duda rumbling home-Priceless!

You might want to re-phrase 'full facial" lol.

Jerry also has it on his track record to pinch-hit catcher-for-catcher when down to his last out.
