Seriously , how is that lineup ten games over .500?

[Guest Edgy DC]

A handful of All Star pitchers carrying them there.

I was kinda thinking Willie Harris tonight.

[metirish]

Ruin reports that for a fourth straight day Hairston is working at first base.

As Edgy pointed out, it's all about the pitching in San Francisco. The Giants are next to last in runs scored in the NL. Their pitching however, has been very good. Not Philadelphia Phillies good, but very good.

Gotta love that Adam Ruin. Good Jewpunk name.

I would have loved to have Hairston get some first base work in a few weeks back. Now, I'm all about Evans vs the lefties.

[metirish]

Not turning double plays will kill you in the end.

[Lefty Specialist]

Even crappy offensive teams will score when you give them 3 extra outs in an inning.

Do you like Evans over Duda against lefties?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I like Shakira over Duda against lefties.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cool job working a 10-pitch walk by Beltran.

[metirish]

Rodriguez has switched agents and is now with Boras.

Mets catch a break

[ashie62]

And Murphy swings at the first pitch into a DP. What a fuktard.

That made me smile.

[ashie62]

These games without Reyes and our AAAA lineup are bo-ring.

When does the fire sale start??

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nobody's forcing you to watch.

(I presume. If I'm wrong, blink twice.)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Do it again, Scott.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Substitute beard to face him.

[ashie62]

No, no one is forcing me, yet I feel as if I have no choice.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The sacking up of a team without their best players is the story of this season. It's amazin'. (Just not tonight.)

Ashie was begging for the selloff last year too.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That's what I'm saying... this is NOT a season for moping. It's a holy-crap-THESE-guys-can-do-THIS? celebration.

(Do try to keep in mind: this is a 4-2 West Coast trip WITH tonight's loss. Without Wright, Reyes, Davis, or Santana.)

OH NO YOU DI INT

The appropriate response to this jibe would be "Your mom!"

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I'm missing something about the complaint of "having" to watch AAA players and then wanting a sell-off in the same breath.
You do realize that selling off players usually imports less than AAA players, right?
If only we could arrange things so as to add something along the likes of Reyes, Wright, Davis, and Santana in the next few weeks ... oh wait!!


The biggest problem last night - aside from trying to score more than once off Lincecum - was that the Giants hit five infield grounders/bouncers in GiDP situations and the Mets, while committing no official errors, turned those potential ten outs into a total of four.

[ashie62]

If the Mets are going to be treading come late July they might as well get what they can for Beltran & Rodriguez and Pelfrey, maybe even Paulino.

[MFS62]

About the two baseball teams that left New York and moved west.
I want to beat Los Angeles, but I hate to lose to San Francisco.

Late

Do you have a link per chance?

[Guest Edgy DC]

If you're actually denying it, I'd be happy to look. But come on.
