Except, ummm, we won't play again until the 15th.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, well, I meant that.

[Ceetar]

Worley's pitching? I hadn't really looked ahead yet. Why? Not that I'm complaining, if I'm gonna sit (513, row 6) in the stands for pyrotechnics night and watch the Mets, I'd rather them face Worley.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He's on the schedule. That's all I know.

[Guest sharpie]

But if Worley pitches then our grandchildren won't get to hear tell of how we were there when the Mets set the all-time record for most consecutive games facing an All-Star pitcher.

Indeed, I was wondering that was merely cause he was next in the rotation or because Manuel'd announced it. Seems like he'd want to start off with Halladay-Lee again, despite the inning they threw Tuesday.

[Guest attgig]

this game can't come soon enough! i'm tired of all star breaks.... it almost seems like the all star break is worse torture than the baseball offseason.

[TransMonk]

The four day break is a killer. Blech.

[seawolf17]

I remember Worley destroying the Mets, but we've faced him twice and lit him up like a Christmas tree the second time.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ah, yes. A Sunday afternoon stomping, IIRC.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Shit, I thought there was a game all day today.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

MFYs getting hammered in Toronto, anyway.

If the shine is off the Colon, they could be in trouble.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Maybe an unanticipated side effect of the ASG no-show act is that the team pissed off the rest of their league and used up any congratulatory good will Jeter's opponents may have been allowing to creep into their cold hearts.

Maybe, but I'd hope teams that play them regularly realize how elitist they are already, although some quotes from the Rays seem to suggest otherwise.

16-7 is your final. Toronto stuck up sixteen runs despite hitting ZERO HRs.
And maybe I'm just paranoid, but it seems like everyone the Yanx play is suddenly missing their big star(s). So in keeping with that tradition Miguel Bautista left tonight's game with a turned ankle. He's listed as day-to-day which means he'll likely be fine once the Yanx plane clears Canadian airspace late Sunday.

[Gwreck]

Jose Bautista.

You might also have been confusing him with Tony Batista (remember him, with the big open stance?).

[Ceetar]

Miguel's that crappy reliever the Bisons just picked up.

Seriously. What is this, January? Let's play fucking baseball.

[Ceetar]

4-day break means one less game Reyes misses.

[TransMonk]

Predict prior to game time:

1. Who gets the save tonight? (None is an accecptable answer.)

2. David's playing five innings tonight in PSL. What's his boxscore line?

[Guest Edgy DC]

3. Who will be wearing a beard? (Smart money says Murphy's didn't survive the break.)

No save. 8-1 Mets.

2. 1 AB, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 BB

[Gwreck]

David goes 0-1 with a walk in his 5 innings.

Jason Isringhausen gets the save tonight.

[seawolf17]

Manny Acosta gets the save with three innings of mop-up work in a 26-3 win.

Wright goes two-for-two with a pair of home runs.
