That line up gives me flu-like symptoms.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Don't get Murphy batting claeanup against a lefty.

On the other hand, Scott Hairston is in the three-hole, so...

And the only prescription is more cowbell..

[Guest attgig]

everytime Niese pitches in a national broadcast, they have to mention that he was born in oct 27, 1986

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hairum, scarem!

[ashie62]

Happy Hairston making Terry look good.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not for nothing but it's a shame they couldn't have driven Hairy home there. They only had the 4-5-6 hitters to try it.

The ball he hit last night had a fever of about 435'

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Muffy hit that one a long way. 5-zip.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nick the Stick does the Trick.

[bmfc1]

How 'bout that Nick Evans (hat tip to Edgy).

[Frayed Knot]

5 or 6 more runs and I'll start to feel good about this one.

[Guest attgig]

nick needs more playing time and hit higher in the order

He may get that after 8/1

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Great win for the good guys, first solid game in a while.

We're getting good at beating lefties.

[G-Fafif]

Utterly awesome day at ballpark next to where Shea used to be, highlighted by Scott Hairston's Metamorphosis into an offensive badass and the tasteful pregame gathering at the Shea home plate marker to remember Dana Brand. There was some speaking, some reading, some RC Cola and a several stalks of balloons (blue and orange, natch) launched into the Flushing sky. One of them obviously blinded Ryan Howard in the first inning. Good day to be a Mets fan.

Tip of the hat to Collins, whose Terry-rigged lineup cards I should know better than to doubt. Wow! The mighty neck of Scott Hairston delivers.

[Frayed Knot]

Hairston remind anyone a bit of Xavier Nady?
Decent though hardly great RH bat that, while nothing special defensively, is versatile enough to make him useful to have around. All of which is packed into a (maybe) 6-foot body that's power-lifter strong and capable of producing second-deck HRs.
