IGT July 25 Mets at Reds

Hope the season never ends.

I don't really think that was related to some Rodriguez, so much. He got two bad breaks on batted balls, and then he pitched around the guy he wanted nothing to do with.

The wages of relief pitching is stress.

not that Rodriguez didn't have his fair share of bad breaks.

I'm pretty certain that wasn't what was meant by "That was Frankie-esque...."

Wayne drove me nuts with that Bruce call as well. On the other hand, I missed him and Howie when my batteries died on my run while Parnell was pitching. I was able to get 5 or 10 seconds of game by turning the radio on before the batteries died again, and I did that over and over for 4 miles until Izzy got the last out a few blocks from the end.

What a piece of work Muffy is.

It's like he's still a graceless freak over there, but he never gives up on anything, and certainly doesn't give up on himself --- even after others (coughJerrycough) have. It's like he's living in the ongoing afterglow of a spirited pep talk from Gary Carter.

But man, crushes a double and gets thrown out at 3rd; delivers a big hit in the decisive rally but nearly gives it away with an inexplicable cutoff.

He's an adventure!

I look forward to a world when he's stealing time from people instead of having to pick up after a disaster, which is where the majority of his MLB playing time has come --- picking up after injuries to Alou and Pagan in 2008, Delgado in 2009, and Evans in 2011, taking a moment to give back to the community by getting disastrously hurt himself in 2010. I fear this world, roamed night and day by Murphy the Supersub rather than Murphy the Misbegotten, exists not but in my head.

Wait'll you see the replay on his play at 1st.

Kevin Mitchell didn't deck anyone, Gary Carter didn't pivot on a 3-5-4 and Jesse Orosco wasn't seen in the outfield, but that was a pretty darn good NYM @ CIN game.
