[Ceetar]

where are you people?

3-kaboom from Wright. Gee with a nice behind his back double play.

[Ceetar]

This game's all about Wright so far. Diving stop to save a run, fakes a throw to first and tags out Maybin rounding third.

Now..about this Wright fellow....

[Ceetar]

in game around the majors. I heard A-Rod got booed when he dropped a pop-up during rehab in Scranton. classy AAA yank fans.. Although I guess plenty of them are actually Pirates/Phillies fans.

[ashie62]

Isn't Arod just kinda universally booed on principle?

[bmfc1]

3 great defensive plays so far: Pridie, Gee and David.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Gee's hanging in there, would be nice to get a few more runs just the same.

Great play by Wrighty.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wacky and Wild, almost Wooly.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, that's OK guys, I got it.

Acosta now facing hairiness

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Whiffs Bartlett on high heat with the bags juiced.

4-1 good guys.

[Fman99]

Are we allowed to get insurance runs? I feel all naughty here.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pads deserve it. All 3 runs were walked on base.

[Ceetar]

1-2-3- domination from Parnell 101 and now Duda supposedly gets robbed of a homer.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Is that a Reagan-Bush campaign sweatshirt on the dude behind home plate?

AND a "USA" cap? Did he lose a bet on the Iowa straw poll?

supposedly he finally put on something Mets in the 8th inning.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

In the books!

I'm having a hard time believing that there isn't anyone better than Iragashi at Buffalo. He's just awful.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

If you're gonna use Igarashi that was the spot, but geez, can't wait till we put him in the books. His worthlessness has reached Newhanian levels.

[Ceetar]

Some people call this a behind-the-back-stop. We call it "Gee force" ... atmlb.com/osu9RQ

lame joke by the MLB twitter, but after I've been criticizing the Mets pitchers' fielding, nice play by Gee.

He should have used his purse to catch it.*




*Or is that just for on the base paths?

yeah. When he's in the field he has the third base coach hold onto his makeup case.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Mets win. Braves lose.

Braves magic number to guarantee finishing ahead of the Mets --- 28.

Though the Mets aren't mathematically eliminated from the 2011 playoffs, the odds that the Mets make the playoffs, according to Baseball Prospectus, are 0.0%

[G-Fafif]

Listened intermittently to Bud Black's nightmarish late afternoon as night fell on Central Islip. Great night for the Ducks, too, in Mrs. F's and my maiden voyage to Whatever It's Called Now Park. Obviously we need to sign Mike Loree and have him here by September 1 if not sooner. We'll send the Ducks some warm body in exchange. Ryota Igarashi will love Suffolk County.
