[Ceetar]

Capuano looking a little wornout from last time.

[Frayed Knot]

Our offense held hostage: Day 2

[Ceetar]

oh look, like 17 hits in one innings and only one run. Thanks Bay!

[Ceetar]

If i read that correctly: 2000 was the last year the Mets had five pitchers win 10 games. who were they?

Leiter, Reed, Hampton, Rusch... who's the fifth? Dotel? Yoshii? Jones?

[seawolf17]

Rusch! He's the one I forgot. Jones, I think.

Wright tattooed that one... off the wall. I know it's old, but boy, it's getting old.

I liked Rusch. Yoshii wasn't actually on the team in 2000. I don't know why I always think he was. I think Dotel was a September call up, no way he won 10 that year (if any year)

Four other pitchers had at least 5 wins. Name them.

[Ceetar]

I'm generally against moving the wall for the sake of moving it, but if it's gonna give our captain a little piece of mind..

Turk, Cook. Franco?

Lucky Bay!

those three, one more

[Guest Edgy DC]

Braves announcers: "That says something about how the Mets feel about Reyes right now, that they're willing to give away an out to get him to second, rather than have him steal."

Edgy to self: "No, they've been doing that pretty much most of the year."

[Fman99]

Was 2000 Pat Mahomes' one good year?

[seawolf17]

No, that was 1999. Mahomes wasn't a Met in 2000, was he?

[Fman99]

Lucas Duda is the shit.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Put Duda in center if you need to. I'll live with it.

[DocTee]

Darren Oliver?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Beisbol! Dudafantastic!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Benitez didn't get that many decisions, diddy?

[Guest Edgy DC]

You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh,
Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the
whole brevity thing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Shmizzringhausen takes the mound.

Not sure why we have to lift Acostage.

Because someone looked at their watch and saw it was the 8th inning.

Now if he - and presumably Parnell - can keep runners off the bases we can get through the 9th without having to see Stanton and his triceps up at the plate.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

SugarPants goes all TwirlyJumpy to get the last two outs for Grandpa.

yup, he was. 5 wins that year. (5.46 ERA though)

4-4. lots of decisions, was his nature.



3 more outs. It's on you Bobby. (Think Dickey minds being called Robbie? Was just what I was thinking about today)

[Frayed Knot]

Bay should try that oppo-field thing a bit more often cuz when he does hit it that way he rarely seems to make outs.
(or maybe that's just my imagination ... once again, running away with me)

[Guest Edgy DC]

A bunt by Evans, I might have been OK with.

He effectively does that anyhow.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Jason Bay collects his third hit, and invites Mets fans to kick this football he's holding, which he'll totally never pull away at the last moment again.

[Frayed Knot]

Not sure what they're arguing about - Bay never came close.

Buck may have missed the tag.

[Fman99]

Terrible slide by Bay. This guy could fuck up a glass of water.
