Head Explosion Alert:

Gary Cohen thinks that if there was ever a movie made about Bob Murphy, he (Cohen) should be played by Steve Buscemi.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Vocally and lookswise, Buscemi's MUCH more of a Howie, methinks.





Meanwhile, if you were casting this game as a movie, you'd probably have to go with a bunch of dancing bears in Met unis.

[Frayed Knot]

Would be a much better game so far if:
- our fielders could field
- the pitcher could bunt
- the 1-2-3 hitters could get the ball out of the infield

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Holy hell. What's the kanji for "unconditional release?"

[bmfc1]

Igarashi is a real test of my Mets fandom.

"Igarashi" is Japanese for "Pelfrey".

[Frayed Knot]

I was surprised they sent Harris there with no outs and all.
Fortunately the relay throw was botched otherwise there might have been a play.

Fun thought experiment (courtesy of Patrick Flood the other day):

Would you rather have every Mets game you ever watch again be a late-season Mets-Marlins game from Sun Life/Joe Robbie/Soilmaster...

... Or watch a normal Mets schedule, but with Mike Pelfrey pitching every day?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Harris scores from first after starting flat-footed, while Reyes can't do the same from second on a single. Strange times...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Duda embarrassed. SugarPants for the block.

[bmfc1]

LWFS: Wow, that's a tough one. Either is scary.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jason Bay! Fuck Yeah!
Coming again to save the motherfuckin day

[bmfc1]

Holy crap! Who expected that?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jason Bay, sweet Jason Bay
Save the motherfucking day
Costs more than the whole of Shea
But today I sing of Jason Bay

[Guest Edgy DC]

David Wright, O David Wright
Gets the yips when games get tight
His bobbled balls and throws in flight
Are signatures of David Wright

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

fudge

[Guest Edgy DC]

Onsie.

[Frayed Knot]

Get me the head of LaHair
lefty-swinging LaHair
line-driving, go-'head running,
got pinched-ran for LaHair

[Guest Edgy DC]

Twosie, baby.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

oh my

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Reed Johnson, did that stupid excuse for a beard help you out at all there?
I don't think so!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hoo boy. My bum's a-squeakin'.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nonesie.

[ashie62]

Cmon Parnell!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, I dunno about that

[bmfc1]

Fuck you Terry.

[Gwreck]

Baaaaaaaaaad job by Terry there. Situation cried out for an intentional walk. As Ron noted on the broadcast, Campana is "half the hitter" that Ramirez is.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, you game-cock, you ruiner of good things.

The only down-side was bringing the possibility of the bases-loaded walk into play, but that's not enough of an excuse in my mind.

[bmfc1]

I guess Terry was afraid of Parnell walking the next batter w/the bases loaded but if you believe that then Parnell shouldn't be pitching. FU Terry.
