Do you agree with not moving Murphy to 3d while Wright recovers? He's better at 3B but Terry wants him to concentrate on 2B.

[Fman99]

Well fuck. This Wright injury hurts me in my brain/heart/cock/anus region.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

What an all-around turd of a game this is.

[Fman99]

Yep, it sucks a whole bag of cocks.

I'll take either way.

One of the cool things about Murphy at second is that it sneaks a better bat in at a position where lesser bats typically play. I accept that may be fool's gold, but it's no more-so or less-so today then yesterday, and it's no more-so or less-so with Wright at third or Lutz.

[Edgy MD]

And hey, Mets are on the board.

Murphy: -6.0

Now this is the Mets!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Stinky.

Am I allowed to give a minus 8.0 ?

[Piggiestomatoes]

I'll give a minus to Turner's glove, too. Cutting off Duda's throw, it looked like he realized he'd screwed up. Is there no back-up 1B? All things considered that was probably the least of the worries tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, although it didn't help that Duda wasn't exactly in position to throw and so got off a weak one from a spot that shouldn't even need a cut-off. And of course watching that catchable fly ball land for a double (or was it a triple?) earlier on makes him the #2 culprit of the night.

But, Geez, Murph did what at the plate?, something like: K, K, GiDP, Pop-Out -- and in the field managed to turn 3 potential DP balls into a grand total of two outs.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nag, the inadequacies of the Mets bench is a totally cromulemt topic.

[Frayed Knot]

3-1/2 hour game and it's still shorter than the Yanx/O's ... who are still going at it in the 9th.

[Edgy MD]

I pass the IGT baton at 4-1. I was hoping to make it to tomorrow. With one of the main things working against the Mets being a division full of aces and near-aces (kings?), tomorrow we face our first one.

Interestingly, I quasi-scientifically arrived at -6.02.

Interestingly to me, anyhow.

[Ceetar]

top of the 9th.

Times like that, you miss the color of Shea's seats.

really I just was just missing the 20000 units of body heat that would've allowed me to feel my fingers.

[TransMonk]

Bright side: still in 1st place and on pace to win 130 games.

Shady side: our depth and defense are wafer thin.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Hey, the Mets are still 3 games above .500.

Last night's first pitch:

Who is that? Fonzie?

yup.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Midweek, in April?

Fonzie STILL gets under-respected around these parts.

might've been his choice, who knows. Maybe he'll be back for his bobblehead.

He was doing a meet and greet or something at a bank yesterday afternoon too.
