Someone said Lutz, Valdespin, Rottino all in the lineup for Buffalo, indicating no DLNA anyway.

Holy Catalanotto! The third baseman has to bat third!

[batmagadanleadoff]

If the season ended yesterday, the Mets would be traveling to Phoenix for a one game do or die qualifying game against the D-Backs.

Speaking of Catalanotto, did anyone notice that he is now a special contibutor to Metsblog. Freaky!

Good news for Tuiasosopo!

[Benjamin Grimm]

If I can learn how to spell Nieuwenhuis (and I have!) then, if necessary, I can learn how to spell Tuiasosopo.

[Frayed Knot]

It's spelled exactly as it sounds.

[Ceetar]

sounds like DL likely for Wright, who still can't swing/swollen pinky. Will try again tomorrow, but who knows if one day suddenly makes a difference.

Collins apparently confirms Murphy would go to third, Cedeno/Turner at second which seems like the universally panned move by critics. I support Murphy-Lutz in the infield myself.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Murphy at third and Turner at second seems the way to go to me.

Sounds like that's what they do, but i guess it depends on the roster move too.

I just don't see that providing enough improvement in the run prevention dept to make up for not getting Murphy the extra two weeks of 2B reps.

I, too, am #TeamLutzphy.

I'm thinking the Turner-third thing might be an effort to go lefty-righty all the way down the pipe. (An attempt to counteract the secretly-pretty-good Philly 'pen?)

[Ceetar]

Can we call Zack lutZ ZZ?

[Gwreck]

As we learned from the Delgado game at the old house of evil, Blue
hats on the road means good offensive things.

Nice to have those early hits against Lee.

[Ceetar]

Just as Gary's talking about all Lee's shutouts, double double and 1-0.

[Gwreck]

KABOOM for...do my eyes deceive me...Jason Bay!

[batmagadanleadoff]

Oh my god! Bay did something good.

Nice start against Philthy.

[ashie62]

WTG Thole..wake up

[bmfc1]

Thole is a moron.

[Gwreck]

Josh, you're riding the bench for the rest of the series.

[Ceetar]

Did Rollins mouth something? Hard to tell..I'll wait to see what Thole says (taht said, don't listen to the freaking enemy and drill Rollins please)

Bay with an outfield assist too?

[Gwreck]

Most likely answer is that Rollins told Thole not to slide because the play was at first. Thole, like an idiot, thought it was foul and jogged back to first.

[Frayed Knot]

MURPH TURNED A DP!!!

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Hairston homers and dang if the Philly crowd isn't really quiet.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That was a big ol' shot.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Jeez, Dickey even fields like an old-timey baseballer, doesn't he?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Rally Averted.
