Again, not to step on Monk's streak but...love those first inning runs!

KABOOM for Ike!

Mets score before we get up an IGT again? Procrastinators unite!

[Gwreck]

Jeez, Pelfrey.

Gets ahead of Nix 1-2 and then throws three fastballs high, not particularly close to the zone.

[Ceetar]

2-1 through 2. Pelfrey laboring, missing zone with fastballs, floating curves. but hey, the Phillies suck so they can't string together enough bleeders t oscore.

[Edgy MD]

Still, man, so great to see Davis' season finally under way.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Same Old Tall Glass of Water. Physically, he seems to have all the tools. It's got to be in the head.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe, but mechanical perfection and consistency isn't just born of the mind.

Meanwhile, stop bunting, world.

[Edgy MD]

Pelfrey hanging in there through five. One run allowed and 87 pitches in.

Meanwhile, Wright gets his average up to .600. .600!

[Edgy MD]

His stealing game, not so much.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Agreed it's not born of the mind but the mind is necessary to execute once/if the other pieces are in place. There are plenty of examples where athletes of "limited" physical ability produce because of the mind. There are many others where physically "superior" athletes never realize their potential -- generally due to shortcomings north of the shoulders.

Hey, it's Everybody-Wear-42 Day.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Or, as God tweeted today, "65 years ago today, Jackie Robinson became the Jackie Robinson of being the Jackie Robinson of something."

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Dammit. We pay for the wild pitch right there.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Dammit,again.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The magnanimous way to describe early returns on the Pagan trade is "inconclusive."

[nymr83]

Wright smoked that ball right at the guy, he's on fire right now!

[Edgy MD]

Rube trying to put this game beyond our reach.

[Edgy MD]

Walk to Rollins and it's Hunter Pence with the bags loaded.

[Gwreck]

I have the sick feeling that I'm not going to like how this ends.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Walking in runs sucks.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"I'm Acosta. I a-come to a-cost-a you any a-reasonable chance of a comeback."

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Real shit effort from Rube today. Careless error, didn't run out a near-fair drive, buncha K's...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It's as though he has no respect for Ron Hodges at all.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ugh the whole team is like, F you, Chuck Taylor.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hey, guys-- the Penguins-Flyers game is hilarious!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Wow, this inning turned into a CF.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hey, on the plus side, the Met team ERA stays nice and slim!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's go Red.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Sloppy game, Mets. We deserve a better effort.

[Fman99]

Yeah, BOO to Rotunda day. Eh, we'll get em in Hot Lanta tomorrow.
