Kinda cool

@AnthonyDiComo: All #Mets starters will be using Beastie Boys songs as their walk-up music tonight. --

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Would that we could get more hits than Saduharu Oh.

Extremely cool. The Beastie Boys are (were) of course big Mets fans.

[Gwreck]

Pretty crappy trip to the plate by Duda there.

[Gwreck]

But very nice 2 run double from Hairston. LGM

[Edgy MD]

Rallying in the fifth here by knocking the ball of Diamondback gloves.

[Edgy MD]

Hairston hits a lot of foull homers, man.

[Frayed Knot]

Scott Hairston: Man put on this earth to maul left-handers

[Edgy MD]

Now that was a successful mound visit by Warthan.

[Ceetar]

5 pitch domination by Pelfrey. 1-2-3 7th.

[Frayed Knot]

Ike still fighting for his right to suck.

[Fman99]

Fucking tattooed Wookie coming in and shitting on my game.

How many beers?

Meanwhile, some bullpen blues and we go from up 4-2 to down 5-4.

Let the starters ride.

[Edgy MD]

Come on. Don't let Hernandez get out of this game unscarred.

[Edgy MD]

Interesting to see Valdespin be the pinch-runner and not Nieuwenuis.

[Edgy MD]

Bunting? Booing!

at that point? none.

Parnell. :-P

[Ceetar]

0-2 to Davis..*sigh*

and Ks. good job..

[Ceetar]

hit for Torres, first and second. Thole up. Valdespin steals third.

[Edgy MD]

And Thole lines out to end it.

During that at-bat for Davis, I felt a slump turn into a crisis.

[Edgy MD]

Reports from the game is that lots of Beasties records have been played between innings.

Shea Stadium, the radium, EMD squared
Kicked out of the Palladium, ya think that I cared?

[Fman99]

God, do I love the Beastie Boys. Fucking hell, this day. C'mon, you Mets, Newey, get it started.

[Edgy MD]

Come on. Don't let Putz get out of this game unscarred.

[Fman99]

Ugh. Losing streaks suck.

[MFS62]

Tomorrow the Asps are starting a kid lefty up from AA.
Any day now teams will be digging up recently deceased lefthanders to start them against the Mets.

Later

Two gorgeous posts there.

As usual, my complaint is going to the pen when the starter is getting the job done.
