[TransMonk]

Muffy drives in 2 with his 5th straight hit.

2-0 good guys.

"It goes way back. Paul Revere was the first sign-stealer."

Best Ralph-ism ever?

[TransMonk]

Tejada face-plants after tripping at first base. Out of the game.

[nymr83]

They are saying on the radio Tejada is banged up badly after tripping or trying to slide into 1B
I hope he is ok, and I hope he tripped because sliding into 1st instead of running through the bag is stoooooopid

[TransMonk]

Turner is your shortstop...and the dumb ass who makes the third out at third base.

3-0 good guys.

Tejada was trying to slow up because there was not going to be a play and caught his toe in the dirt. Fell on his face.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Ouch!

But Josh drives in a run with Turner out at third.

[HahnSolo]

Ugly fall. Turner at short is a concern.

[TransMonk]

Right quad strain for Tejada.

Davis tries another railing flip, but doesn't make the play.

He turned two well enough. Not sure I'd want him there long-term, but so far so good.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, Turner should ideally be your third option at SS, not the 2nd.
Didn't realize that they had demoted Valdespin in favor of Carrasco prior to the game.
Can't bring Valdespin back for 10 days unless they DL Tejada (or someone else).


Meanwhile, I see where they've got action going in the bullpen but, in my mind, R.A. needs to fall apart big time before I even think about yanking him from this game.

[Theoldmole]

Any word on seriousness of Tejada injury?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Dickey in for the ninth, gives up a run -- and is gone.

[Frayed Knot]

WHEW!
The Kubel fly to LF looked innocent enough but that Montero shot at the end scared the snot out of me.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

In the books! Let the flag wave!

[ashie62]

Tejada to receive MRI of quad and have an eye checked. DL likely per Rotoworld.
