ARE YOU READY FOR LOVE?

We're getting that rookie drunk after the game!

Did Valdespin score that one too?

[soupcan]

Very cool! That was fun to watch!

[smg58]

Awesome.

I get the feeling that Valdespin won't see another low inside fastball any time soon. He totally crushed that one.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Valde's swing looked like Ichiro. Very nice.

[Frayed Knot]

We owed them that one for the one that Galvis hit in the earlier series.
Don't think that dude's had a knock since.

[soupcan]

So how many Mets is that whose first ML hit was an HR?

[Piggiestomatoes]

Nice tag Ike!

[Frayed Knot]

Caught by the long arm of the Ike.

And Howie's right. The extended at-bats have to get the assist there.



Oh, and that homer was for Josh.

PANTHURR SWIPE BUNT TAG

[TransMonk]

THAT is how winning teams play ballgames against a divisional ace!

Nice game.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Another happy recap!

Frankie Frankie / neat and clean

Great job by the forum tonight. It's been a long time since it's took me five tries to submit a post.

[Fman99]

Great comeback win for the good guys.

SOMEBODY LEFT THE GATE OPEN!

[Guest themetfairy]

An instant Mets Classic!

[smg58]

Best Mets win of the year so far.

we can 'fastforward to the top of the 9th' and skip the 8th right?

[Frayed Knot]

Had people over early so I wound up DVR'ing this one and started watching it about 45 minutes late.
I had to stay out of the IGT until I caught up in the 8th inning so wound up seeing the best parts live.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, How 'bout Charlie switching out Layce Nix before he ever got to hit in favor of his minor league journeyman/3rd catcher with the go-ahead runs on base in a L/R situation?!!?

Apparently the guy has good minor league stats but only 2 ABs this year at the MNL level.

Typical that I listen to 8 innings on the radio before leaving work at 10 and I miss THAT in the top of the 9th and need to read about it here. Whens the SNY rerun?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That was great.

6 and 11 tomorrow.

It was alluded to earlier in the thread. But let me post these word for all to savor.
You guys (I was at work, too) witnessed a Murphy-to-Turner-to-Davis double play.
If Valdespin gets the starts at short until Tejada returns, that could be come a rarity.

Bandmates. No one's driving the band's wagon anymore. We need another drummer, too.

Some game, huh?

From that 2010 Daily News Cover? Eh.

Better than the trip to Philly that that cover dates from.
