I copied and pasted from Adam Rubin!

[bmfc1]

Sounds like a perfect day Ceetar... bring home a win.

[Guest themetfairy]

BIG Ka-Boom for Hairston!

3-0 Mets.

[nymr83]

RUN SUPPORT!

Now let's chase Richard and tire out their bullpen!

[Guest themetfairy]

And Rottino's first Major League homer makes the lead 4-0!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Two homers in one inning? May is no longer looking so homerless.

[nymr83]

Get that baseball back! Vinny Rotino's first major league homerun!

[ashie62]

Just tuned in....awesome!

[Frayed Knot]

Stacking the lineup with righties pays off early.
Now we just need Johan to NOT give up another four run lead and we'll be OK.

[Edgy MD]

What could I possibly miss if I don't see the first inning?

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Who is the catcher for the Mets in this game?

Cheers!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That first was nice. But will someone pay the bill, so ConEd or somebody will turn the power back on?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think doodoo goes deep here.

Worked last night anyway.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Shame. I would have gone sleep and awoken before midday.

OE: Oh, fuck. I'm gonna be injured in the back-seat of a cab.

[Edgy MD]

Seventy seven pitches through seven.

Remember how awesome it was when a pitcher was getting the job done, and he came up in the eighth or ninth, and the crowd rose and gave him a standing ovation, and whether or not he acquitted himself well at the plate, that ovation seemingly bouyed him when he came out in the ninth and reached back for a little extra to finish the game.

Let's see some of that shit today.

[Edgy MD]

There we go!

[Edgy MD]

One pitch, one out.

[Edgy MD]

Four pitches, two outs.

So far he has 65 strikes and 16 balls.

[Edgy MD]

Gets his seventh strikeout, and has 87 pitches through eight.

Brilliant, Johan, now finish this.

[Lefty Specialist]

Santana saying, "I got this".
