Double by Beltran ends the suspense early.

[Gwreck]

Beltran doubles to lead off the second.

[Zvon]

Don't type so loud.
Hangover city over here...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Same.

I will offer, at a reasonable volume, that may be the wimpiest three-run Met rally I've ever seen.

I had the TV on and I was watching and somehow I missed it.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Didn't leave the infield.

And speaking of which... how about defensive specialist Daniel Murphy over here? They should call that a Billy-DeeP, it was so smooth.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, the fates are smiling on the Mets right now.

[Edgy MD]

Check out Ikey swinging 3-0.

[Edgy MD]

Bases loaded and two outs with Josh Ptolemy coming up. Lance Link getting the hook.

[Edgy MD]

Murphy saves a run and Dickey follows up with a strikeout to end the inning. Lot of things going well.

I am so not used to this^
After 6, up 3-0.

[Edgy MD]

And Quintie does a great job ending the top of the seventh. Dickory only at 75 pitches.

Duda leads off the bottom with a single.

Duda and Murph spank out hits. Time to tack on.

Come on Ike.

[Edgy MD]

Big, stinky strikeout from Ike Davis.

[Frayed Knot]

Not exactly smacking 'em off the walls for our runs today are we?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Take note: that was a GOLD-GLOVE-QUALITY passed ball from Yadi F.

[metirish]

Howie reading a statement from Seaver, yyybbb, always orthought it was an anomaly and happy for Org . Then something I think is wrong, "I have never met Johan personally", I remember an SNY show with Cohen interviewing Seaver and Johan together with Darling I think?

After his first season, IIRC.

Honest mistake, or sly passive-aggressive dig from the winemeister?

[Frayed Knot]

I'm going with honest mistake.
Seaver, by his own admission, follows baseball these days only through box scores and has always been a bit of a me-centered dude anyway.
I suspect that unless you're related to him, played in his era, or are part of his current circle, he probably doesn't know/remember your name.

[Frayed Knot]

Bullpen? ... BULLPEN?
We don't need no stinkin' bullpen.

[metirish]

Agree with FK, Tom did say he only found out this morning when he picked up his newspaper.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Sure there have been some missed opportunities but this is shaping up to be another very nice game. RA with 9 strikeouts through 8.

[Zvon]

Dickeys sickey. Ks the side in the 8th

[Edgy MD]

Dickey through the eighth at 87.

Good things happen when you let your horses do what they were born to do, Terry.
