McCarver so drunk he didn't notice that Thole stamped on second base.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Goodness, McCarver, that rule is to prevent people from running from third to first and missing second base all together, not a neighborhood thing like that. If it was Jeter, he'd be praising his gamesmanship.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Difficult play made easy by Granderson, the only MFY I can stands these days.

And ANOTHER pitching change. I'm surprised Girardi didn't motion to Fox producers-- "I got you"-- instead of the bullpen.

[Lefty Specialist]

Thole stepped on second so hard Tim should have noticed his swizzle stick vibrating.

[bmfc1]

No MLB on FOX next week for those of us in the DC area.

[Fman99]

Clutch at bat there by Hairston. Bay should be sitting and learning how to hit from him.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Thole goes first to third on that play, which I'm pretty sure is against the rules."

-Tim McCarver

Granderson is actually a really nice guy, at least he was when I interviewed him. I hated to see him to the the Evil Bastards.

Buck
"a base hit can put the Mets on top"....I guess if it were a HR

[Lefty Specialist]

Torres approaching Bay/Davis levels of usefulness.

[Gwreck]

Wow. Bay, Davis, Torres. Can we just cut them all?

Take all the positive with this season and throw it into the fire with a meaningless series against a team in another league that I choose not to follow but am forced to watch. Wait until next season when there's an interleague game every day of the season.

I can see in the future, the pennant race coming down to the final week. We get the Braves or Marlins. Philly gets the Royals. Hooray for interleague play.

This weekend is set up so MFY's media shills can piss on anything good the Mets have done all season.

How about when we pinch hit, we pinch hit for one of THEM instead of the guy who's hitting and fielding well?

[Lefty Specialist]

MLB Fan Cave- a world-changing event. Take that, World War II.

Buck just marking time until he can give Aikman big wet sloppy kisses now.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Rats.

[Frayed Knot]

Anyone else hear that stat from earlier - that the Yanx have lost every game this season in which they did not HR?
Even I'm surprised at that one. Most of them sure, but ALL?

[bmfc1]

I don't miss Pagan but Sandy appears to have received nothing of value for him. I know that Torres is a nice guy but Nieuwenhuis is the better player and Ramirez was awful.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Gee was almost my favorite player there. Jeter needs a good skulling.

That 2-2 pitch he let go by without offering is going to haunt him (at least it should).
I was jumping out of my chair when that thing was half way to the plate because I thought he was going to mash it.

Next best thing. Spin him out, then make him watch the third strike pass by, powerless to do a damned thing about it.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He's my favorite Met pitcher to watch right now BECAUSE he's doing that to back off a hitter-- be it Captain Ineffable Goodness or any other-- without hitting the guy.

Own that inside corner, homes.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

My wife and daughter want to know if you guys think the baby with the goatee ad is as creepy as they do.

[Fman99]

Clearly the home plate umpire not aware of recent revision to the MLB rulebook that states that you're not allowed to call strikes on Derek Jeter.

Almost as creepy as Nick Swisher swinging on a lamppost.

Slightly moreso than talking baby from stock-trade ads, slightly less than CGI talking pets.

Holy crap, it's frightening!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Whenever I see a close-up of Swisher I think of Tom Hanks referring to the umpire in 'A League of Their Own' as a penis with a little hat on.

[Fman99]

Maybe I am spoiled by Cohen, Darling and Hernandez because Buck and McCarver are a couple of stammering, yammering asses.
