IGT Tues Jun 19 Mets v O's

[TransMonk]

Wow...the Orioles (like the Rays) are not impressing me.

I know that the AL East is whipping the NL East's ass this season, but from the Mets point of view...I'm not sure how.

I think we can relax with a 5-0 lead with two innings to go. Right?

No rest until the last out.

Okeedoke.

I would like to think they'd have stuck with Parnell if that hadn't been such a good pinch-hitting spot*

*though they could have double-switched when Parnell came in.


Kudos to Terry though on getting Santana out of there... I generally want to stick with a starter pitching well, but with his surgery and the no-hitter pitch count it was time to yank him. Plus the bullpen always needs some work the day after Dickey!

Oh and that's something I had not given Terry credit for but just thought of: in re-arranging the rotation after Santana's no-hitter to put Dickey a day or two before him, Terry has ensured a rested bullpen for the guy most likely to need (in terms of needing rest, not needing to bailed out early due to ineffectiveness)

Batista should be tossed for excessive shoe-tying.

I love the mid-week Mets. They're so much more satisfying than the weekend Mets.

[TransMonk]

Nice game.

[Fman99]

Crisp, sharp baseball. Making the O's look like a bunch of rubes.

[Zvon]

On the cusp of another possible sweep. What a wild and wacky team we have this year.

That's two Baltimore vs NY games that totaled right around 4-1/2 hours ... a fact which has Orioles fans thinking; that's usually ONE game when we play that other New York team
