Burkhardt seems like a good guy. He was nice as could be when we ran into him in Spring Training a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, if he wants to do baseball play-by-play the Mets are not likely in his future.

You're expanding my vocabulary.

Cedeno goes into the hole to rob Jeter. I need to go change my shorts.

[Frayed Knot]

The only reason Jeter didn't have a hit there is that he wasn't also playing SS.

I wish that Guys! would STFU about the glory and splendor of Pettitte.

Indeed. The scrotum-bath that the Mets announcers have bestowed upon the Yankees over these four games is nauseating.

[bmfc1]

SNY/PIX is acting as if their audience is all of NY. I'm sure that YES is not.

[Zvon]

Yikes. In the apple. I hope that's not a bad omen.

"Torres on his horse"??........

He was thinking of this:

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Was that a pitcher stare-down from the HorseMan as he rounded the bases?

Nice recovery from Niese, who's tended over the last few starts to let the wheels come off after the other team breaks through.

[Lefty Specialist]

They really need to add on here. We need to avoid using the closer, lest he choke on a chicken bone.

Not helpful, Ike.

[ashie62]

Put Ojeda in the booth...he would tear the mfy's up.

Even with his big hits as of late I don't feel he's out of the woods til he stops swinging at shit like that.

[Lefty Specialist]

Burkhardt is painless, but this booth is infinitely better with Gary in there.

We're almost certainly going to need a couple outs from Byrdak before this is all over.
At some point these monkeys are going to get a couple on and then bring Ibanez and/or Chavez off the bench to swing for the fences (like they do any other kind of swinging on this team).

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Welcome to the clowns-attempting-to-walk-tightropes portion of this circus.

[Lefty Specialist]

The sentence that strikes fear in the heart of every Met fan.....

"We need eight outs from our bullpen."

I'm very happy with Niese's outing. Now the pen has to secure his win.

For some reason I have total faith. (I'm gonna have to make a graphic that captures that)

I'm glad you are, because I'm looking at this game at a toss-up right about now.

oe: although that K of Granderson just helped my mood a bit.

Nice job by Parnell.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bob B. Pee.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Prime whiffery.

You stick with Parnell as long as he's throwing like this, no? But does Terry?

[ashie62]

It's a Q-ball

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

OK, Daybid. Let's get this thing up to 5 again.
