Four hits in two innings is sharp?

He's given up four hits while retiring five batters*
Let's hold off a bit on the plaudits for the fat man.


* while throwing 41 pitches

Swisher's a douche who needs to be drilled in the 7th by Parnell.

And having the the backup catcher and pitcher up just made me more nervous, not less. Spoken like a life-long Mets fan! ;-) That fear wasn't born from watching the Mets for too long, it was from watching THEM too often! And from seeing shit like that too often.

Which results in shit like THAT too often!

That knuckler to Nick did nothing. Just floated into his bat.

I really don't care if players smile and act happy when they do well, but when Jose Reyes was slapping after homeruns he was criticized. So how come Swisher doesn't get the same criticism?

[Zvon]

Well we haven't scored any runs and if we don't score any runs we weren't gonna win anyway so lets score some runs. And win.

He does. Unfortunately just from us.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

We need to pause to salute the amazingnes of the unearned run streak.

With this lineup from Tidewater? Maybe if R.A. was R.A.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Fuck. Glad that went through the 5 hole or Torres was DEAD.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

We should run on these punks all night long.

We got one back!

That's one.

We got lucky on both SBs tonight.
I hope Terry doesn't look at our early running "success" and decide to keep handing outs to a guy who's only a 50/50 shot at getting them on his own to this point.

Really. He needs to go down.

Yeah, the hype, Dickey getting recognition, national tv...it just felt like it would lead to a Yankee slugfest and Dickey's exposure as a fraud.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Whatever happened to the duchy Yankee catcher who used to wear the Gazoo helmets? Francisco something?

Cervelli is his name, and he's hitting a robust .251 with two homers for the Yankees - the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, that is.

Cervelli.
They dumped him to the minors when they picked up this Stewart guy like a day or two before the season started

leftover graphic alert

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Why are they making apologies for Swisher in the booth?

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Swisher's helping his team win and has ruined the one thing Mets' fans could feel good about. Why shouldn't he be happy?

[Guest cooby]

Gag me with a spoon. Blue collar Yankees.

[Guest Kong76]

Not feeling terribly confident about this.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Dickey hitless and scoreless streak now at one inning.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm not averse to hitting Yankees, but Granderson's the wrong guy.

[Centerfield]

This team fucking blows.
