Now, just a few more runs and we can trust the pen.

*tips cap. Didn't realize it was such a big image though (was just sittin here making that now--no kaBOOM added yet). Sorry bout that. Need to shrink it a bit.

Turner in for Wright, so David's day in done.

[Edgy MD]

Only bench emptying they do is to send Turner in for Wright.

[TransMonk]

This is a lead I hope the bullpen can hold.

Wright plays like every day every inning so this was a good time for it. everyone else has pretty much done some platooning. (I'd also swap Thole out)

Who pitches the 9th? Cedeno? Turner?

[Edgy MD]

I figure they'll remove Thole as soon as they pull Niese.

Gary just echoed this post with his '64 Met tale. lol. Nice.

This reminds me a bit of the Mets' visit to Wrigley in 2010 (which we attended). Two losses, then an 18-5 win in the finale.

I have to work and all hell breaks loose.

Note to self: Work more.

Gary is a CPF lurker.

[TransMonk]

Lost in all of this is that Niese is having a nice little game...back out for the 7th.

Jane Lynch taking us out to the ballgame.

Man, I would love it if he would stop in for a conversation with us. Imagine that. And why not, he's as big a Met fan as any of us.

[Edgy MD]

Buffalo kicked some ass today, also. Wondering when we get our Beato back.

[Zvon]

Ike doubles and is now batting .201! Yipee!

Howie was about to tell this story but cut off by the DP.

[seawolf17]

As per the Internets: The Mets have scored at least 17 runs eleven times; five of those eleven came against the Cubs, all at Wrigley.

[Ceetar]

Howie and Josh lamenting the lack of enough peanut M&Ms on charter flights.

[Guest themetfairy]

They should have put Ramirez in for the 7th inning to give him a 3-inning save opportunity.

[Guest themetfairy]

Fly the victory flags!

4th team in history to have four players each with four or more RBIs in the same game -- or so says some crawl across the bottom of a screen.

A quirky and totally meaningless stat to be sure, but shirley an oddity to score 17 runs and have all of them driven in by just four players.
