Fat lot of good it did him to do that. I think that was the last gasp.

I dunno, maybe not. Sorta has the smell of a 2-run Davis blast to tie it.. Wish they hadn't left Wright leading off though.

Yeah, that rally was not without value. We got them to burn their lefty-killer, which may help us in the ninth and may help tomorrow.

Of course, we're walking half of Atlanta here.

SHaMVP-to-Be Duda here...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

can't be giving up 2-out, 3-run homers to the backup catcher.

[Edgy MD]

Well... kept grinding. Uggla game, though.

[Zvon]

Walks kill, lottsa walks murderize ya.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

What Z said.

I like the look of Edgin as much as I did during ST. Darling's analysis before the Chipper HR suggests that the kid might have been done in by Thole's pitch calling there ("Might be a nice place to double up on the fastball... Chipper was locked into the offspeed the last two go-rounds, might be sitting on that slider here...").

The patience-- or rather, planned takes-- from our lefty power sources did the Mets in a couple of times with runners on; Duda, Ike, and Kirk all took middle-in fastballs at least once each during middle-inning RISP situations, only to end up fanning/making weak contact on worse pitches.

[Frayed Knot]

This may have been the most poorly played game I've seen all year.
I say that now only because all those games we lost via atrocious defense earlier in the year have been erased from my memory.
But, Shit!, was there any guy our pitchers didn't go to a 3-ball count? Even the ones they didn't walk got 3 ball counts.

Trade Valdespin for Street.

[Edgy MD]

Street Shmeet.
