That double-play wasn't depressing. Neither was that whiff of Kennedy.

Let's get active.

Let's active.

[Frayed Knot]

Do the Dodgers even have a hard-hit ball in today's game?
Not that we deserve to be winning or anything but between the walks, bad defense, and bloops and bleeders, LA is just being handed this game.

[Edgy MD]

Action!

Tying-run-to-the-plate action!

[Zvon]

Hmmm. TriBOOMuffy! Nice hittin.

[Edgy MD]

Gotta get Murphy home.

[Edgy MD]

Not sure I'd go with Nieuwie. Too many whiffs.

[Edgy MD]

But that got it done. One-run game.

[ashie62]

We've been resurrected.

Followed by an actual one ... and by Uribe of all people.
And again it's with two outs.

[Frayed Knot]

So since the Murphy triple, they haven't had one leave the infield in four ABs

[Edgy MD]

Wright needs to get on to get us a hacker's chance.

[Edgy MD]

Hairston up as the tying run. Muff and Davis to follow.

Jensen goin all Batista on us.

[Zvon]

Well, all around a bad day Metwise.

[Frayed Knot]

All of the Dodger runs came with two outs, half of them after two were out and none on.

[nymr83]

Haven't the Mets been the ones scoring runs that way all year though?

And hey, the Mets bullpen isn't just horrible, its CURSED! How else can you explain Dickey coming out of the pen and getting taken deep by Juan friggin Uribe?

CURSED!!!

[ashie62]

Today's outcome was one step above calling forfeit with Batista going.

It's the curse of Armando Benitez. This is what the Mets get for naming Roger McDowell over Benitez to the 50th anniversary first all Mets team as the righty reliever. This is what the Mets get for not even putting Armando's mug on one of this year's season tickets.

You didn't think I was good enough for you? You will come to learn how bad not good enough can be. I curse you.

Updating a factoid from today's WSJ, the Mets are now 103-85 in games started by pitchers in their 40's. That's in the top 5 or 6 all time.
