Who but WB Mason would put such little effort into a giveaway? JS Wilpon, that's who.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

This thread title requires a level of optimism for the Mets that not even I can summon at this point.

[Vic Sage]

a little imagination, dudes... what about giving away a W.B. Mason Deathstar?

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Or a Mike Baxter bobble-shoulder doll that crashes into a mini-W.B. Mason wall.

[Ceetar]

I'll be sitting dead center for this one, near the apple.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I recommend covering your eyes and drinking heavily during the scary parts.

of Star Wars or the Mets games?

these are roughly the closest seats to Big Apple Brews.

Tonight's bubble-prickers. Duda sits vs. a RHP.

Tejada-SS
Valdespin-RF
Wright-3B
Davis-1B
Murphy-2B
Bay-LF
Nieuwenhuis-CF
Thole-C
Young-RHP

[Edgy MD]

I realize 'Spin is swifter, but with Murphy reaching base like nobody's biz and Jordany slugging like Popeye on a spinach bender, shouldn't the Mufftone be at the top of the lineup and rookie in the middle?

[G-Fafif]

OMG, that losing streak is going to be sorry it stuck around tonight...

this..I'm shellshocked.

[Edgy MD]

Nats up 2-zip after two. Lone Met hit was a leadoff single by Tejada, erased by a Valdesping GiDP.

Jason Bay looks like he has his strikeout swing working.

[Edgy MD]

I'm Chris Young, and I don't like to throw strikes to Bryce Harper. It's just not something I'm looking to do.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Perhaps a hard-hit ball or two this inning.

Perhaps a hit ball this inning?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Well, that was hard hit. Kaboom, Mr. Wright.

[Frayed Knot]

The difference in this game so far can be summed up as Young's inability to globe Lombardozzi's lead-off batter come-backer and/or Valdespin's sudden GiDP-itis.

[Frayed Knot]

Doesn't Michael Morse look like a guy from one of those Natural History Museum displays that's holding a club above his head ready to finish off the Mastodon he and his clan have just brought down?

[nymr83]

At 89 pitches Young likely has one more inning in him at best, I would pinch-hit there instead of leaving him to bunt.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Young assures the inning goes down the drain by making 3 straight foul bunts.

Jordanny swinging like a guy who doesn't get to start a whole lot.

[Fman99]

Keep sliding into first, dipshits.

[Frayed Knot]

Davey pulling Zimermannnn after six good innings just like he did last week in Washington.
Can't say I'm disappointed.

[Fman99]

YEAH IKE !

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Bay is so toothless they don't even bring in a righty to face him.

[Frayed Knot]

Jeez it would be nice if we could win one of these tight games every now and then.
Now would be particularly nice.
