A [u:1xq30z2t]3rd Run[/u:1xq30z2t]!!!! - for the first time in a week.
The fact there there were two on and one out after that and no more came in is still a problem but, baby steps.

Is Bay allowed to do that?

Once a month he is - whether it's necessary or not.

When the game was over, I felt like having a cigarette.

7th inning stretch crowd shot.


Notes from the game, if we're still doing that:

1. Greene laced a single to right field, and the throw was headed to third. Ruben Tejada jumped like he was going to cut it off, and seemingly deked Green into not taking second. Heads up.

Crowd was dead. Pretty sure it took until the 9th for a Lets Go Mets chant. (and I don't think we were prompted for one ever..)

Steak Sandwich is yummy. you knew that.

I hate when the U.S. Open is there too. so messy with parking/traffic.

Got a bobblehead and a 50th anniversary Mets ice cream helmet.

Josh Thole came to bat to "Who let the dogs out" in one at-bat.

They were randomly playing the James Bond theme between innings at one point. Would've been cooler on the organ.

Also, just the simple act of getting the throw low enough and accurate enough to where the runner thinks it could be cut-off is enough to hold runners, with or without a good deke -- and that's what our outfielders have not been doing a good job on all year (hence our whole thread here somewhere on our pitiful OF throws)

I'd bench him on those grounds alone.

Hairston to me has been and adequate but not particularly adept outfielder, but he made that throw pretty well. He also hustled over and cut off a liner down the line to keep it at a single. so props to Hairston today. I don't remember where he played in San Diego, but maybe he's just a better Rightfielder overall?


Well, on Piazza Bobblehead day I think Thole gets a pass for Who Let the Dogs Out.
