BAZINGA!

Wow. Nice DP. Rubin mighta missed toe'in that bag.

Woops, have to remove my cap.

Why do I even bother to put this crap on tv

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Thanks for trying, Mets.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Joke team is a joke.

Watch'em cough up four runs this inning.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, pulling RA after 84 pitches.

That makes... sense.

Ditto.

Yes, it's because we have one of best bullpens in the majors. And he's probably easing RA's workload in view we may need RA to pitch on short rest in the playoffs. After all, he is a hard throwing pitcher.

Ya know its not like we are in the race or anything. He could have gone more, even though he didn't have his usual good stuff.

[ashie62]

I really hope Duda is not on the team next season.

I can repeat this sentiment about 8 other players and coaches on the current roster.

[ashie62]

I could go for a Piazza HR with the full "Won't Get Fooled Again" treatment.

Unfortunately Mike has retired and this bunch, well...

Another ditto. My brother and I were talking about the team and who has to go first. I said Duda is #1 on my list.

My brother pretty much said that^ cept only 3 or 4.

[Frayed Knot]

What's that now, 7 lead-off runners on in 9 innings?

on edit: "only" five

White Jerry, lmao.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Bay earning his pay in defense!

Credit Bucket for that one.

This half-inning may not end for a while.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Good battle on now on 'Chopped'

C'mon, he was supposed to catch that!
Can we at least limit ourselves to blaming him for things that are actually his fault? Lord knows that list is long enough by itself.

Well, Rick gave him credit for "hustling" when he got on as a result of a wild throw 3 innings ago.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I don't know who Rick is or what that has to do with complaints about his defense -- but whatever.

[Zvon]

Ka------

BOOM!

[Frayed Knot]

We're wasting a very nice season from Hairston.
Now if only we hadn't gone hitless with about 8 Ks since the 5th inning his HR there may have actually meant something.

Its now that the runs the pen let thru kill me.

Meant Ron. Nothing to do with his defense. But they did mention he was playing deep and caught off guard on that play.
