When you stare into the abyss, you know you support the Mets.

9. And, um, Hefner is pitching

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I'm feeling a bit deja vooey.

[G-Fafif]

I'm all for punishing Hefner by making him pitch again so soon, but I'm not at all for punishing us by making us watch him.

[G-Fafif]

I think THIS is what you're looking for:

Lewis 8
Murphy 4
Wright 5
Davis 3
Hairston 9
Duda 7
Tejada 6
Thole 2
Niese 1

Well, it's not really what anybody here is looking for, but let's pretend those numbers aren't their scorecard positions but how many hits each Met will collect tonight.

[Edgy MD]

I don't know how I do these things.

Sometimes I'm aware. Othertimes...

Think I need a neurological workup.

I mean, as disengaged as I might be, I actually followed the last three innings last night.

[G-Fafif]

Visions of Fred Lewis are the first symptom...

[Guest themetfairy]

Such visions don't exactly dance in one's head....

[Edgy MD]

Visions of Fred Lewis are the first symptom...

Absolutely. The first few batters made sense, I dug in, and there I was, riding out the string semi-consciously like a 2012 Met.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Terry's all regretful and stuff for his behavior last night.

He shouldnt be

[metirish]

Wow, the Marlins are useless ..... awful baseball on show here.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice that we have four runs and all ... but I think Ruben's double there in the 4th was our first 'legit' hit.
There was the bad call on 1st for Muffy ... the Duda pop up the Marlins watch drop ... the Thole liner that the LF misplayed ... and probably a couple others I'm missing.

[Frayed Knot]

This game, even with a three run lead, has turned into a 50/50 proposition to me.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets win!

And now we need a guy on the other side of the world to start Saturday's IGT and keep the winning streak (currently sitting at 1) alive.

[Edgy MD]

Holy shit, they won! Seven runs at home!

I'm going to go out and see another terrible film tomorrow!
