Your bottom of the first: three batters reached; two batters caught stealing; one near pickoff.

THAT's the way you make a contract run, Shop-Vac. (Also, two walks and 7 strikes in 17 pitches? Settle the hell down, Son #1.)

[Frayed Knot]

Interesting 1st inning for Familia's 1st ever ML start
- four-pitch walk
- caught stealing
- infield hit
- caught stealing
- four-pitch walk (Reyes - and he decides NOT to try to steal)
- Ks Stanton

[Frayed Knot]

Really Timmy?
Ike, and with no outs?!?!

[Ceetar]

Cedeno, bunt, Murphy, Wright. Three singles get the Mets a run!

[Frayed Knot]

Nice of Florida to give up most of their base-runners like they're doing.

[Guest themetfairy]

Acosta gives half the lead up with a meatball to Mike Stanton. 2-1 Mets.

[Frayed Knot]

Nothing like a meaningless 2-1 game in October that's on pace to run about 3-1/2 hours.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know, if we're going to just keep walking lead-off hitters, we could have just left Familia in.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Good thing they locked up Tuefel for 2013 today.

Geez.

Howie was goofing on a former Mets pitcher a few innings ago, saying he was the worst they ever had, but I didn;t catch who he was talking about. Was it Hank Webb (his kid was pitching at the time).

[Edgy MD]

I heard him goofing on Derek Bell's pitching.

Meanwhile the Fish gain the lead. Hard to win without throwing strikes. Bunt double play follows for Miami.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bell makes sense. I was surprised Howie would be so blunt about a bad pitcher.

What a disaster to have made that horrible call with Davis running, 0 outs. Fire Tim Teufel!

[Edgy MD]

Ike Davis against a sidearming righty is as good a number to put your chit on as we could hope for.

yeah. I'll take that most days.

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Edgy MD]

Three and two, runner going. Just need a double.

But no. LEEEEEE!!!!
