Well, so much for this game.

I was gonna say something like this and then I thought better of it, as you should also have done.

That ball hit off Rices foot and nobody gave a shat.

And Holliday muscles one out off old man Atchy.
6-3 Dedbirds

Didn't think I could hat Molina any more than I already did.

I think that Terry Collins asked for Nelson to come in.

Blecch.

[Frayed Knot]

Another game, another 9 Ks (and counting), another day with just 4 hits (and only two were deserved).

[Zvon]

Speaking of fools, Ankiel could have made the Mets look like geniuses, if he made that catch and got a hit here or there. Instead, in front of a St Loo, crowd he makes us look like fools.

Nice catch there tho.

[Zvon]

That giant midget has two hits tonight.

[Fman99]

That sucked a big fat popsicle.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

But, hey-- Greg Burke's back? This terrible team just got a little more wacky!

[Zvon]

JCL said it weeks ago. Too many strikeouts. This "take/see more pitches" strategy. We're good at it. It's not working as intended. They should do this only with certain players. Last years team struck out ALOT. I don't like this trend.

Ends up making that drop using Niese's glove. Ouch.

It's not the difference of inches --- the drop by Ankiel, the richochet off of Rice's foot, the ricochet off the bag the prior game --- it's that they're hitting poorly enough that they relay on those breaks to fall that way just to give themselves a chance.
