[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Forgot about Boesch.

This team, man. It's like Flashy 2-Bags and the Guys Who Nobody Wants In Your Fantasy League.

[Ceetar]

~$22 at the box office to get in tonight. I'm halfway tempted.

[Edgy MD]

Does Boesch really have enough arm to knock Ichiro over to left or is it that leftfeild at YSIII is much more territory than right is?

[Guest vtmet]

If Valdy can't even get in the lineup tonight in Yankee Stadium vs a RHP with the DH rule in play; then they might as well just ship him down to AAA to get some playing time...yes his average sucks, but so does the rest of the guys that are getting playing time, and he's one of the few that actually has a degree of talent...

[Zvon]

After the last two games, and the last bunch of sudden wins, I don't expect much tonight. Or should I say I expect the worst? I dunno. We are Met fans. We know that all four of these games going our way would be a lil miracle. Lil one.

But I'll still push it and forge on with my Python bit in support of our Mets.

A few more flesh wounds should do it.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Eff that. This MFY team is the one due for a letdown, you can't pitch like that every night.

I am expecting a resounding victory.

I like this! You have skewered my perspective for the better.

[Zvon]

Mr T came to play. And...

Single,double
1-0

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Nix sux.

[Zvon]

Buck drives in Danny. Nix nixes it, error, Wright scores.

Only 1 out (Duda k). Phelps up to 27 pitches.

OP:Doh! Thats my bit.
Ha! Nix sucks.

An homage, it was.

[Zvon]

IKE! rips a single!
5-0

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Good evening, Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to get your fucking brains beat in by the Mets. This inning will self-destruct in 15 minutes.

What's this new guy's name? Foghorn Leghorn?

It'd help if they'd put names on the back of their uniforms so I could tell which Yankee scrub was which.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Resounding.

[nymr83]

nice job by the Mets, now pound the FUCK out of this bullpen and force them all to pitch today, weakening them for tomorrow!

[Lefty Specialist]

Good to see Hefner hold them scoreless there. Foot on the neck, boys, don't let them up.

[Frayed Knot]

Damn, I wanted five more runs in the 2nd inning.

[metirish]

Beautiful out pitch from Hefner to Stewart.......

[Frayed Knot]

A bit disturbing in that it's taken Hefner nearly 50 pitches just to get through two scoreless innings despite only three base-runners -- although I suppose that beats a low pitch count with runs allowed so we shouldn't complain too much.

[Zvon]

Nice catch, but not good enough to make the thread.

[seawolf17]

Marlon Byrd, bustin' out the whoopin' stick. 6-0.

[Zvon]

[metirish]

OMFG, Byrd with a fly ball that actually went out for a HR......Gary " this right field porch is an absolute joke"

[Frayed Knot]

The only possible HR that's shorter than that one was hit by Jeter some 16 years ago.

[Frayed Knot]

Yanqui relievers Adam Warren and Preston Clairborne are going to meet after the game in the club where they'll sink into their leather chairs, check the market reports, and complain how hard it is to get good domestic help these days.

[seawolf17]

Five pitches for Hefner in the third. Much better.
