I'm starting to fell semi-confident about this game to the point where right now I'd put the Mets chances of hanging on at well over 64%.

And keep in mind, as mentioned before, their regular p-b-p guy is away for this series.

I ran around the corner to the Greene Turtle for dinner, figuring the game would be all over the place. Way more screens on the Red Sox - Rangers and MLB Network games. I guess it is mostly out of towners. The management did not appreciate it when I jumped on the bar when Recker was up.

ESPN is carrying the Sox/Rangers on account of the Softball WS ending a day early, so the bars around there probably have that station on full-time just in case there's breaking Robert Griffin III news. Y'know, like what he had for lunch this afternoon or something.

Gee looks like a different man all clean cut.

[Edgy MD]

At this rate, we'll never be able to get Rice into this game.

[Zvon]

I lost my MLB.TV feed. Da bastages.

Gee knew by reading this page that I'd put him on notice Dickey-style.

Also that Lunchpail wants to write a biography of him for school. Yeah I don't get it either.

[Edgy MD]

He's cute enough as a young man, but heading toward middle age, he's totally going to be moving toward Elmer Fuddsville.



Must embarrass Recker to catch him.

[Zvon]

Ill have to head to the garage and do the AM radio thang.

I think a lot of guys become ballplayers so they can wear a hat to work.

Hi, my name is Rob Carson. Have you seen my shit? I'm trying to find it.

[Fman99]

Carson sucks a big fat lollipop.

[Edgy MD]

Here I am plunking the last guy off the bench. See, I'm missing my shit.

[Fman99]

Muffie with the major league glove.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Ray Knight, pimping the post-game show, is all "we" about the Nats. Ray, you are dead to me.

The glorious result of giving a guy a chance.

I"ve seen it. it's in pieces. Maybe you should get it together.


Books. Lagares!

[Edgy MD]

Recker says that Marlon Byrd called it before the game that he'd hit two homers.

[Zvon]

10-1. YeeeHA!

Even if we accept Q is scalding and that Byrd has had his moments, could 6 through 9 be any less threatening? And though Gee is no Harvey, he's a plausible 7-batter in this lineup. (6 really, but we'll show a modicum of faith in Ike.) Several hours from now, may the nine hits combined for by Recker, Lagares and Gee make me look wholly unprescient.

Close enough. I am wholly unprescient.

Said Recker: "The most remarkable thing I've ever seen, ever."

I guess Anthony doesn't own a mirror.
