Not a chance in hell, it sounds like, but for now, 1:10 PM, Harvey vs. Wainwright.

[Frayed Knot]

If the good Lord's willin' and the crick don't rise.

[G-Fafif]

On the off chance...

Jordany Valdespin � 2B
Omar Quintanilla � SS
David Wright � 3B
Daniel Murphy � 1B
Lucas Duda � LF
Marlon Byrd � RF
John Buck � C
Kirk Nieuwenhuis � CF
Matt Harvey � RHP

Currently overcast in Flushing.

National Weather Service wrote: Rain and possibly a thunderstorm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. High near 70. East wind around 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

I'd be tempted to let Marcum start today's game, in case it turns out to be one of those three-inning rainouts.

[G-Fafif]

Well, I'll be damned, we're underway on time.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Top of the first: ten pitches, nine strikes. Not too shabby!

[TransMonk]

I've seen that Wainwright hook before. David gets a called strike 3.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Matt Harvey falls to the ground jumping out of the way of a comebacker, and Terry and the medical crew rush to the mound to make sure he's okay. (Apparently he is.) Ron Darling points out that yesterday the same thing happened to Dillon Gee, "and nobody gave a shit."

[TransMonk]

I'm of the opinion Byrd should not have dove there, but rather should have tried to keep the ball in front of him to save the run.

Ronnie disagrees with me.

No vanis takee for Beltran now that he's a visiting player.

[Benjamin Grimm]

In retrospect, the Mets should have traded John Buck on April 30.

Kevin James doing an awful Bob Murphy impression.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Oops, sorry, that's not Kevin James, it's "Gary Valentine."

I need to pay more attention.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Dillon Gee, in the dugout, wearing the all-blue cap, while his teammates on the field are wearing the ones with the orange brims.

[Edgy MD]

This is getting stupid. Beltran should signal to the Mets what Wainwright is throwing (somehow making the read and signal from right field). He owes us that much.

[TransMonk]

Dang, I thought Duda might have gotten all of that one.

[Edgy MD]

I was away from my desk. Did Duda abandon some ducks?

[Benjamin Grimm]

He hit a two-out warning track fly ball with Wright and Murphy on first and second.

[Zvon]

ooo, I like Valdesacs 2nd basemens glove. Blue and orange. K, thats it, he's our second baseman from now on.

[Zvon]

Lets get some runs!!!! LETS GO METS! LETS GO!

[Benjamin Grimm]

So far, they don't look like a team that intends to score runs.

Would like to see him hit too..

[Edgy MD]

Wainwright: 2.23 ERA
Valdesac: .223 Average.

Something's gotta give!

I knew right of the bat it wasn't going out.....not by the sound, there were men on, Duda hits solo shots.

Both Valde and Newy. With Newy, he supposedly got to hittin down on the farm, but he looks like the same whiffer I saw in April.

Well, if we're being all-inclusive.. Buck, Lagares, Cowgill, Davis too.

[Zvon]

Well, Wrights having a decent afternoon. 1 run. 1 run guys. Score me one fuckin run.

I'm greedy. I demand 3.

One run at a time.
Is another fine pitching performance going to go to waste?

[Edgy MD]

Let's waste Wainwright's instead.

Let's waste it to ruins.

[Zvon]

Damn it. They will walk Newy to get to the pitchers spot. And that'll be it for Matt.

PLATE THAT RUN!
