[Guest Kong76]

Everybody hits!

[Zvon]

I thought Montero was intentionally trying to tag Recker in the face.

Why that jealous bastard.

[Edgy MD]

Unseeen forces protect that face. No wonder he couldn't get the tag down.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Finish up, would you fellows? I'll be in the grotto with Tiffany, Jennifer, Bambi, Crystal and Kimberly.

[Zvon]

No one cares about Lagares's face

[ashie62]

I believe our SP is getting a victory tonight.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Hawk does what he needs to, and Roe the leaping corpse heads in to pitch.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

What a terrific start to this series. Mojo shall be regained.

WARNING:Do not stare at this long. You will become hypnotized.

Hef has been a pleasant surprise. And Im not saying that because Im hypnotized.

[Zvon]

Recker ripped.

[Zvon]

Whats that on the scoreboard? An upside down 6? I don't think I've ever seen one of those.

[Edgy MD]

I see wanting to get a positive with Lyon in a low-leverage spot here, but I wanted some Gonzalez Germen action.

[Zvon]

Germen action can get messy.


No other Met pitcher in history had given up 5 extra base hits in an inning before Lyon did that? I'm very surprised.

[Zvon]

I really thought it was silly to start this one up again after the delay but I'm glad they did.

Good game.

Oh, you.

I'm weirdly comforted by the fact that I dozed during the rally-- like, this one wasn't in doubt.

It was a one run game at the time, it would have been crazy not to resume it.

Wins are nice. But I was getting palpitations from all those squeakers. The final score did wonders for my blood pressure.

Later

[Edgy MD]

Mets remained tied with the Cubs eleven off the Wild Card, 2 1/2 games behind the World Series champion San Francisco Giants.

�Usted tiene que creer!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We are on our way. If I'm the Phillies, Braves and Giants, I'm crapping my pants right now.

They have eerily similar lines this year. Hef still more homery and walky, but I would pin that advantage on one or two of those early starts.

BA: 7-6. 3.50, 110 IP, 60/21 K/BB, 14 HR
JH: 3-6, 3.54, 94 IP, 71/27, 13 HR

[Edgy MD]

He sure seemed to make the team as rotation filler, and most likely to be holding a spot until Wheeler arrived.

Not so fast. Keeps this up, he'll be the new Rick Reed.

Except that he won't get called a scab by overpaid assholes who begrudge others the chance to earn some money too.

[Edgy MD]

There'll be some minor distinctions.

[Fman99]

A 100 minute rain delay worked out quite nicely -- Fwife and I snuck two episodes of "Lost" in there and switched it back to the game just in time to see Recker's hit and the subsequent ass-kickery.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Putting this here as it happened in this game:

David Aardsma ?@TheDA53 3 Jul It must be bittersweet for @LaTroyHawkins32 to pass Cy Young in games, you never like beating teammates records #ohsnap
