The Mets travel to the land of TMonk starting a short road trip that we cannot afford to dump.

Satin should be starting.. Is this Terry's call?

[Edgy MD]

Terry made it clear that Ike was coming back to play. And if you don't want Ike facing a rookie making his second big league start, well then, you don't want Ike.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I'm pretty sure Ashie don't want Ike.

[Frayed Knot]

Look at those middle of the lineup batting averages ...
Davis - .161
Nieuwenhuis - .179
Lagares - .233
Buck - .205

This Hellweg is, as Lindsey Nelson used to say, a long drink of water. Then again, Lindsey once referred to Donn Clendenon as a 'long knocker' and my father laughed so hard I thought he was going to break a blood vessel.

Leadoff hits are nice. I like leadoff hits.

[Edgy MD]

Big RBI spot for this Davis kid I've been hearing about.

[Edgy MD]

He lays off a curve below his knees. I celebrate this.

[Zvon]

I'm having a flashback. Oh, Davis is back. His eye looks good.

[Edgy MD]

Good eye.

Sheesh, that feels like Ike's first walk in a month.

[Zvon]

Didn't expect this....from them. Suck up this long glass of water. Then spit him out.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Hellweg makes his pitch, but his infielders are no help. 2-0 Metsies.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Didn't Lyon have room for Buck in his DFAmobile?

[Zvon]

Damn Murph. We had to get an out there.

[Edgy MD]

A lot of baserunners on this Milwaukee team.

[Zvon]

haha, what a mess. Great play and throw by Q. Buck, you're an idiot.

Tied 2-2

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Oh, Murph. The more time he has to think, the more trouble he seems to have.

Wake up, Buck, there's another runner on base, and whoah.... there he goes while you're congratulating yourself on tagging a guy who was out by ten feet.

So if he gets angry I guess he becomes Hellweg and the angry 81 inches?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Jayzus, thus looks like the 8th floor vs. the 9th floor at the company picnic.

Yea on Murph.

I was thinking the same thing about Buck and I thought : why don't you just take a bow you idiot.


HA! Hellweg sucks.

[Edgy MD]

Brewers playing defense like a last-placey team.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I'd maybe almost give Hellweg a pass if there were none out, but that ends the inning if he goes 1-6-3.

Is the roof closed at Miller Park? Somebody oughta check the carbon monoxide detectors.

[Zvon]

Bases loaded for Ike. Just dont K and Ill be happy.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

He's hit three foul grounders. I have a feeling if he gets his timing right he's going to ground out to first.

[Zvon]

I like it. I really like that at bat.

[Edgy MD]

Wow, hitting against the shift. Lub it.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

An infield hit for Ike Davis. It's the top of the second and it's already the strangest game I've seen in a long time.
