Okay Torres. You can do this. Just take it two innings at a time.

[Edgy MD]

A 0.51 ERA is a nice piece of armour with which to gird my loins. Now for a weapon with which to slay my foe... .

[Edgy MD]

End of three and 0-2-0 for each team. Torres may turn into a pumpkin soon enough, but so far he's been a revelation.

[ashie62]

And that ERA is heading lower...

[ashie62]

KANIEUWIE YEAH!

[batmagadanleadoff]

Why am I not surprised that there would come a point this season when the Mets would be wearing their electric blue pajama tops virtually every single day? Alternates, schmalternates.

[Edgy MD]

Big spot for Ike right here.

[Edgy MD]

And... he whiffs when all he needed was a hard out.

[ashie62]

That was effin pathetic Ike...

[Edgy MD]

And Marlon somehow beats out an infield hit for the RBI.

Love this man, Metworld. Won't you?

[Zvon]

Young was safe but could have been called either way. Nice double steal.

Ohhhhhh Ike. That was a pretty pathetic swing. Another swing like that tonight and I jump on the Satin bandwagon.

And Byrd beats out an infield single for an RBI! Byrd was flyin!
2-0 Mets.

[batmagadanleadoff]

"What the hell is there to do in Pittsburgh when Matt Harvey
isn't starting?"

[ashie62]

Eat at the Manny Sanguillen retaurant at PNC...

[ashie62]

Time for the parade of relievers...knock yourself out Terry...

[Zvon]

HUGE double play. Can Torres recoup? Or is five innings all we can expect from him.

[Fman99]

Well that was a nice GIDP induced.

Having said that, as terrible as the Fox announcers are, every game not on WPIX is a winner for me since I get to watch.

[Zvon]

Young still doin it. Knocks out A.J.
Buck runs like he's underwater.

[Zvon]

Murph knew that was a strike. Damn. He has a lil hitting streak going but is still hovering around .270.

[Edgy MD]

Tied up.

May be the magick of PNC, but this sounds like a playoff crowd.

[Zvon]

Aardsma! Come on. Do your job.
McClutchen ties it with a solo boomer.

[Fman99]

Darn.

I thought the same yesterday. They bring the noise. Good for them.

[Fman99]

Fish Bird just killing it recently.

Byrd: .265/15 HR/50 RBI
BJ Upton .177/8/20

Have some of that.

[Zvon]

I didn't think it possible but Kirk takes the lead in worst pathetic swing of the game. Ike had a decent at bat there.

[Zvon]

Oh man. Ike, if you can't stop that what good are you!? It was hit hard but he didn't even have to move.

[Fman99]

Ugh, Ike. First he boots the grounder and then he can't glove the double play attempt from Wright.

(OE: Replay shows it wasn't a great throw, but still).

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tough error on Ike, that ball was smoked.

Jordanny Valdespin has been called to my office after the game.

[Edgy MD]

Valdespin really has no role on this team.

But man... two men on with McCutcheon coming up. Fittest-looking guy in beisbol, and damned good to boot.
