[Zvon]

Now thats how you manufacture a run. GJ.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Captain Clutch! (no arguing about whether players can actually be clutch hitters. It's a freaking nickname, OK?)

[Guest Kong76]

GJ = ? ... expl�came, por favor

Jeter's lawyer will be in touch about your use of his copyrighted nickname.

He's Captain Crotch.

[Guest Kong76]

Or Captain Crutch, lately.

Good job, which Germen does again in the 6th. Hamels is out. Ramirez in.

[Zvon]

I was surprised that Terry kept Germen in there. I like that he did that, and there's the bump. Rice will get the ball.

[Frayed Knot]

I was surprised that he brought Germen into the game in the first place (I figured on a more veteran reliever for such a high leverage spot) but the kid gave a good account of himself.

Now as long as Rice doesn't fall apart here.

I wonder if he ushered the Beatles show?

Tony Roberts is the big NYM fan (I rode an escalator with him at Shea one time)

Although if it makes you feel any better, I think Tony Robbins, that 6' 8" motivational guru, should be plunked in the rump every once in a while just on general principles.

Satin is too kewl 4 skewl. (=too cool for school)

[Zvon]

Have you ever seen a play where the first baseman obstructs the runner from getting back to first by standing between him and the bag? I've never seen it the way it could have gone with Satin standing where he was.

[Frayed Knot]

I think All-Stars should get to keep those stars that were on the back of their collars during the ASG for the remainder of the year.
But I just checked David's shirt and they're gone.

[Zvon]

I guess any at bat where Ike does not have to swing is a good one. Actually, a big walk.

I hadn't realized the wore those this year at all. I thought Jeter didn't do it so it wasn't cool.

Jake Diekman is a good name for a Knickebocker.

[Edgy MD]

Bad at-battie for Young.

Trying to get used to beardless Murphy.

[Edgy MD]

Beardless Murphy tacks on a run. I can get used to that.

I agree w/ya.

Murph to Frayed: "STFU"

[Edgy MD]

By the way, that was a flare Murphy hit, and no Phillie outfielder got within three or four strides of it.

[Edgy MD]

Way to play at a Keith-like distance from the bag, Satin.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Lagares killing the Phils with these dunkers.

[Edgy MD]

Another demonstration of Delmon Young's range there.

What did I tell ya? Hit it to the outfield, Mets.

[Edgy MD]

At Shea, Lagares would be hugging third.

[Guest Kong76]

Satin looked like a bull fighter on that rope.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

d'oh
