[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Looks like a triple. Lucky he wasn't thrown out at 3rd!

Yeaaaa, he slowed down at second. It did look like a homer to me but thats no excuse.

Mejia wins this season's "NO HUSTLE" award for that play. Bunting into a doubleplay is bad enough, but when you bunt you really need to FUCKING RUN IT OUT

[Frayed Knot]

Ike's bat keeps finding the SS.
Now we just have to get his throws to find the SS.

[Zvon]

Ive been away. 0-3? Come on Mets.

We all would have gotten that quiz. Right?

[Zvon]

Byrd scores from first on a Davis double. He was goin on the 3-2 pitch.
MORE RUNS PLEASE!

1-3

[Zvon]

Not a bad outing for Mejia. I'll continue to get a lil' bit excited about this guy.

[Zvon]

Young does some stuff and then scores.
2-3 in the 8th.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Stumblin' In

Here we go.

[Edgy MD]

A Suzi Quattro reference can't be bad.

I'm having reception problems and relying on my cellie.

[Zvon]

Wright on second, 1 out. Nice stolen base. Uh-oh. Dave grabbed his hammy. Looks to be okay.

Byrd hits one a country mile only to fly out. Wright advances.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Thinking it should be Chad Qualls new intro music.

Young scored on a passed ball, Wright sing;led, stole second, went to third on a deep fly by Byrd.

New guy now coming in for Ike with 2 out/Wright on 3rd.

[Edgy MD]

Lefty brought in to face Ike.

Satin, right?

Yes sir.

[Zvon]

Ugh, that first one was a pitch to hit. Ronnie likes the 1st pitch aggressiveness.

[Zvon]

Gah. He lifted one. Cheap fly to left.

[Edgy MD]

Looking ahead to the ninth, it'd be sure nice to have a hitter available to batt fro Quintanilla.

And a fielder available to replace him.

[Zvon]

Okay,

[Edgy MD]

"Now the Mets still have Justin Turner and Anthony Recker available on the bench."

Well, at least they're going up against a lefthanded closer.

[Fman99]

Base hit for Bucky to start the 9th. It's go time.

[Frayed Knot]

Problems with the short bench:
- if Buck gets on you can't run for him
- you'll want to hit for both Q & the pitchers spot but to do so you'd have to spend the entire bench

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bucko smashes a leadoff pinball single. Tyrna in the on-deck circle for Q.

[Edgy MD]

Great to get a hit by Buck.

Other downside of the short bench --- hard to pinch run. Use Wheeler?

If Buck gets to 2nd I'd do just that because at that point you're going to have to {H Recker anyhow.

[nymr83]

Can't PR for Buck when you carry 20 pitchers. Really dumb roster right now.

Is there a fast pitcher? We have too many of them to pitch anyway

[Zvon]

Parnell maybe.

[Frayed Knot]

NOW I'd pr for Buck because either Recker will be in the game or the game will be over

[Frayed Knot]

Turner's shot is nine rows deep in YSIII

[Edgy MD]

Ought to be running a pitcher now. Ravishing Recker is in anyhow.

Just don't use Atchison.
