[Zvon]

One of the best Ralph days. Some really nice stories. I like how he said he had a hitting secret he would never divulge, and then without even being prodded he gives it up,lol. Garys going over it now. He told stories I had never heard. Beating his pregnant wife!

That don't look right out of context.

[Zvon]

HA! Ruggiano is an idiot who sucks!

[Zvon]

Shame on you Muffy.

That was a weird swing by Flores. The weirdest ever.

NY Met bats: Making mediocre pitchers look good since April


Tejada just put everything he had into one and it almost reached the warning track.

[Zvon]

Hawkins coming on in a 0-0 game. He's been pitching great. I'd really like to win this game.

But we know whats gonna happen now, don't we?,... cuz we're Met fans.

[Zvon]

[bigpurple:ojzvs76o]WOW[/bigpurple:ojzvs76o]

[Frayed Knot]

Interesting game for Murph.
Hell, it's been an interesting inning!!!

[Zvon]

CRAZY THROW DAN! [bigpurple:7b506p43]GREAT[/bigpurple:7b506p43] TAG FLORES!


WTF!? And now Murphy drops the force at second. Bad throw by Flores.

[Zvon]

Come on Hawkins me boy, get out of this.

[Zvon]

Whew. Baseball is one caaaaaaRazy game. Hawkins does get thru that wacky and wild inning.

[Frayed Knot]

I could say that we're at an advantage here as they have the bottom of their order up while we have the middle (3-4-5) of ours due up ... except that with this line-up that doesn't mean anything.

Both teams have been hitting like shit with some pop. There's that. This is the guy I worry about. Our future outfielder Stanton.

[Zvon]

German makes quick work of him. Niiiiiiiice.

d'Arnaud has a real doozy now and then..

[Frayed Knot]

It's encouraging, and sad at the same time, that I have more faith in Brown right now than I do in any other hitter on the roster.

[Frayed Knot]

You get the opinion that this game could go a few dozen innings without the Mets scoring.

And now we have both Tejada AND Quintanilla in the lineup!!

[Edgy MD]

It's like the two teams are conspiring to pay tribute to Justin Turner.

Wow, Q at third and really nice try there on the line single. Q trying to pull a Brooks.

The only advantage we have here, and I mean the only, cause both teams offense were dead on arrival, is that we get last licks.

[Frayed Knot]

Was it over when the Germen K-bombed Biscayne Bay? ... Let's hope so.

[Zvon]

Travis has got to be tired. Don't try to hit it out d'. Just slap a double.

Or a lead off single. Nice.

[Zvon]

T sac puts d' on 2nd, one out.

[Frayed Knot]

I'm surprised they're even pitching to EYII

[Zvon]

Hellzyea, why not bunt for the single here. That would make sense for a change. Risky but with Young running I'd like the odds. And of course he's swinging away. Two strikes on him now.

[Zvon]

Frayed Knot wrote: I'm surprised they're even pitching to EYII

Ugh. I thought they'd pitch around him at least. No need, he Ks to end the inning.

[Frayed Knot]

Pitching to ANY Met is not considered dangerous these days.

[Zvon]

What a great piece of hitting by Danny. He hit the same pitch that Duda took for ball four. I thought that was a strike.
Bases juiced, no out. This game is ours.

[Frayed Knot]

EX-ZACH-LY what we didn't need!
