EY nailed at plate... oh well

[Fman99]

No WPIX on FIOS in Syracuse, so I am listening to Josh and Howie on my phone courtesy of XM. Better than nothing, anyway.

[Fman99]

KABOOMBA DUDA!

[Frayed Knot]

Getting one-hit thru six = not good
Having two of the base runners we did get thrown out on the base paths = even worse

[ashie62]

Colin Cowgill gets revenge...

[Edgy MD]

"Grandpa Laggy, tell us about the time you knocked Jered Weaver out the game."

[Edgy MD]

METS ON TOP!

[Edgy MD]

HA! Aybar got caught lying..

I can't remember the last time I saw such a good-looking hit.

[Frayed Knot]

I'm totally buying into the church of Trout and was sure he was going to snag that Recker hit ... and was convinced he was going to steal the Duda HR earlier on for that matter.



I heard this reliever, Michael Kohn, is tough ... but his brother Ghengis, now there was a nasty pitcher.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Tying run on base? The Best Player In Baseball coming up?

No problem, kiddies-- Carlos Torres remains... THE Competent Mets Reliever. And his slider is a soother.

I don't want to say that these DPs wouldn't have been turned with Ruben in there ... but given his play of late I'm not so sure they would have been.
All that last one would have taken is a split second hesitation and suddenly inning over morphs into tying run on 1st w/Prince Albert coming up.

Yeah, nice to see Ruben playing with confidence out there.

Nice to see Davis taking his walks, too.

Except that it's Q out there tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

So how often do you suppose that this Jepsen reliever gets teased that his manager will 'call him maybe' about coming in to the game?

[Edgy MD]

Big night for the second string.

[Frayed Knot]

The walks ratio is completely flipped tonight.
OK it's not 10-0 like it was in game 1 of this series, but it is 6-1, in the Mets favor this time, and not surprisingly it's making a huge difference.

and now an HBP

And that close-and-late clutchitude is a little salt in any wound opened up by Q's defensive performance, innit?

Yup.
Not that I think in the long run that Q is going to be more of an offensive force than Tejada, but I am starting to wonder about a defensive gap being more permanent.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

A shortstop who could also lead off makes so much sense for this team, especially if you are expecting C Young to contribute starting next week.

Perhaps Gregorious leaves PHX with us.

It's late. I wrote one while staring at the other.

[Edgy MD]

Tying run at the plate.

A couple of things would make sense.

[Gwreck]

Fuck
