As long as none of the Mets come back from the road trip with a case of Desert Fever, I'll be happy.

Later

[Theoldmole]

Never thought it would be, but also my first thought.

Muffy is more aerodynamic w/o the lifelike beard.

Best backup catcher in the biz, probably.

Surely best looking.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That goes without saying.

[Edgy MD]

America voted for David Wright as the Face of Baseball.

David Wright voted for Anthony Recker.

Agreed. But whenever given the opportunity it should be typed.


1-0 after 3. Gee looking like Gee. Even a little better. 'Lil bit. 0 walks 3 Ks.

[Edgy MD]

Ike Davis singles.

I'm supporting the team and buying a ticket to The Adventures of the Three-Headed Firstbaseman.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nieuwy sacflies in dais and its 3-zip with Dreamy hittting now.

[Zvon]

ooo, what a handsome swing.

[HahnSolo]

Arizona playing an awful lot like a team looking to get their manager fired.

[Edgy MD]

Speaking of which, if the White Sox care a whit for Robin Ventura, they better turn it around against the Yankees.

If they care, in fact, for all that is good and holy.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

White Sox are doing fine.

It's the stinko Cubs at MFY Stadium this week.

Meantime Gee perfecto thru 4, but he's still on my shit list for coughing up 2 different leads in his last outing.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Would five more perfect innings get him off your shit list?

[Edgy MD]

Well, then OK. It's a lot to ask of the Cubs.

But come on, baseball, the Yankees aren't going to lose 100 games by themselves!

[Zvon]

Good timing there Mex.

[Edgy MD]

No hitter smashed.

What did Keith do? Did it involve boobies?

Gary did just bring up hot dogs. Ewww, that looks like a big turd.

Keith asked if it was okay to bring up the perfecto , like a second before the guy rips a single.

[Frayed Knot]

Feels like a game where we should be up by more than 3 at this point.
Definitely NOT a time for Gee to have one of those bad innings and give it all back.
The good part is that he's barely over 50 pitches thru five so "the wall" shouldn't be right in front of him yet.
