Well, I'm awake. (And since my other entertainment options are a book about virology I'm not particularly enjoying, an iffy bunch of graphic novels, and Pulp Fiction in Spanish... hello, Whale's Vagina!)

[Edgy MD]

Some serious Metting about to happen. Oh, blessed sight upon my eyes.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice piece of hitting by Grandy. His running to first, though, was not the most Beltranian of endeavors, aesthetically. (I was a little concerned he might hit himself in the face with his heel or something.)

[Fman99]

Ah, sweet, sweet baseball. 1-0 good guys courtesy of D'Arnaud.

[Edgy MD]

The radio booth is saying Omar Minaya is the de facto GM with San Diego. He's not a candidate for the big chair, but apparently he's going to be trusted to do some dismantling here.

Duquette being very gracious with his memories of Omar Minaya.

Mets take the leadovich.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Little-d damage!

Waited on it, compact swing, back through the box. Nice chopper, there.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Is it me, or is Ian Kennedy's beard coloring a little distracting?

[Edgy MD]

Maybe Terry is looking to give Nieuwie a real look here.

[Edgy MD]

God bless the two-run flare when it works for my team.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

TWIRL

[Ceetar]

3-0! dunker!

Seems fair to give Nieuwenhuis a shot. imo he's shown that he can probably do what you expected Young to do, strike out way too much but deliver some serious SLG/speed/defense otherwise.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Speaking of real looks... quite the seeing-eye bloop from Ol' Johnny Lags.

YOU TRY PUSHING TWO CHILDREN OUT OF A LEMON-SIZED OPENING, JEDD JERK-O

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If Colon's this sharp in the first...

[Edgy MD]

Nine-pitch first inning for Bartololo.

I say this phrase approximately no times per year.

Stake him to a lead, in a big park, against a batch of quad-A humps.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, dat hustle. Granderson really is a superb leadoff guy, ain't he?

[Edgy MD]

I somehow have the Mets radio broadcast and the Padres TV feed almost perfectly synced.

[Centerfield]

Colon is going to pitch a perfect game. We deserve it after our wait.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Y'know what's a really awesome sync? If you play Primus during any Bartolo at-bat. It's like his gut is playing slap bass.

Mets hitters picking up right where they left off! The SHaMs official mascot approves.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I find nothing enjoyable about that image.

[Guest themetfairy]

I love that image. It reminds me of MK as a baby.
