Coobs, no offense... but that's like finding Koufax underwhelming.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Just as ESPN piles on even more surpurlatives on Kershaw, A Cabra-kaboom!

[Zvon]

Cabrera was not being counted on for a home run, so we are still due.

Oh Bastardo, if you don't hold it here I will say nasty things about you, and maybe your mom. Depends on the severity.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Bastardo back in the saddle. Good. We'll need him.

Have to imagine Reed gets some work in the eighth or ninth, yeah?

[Zvon]

SITDOWN UTLEY!!!!!!!!!That's where you punch him. Right in the out.

[Guest themetfairy]

I'm watching the game on ESPN Deportes. It's way more pleasant than listening to the asswipes on the English telecast.

We shall see. Everything is out of flux cuzza the Thor toss. Or maybe it's out of phase. In this case it is phase, isn't it?

Nice pitch down and in on the black to strike out Utley.

That pitch was closer to Utley than Syndergaard's "slip" yesterday.

Don't be getting me re-riled, maaan.

[Zvon]

Of course it was the Leprechaun's first stolen base of the season. Of course it was ><

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The gnome steals second to get into scoring position, Bastardo strands him.

[Zvon]

Whew. Bastardo, may your mother live long and prosper.




Preferably in army boots. No dis, they are "in" these days

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

A little wild, but ultimately pretty solid. Bastardo in a nutshell, really.

(And yes, Z, it is "phase.")

Umps are killing us.

[bmfc1]

The skill level of MLB umps is pathetic. Most of them could be fired and replaced by random college umps and we wouldn't know the difference.

How do you miss a ball hitting the dirt in front of you when it kicks up actual dirt in doing so?

Why oh why when I was growing up didn't I consider being an ump! I could pull my eyes out and cover my ears and I'd be better than 50% of the umps out there. And what a great seat for the game!!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Campbell thinks he needs to recreate the "Ball gets by Buckner" moment.

Lonely can't get here soon enough.

[Zvon]

Campy can make me look really good here.....by bunting??!!! GAHHHHHH

lolugh

[Zvon]

Hmm. First time I've whipped out my shit list this season. What's Eric's middle name? I don't want to be misconstrued.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Bunting would have been a decent idea there... y'know, if any of these guys could execute a bunt.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Curtis is a bad ass!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

CURTIS MY MAN

[Guest cooby]

Good. It's about damn time.

2-2 Mets!

[Lefty Specialist]

Jeurys, testing my patience again with the leadoff hit. But then he makes Utley look bad, so bygones.

He's been good at that lately.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Granderson and the Mets benefit from a questionable pitcher change by Roberts of the Dodgers.

Unless Kershaw was totally gassed I would have left him in for Granderson, then gone to their closer Janson. If your going to lift Kershaw, you have to go to your closer. I would have left Kershaw in to face Granderson.

Of course, I wouldn't go to Familia in a non-save situation here. Of course, managing from my lounger with a cold beer in my hand, is easy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Thanks be for weak bats. Frankly, the idea of Utley versus a wobbly Family with men on made me a little worry-woozy.
