...aaaaand Cabrera might have hurt himself bad running the bases. Looked like his knee. Looked pretty bad. Slipped on 3rd rounding the bag.

Hey, a hit with a runner in scoring position [u:fbc38bcr]AND[/u:fbc38bcr] no one needed to be hospitalized as a result.
Most teams would call that standard operating procedure. On this team it's called progress.

[Zvon]

De Aza de useful! RBI single. One more good thing and all his body parts will be outta my doghouse.




2-1 Mets.[/bigpurple]

The video of Cabrera looked horrible.

A strained patellar tendon in his left knee. No word on the severity.

Suck it up and take your base Wilmer.

NIMMO RBI SINGLE!!!

3-1 NY

If I'm gonna tear him a new one when he sucks, I'll commend him when he don't. De Aza is hitting .387 in July.

So they're telling us that there was enough "definitive proof" in that replay to overturn that call?

[Zvon]

Ughhhhhhhhhh, Rockies Blackmon, new to my nemesis list, scores on a...

WHOA, CarGo out at the plate on a freaky passed ball play!

They will review. I say he's out. Keith says safe. OUT CONFIRMED!

[Frayed Knot]

In my view, this replay was no more or no less 'definitive' than the last one, but one got overturned and the other didn't.
Personally I wouldn't have flipped either of them but I'd do that for every replay where there's not 'clear and convincing' evidence to do so and then maybe it would stop managers from challenging every call that maybe/might/could go there way if someone would only get the magnifying glass out.

Blevins can't hold 'em

4-3 Boulders

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

holy shit, Neil Walker is back

[Zvon]

wow.

[Frayed Knot]

Loney (at least temporarily) takes over helmet removal duty.

[Zvon]

I love these HR charts.

Well, when we hit one. The Stanton ones gave me conniptions.

If we traded Reed he wouldn't be able to do what he does for us.

I was watching last night's game on the inter webs. The Mets were up 2-0 when a serious thunderstorm came through. A thunderstrike fried our modem and I've been offline ever since. I'm borrowing a neighbor's network now. Everything's been good since then, right?

Who is our new shortstop? Flores with Reynolds at 3rd?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Not for nothing, but I hear Ruben's been DFAed.
