I was being sarcastic.

It wasn't a call. It was a desperate measure. He's not all the way out of my doghouse yet. Dare I request another?

[metirish]

Wow , this game sucks

[Fman99]

Yeah, this hurts me.

[metirish]

wow , this game really sucks , 8-2

[Guest cooby]

Watching the LL playoffs (local team there again, yay!) We saw the Mets have 2 runs and my husband suggested 8 Mets hit by pitch in a row.

[Zvon]

I missed the recent rash of runs. Double, HR, HR.

Niiiice. [ /]

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

So, who replaces Verrett in the rotation? Niese?

[metirish]

Apparently not Niese , Gary says he is hurting too.

[Guest cooby]

Still 8-2?

Considering that Niese gave up six in an inning yesterday it's tough to slot him in to replace the guy who just coughed up five.

I dunno. Maybe its one of Terry's new formula-based pitching decisions.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that was a good option. I just didn't know what the alternate options were.

[metirish]

Come on Bruce for fucks sake

[Fman99]

Signs of life here! 8-5 now.

Judging by today ... Seth Lugo c'mon down!!

I mean with Harvey & Wheeler already not available, Verrett came into this season as the 7th starter so once that option fails it's not like whatever you go to after that is going to be ideal.

[metirish]

Phelps finished second with two other swimmers ......anyway ,Mets chipping away

[Guest cooby]

you mean a three way tie for second?

[Zvon]

8-6. I dunno how yet. I was playing a vid game and listening but the ballgame window crashed at some point. I didn't even notice.

Oh, Travis got it started? Ahhh, some little hits, singles, a double, and even a HBP Coob!

8-6 West Coast Religious Dads


Need a good inning here Hansel.

[Frayed Knot]

Getting the tying run to the plate after the start to this game is something, but we're also past moral victories at this point of the season.



side note: Ledecky just won the 800 meters ... by about 400 meters (OK, probably only by like 50 or 60 meters but it might as well been 400)

Hey, booth, Hall-of-Famer Jim O'Rourke went to Yale.

not sure I like her. Can't really pin down why. But I hope now the poor girl gets some sun

Robles is sporting a Col�nial haircut, and starting to develop a Col�nial gut.

yes

[Zvon]

Okay, I want another home run please lil d'. And if you pull it off I'll never call you lil 'd again.

[Guest cooby]

He might still call you lil z, though

[Frayed Knot]

They should decide who gets the Silver, Bronze, and nothing via an intense session of Rock-Paper-Scissors
(actually I think they just award three Silvers in this case)




Meanwhile, between Keith making references to 'Paint Your Wagon' and 'Archie Bell and the Drells' they should get Warner Wolf to dust off one of his old schticks and comment on some of Keith's commentary:
"... and if you had Keith Hernandez and a reference from the last half century ... YOU LOSE!!!"
