[Guest d'Kong76]

RHP David Phelps, 7-6, 2.52 vs RHP Uncle Bartolo, 12-7, 3.44

Need to step on the gas here. They won the first two games with walk-ons, now they need the pros to finish the job.

[ashie62]

Lets see how many pros are able.

Fish place tonight's schedukled starter Phelps on the DL, so instead we'll encounter the MLB debut of RHP Jake Esch, considered a talented but middling prospect: 26 years old, still kicking around Class AA.

[Edgy MD]

Grandy suddenly hitting cleanup. Flores over Lonesome Dove at first against a righty. Johnson batting eighth when he had hit third and fourth against righties earlier in the week. Bruce buried in the sixth slot.

Terry is rolling the dice. The big, fuzzy ones.

[Edgy MD]

Jake Esch: high upside but frustratingly inconsistent 26-year-old right-hander. Mid-90s fastball, a plus change up, and a plus slider, along with a developing curveball. Gets into control problems, as indicated by his 3.0/9 IP walk rate, along with his underwhelming 6.5/9 IP strikeout rate.

But his middle name is Otto. That's got to be worth something. Jacob Otto Esch. I think he was a higher up in the Luftwaffe.

[Lefty Specialist]

Let's hope their walk-on doesn't perform as well as our walk-ons.

I like our chances.

[Guest d'Kong76]

It's baseball, we're always a blink away from a 8 1/3 gem with two sprinkled-in
hits by the first-time guy... (and if that happens don't anyone try to pin it on me)

[Zvon]

Who got that hit? Awww, fuck that guy.
Double fuck him. Almost had him picked off and then throws one away.
Ichiro on 2nd, no out.

[Zvon]

Yea he scored.



2 run job.

2-1 Mets

Maybe he finally got too close to the tape while it was self-destructing.

[Zvon]

This news about Walker is mind boggling.

Gee, maybe Topps'll make a card for that pitcher-batter confrontation.

[Guest d'Kong76]

That right center spot to Ichiro is where HR's are going to die tonight.

It's probably already up.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Holy hell, Kelly Johnson folks! Kelly Johnson!

[Guest themetfairy]

Woot!

[Chad ochoseis]

FYeah!

[Guest themetfairy]

Schaefer for Kelly!

[Lefty Specialist]

That's a huge Johnson!

Hey, Familia's up for the Mets all-time save record. That could be another Topps card.

[Edgy MD]

I wonder if they'll trade for him next season also.
