Make that 4-0 on another bad error by Milledge.

Failure to turn the DP by Pedro is ominously bad...

Rare appearance by Mr. Met at a road game.

MLB.com gameday shows Reyes SS and Valentin 2B as expected.

FUCK! I guess they can stop whining now about how he "isn't clutch."

I'm not sure why -- if we're not going to use the DH to "rest" Delgado, Reyes, Beltran or Wright -- Julio Franco isn't getting the ABs.

Bell 2 Beltran 1 LoDuca 1 Delgado 1 Marrero .25

Box Score

I don't know if it was worse than the loss to the MFYs but it was definetly one of the 5 worst losses of this year. FUCK!

Mr. Randolph to the yellow courtesy phone. Paging Mr. Randolph. GET HIM THE FUCK OUT OF THERE!

This is a really fucking ugly game. Nady. Milledge. Soler. Wright. FUCK!

It must look different from the base because it sure didn't look like Lester's pickoff move was anything special -- but Beltran looked bad getting picked off.

Got a call from a friend at the game. Didn't see them posted online yet...

Doesn't look like Hernandez will be seeing Shea at any time before September, at least not with Jose Valentin producing as he has. Keppinger hasn't gone away either. Vance Wilson seems to be enjoying (and contributing, in limited chances) to the Detroit success this year.

Cornelius made his first rehab start last night as St. Lucie's DH. 1-2 with a Homer and a Walk.

Coming into this series we should have a bullpen advantage, with Mssrs. Heilman, Feliciano and Sanchez (if available) all particularly well-rested. Hopefully we will get into the Sox 'pen, what with the starters they're throwing. Excellent KTE, many thanks.

Papelbon's second blown save of the year. I'm certainly glad the Red Sox pen is being taxed but I think simply getting to the bullpen will be the test for the Mets in the 3 games...

No shocker. Official Release Last Met to win in back-to-back weeks: Jesse Orosco, 1983.

So says Steve Phillips. From today's ESPN chat: Rob (Parsippany, NJ): Steve, What do you consider your best and worst move as GM of the Mets? Drafting David Wright? Trading for Mo Vaughn and Alomar? At least you do not have the Kazmir trade on your resume. Steve Phillips: (3:27 PM ET ) I think it is hard for the best move not to be trading for Piazza and then signing him to a long term deal. The worst move was probably trading Jason Bay. But the Bay deal was very interesting because we had acquired him from Montreal as 1 of 2 players for journeyman Lou Collier, a utility infielder. I never saw Bay play and I felt he was probably a 5th OF at the ML level. So we traded him to San Diego to get some pitchers in return. The Padres then traded him to the Pirates because they thought he was a No. 4 OF at the ML level. Ultimately he became a ROY and top 3 in the All-Star balloting. The lesson to be learned is Canandian players often take longer to develop because they have played far less baseball than kids in the US because of weather primarily. Bay was a late bloomer who may not be done blooming just yet. Plus he is a great kid.
