  1. That nine-pitch top of first is really going to tax Wang.

I'm not so sure the sixth inning of a game, even if you're down 3-0, is the time to worry about getting guys work. They have a game to win and they have at least one reliever that's unavailable. Yeah, I hoped for more. I think Howie and Josh were trying to say--and you may have a better recollection than I, as I had little Solo chiming in from the back seat--is that Miggie needed to give Terry some extended work here with a short bullpen. It just happened that Terry was also looking to get him some work. Considering that they also double-switched Duda out of the game, I hoped we could get innings 6-7-8 out of Batista.
  3. What grapefruits by Parnell. Get the man a fucking run and a win here, offense. You owe him.
  4. Just back from a meeting. First base open, Quintinilla on deck, and Matheny let a lefty pitch to Hairston?
  5. Ceetar wrote: But if you think that's impressive, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Dickey extended his winning streak to three straight starts, a rather humble run of success ... unless you consider that he struck out 30 batters and walked only one in those games. Only six other pitchers in major-league history posted wins in three straight starts, recording at least 30 strikeouts and walking fewer than two batters. That impressive list includes not only the aforementioned Santana, but also Walter Johnson, Bert Blyleven, Frank Tanana, Mike Mussina, and Pedro Martinez, who did it twice. Rareified Air Dickey.

Later Mike won't make it 3 minutes in without offering a backhanded congratulations and then branch off to trading him on a high note. Santana is one of the few Mets who Mike gets on regularly. He'll give Johan big props, but oh, yeah, he'll bring up the Beltran play. I bet Mike will have him on.
  7. Understatement of the year from Mrs. Solo: "they'll probably show this as a Mets classic."
  8. The video at this link has Howie's call, which gave me goosebumps. http://deadspin.com/5915105/?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_facebook&utm_source=deadspin_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
  9. Little Solo kept telling his mom to stop talking and asking questions so she wouldn't jinx it. I've never been prouder of my kid talking back to my wife.
  10. 8 down 1 to go. He'll get it.

  12. Maybe Bucket can throw some vitriol Jon Niese's way.

  14. I felt for sure the new posts in this thread were going to be about Acosta.
  15. Twenty-nine-year-old righthander grabbed off waivers from the White Sox.Pitched in two Sox games in 1989. Looking to build on his 13 days of service time. ?

If you answered "yes", you're full of shit. If I do that and pretend there's no red hair, it looks like Jin from Lost.
  17. @AdamRubinESPN Scout watching Zack Wheeler says he's ready for Buffalo. "94-95 mph with usable offspeed stuff. He overmatched these guys."
  18. Ceetar wrote: when Gary first said "Gorkys Hernandez" I though he was saying "Poor Keith Hernandez" like he had to hang out with the Phillie Phantic or something. I had Yorkis Perez flashbacks, shivers.
  19. If we weren't already there, I think we've gotten to the "what are they waiting for?" point.
  20. I didn't even know there was a Chicago Bull mascot.

It can help a player, if he uses the time profitably. I don't know about Ike, but you sure jinxed Del Zotto, who had the crappiest of crappy first periods last night.
