Do we see Trachsel go another with 109 pitches? We should with Lima/Maine/Pelfrey and the AS break coming up.

If Bonds or Clemens plays in this All Star game, I will hunt Bud Selig down and beat him to near death with a fungo.

David Wright goes KABOOM! 7-2 Mets.

Poor Cliff. Speaking of poor, the wheels are falling off for Trachsel. 90 pitches and struggling in the 5th.

I know he wasn't nominated in the most pleasant surprise thread, but Jose Reyes looks better to me everyday. I almost want to change my vote.

Cliff may be having a rough offensive season, but he deserves a Purple Heart for the abuse he's taken. Looks to be okay.

Cliff drilled hard in the wrist by a fastball. That hurt...I could hear him yelling al the way in Wisconsin.

Folks start rolling in about the 6th inning or so. The beginnings of games have been slow for the IGTs lately.

Mets add another run in the 3rd without a hit. 3-0 good guys.

Reyes is amazingly fun to watch on the basepaths.

Mets score 2 in the 2nd. Wright doubles, Nady walks, Floyd doubles. Why does Willie have a woody for Woody? It seems like he starts everyday.

I doubt it. He fits in well with what our other 3-5 guys in the rotation can do. Props to Kip for shutting down the Mets after the first though.

I'm sure Willie sent Chavez on a hit and run in the first to "try and get Woody going." Unfortunately, Woody sucks.

Passed ball and a Chavez single. 5-0 Mets, still bottom of first.

Valentin bases loaded double. 3-0 Mets, still in the first.

A first inning run...what a revelation. Reyes triple, LoDuca single, Beltran walk. Mets up 1-0. Still batting.

A 6 hit, 4 run 4th gives the Mets a 4-2 lead.

My God! The Dukes are going to corner the entire frozen orange juice market! Mets offense looking anemic again through 3. 1 hit (erased by a DP).

Joe Randa = professional hitter. Wilson with an RBI single...Mets down early 1-0.

I'd rather start Bell than Lima. Would be about the same result.

Glavine deals through the first...2 Ks and a pop out. Has Sean Casey always been a whiny baby? That's 2 games in a row he's argued called 3rd strikes.

Mets get leadoff batter on in 5 of first 7 innings. Only score 1 run. This team needs help.
