Mayday, mayday, we're going down...mayday.

12 strikeouts for Brave batters today. Good for us, not so good for them.

I always think Bib Fortuna.

Nice double switch, Willie.

We owed Moylan a run from last night anyways.

We might get lucky and Lima etc might throw a decent start or two but I just don't get why we can't bring up the likes of Bell and put Heillman back in the rotation. I disagree, Heilman is far more valuable as a reliever, no matter who the starting pitching is. Who cares if we are going to the 8th or 9th starter on the DC if we are leading the NL in victories and ERA. Don't fix it until it's broke.

Gameday has it as E5 on Chipper.

Valentin pinch hitting instead of pinch outing. First and second, one out for the top of the order in the 7th.

Stomach flu?

Crap...long ball by LaRoche. 3-2 Bravos.

Met killer strikes again. Larry with an RBI single ties the game in the 6th.

Can Oliver start tomorrow, too?

Oliver rolling through the 4th...how much gas does he have?

Carlos goes KABOOM!!! No, the other one.

MLB Gameday says Fortunato is available in the Mets bullpen.

Ouch, Darren Oliver - the new/old John Maine.

Helluva line though: 1.1 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 BB, 3 K Zambrano - the new Jorge Julio.

Darren Oliver, what you got Darren? 6 or 7 innings?

Zambrano effective in the first, striking out Giles and Larry.

Floyd 2 Wright 1 Reyes 1 Matsui 1 Beltran 1 Delgado 1 Sanchez 1 Heilman 1 Julio 1

Julio impressive, most impressive.

Let's try it one more time with song: Lido missed the boat That day he left the shack But that was all he missed He ain't comin' back At a tombstone bar In a juke-joint car he made a stop Just long enough To grab a handle off the top Next stop Chi'town Lido put the money down Let her roll He say, "one more job oughta get it One last shot 'fore we quit it" One for the road Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh.... He's for the money, he's for the show Lido's a-waitin' for another go Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.... He said, "one more job oughta get it" "One last shot, we quit it" "One more for the road" Lido be runnin', Havin' great big fun 'til he got the note Sayin' "toe the line or blow it" And that was all she wrote He be makin' like a beeline, Headin' for the borderline, goin' for broke Sayin, "one more hit oughta do it" "This joint, ain't nothin' to it" "One more for the road" Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh.... He's for the money, he's for the show Lido's a-waitin' for another go Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.... "one more job oughta get it" "One last shot, and we quit it" "One more for the road" Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh.... He's for the money, he's for the show Lido's a-waitin' for another go Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh....
