I liked it more than the first too, I liked the romance side of it, kinda tied things up for me.

Seo - 5Reyes - 2Beltran - 1Hernandez - .5Looper - .5Wright - 1edit , I forgot about Wright.

Oout of Towners for the 5th..Livan not happy about getting lifetd as Nats lose 6 - 5 to Padres..] Nationals starter Livan Hernandez tossed a glove, cap and jacket into the stands after being lifted in the sixth inning, and Washington went on to lose 6-5 to the San Diego Padres on Friday night on an unearned run in the ninth inning. Never one who likes to leave a game before he thinks his night's work his done, Hernandez walked very deliberately off the mound. As he reached the dugout, he threw his glove underhand into about the fifth row. After stomping down the steps, he flung a red hat, followed a few seconds later by a red warmup jacket. Florida beat the Reds 5 - 1St. Louis are beating the Braves 11 - 1Phillies got beat by the Brewers 3 - 1

Yes Cooby, the local commercials are a treat, the Cub guys are far better than the White Sox guys, those two are brutal.

Reyes extends his hitting streak to 18 games, longest ever by a Mets SS, watched the game on WGN, not terrible either, Bob Brenly in the Seaver role, not all that bad.

Cubs fans are not a happy lot either,http://www.northsidebaseball.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=23953

Kerry Wood is expeacted to get activated today, he'll pitch out of the bullpen, interesting.]� The first thing we have to do is get him in a game. We don't know if it's going to be a meaningful situation. But at this time of year, all of our games are critical. If he can give us three important innings a week, we'll take it. � Larry Rothschild, Cubs pitching coach,on Kerry Wood

Bump, so what's new with the Cubbies, does Dusty want out so he can manage the Dodgers?

Bert goodlong ball nots good

Great stuff Frayed Knot, I didn't see the game and I've been hearing the callers on the WFAN tonight scream about the very things you just explained, good job by you getting the numbers and all that, a little truth and perspective is welcome.

Excellent observation, I can't say I ever connected the two but I don't drink Miller beer,definitly somethin a used car salesman would do though.

Joe Gergan on August baseball for the Mets..]As August sizzles, Mets fizzle As August sizzles, Mets fizzleThese are the times that fry men's soles. It's hot, it's humid, it's sticky, it's exhausting, it's the eighth month of the year. August in New York never has been confused with autumn by any songwriter of note.For major-league baseball players, the season is two-thirds complete. Already, there is wear and tear on their bodies. Now the strain begins to seep into their minds. Pennants rarely are won in August but more than a few have been lost amid the dog days and breathless nights. "It's a grind," Mets first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz said. "The more games you play, the longer the season seems. It's hot and the travel begins to catch up to you. You've got to care of yourself, get your rest, get sleep, but still keep the cardio going."For only a few times in their history have the Mets mastered the art of baseball in August. Yes, the franchise has a losing record overall, but in no other month have the Amazin's lost at a similar rate. Their 11-17 mark a year ago not only effectively erased them from postseason consideration but also lowered their lifetime performance in the month to 560-674, a percentage of .454."Last year was so bad," leftfielder Cliff Floyd said, "I was ready to go to LaGuardia the whole last month." Playing in August is taxing on the best and best-conditioned of athletes. It's even worse when the team has to check the newspapers to find a pennant race.That's when the mental fatigue threatens to overwhelm the physical, or at least magnify the soreness. "When you're in pressure situations or exciting situations, the adrenaline takes over," pitcher Tom Glavine said. "You feel the aches and pains far less."The Mets felt very good Monday night after their first game of the month, even though it required 11 innings and consumed 4 hours, 28 minutes.They took the field at Shea Stadium last night with a spring in their step despite a 90-degree reading and were even more energized after carrying a 4-3 lead into the eighth inning behind Pedro Martinez. Then Martinez departed and the Mets wilted.Game time today is 12:10. Hoo boy."You've got to keep fighting one day at a time," Floyd said shortly before he smote a long home run off the top of the Big Apple just to the right of centerfield in the second inning. "You keep fighting 'til the ninth inning and at the end of the day, you see what happens."It's been five years since the Mets truly prospered in August. They won 20 of 29 in the month and placed themselves in contention for the wild-card berth that they punched as their ticket to a Subway Series against the Yankees. It was only one victory shy of the 21-10 and 21-11 records posted by the 1969 and 1986 teams, respectively. Not only did both reach the World Series but they ultimately prevailed against the American League champions.Such is their position now - last in the National League East but one game over .500 - that a similar surge might mark this as a September to remember. But a repeat of last August or, worse, the 6-21 they experienced in 2002, likely would bury them unless they had the clout to earn immediate transfer to the woeful NL West.Glavine was unaccustomed to playing out the string during the last 12 of his 15 seasons in Atlanta. With first place at stake, inspiration overcomes perspiration. "The mental fatigue is less if you're in a pennant race," he said. "If not, you've got to come to the park with your own motivation.""That's when you hope you've got strong individuals for teammates," said Mientkiewicz, who spent last August with the streaking Red Sox after three consecutive playoff seasons with the Twins and had three hits last night. "This is the farthest out of first place I've been in six years. But we've still got a shot."That shot grew longer last night when the Mets evened their August record at 1-1 with a 6-4 defeat at the hands of the Brewers. Not only did they lose the opportunity to gain a game on the first-place Braves but they fell farther behind the Nationals and the Phillies in their own division. The aches ached a little more.But today's a new day. Pass the sun screen.

WOW, I'm pissed, won't even watch the replay of this.

Whats the score, gameday seems to have gone belly up on me.thanks Lundy....shitfuck

please no, not today

Which of the two Dire Straits songs did Woodie have playing for him, I've noticed he alternates depending on whether he's starting or pinch hitting, Sultans if he starts and Money for nothing if he is pinch hitting.

Gameday is a bit wonkie today, Beltan singled to start the inning, Wright walked, Piazza SO swinging.

Bottom of the 8th, Santana pitching to Wright, David has two walks and a single and a groudout in the game, Woodie on deck, Piazza in the hole.

And the Brew crew inch closer, 8 - 7, Moeller at the plate, Graves deals and....pop out to Wright

Geoff Jenkins singles on a fly ball to right fielder Mike Cameron. Carlos Lee to 2nd. Top 8TH B:0 S:0 O:0Offensive Substitution: Pinch hitter Trent Durrington replaces Russell Branyan. Top 8TH B:0 S:0 O:0Pitcher Change: Danny Graves replaces Dae-Sung Koo, batting 9th.

Mr. Koo in to face Jenkins, Lee on first no outs.
