Niese 4 Wright 2 Davis 3 Tejada .5

Omir Santos optioned to AA , Lennon speculating it sets up for Jesus Feliciano rising up to the big club for Tuesday.

Hanley Ramirez has fast become a player I really dislike , for a lot of reasons.

He's clean as the driven snow....says Ken Rosenthal... http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/Ken-Griffey-Jr-will-be-remembered-for-playing-clean- it reads as almost more hopeful than anything else.

Because there are only two catchers on the Buffalo team, Thole and JR House. And Thole is day to day from a concussion from a batter's backswing. Why not Feliciano? Because the only other centerfielder on the Buffalo team (at least, the only other one you'd want to see play there), Pridie, is on the DL. I hope that when Pridie returns, and Blanco feels a little bit better, we'll see Santos go back down and Feliciano brought up. But, since Pridie is on the 40 man roster, who knows? Later Thanks Omar

WOW, Ramirez was less than hustling out of the box on that.....made the difference. I thought Wright had no chance with that.

Omir is up to take Ollie back with him to Buffalo.

It's a masterpiece , it should be a fun series. Who's dick is up next?

is this how you envisioned this thread progressing?....

No need for a "memories of " thread , move along , nothing to see at all.

Yesterday afternoon I was in my car driving and I put on the "FAN", thinking that perhaps, the station might be carrying the Buffalo game because Strasburg was pitching. Instead, the station was broadcasting its normal programming, which at that moment was Mike Francesca. Mike was browbeating some caller-in who thought that MLB should institute some form of replay. Francesca's argument (harangue, really) against replay was based entirely on the premise that Mike was comfortable with the current state of things. "I'm fine with the way things are" said Mike. And that was that. It was the Mikey Likes It defense. I just remembered Francesca mocking that caller by repeating like three or four times in a row: "Whaddya want? Robots? You want Robots? Robots? Is that what you want?" I heard him , maybe it was the same caller.......Francesa was all belligerent with this one caller who's opening gambit was fuel to Frances'a fire...." I think you're totally wrong on this Mike and I'll tell you why"......" WAS HE SAFE OR OUT....HUH....HUH...YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT....THERE'S NO MECHANISM IN BASEBALL TO CHANGE THE CALL......I'M ASKING YOU, WAS HE SAFE AT FIRST OR OUT?....."ah , Mike , you really think he was safe?"......" WELL WAS HE CALLED SAFE...HUH ....HUH..." It was hilarious...

Great stuff.... who knew that a Dick would be the first Met in team history to record five hits in a game , we need to stay tuned to see how many Dicks the Mets have had?

I really like #7

Selig says no.

What does Jeter think?

Galarraga lost his bid for a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning on a disputed call at first base by Joyce on Tuesday night.

tweet from heyman via Keith Olbermann "selig involved , will have statement today, commissioners office meeting to discuss "imperfect game"

The camera angles will make it tough to watch though.

Bobby V. I was working construction at the then soon to be USA Tennis Center in Flushing , living in Woodside and taking the 7 back and forth, got curious about the big and beautiful blue stadium across the way and the rest as they say is history....torturous but history all the same.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Gallaraga may be able to take some consolation in the thought that he'll end up with more immortality because of this than he would have if he had actually gotten credit for the perfect game. Exactly , and he's already getting this kind of talk in the media, the way he responded during and after the game, the things he said , it's hard not to respect the person he is with the way he has handled it all. Gallaraga even said he feels worse for Joyce than he does for himself.
