From Swanie in the Met Loving Big Shot Thread ] Fox News Channel gave out thunderstix yesterday. This is the most perfect product placement ever, as both the sponsor and the product serve only to produce useless, annoying noise.

Reyes still in NYC tells us all we need to know.

Yeah I'd not want him. Mark Grace had some expert analysis yesterday , if the Tigers are going to do anything this season they need Ordonez swinging th bat. I used to like him better when he was hammered on air

She's the one that talks from the side of her mouth? , I remember her from CNN/MSNBC but haven't seen her in years...

It would be a whole lot better if the Mets were taking better advantage while the Phillies are losing so many. I'm going to guess that our record over the last twenty games isn't much better than theirs.

That is super cool.

I thought on the replay it looked to me like Schneider was surprised by the throw , if he was he shouldn't have been and it was an ill advised throw by Cora anyway. If you get to see Mets Fast Forward Keith did a great break down of that whole play with a camera view from the blimp, worth checking out. I just checked and Mets Fast Forward is on today at 10AM.

F-Mart down, Evans up Before we get to the lineup, the Mets just announced that Fernando Martinez has been to demoted to Triple-A Buffalo and Nick Evans has been called up. Now the lineup: Cora - ss Murphy - 1b Beltran - cf Wright - 3b Sheffield - lf Church - rf Schneider - c Castillo - 2b Nieve - sp D Lennon

No Mets coach was involved in a trade that darn near destroyed my childhood!

I've been meaning to ask you for years why the girl is your avatar.

We can play .600 ball against this lot , yes we can

="Edgy DC"]J.P. Howell, murdered by tough love. (Special appearance by Jason Roach.) Good link , thanks Just to be sure here , he got pulled because he didn't waste the pitch?

="Gwreck"] Outstanding MGIM. I actually laughed out loud at this report. me too , that was hilarious ] Advantage: Mets! Crawford�s too fast for his own good, with those 36 steals. Meanwhile, Fernando Martinez is trying to make a case to avoid a return trip to Buffalo. LOL

Pratt

Ryan Church D Wright

="Swan Swan H":1unr8eel]Shinjo it is. A ton of guys hit 1-8 before interleague, but only Agbayani and Shinjo had the combination of being not painfully slow and powerful enough to bat fourth in some pretty bad lineups, yet still lousy enough to bat last. Thanks for playing.[/quote:1unr8eel] Worth playing for that summery alone. Benjamin Grimm Jun 18 2009 12:15 PM To add to this, there are only two additional players (after Agbayani and Shinjo) who have batted both 4th and 9th. I discovered this when helping Swan Swan with his trivia question. Anyone care to guess who the two players are? metirish Jun 18 2009 12:18 PM Ryan Church D Wright Edgy DC Jun 18 2009 12:19 PM Zeile.
