About time we get a big hit. I can't remember the last time I saw a Met who seemed so in charge of every at-bat as Abreu is. Moises Alou? Unfortunately, he's less playable than Alou.
Sheesh, Dicey, wait until the pitcher toes the rubber before giving up the bunt. These guys are charging so hard they're on his toes. And somehow, he ends up on first. You can't figure out baseball.
Wright has called them in the past. But players-only meetings are like the red button. You'd better use it at the right time, because it's only likely to work the first time or not at all. Mets need to pick each other up, and that's about what needs to be said.
Yope. NOT a banner performance. Congratulations to Montero, but Metzzz need to find offense somewheres, and Allan Dykstra is the arbitrary answer I'm fixating on. Sucks for Murph, but pitching and defense can't carry you forevs.

Wow, how brutally predictable was that double-play? I'm starting to believe in bunting, bunting, bunting! (Not that bunting into double plays is impossible.) (Nymr is my only posting buddy here, but he only posts after double plays.)
Montero staying in the game to bat with 10 strikeouts and 102 pitches thrown. Like the guts, but it sure undermines our inning. Got to rip Arroyo up. Maybe next inning.
