Anyone know how many 9th inning HRs the Mets have given up this year?

They have hospitals in Houston?

Another blown save as two runs cross the plate at the same time.

Well, maybe...a big K to Ersrtad.

Do the Mets ever stop bleeding, once it starts?

And another defensive gem by Delgado. And they get Berkman.

Murphy!!!!! He can throw overalls in my chowder any time.

Not any more. In the absence of Church, Jerry plans to play Tatis in right, and platoon Evans and Murphy in left. Murphy, when asked about his preferred position, said "I don't care, as long as I can hit." He's looked awkward but not impossible in left. But this gives them infielders on both corners.

I woulda moved Beltran to second as soon as Delgado reclaimed cleanup.

Pelfrey 5 Delgado 3 JReyes 1.5 AReyes .5

With me it's simple. I just hate the MFYs getting Nady.

"Racist" has entered the realm of a kind of Gresham's Law of language. It's come to have no meaning at all in so many contexts that it's hard to use in contexts where it does make sense. I know many people of the conservative persuasion, some of them Civil Rights Movement veterans whose hearts have been broken by today's African-Americans not being satisfied and grateful for solving all their problems for them. They rail passionately against racism, but they don't believe that any white racism exists in America any more -- only black racism. And I don't think a guy like Anderson -- or the people that Willie Randolph referred to -- harbor ill will towards black people. I do believe they're racially insensitive, and that they allow themselves to drift into exactly the attitudes Edgy describes it. And I don't have an answer for this, but "racist" has been so co-opted by the right that it's lost meaning -- it degenerates into "You're a racist" -- "No, you're a racist." Which is why I came to disallow the term altogether on my News BB. And Zvon, with all the respect in the world, I think "playing the race card" as a response to every discussion about race falls into the same category. It doesn't have much meaning left. Some discussions about racial attitudes in America are legitimate, and should be heard.

I know -- cups a coffee with the Yanks 6 years ago, good in NOLA. What are our hopes and predictions for him?

??

Pujols strikes out again!

Perez - 5 Delgado - 3 Heilman - 0.5 Wagner - 1.5

Does it bother anyone that on this forum, Mets gets flagged by the spellchecker, and Yankees does not?

So of the ten guys who have done it and who could possibly have played for the Mets, five of them actually have.

Does Aguayo slither?

And if you throw in Hodges, they've had four of that fraternity.

First time it made sense to try, second time it did not.

Any update on Billy's condition?

It's an often-tied, never-beaten single game record. The last three guys who tied it later played for the Mets. What and who?

They had him, he doesn't drop it. Daring baserunning pays off.

He throws it away!!!!!
