What is the season record for hitting into DP's? Because whatever it is, the Mets are going to break it this year.

It's hard to talk about this team near breakable objects.

Flores gets the RBI, but he's just not fast, is he?

Farnsworth enters 8th w/3 run lead: Walk Double Sac Fly Pop Out Walk RBI-Single -- Yanked ... relief gets the first guy to foul out w/runners on 1st & 2nd, thus bailing Farnie's stats out of more ugliness With numbers like that he may have to latch on to another team besides Houston to get his revenge.

Never has a 1-0 lead seemed so insurmountable...

I am the Commissioner of my Fantasy Baseball league at work, and I hate the DH. What more do you need? I'm tanned, relaxed, and ready to go.

So are we now in the dreaded 'closer by committee' zone?

"The design respects and embraces the natural topography of the property" Doesn't bode well for the infielders, then.

When your team hands you a 7-run lead, and all you need is 3 outs for the win, and your manager is bending over backward to give you every chance he can, and you STILL can't get more than one out, then that's ugly. Excited for Montero, too. Glad he's not pitching in the Little League park in the Bronx.

"Watch out for those burgers, kids!" NEW YORK -- Philadelphia Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg and New York Mets first baseman Lucas Duda both came down with food poisoning over the weekend at Citi Field, and both said Tuesday that they believe a hamburger from Shake Shack was the cause. Sandberg told reporters in Philadelphia that he lost 6 pounds in two days. "A couple of coaches took a bite and didn't like what they saw and threw the rest away," Sandberg said. "I was in a rush so I ended up putting it away. "I had one piece of toast in two days, and I'm feeling fine about that. I don't want anything in my stomach." Duda was hospitalized Friday afternoon and later blamed an undercooked hamburger. He confirmed Tuesday at Yankee Stadium that the burger also came from Shake Shack. But a Mets spokesman insisted the hamburger Duda cited came from another Shake Shack location besides Citi Field. Duda missed Friday night's game against the Phillies but was able to return to the Mets' lineup Saturday and has played every game since then. A Mets official said the team is investigating the matter. "The first we heard of this situation was about an hour ago via Twitter," said Greg Waters, senior manager for marketing and communications with Shake Shack. "We're attempting to get in touch with Ryne Sandberg to learn more. At this point we have no further knowledge of the situation, and there have been no other related reports whatsoever. Food safety is of paramount importance to us, and we're connecting with our management team at the Citi Field Shake Shack now to discuss further and find out more."

Wonder if they'd ever press Shecky Greene to try for the four-out save.

What kind of virus puts you on the 15-day DL? Must be something really nasty. Or they just made that up to fudge the roster.

Jeez, Farnsworth is too scary for words. Keith rarely gets excited about a first baseman's play but he was excited about Duda tonight.

Just glad I wore the Depends this morning.

I tell ya, tears are streaming down my face I'm laughing so hard.

We only love Grandma for her bandwidth.

Our beer is good because it's stupidly cold and comes from even more stupidly cold places.

People buy Chevys, act like idiots.

Rumor has it that the Cardinal is a kind of bird or something.

Most pissed person in New York right now? Kaity Tong. No Channel 11 newscast for you.
