Nice pinch knock by Laggy. That's it for James "Panty" Shields.

Dang. Clean single up the middle to break up the awesomeness.

I'm all done with him. He can go sleep on A-Rod's couch.

This game is super interesting.

Four hits for Conforto. Duda and Murphy homers. Cats and dogs living together! MASS HYSTERIA!

How about shitty 1B Mark Johnson from the late 90's early 2000's?

Uribe and KJ are batting .285 and .275 respectively and both slugging over .450. They immediately become the best hitters in the line up (Murphy is at .268 and no other current regular is over .255, and Granderson leads the team with a .422 SLG). No hitter on the 40 man roster has any numbers comparable to these two, except for d'Arnaud who is on the shelf.

Two proven MLB hitters for a couple of middling prospects? That's a good thing. Now, who from the current MLB roster gets the boot? They have to send two guy off into space like Russian dogs.

Jon Niese gave birth to a six run turd on the mound tonight. YUK

Apparently his time is now. http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/13312210/michael-cuddyer-new-york-mets-placed-dl

The rocket scientists at SNY couldn't figure out that the replay of this game would be less enjoyable on nights where they decide to simultaneously scroll the final score of today's game along the bottom of the screen.

Five for 13 tonight with RISP. Over the last ten games prior to tonight, they were 4 for 72 with RISP. That's just daffy.

We can replace Cuddyer's "production" with a mannequin. Preferably a hot one that wants to bang Andrew McCarthy in a department store run by Estelle Getty.

I have a long and checked history on this topic. My father grew up in Flushing in the 1950's, as a Yankee fan, because they were good, and Queens did not have a team, and he had a uncle just 15 years his senior, my great Uncle Boomie, that used to take him to the Bronx for baseball. He maintained his Yankee allegiance through the 1960's, though, after Shea opened, he probably attended far more Mets games than Yankee games due to convenience (my grandparents lived on 141st and 70th Ave, just 15 blocks or so from the stadium). My folks moved upstate after getting married, though my grandparents remained in Queens. I was born in 1973. As a kid, living in the Hudson Valley, we were far outnumbered locally in our neighborhood by Yankee fans, much as my kids are now. And the MFY's were the big deal, due to Reggie and Billy and the "Bronx Zoo." There wasn't all that much cause, as a kid where I lived, to be a Mets fan. My father, ultimately, turned on the MFY's when Steinbrenner bought the team. He was not a fan. As the 1970's progressed, and the part of the Bronx where they played got worse (in his estimation), he switched his allegiance to the Mets. It didn't hurt that my grandparents continued to live in the neighborhood. We made dual purpose visits to Flushing -- dinner with my grandparents and then a game, or, a matinee followed by dinner. As a very young child those trips included my brother and mom, neither of whom was or is a baseball fan, but ultimately, those games were just trips for Fdad and I. My grandparents are not alive any more to visit, but Fboy and I continue the family tradition that Fdad and I started all those years ago.

What a game. Napped through innings 1-5, missed 6-9 at the park pool, and 10-15 at home cooking dinner and doing chores, and still managed to catch the last three innings and the win.

Cuck this game.

Hit, OK? Thanks dudes.

God. Dammit.
