I haven't even poured my fucking drink yet. For the love of Mike.

2. None of the 2009 Mets have perished in a grease fire. (Wait, maybe not a positive.)

Let's accentuate the positives here. 1. The game looks nice on my big 46" HDTV. Nice crisp foul lines.

OK, let's fire this fucker up, cleanse the palate, start fresh here. Last night's game is lingering in my mouth like a certain substance deposited there by a certain guy to a certain other guy in compensation for a ride once when I was stuck on the side of the road.

I have to believe you made the entire thing up. So, in that case, nice work. Sounds plausibly terrible.

Tatis 1 AHernandez 1 Pagan .5 Castillo .25 Wright .25 Murphy .25

Tatis with the 2 RBI double. Good thing Sheff's not in there! (Derp.)

Pagan kicking the ball around like A-Rod out there. Missed two cutoff men.

Fuck Mark Reynolds. Fuck Miguel Montero. Fuck them in their stupid asses.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 08:35 PM Castillo's gimping again. Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 08:39 PM It's like every single mistake of any kind this year has led directly to runs. It's bad enough that they've made a ton of them but would it be so bad if we could maybe get away unscathed once or twice? Fman99 Aug 10 2009 08:40 PM Tatis with the 2 RBI double. Good thing Sheff's not in there! (Derp.) John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 08:44 PM Spectacularly nonproductive out by Muffy there. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 08:44 PM Triple for Tatis, replay shows him jogging slowly out of the box. That couldn't have been an inside-the-parker right? Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 08:49 PM And now this AB - with no one on - the pitcher swings like a 3rd grade girl. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 08:53 PM Wow. I think walking AndyHandy is worse than walking the pitcher. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 09:01 PM Arizona's running the bases well. John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 09:01 PM Now that was Tatis not hustling. Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 09:02 PM Oh good, there's another mistake which will come back to bite us.

The Community Chest pile has dealt a few bank errors in our favor, though-- yesterday's no-touch-a-the-plate call being one. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 09:05 PM They're hitting peas. Elster88 Aug 10 2009 09:07 PM He hit that so hard that with Francoeur's arm Oeltjen might not score if Tatis holds him to a single. Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 09:10 PM So let's review: - not getting the ball in allows the runner to get to 2nd - if that doesn't happen then there's no need for the IW a batter later - also the subsequent FO to CF doesn't result in a tag to 3rd - and finally, when one more out would allow us to escape unscathed, Pelfrey serves up a 2-out RBI single because there's some kind of fucking law that prevents him from getting an out there. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 09:11 PM As soon as he's in the stretch, he's like a fidgety middle-schooler on a date, trying his first yawn-and-stretch. I'm kind of sick of watching Pelfrey, frankly, and could do without it for a while. Valadius Aug 10 2009 09:11 PM We need a famous Queens native to inspire our intrepid heroes. Frayed Knot Aug 10 2009 09:25 PM It's like Pelfrey has two paths he takes; the innings are either 1-2-3 or he gives up runs. John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 09:58 PM Nice of Elmer "Hanging Slider" Dessens and Anderson "Badly Timed Jump" Hernandez to each do their best to give Rusty Ryal a hit in his first big-league turn at bat. John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 10:03 PM Muffy's having a hell of a game. John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 10:14 PM All this lousy play, then they go and tease us with a tiny rally that ends when Castillo of all people whiffs.

Eight straight Mets outs. Much like I am about to do, the Mets seem to be laying down.

At this point I'd rather watch a spinoff of the NY NY Sports Sports guys.

Holy fucking hell. A two run double to the pitcher. Pagan diving for a ball he couldn't catch, again, to let a second run score that would not have had he pulled up. And so it continues. Maybe Pelf can get Yahoo Serious to pop up.

="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr":1hlipy4r]Oh, yeah, forgot to mention: the guy they called up to take Upton's slot-- Trent Oeltjen-- is a dirty, thieving Aussie.[/quote:1hlipy4r] I'd rather go bowling with a caveman than hang out with that guy. Ashie62 Aug 10 2009 08:01 PM That Gary, Keith (Vacation sash) & Ron banner was classic John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 10 2009 08:12 PM Fucking pitcher driving in 2 runs. metsguyinmichigan Aug 10 2009 08:13 PM Freaking pitchers hitting two-run doubles.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 10 2009 08:15 PM A) All else being equal, intentional walks suck as a strategic move. Angel Pagan is NOT a great defensive outfielder. Worse, he seems to think he is.

="metirish"]] GOOD NEWS: There's In-and-Out Burger AND Chick-Fil-A here? I just got an eat-rection! GOOD NEWS: Just about six months until pitchers and catchers report! Hilarious Kudos LWFS. I don't think I have to tell you that the word "eat-rection" has now entered my vocabulary.

Sheff gets no love or at-bats. I guess we don't need a power hitter out there. [sigh]

Problem! I've been drinking since 6 PM, yes, EST. Go Mets! or something resembling that.

Darling and Rickey were teammates for five years in Oakland.

I stayed up for the Rickey interview. Here we go.

God, I wish I could go bowling with some cavemen.
