Pedro, do NOT be hurt. Do NOT.

QUACK!

Tigers, Tigers, burning bright, never going to make it through the American League but if they do we'll kick their ass. I don't want drama; I don't want tension. I want a short series that ends with a Mets parade. That scenario never, ever, ever includes the Yankees. Ever.

I always liked Jim Kaat as a kid, because his baseball card had reeeeeeeally tiny print on the back, and he looked like he was about 80 years old.

Hate to be a noodge, but let's look at the other options that day: Seattle at Chicago Sox 1:20 PM FOX Washington at NY Mets 1:20 PM FOX Florida at Philadelphia 1:20 PM FOX LA Angels at Oakland 4:05 PM FOX Boston at Toronto 4:07 PM Minnesota at Baltimore 4:35 PM Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati 6:10 PM San Francisco at Milwaukee 7:05 PM St. Louis at Houston 7:05 PM Detroit at Kansas City 7:10 PM NY Yankees at Tampa Bay 7:15 PM Cleveland at Texas 8:05 PM Atlanta at Colorado 8:05 PM Pittsburgh at San Diego 10:05 PM Arizona at LA Dodgers 10:10 PM Gotta have a 1:00 game, so let's rule out the non-Eastern time zone games, because you're not going to start a game at 10 am in San Diego. That leaves us: Seattle at Chicago Sox 1:20 PM FOX Washington at NY Mets 1:20 PM FOX Florida at Philadelphia 1:20 PM FOX Boston at Toronto 4:07 PM Minnesota at Baltimore 4:35 PM Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati 6:10 PM NY Yankees at Tampa Bay 7:15 PM Not a single one of those games has any postseason buzz at all. Seattle, Washington, Toronto, Boston, Baltimore, the Cubs, and Tampa have all been eliminated since mid-July. That leaves Florida/Philly, but Florida doesn't have any fans and Philly's going to be long dead by then. Keeping only teams with some postseason life, that leaves us: Seattle at Chicago Sox 1:20 PM FOX Washington at NY Mets 1:20 PM FOX Minnesota at Baltimore 4:35 PM Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati 6:10 PM NY Yankees at Tampa Bay 7:15 PM Considering that the Cubs suck and that the Reds have nobody named "Griffey" that anyone's ever heard of, that game's out. Minnesota and Baltimore have a combined population smaller than East Flatbush, so they're out. That leaves Seattle/Chicago, Mets/Nats, and Yanks/Rays. FOX already has two of those, and if they were showing the Yankees, the "East Coast Bias" wankers would wank even louder. So it seems like a logical choice to me.

From Hardball Times: ]St. Louis Cardinals closer ,Jason Isringhausen, has about three weeks left in his major league career. Izzy is leading the National League in blown saves and now we know why. He has an arthritic left hip that is in much worse condition than what was known by the public. Isringhausen has inflammation in his hip along with an overall degrading of the hip joint, to the point that lubrication injections and every conceivable non-invasive type were used to help improve his hip malady. Some work, but only in the short term. Think of it as a band-aid approach to get him through the season. Isringhausen is scheduled to get a cortisone injection and not pitch for about a week. The hope is the inflammation will quiet down enough for him to pitch the last couple of weeks of the season, and if the Cardinals are lucky, into the postseason. Because the hip is unstable and Isringhausen struggles with mobility, the future is bleak. If there was a treatment that would mask or allow him to pitch more effectively, the Cardinals medical staff has likely tried it or considered it. The likely scenario after the season is for Isringhausen to visit a collection of specialists then have hip surgery to help ease the pain. He's likely to have the joint shaved, and it's believed he can lead a normal non-baseball life. It has been a terrific career but sadly, Isringhausen is facing near impossible odds to pitch in the majors after this season.

Jerry Seinfeld here and YOU THERE!

That's a ballsy custom designation, methinks. Congrats on spending all your waking moments here like the rest of us.

LoDuca drives in Reyes and it's 7-4!

Wild pitch! 5-4 Mets!

I don't think Jesse O would be eligible for the postseason roster.

You know? I guess I see where Willie's coming from. They really don't need to win tonight. You'd like to take two out of three, but you'd also like to see Ledee get a fucking hit once in a while. Me, I'd rather drop the fucking hammer on 'em and end the game. But they never even interviewed me before they hired Willie.

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmetsies! Ledee?!?! Is Willie drunk?

I guess not. Is he dinged up?
