Bloodlust is fine. As far as I know, we're not running the team. So there's really no need to view things dispassionately. By the way, even with Wright back, this is a sad team to roll out there each evening. At least we're not the Cubs. They suck without nearly the injuries the Muts have had this season.

Does my head look fat in this helmet?

Another banner start for the tall glass of water. Big Mike has really taken a step back this season. I blame Warthen, but then again I love to point fingers.

Very nice to see. Mr. Schneider, please take your seat. We'll call you if we need you.

A.P. reports today that Reyes may need surgery to repair the hamstring tendon. If that's the case, somebody's fucking head has to roll. This shit should have been handled long ago, and I don't want to hear any bullshit about having him trying to work through the injury.

If TMFY's claimed Carter, it has to mean that every other team passed on him. What a bunch of douches. Then again, if he can't get hurt this way...

Five pitchers in a 10-3 game that was 8-3 after 7. Jerry loves his match-ups. Or maybe he was just trying to get the bullpen some work.

Anyhow, RBI single for The Terror in the Two-Hole, Wilson Valdez. Edgy DC Aug 27 2009 12:41 PM Two-run double for Murphy and the rout is on! HahnSolo Aug 27 2009 12:41 PM "Omar Santos out at home on runner's fielder's choice" Someone please 'splain. Benjamin Grimm Aug 27 2009 12:41 PM There was a wild pitch, Santos started heading home, but the ball bounced back more quickly than he expected, and he scrambled back to third base, but not in time. Mets now up 7-1. The Marlins are looking like a very bad team today. HahnSolo Aug 27 2009 12:41 PM Single, double, walk. Sadly, this might be a career day for Anderson Hernandez. Edgy DC Aug 27 2009 12:44 PM ="HahnSolo"]Single, double, walk. Sadly, this might be a career day for Anderson Hernandez. That's "single double, intentional walk." Ho-ho! OE: And Francoeur singles Murph and the Magictones home! This is the best Mets team ever! metsguyinmichigan Aug 27 2009 12:48 PM Jose "Wally Pipp" Reyes might want to get his ass back in the lineup or watch Wilson run away with his job! Edgy DC Aug 27 2009 01:04 PM MANderson Hernandez flies out to left. MFS62 Aug 27 2009 01:06 PM Memo to Tim: Try a different pitch with the guy the next time you face him. Later Benjamin Grimm Aug 27 2009 01:14 PM Redding has made it to the 7th! But Uggla leads of the inning with a long home run to left that's just fair. MFS62 Aug 27 2009 01:16 PM Redding had 80 pitches his last outing, and he's close to that number now. Later Edgy DC Aug 27 2009 01:25 PM Redding pulls up on the stick at 6 2/3. A smattering of applause as he exits with an ERA under six. Benjamin Grimm Aug 27 2009 01:26 PM Redding's beard is a bit much. Benjamin Grimm Aug 27 2009 01:29 PM Tatis just hit the ball, on a fly, over the outfield wall. I find myself unfamiliar with such a phenomenon. Edgy DC Aug 27 2009 01:31 PM They have a name for those. I read about it once. What did he do? Is it like a foul and he has to keep batting? LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 27 2009 01:40 PM What the hell have I stumbled into here? AndyNandy an offensive threat? Fair balls over walls? For US? We're on a hellmouth, aren't we?

Gload out at second Wait... what happened? Did Stokes not pitch to a batter? The only way that happens is if there's an... injury. Edgy DC Aug 27 2009 01:44 PM We need to look into that. You know, no matter how many 2009 Mets come and go, it's opening-day Met Sean Green who looks like he's going to run away with Most Thoroughly Baked Looking 2009 Met. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 27 2009 01:51 PM Looks like just a Yahoo! typo. Meanwhile, Pagan ball-over-wall ball. I'm getting frightened now. This isn't funny anymore. Benjamin Grimm Aug 27 2009 01:52 PM That's not your baby, is it? Edgy DC Aug 27 2009 01:53 PM Stokes in for the ninth. All is well, for now.

Well, if it isn't, then... wait... what are you trying to say about LWBH? Also, all 8 starters have two hits each. MAJOR disturbance in the Force. Benjamin Grimm Aug 27 2009 01:54 PM I guess it was a typo... now Stokes is in the game and on the mound. TransMonk Aug 27 2009 01:55 PM Only the 4th time this season the Mets have scored 10 runs or more. First time since July 25th. Kong76 Aug 27 2009 01:56 PM That primate is cute, ugly, and scary looking all in one. Mets WIN! Edgy DC Aug 27 2009 01:58 PM metirish Aug 27 2009 02:01 PM Great that they won , but I'd like to see a night win....been a while. Kong76 Aug 27 2009 02:02 PM I'm sure they'll re-broadcast tonight. Benjamin Grimm Aug 27 2009 02:11 PM I wouldn't be surprised, though, if they found a way to lose the rebroadcast.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 28 2009 03:13 PM ="seawolf17"]="Benjamin Grimm"]My rooting interest for this team has been reduced to hoping they avoid 90 losses. 90? We should be rooting to avoid 100. This team is honestly that bad right now. The Mets need to go 5-28 to avoid 100 losses. (I think they should be able to do THAT!) They have to go 15-18 to avoid 90. That will be tough. (These numbers include today's loss to the Cubs, by the way.)

Benjamin Grimm Aug 28 2009 03:19 PM If they win one third of their remaining games (which is a pretty bad pace) they'll end up 69-93. I think your 71-91 seems pretty reasonable at this point.

What's the story. I'm getting the Marlins feed on MLB Extra Innings.

="metirish"]"Hey ....fans , Dad's been working out...." Looks like Dad's on a box or maybe tippy toes.

Yeah, wrong!

Did Pelfrey just pull up crossing first? Looked like a calf. Hope I'm wrong.

Carlos Pena has more home runs this season than singles (37 v. 35).

If we're taking money off the books, is it enough to hire a new GM? ;-)

ESPN also reporting a torn ligament in the left thumb of Francoeur. WTF!!!

ESPN reporting season-ending (duh) left elbow surgery for Santana. When questioned about Santana, Manual laughed some crazy-ass cackle. I think that was to prevent from crying.

Got to hand it to Takahashi. He doesn't look 40.

="bmfc1":1si24kmo]So over two consecutive games, the top of the first had 3 3-run homeruns, and in the bottom of the first, the lead-off batter went all around the bases each time.

Later LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 24 2009 12:42 PM Going to, like, nine pitches in each of the Cliff Lee at-bats probably didn't help that pitch count too much.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 24 2009 01:35 PM BREAKING NEWS: General Mets offensive production is still dead. On to pitch the eighth: 37 year-old asset of indeterminate value. smg58 Aug 24 2009 01:44 PM There was a report this morning that the Sox were expressing concern about Wagner's arm, as he hadn't yet pitched in this series. I'm guessing it will take more than one walk and no hits in a scoreless inning with two strikeouts to force the Mets to pull him off waivers.

If that isn't a kick in the balls! Thanks, Jerry. Let's see what Figgy can do. No hitter from this point? Now that would be funny.

Guy who hasn't started in three weeks and batting .128, single on the first pitch. Hey, 6-0.

Typical Ollie. MF'er!
