301. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:17 PM (#2846284)

Jaime Burke, the catcher for Seattle, just gave up a run in the top of the 15th.

302. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:18 PM (#2846286)

Durbin's ERA is in need of regressing.

303. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:19 PM (#2846289)

What do you do with the pitchers? I leave Smith.

304. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:20 PM (#2846290)

Apparently, Armas is coming in. Super.

305. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:20 PM (#2846291)

Endward!

306. Joshemy Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:20 PM (#2846292)

Just got in after working all afternoon.

And there is still baseball!

307. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:21 PM (#2846293)

Endy better steal and early in the count.

308. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:21 PM (#2846294)

ENDY!

OK David. You're an all-star, remember!

Oh wait.

Well, you're a really great guy.

309. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:23 PM (#2846296)

Nice swing, platoon first baseman.

310. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:23 PM (#2846297)

...

Come on Beltran!

311. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:23 PM (#2846298)

Wright's not getting my vote.

312. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:24 PM (#2846299)

Gah.

313. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:24 PM (#2846300)

Are they really taking Smith out after one batter?

314. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:24 PM (#2846301)

Who the heck is this guy and why can't the Mets hit him.

315. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:25 PM (#2846302)

I think that's it.

316. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:26 PM (#2846304)

Oh cool, Smith still in.

317. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:27 PM (#2846306)

WHAT A ####### PLAY!

318. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:27 PM (#2846308)

Boy, that sounded like an ugly play.

319. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:31 PM (#2846319)

Be careful with Utley, Joe.

320. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:31 PM (#2846318)

Utley. Cue dramatic music.

321. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:33 PM (#2846322)

Go Joe Smith.

322. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:33 PM (#2846323)

Every ball hit to Tatis. Whee!

But, we're still alive.

323. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:34 PM (#2846324)

Joseph Smith is the man. Dum. Da. Dum. Dum. Dum.

324. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:34 PM (#2846326)

Delgado, Easley, and Tatis doesn't sound like runs to me.

325. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:35 PM (#2846329)

Rollins, Howard, Jenkins, and Feliz does, especially against righties.

326. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:36 PM (#2846331)

Why can't hit Durbin's 89-90 MPH cheese.

327. Joshemy Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:37 PM (#2846335)

I'll take that!

328. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:37 PM (#2846336)

Wow. Delgado, quite the at-bat.

329. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:37 PM (#2846337)

Yea! A runner to strand!

330. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:38 PM (#2846342)

Nice AB by Delgado to work back from an 0-2 count. Didn't think that was going to happen.

331. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:38 PM (#2846343)

Bunting? With Tatis and Schneider coming up?

332. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:38 PM (#2846344)

Really? Bunting for Tatis against a righty?

333. Chris Dial Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:38 PM (#2846346)

Good bunt, Damion.

334. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:39 PM (#2846347)

Don't swing TATIS!

335. Chris Dial Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:39 PM (#2846348)

OF COURSE you bunt there.

336. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:39 PM (#2846349)

The Mets are torturing because I was only supposed to be at work until 8 PM, and now I can't leave until someone wins because the last time I wasn't listening to the game, Wagner blew it.

Ohhhhh the puzzle of a superstitious atheist.

I'm not sure I agree with that sac bunt.

337. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:39 PM (#2846350)

Easley's been their best hitter, basically.

338. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:39 PM (#2846351)

I don't see how Delgado can score on a single.

339. Joshemy Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:40 PM (#2846353)

I agree with Chris. You have to bunt. It's not like bunting Beltran or someone really good with Tatis behind him.

340. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:40 PM (#2846354)

NOW you all love Tatis.

341. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:40 PM (#2846356)

WTF!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

FRERaFGNSFANAS TATIS!!!!!

342. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:40 PM (#2846357)

TATIS! FERNANDO ####### TATIS!

343. Joshemy Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:40 PM (#2846358)

FERNANDO TATIS TELLS YOU ALL TO #### OFF!

344. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:40 PM (#2846359)

HAHAHAHAHA! That's just absurd. Its so surreal, Fellini would have to steady himself on the furniture.

345. Devin McCullen cries "Enraha!" Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:40 PM (#2846360)

Well, DAMN!

346. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:41 PM (#2846362)

Did that really happen?

I say the Mets have a 50/50 chance of winning this game now.

347. Chris Dial Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:41 PM (#2846363)

That's our man!

348. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:41 PM (#2846364)

That's just. Wow. I can't even...jesus.

349. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:42 PM (#2846367)

Leave Smith in to start the inning, I say.

350. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:42 PM (#2846368)

This is the happiest moment I've had this season even though I know it means Tatis sticks around even longer.

351. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:42 PM (#2846369)

I'm going to call a Joe Smith base hit.

352. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:42 PM (#2846370)

I am just glad they hit Durbin. He had been dominating the Mets with his 90 MPH fastball.

353. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:42 PM (#2846372)

Haha. He might be standing father away from the plate than Mister Koo.

354. manchestermets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:43 PM (#2846374)

And that's his place on the roster secured for another month or so.

355. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:43 PM (#2846375)

Oh well.

Honestly, I don't find a Tatis HR as shocking as all that. He may suck, but he has some pop, and has hit HR's before.

356. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:43 PM (#2846376)

This is the happiest moment I've had this season even though I know it means Tatis sticks around even longer.

Rollins/Howard/Jenkins due up against a ROOGY. This game isn't over.

357. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:44 PM (#2846377)

Whatever. At this point, Tatis has earned it.

358. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:44 PM (#2846380)

I've been giving Tatis a hard time.

He's got a fortnight's moratorium from me.

359. Chris Dial Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:44 PM (#2846382)

SMith against Rollins/Howard/Jenkins? I say we have about 30% chance of winning.

360. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:45 PM (#2846383)

Well, this'll have to be the inning of Smith's life.

361. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:45 PM (#2846384)

Haha. He might be standing father away from the plate than Mister Koo.

I love Mr. Koo. I remember two things about him. His awesomeness against RJ and the ball Delgado hit off him on a 3-0 count (which may not have landed yet.)

362. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:46 PM (#2846389)

I love Mr. Koo. I remember two things about him. His awesomeness against RJ and the ball Delgado hit off him on a 3-0 count (which may not have landed yet.)

What about scoring from second on an infield single and diving head-first into home plate?

363. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:47 PM (#2846390)

He was out, but it was still pretty cool.

364. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:47 PM (#2846391)

He did that against RJ, Matt. Hit a double than scored from 2nd on a sacrifice. All against RJ.

365. Joshemy Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:47 PM (#2846392)

Eek.

366. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:47 PM (#2846393)

Here we go.

367. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:47 PM (#2846394)

Well, this obviously wasn't going to be a smooth inning.

368. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:48 PM (#2846395)

Ohhhhh it's gonna be that kinda inning, isn't it?

I still say that Smith is a better option than Armas.

I think.

369. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:48 PM (#2846396)

My kingdom for a DP ball.

370. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:48 PM (#2846397)

He did that against RJ, Matt. Hit a double than scored from 2nd on a sacrifice. All against RJ.

Right, right. Was that one of the most improbable doubles in the history of baseball?

371. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:49 PM (#2846398)

He did that against RJ, Matt. Hit a double than scored from 2nd on a sacrifice. All against RJ.

No better argument against the DH exists than that sequence of events.

372. Chris Dial Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:50 PM (#2846400)

I don't care about Rollins. We need three outs. Walk this ######.

373. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:50 PM (#2846401)

One!

374. Joshemy Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:50 PM (#2846402)

Ok, that's one.

375. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:50 PM (#2846403)

Nice job keeping the ball down there.

376. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:50 PM (#2846404)

One down.

377. Joshemy Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:50 PM (#2846406)

Walk Jenkins, pitch to Feliz and Taguchi?

378. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:50 PM (#2846407)

Get Jenkins and you can walk Feliz. Only Taguchi is left.

379. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:51 PM (#2846408)

Two!

380. Joshemy Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:51 PM (#2846410)

Nice play by Reyes.

381. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:51 PM (#2846409)

Okay. Okay. ONE MORE.

382. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:52 PM (#2846412)

I don't like walking Feliz. I guess they don't either.

383. Joshemy Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:53 PM (#2846415)

JOE SMITH!

384. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:53 PM (#2846416)

JOE SMITH! WHAT AN OUTING!

385. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:53 PM (#2846417)

YES!!! ############# YES!!

MIGHTY JOE SMITH! HE'S GOT SACK!

386. Lassus Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:54 PM (#2846419)

Now thatsa SPICY MEATBALL!

And I can finally leave work. I'm taking credit for this victory by staying here this long.

387. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:54 PM (#2846420)

Best win of the year. A win tomorrow and they are 2.5 back!

So how big a lead do they squander tomorrow night?

388. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:54 PM (#2846421)

Player of the game, Joe Smith. That was some hell of a job.

389. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:54 PM (#2846422)

That was harder than it needed to be.

There's definitely been a paucity of easy wins this season.

Joe Smith deserves some love tonight. Huge outing.

390. Chris Dial Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:54 PM (#2846423)

Getting to Feliz was great.

391. manchestermets Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:55 PM (#2846425)

Smith > Wagner.

Did mlb.tv cut off for anyone else just as the 3-2 pitch to Feliz reached the plate?

392. Chris Dial Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:57 PM (#2846429)

Not me.

393. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:59 PM (#2846433)

Joe Smith was unreal.

He got Dobbs, Utley, Howard, and Jenkins. All lefties.

Probably the best moment of his professional career.

394. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:59 PM (#2846437)

Braves have bases loaded none out in the bottom of the 17th. Houston going with five infielders.

395. Raskolnikov Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:59 PM (#2846438)

I'm so happy. I won't say anything bad about Tatis for 2 weeks.

396. Conor Posted: July 06, 2008 at 09:00 PM (#2846441)

I was hating on Tatis watching the game. But the one thing he does is swing hard.

397. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 06, 2008 at 09:02 PM (#2846444)

Chipper had himself a day. 4 walks, and was a double shy of the cycle. The man is a machine.

398. Alan S Posted: July 06, 2008 at 09:03 PM (#2846446)

I'm so happy. I won't say anything bad about Tatis for 2 weeks.

I would bet a lot of money that this statement does not up being true.
