1. Russlan will never be fond of Jason Bay Posted: July 02, 2009 at 04:42 PM (#3240386)

So how long is this rain delay expected to be? And where is everybody?

2. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 05:10 PM (#3240422)

Epic fail by Pittsburgh here. Played two batters before another rain delay. And now the field is destroyed.

3. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 05:13 PM (#3240430)

By the way, the pitching matchups this weekend are very favorable.

Friday: Livan vs. Rodrigo Lopez
Saturday: Nieve vs. Moyer
Sunday: Johan vs. Blanton

4. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 05:39 PM (#3240468)

1:50 resume time, apparently.

5. Russlan will never be fond of Jason Bay Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:00 PM (#3240494)

The Mets fail with the bases loaded. Outstanding.

6. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:02 PM (#3240496)

This team is maddening.

7. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:04 PM (#3240497)

Hey, infield in works.

8. Swoboda is freedom Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:16 PM (#3240522)

By the way, the pitching matchups this weekend are very favorable.

Friday: Livan vs. Rodrigo Lopez

I am not so sure, at some point Livan is going to wake up and realize it is not 2003 and go back to sucking.

9. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:18 PM (#3240526)

Redding sucks.

10. villainx Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:24 PM (#3240546)

uh, that HBP was not good.

11. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:25 PM (#3240549)

Yeah, this needs to be Tim Redding's final appearance as a Met.

12. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:26 PM (#3240552)

Get Perez up here already. Redding is a joke.

13. villainx Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:27 PM (#3240553)

That cut off was?

14. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:28 PM (#3240555)

And why does Tatis keep playing?

15. Swoboda is freedom Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:29 PM (#3240558)

Lets heare some more TV/radio talk about how Redding is good.

16. villainx Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:32 PM (#3240562)

Come on Wright.

17. villainx Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:34 PM (#3240565)

Let's plate this here Sheff.

18. Russlan will never be fond of Jason Bay Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:39 PM (#3240578)

Redding has to go. Niese can't be much worse and even if he is at least the experience could help him in the future.

19. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:40 PM (#3240580)

This is pathetic.

20. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:43 PM (#3240588)

Go away, Redding. Never come back.

21. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:46 PM (#3240593)

Redding's ERA is now 6.99. But hey, he's pitched pretty well!

22. Swoboda is freedom Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:51 PM (#3240598)

Well, at least I can go back and do some work.

23. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:56 PM (#3240602)

Hey, it ain't over yet.

24. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:59 PM (#3240610)

Santos now 0 for his last 18.

25. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 06:59 PM (#3240611)

This has 4-6-3 written all over it.

26. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:00 PM (#3240612)

Or not!

27. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:01 PM (#3240613)

I was one batter too late, I see.

28. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:05 PM (#3240623)

I see Tim Redding is exactly as good as I thought he was.

29. Win one for Agrippa (haplo53) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:07 PM (#3240627)

Maybe the Mets can be on the other side of the "early multiple run lead gets blown" equation for once.

30. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:09 PM (#3240638)

A nation turns its lonely eyes to Elmer Dessens.

31. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:17 PM (#3240652)

Rally time.

32. Swoboda is freedom Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:18 PM (#3240655)

way to go sheff, keep it going Tatis

33. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:23 PM (#3240663)

Tied game!

34. Srul Itza Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:29 PM (#3240678)

So, does anybody have a legitimate explanation for why Sheffield is having his best year at the plate since 2004? Is it the change in leagues? Is he healthy for a change? Is he doing better because he gets more days off?

Based on this year's work, he could probably play at least another year, unless he craters.

35. Swoboda is freedom Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:31 PM (#3240681)

Santos with a walk? Is that even legal?

36. Srul Itza Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:34 PM (#3240684)

And the Mets come all the way back from a 5-run deficit to take the lead. Admittedly, it's the Pirates, but given the tape-and-baling-wire nature of this jerry-rigged line-up, I'll take it.

37. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:36 PM (#3240688)

And now I'm in and settled to watch the rest of this one.

Looks like I missed most of the fun though.

38. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:48 PM (#3240712)

What the?! Tatis homerun!?

This is sorta awesome.

39. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:48 PM (#3240714)

I don't believe what I just saw.

40. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:49 PM (#3240719)

I'm so glad Tatis played today!

41. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:55 PM (#3240735)

Awesome, Stokes!

42. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:58 PM (#3240744)

Holy crap, we're ahead!

I've been out running errands all day, and last I saw we were down 5-0 in the 4th.

43. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 07:59 PM (#3240746)

Brian Stokes: Man of the Match.

44. GM Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:01 PM (#3240750)

What a novel concept, scoring even after you’ve taken the lead, the extra runs act almost like insurance. The Mets might have something here.

45. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:04 PM (#3240759)

What the hell are Gary and Keith talking about now? Puns and dogs?

46. Raskolnikov Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:04 PM (#3240761)

Mets offense!

47. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:07 PM (#3240764)

What the hell happened to Ron Darling, anyhow? Was he making Cohen and Keith look stupid?

48. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:10 PM (#3240768)

Pedro II is really, really good.

49. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:15 PM (#3240772)

Sorry, Pedro II. I guess I hexed you.

50. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:18 PM (#3240776)

Eeeep. Not helping my fantasy team, Pedro.

51. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:19 PM (#3240778)

Boy, Parnell's star has really fallen.

HA! Whoa, that was kind of funny. Almost doinked the corner of the bag.

52. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:26 PM (#3240788)

Tatis is having a banner day.

53. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:31 PM (#3240796)

Er, Sean Green, what the-?

54. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:32 PM (#3240798)

Oof, not the way to start an inning, Green.

55. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:32 PM (#3240799)

Where is Frankie? This is a disaster.

56. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:32 PM (#3240800)

Oh wait. It's the eighth.

57. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:37 PM (#3240802)

I am not a fan of Sean Green. He reminds me of Heilman. Stupid, ugly Heilman.

58. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:39 PM (#3240806)

I've noticed that Cora doesn't make the greatest throws in the world.

Nice work, Donkeyface.

59. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:40 PM (#3240809)

Scary!

60. Win one for Agrippa (haplo53) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:41 PM (#3240813)

YES!

61. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:41 PM (#3240814)

Hooray!

62. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:45 PM (#3240818)

I really wish I had no job and a lot of money so I could have gone to this game. The place looks so nice.

63. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:48 PM (#3240820)

Oh look, the blind squirrel hit a double.

64. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:48 PM (#3240821)

Woohoo Santos breaks his slump!

It's our amazing 1-2 slugging catcher attack!

65. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:49 PM (#3240823)

Pinhead.

66. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:49 PM (#3240824)

Santos: finding new ways to make outs.

67. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:58 PM (#3240837)

Damn it, I was really hoping for a 1-2-3 inning. My heart only has a few episodes left in it.

68. Win one for Agrippa (haplo53) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:59 PM (#3240840)

Unbelievable.

69. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:59 PM (#3240842)

#### this.

70. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:59 PM (#3240843)

Oh my head. That ain't right.

71. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 08:59 PM (#3240844)

I hate you, K-Rod.

I don't think the Mets will recover from blowing this one.

72. Win one for Agrippa (haplo53) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:01 PM (#3240848)

K-Rod has been pretty hittable for two weeks or so.

73. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:02 PM (#3240849)

I really can't believe how this team finds different ways to hurt me. This hole has no bottom!

74. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:03 PM (#3240850)

K-Rod's had major control problems lately.

75. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:04 PM (#3240851)

Thanks for swinging at that 3-1 ball, Andy.

76. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:04 PM (#3240852)

That was never Fernando's ball.

77. Win one for Agrippa (haplo53) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:06 PM (#3240854)

Unbelievable.

Check that, thinking about it, it's completely believable.

78. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:07 PM (#3240855)

Why are they chanting "air-ball"?

Stupid Pittsburgh.

79. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:08 PM (#3240857)

Well, at least this won't go into extras.

80. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:08 PM (#3240858)

Sigh, K-Rod.

81. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:08 PM (#3240859)

EGADS!

What the bloody hell.

82. Win one for Agrippa (haplo53) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:09 PM (#3240861)

So when do we hear about some kind of injury K-Rod's been pitching with?

83. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:10 PM (#3240862)

Parnell is going to turn into a REALLY long man if we don't lose here.

84. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:10 PM (#3240863)

Good lord, Frankie ended up facing the outfield on that follow-through. That does not seem optimal.

85. salvomania Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:11 PM (#3240864)

According to GameDay the Mets have used 11 different players today in the 9 spot on the lineup card.

86. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:12 PM (#3240866)

Hee!

Baseball is awesome.

87. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:12 PM (#3240867)

...holy crap.

I don't know how much more of this I can take!

88. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:14 PM (#3240868)

Why prolong the agony? We're not winning this one.l

89. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:14 PM (#3240869)

The Mets need to score like, five runs this inning to make this game Parnell Proof.

90. Raskolnikov Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:14 PM (#3240871)

WTF!? I go away for a bit and this happens!

91. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:16 PM (#3240874)

What an awful AB by Wright.

92. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:17 PM (#3240875)

And Martinez had no chance there.

93. Bobby Bonilla's Annuity (Matt) Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:21 PM (#3240880)

Injure Tatis.

94. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:26 PM (#3240882)

CHURCH!!!!!!!

95. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:26 PM (#3240883)

I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW

96. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:26 PM (#3240884)

Yes Church!

97. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:27 PM (#3240885)

Injure Tatis.

Really? Given what we have to replace him? REALLY?

98. Banta Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:29 PM (#3240887)

Parnell, if you can somehow save this, you'll have an automatic pass for like a month.

99. Bob Koo Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:29 PM (#3240888)

K-Rod??? Really???

100. Lassus Posted: July 02, 2009 at 09:30 PM (#3240889)

OK, I WAS going to leave at 5:30, but now I have to wait and see what happens.

Ummmm....

Frankie? Really?

sigh
