Open Thread - Game #23: Mets vs. Braves (04/26/2008)

Atlanta Braves at New York Mets, Apr 26, 2008 1:10 PM EDT



W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - John Maine 1-2 4 4 0 0 0 0 22.2 23 9 9 3 14 16 3.57 1.63


W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP

Not even the sweet embrace of vicodin could numb the pain of watching last night's loss. It wasn't the loss itself that was so horrible, but having to actually sit through it was the worst part. Two hits and six walks, three runs scored all on free passes. Who can watch this?

Here is the Mets' lineup this afternoon:

Jose Reyes, SS
Endy Chavez, LF
David Wright, 3B
Carlos Beltran, CF
Ryan Church, RF
Carlos Delgado, 1B
Damion Easley, 2B
Gustavo Molina, C
John Maine, RHP

With Brian Schneider still in the hospital receiving treatment for a staph infection in his thumb, the Mets designated Brady Clark for assignment and recalled Gustavo Molina to be the backup to Raul Casanova. Yup, just like they drew it up in spring training: Molina backing up Casanova.

I'll take teh blame for last night's loss

In the swag contest I had always picked Pelfrey to crap the bed in each of his starts, thereby encouraging him to throw six-inning masterpieces. Yesterday Eric cleverly waited until I was away from my Mac to post the contest form and I didn’t have a chance to bury Big Pelf. You see how this works now.

Damn you, Pelfrey. Damn you, Swag Contest.

travelling the last two days:

good for missing two awful turds masquerading as ball games; bad for my swag contest standings.

Mainey

I already low-balled Maine’s start. Hopefully that will get him some outs.

whats the question people most often ask you?

“who let you in?” oh, wait, i mean, “are you related to the other molinas?”

Are The Molinas....

The baseball equivalent to the Wayans’ family of comedians/actors?

You call that acting?

Little-known fact—the Molina brothers were the inspiration for The Darjeeling Ltd.

there's something to that

barely adequate, but tenaciously staying just popular enough to be in the public eye

by mmxii on Apr 26, 2008 2:04 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

by kendynamo on Apr 26, 2008 2:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

what's this feeling?

I’m excited that the Mets are getting hits. And runs!

It’s been so long…

by mmxii on Apr 26, 2008 2:11 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Delgado got a run in from third?

I must be dreaming.

by mmxii on Apr 26, 2008 2:13 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

by kendynamo on Apr 26, 2008 2:12 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

And their terrified general flees the field. Now with their morale broken, they should fall apart.
