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.
