really better than that? History would indicate otherwise.

but hes also rich, so i pretty much dont care. if this was some minor league call up trying to make the roster and sucking, like gomez last year, i'd probably feel different. but schoe and his $10+ mil contract and mlb pension can toughen up.

For once.

That's how these games are supposed to start.

Shane Victorino.

He's like the big guy of old. Taking walks, hitting bombs. What gives?

Mets are close to signing him to a minor league deal, per Kenny Rosenthal.

Keep 'em coming.

*chortle*

Nobody else wears one. Does he have soft teeth?

The two singles were on the ground and weren't hit hard. Good news for Pelfrey.

That was crazy bad.

This is embarrassing. Again.

just crushed a $5 foot long from subway. anyway else love their cookies? i just ate three and i want like, 10 more.

it could have been worse

"Take it easy, Lauren" -- Keith Hernandez, reacting to an "ask the booth" question about the Mets' lack of energy perhaps being a holdover from last season's collapse.

Schneider has five walks so far.

is 3-2 in every AB

think its weird that pagan is hitting second? you want to give dwright all the RBI opportunities as possible but id rather have his high OBP batting there and move beltran and delgado up than put in pagan, just cause he can, i dunno, bunt or some shit

Close, but balls. Six walks in two innings, and there's still a good chance he gets out of this shit with just the one run he allowed in the first.

Kill me now.

I see you haven't met.

but what about those high pitch counts were getting - these are pyhrric victories i tell you!

where the Mets spoil a ton of early opportunities and then the pitcher clamps down?

now strike this fatboy out

I finally notched a save in my fantasy league. Thanks, Brandon Lyon. Your turn, Billy Wagner.

looks different with the looming hulk of Citi Field in the background.

kendrick can throw 1st pitch strikes - but thats it

is high and tight

the Mets announcers are so much better than the Marlins' and Braves'

ouch - tho it has undeniably been sloppy

just ned some hits

split in half

pagan = diamond in the rough

Mets' ownage

but you can call him "Bootlett"

They really miss Jimmy

Chuch needs to change that intro song. Larry has forever corrupted that song.

He really needs a changeup. I think he'll be good, but right now hitters are making too solid contact off him. A changeup, used about 5% of the time, would really help.

nice purple jacket, Willy Wonka

and it was empty. Cap sealed, bottle empty.

My DVR caught up, and I'm back in the chat.

There are always areas you need to address.

...

This thread died.

watching felliciano for clues

during blowouts. Like "Who am I?" or "Name a random Met".

I can just see him blowing a save on Thursday and going "Mwehhhh they hadn't used me in too long mehhhhhh"

Keith played on the 1990 Indians with Rudy Seanez.

good news all around

A win. A Pelfrey win. A win against the Phillies. Joy!

But we out-OBP'd the shit outta the Phils.
