If you mark that frame an eight, you're entering a world of pain.
League game, Smokey. You understand.
Re Blanton:
I’m sure another washed-up former A’s pitcher is going to catapult the Phillies to the World Series.

you're right
They should trade for Barry Zito.

the hell with the "good" Ollie
How about getting the “good” Johnny tonight?

Keith, you can't get RBIs with no one on base
Dunn has low RBI totals because the batters in front of him suck. That’s what happen when you’ve got Corey Patterson in the lineup in front of you.

holy crap
Hey Eric Davis, New Edition called, they want their clothes back.
Vote change: DePodesta/Acta in 2009!!!
whatever
Considering his deal with the devil that went into effect recently, I’ll overlook it. The Mets should pummel Brandon Arroyo enough so that it won’t matter.

I shouldn't complain
Bruce’s HR looked cheap, but so did David Wright’s last night, and I’m sure that Dub’s bomb will end up being more valuable in WPA.

"Looped into right center, that's gonna be... gone!"
What a joke this ballpark is.

That was so lame
This place might even be worse than Philly.

dammit
Anderson’s was hit much harder than Bruce’s, but of course it’s only a double.

shot out of a cannon
but not a HR either. Oh well, it scores a completely unclutch tying run.

All right
There’s the lead.

I love Gary
But he sure uses the cringe-inducing “play the right way” cliche a lot.
Vote change: DePodesta/Acta in 2009!!!
Yea, it's pretty annoying.
I like that the Mets took the lead right after the Reds got it. That’s… “playing the game the right way.”

Keith and Ron do it too
Especially regarding Easley and Chavez (who also “knows how to play the game”)
Keith took a shot at Dunn earlier
Because, presumably, he plays the wrong way (by hitting moon shots when he could be grounding a ball to the right side with a man on 2nd).

Yeah, what a dickhead
With his 11 HR more than anybody else on the team and his highest OBP of any regular in the lineup
But can you believe
that the Cincinnati announcers get on Dunn as well? They actually said yesterday after Dunn’s HR that he needs to hit more meaningful HRs like that.

hopefully
it’ll keep his price tag depressed over the winter. Of course, then Billy Beane will sweep in and sign the guy while everyone else is sucking Boras’ dick over Teixeira.

How is that even a question?
Griffey OPS+ 94
Dunn OPS+ 138
It’s… not even close at this point, really.
the Mets want somebody more athletic than Dunn?
Great, let’s go get Juan Pierre, since he’s more of an athlete.
And if you don’t want Dunn in the OF, put him at 1B. We’re gonna need to fill that spot too.

when your shoulder flies open
that’s gonna happen
what a bunch of BS
the 2-1 “ball” really set the stage for this shit

sigh
The wheels just fall off of Maine sometimes, don’t they. It’s like this team has to have one completely erratic starter and since Perez appears to have his shit together….
Vote change: DePodesta/Acta in 2009!!!
ugh. another lousy start
couldn’t JMan find the appropriate implement to hook Maine a couple batters earlier?

just tuned in to watch lead turn into deficit
these Reds announcers are brutal.

Ugh. Ugh. First place was nice while it lasted
Phillies currently besting the Fish in the sixth.
And shwnblow just walked Arroyo!!
Hulk SMASH!

i would rather listen to a nun vomit the lord's prayer
than another minute of jeff brantley’s innane banter
I.M. Forme
shit
I was just thinking that it would suck if they loaded the bases only to have Schneider hit into a DP. Fortunately, Tatis kept that from happening.

more Jeter commercials
Where is Giuseppe Franco when you need him?

"there's a new sherrif in town and his name is brandon phillips"
arraaagghh. Shut up!
My kingdom for the head of Jeff Brantley.

very good, Keith (part II)
We don’t want a guy on his last legs like Raul Ibanez.

Captain Comback
Oh, but he had the single yesterday. Too bad David couldn’t hit a solo-3-run homer to take the pressure off. (I know I’m being unfair here, let me have my fun.)
The loss is OK. We are only 7 over now. Much easier to handle and move on to the weekend haha
The 2008 NY Mets: Reyes singles. Castillo infield single. Wright walks. Beltran lines out. ZaBlanc bitches. Delgado strikes out. Reyes picked off third. Fans boo. Padres win 2-1.
start rooting for a Fish comeback now

Arroyo
Hate that he dominates us and everyone else hammers him. On the other hand, Brad Penny is very good against everyone else and we destroy him. That’s just how it works sometimes.
Tampa Bay won
So their losing streak is over. Seriously, can the Mets and Rays please both be good at the same time?
