Win this damn series.

He won’t be starting tomorrow. Obviously he should take as much time as he needs.

He’s like Wakefield except even more shitty

I’ll take an Eric Bruntlett ground out to lead off the game.

We should make a pool for what date he’ll notch 200.

1. Why does Jerry insist on having somebody crappy hit second?
2. Why does Jerry insist on hitting Castro eighth when he’s in the lineup? It’s like he’s decided the catcher always needs to hit in the same spot, and because Schneider is a crappy hitter that spot has to be eighth.

With this group of guys playing, the lineup should be Reyes, Wright, Beltran, Castro, Delgado, Tatis, Easley, Evans, Perez.

He is old, crafty, and the umpires respect him enough to make the strikezone extra wide.

Or, at least that’s what Wayne and Howie are telling me.

It would be better if they stopped fawning over the elderly Philly and complained about Nick Evans batting 2nd.

Howie just mentioned that Pedro’s father died. Said it was brain cancer.

Thank you, Tatis. There will be no no-hitter for Moyer today.

“it’s not like the Moises Alou school of hand moisturizing.” when discussing why Moyer does not use batting gloves.

Get well soon, Pee Hands!

But of course, here comes Pat the Bat.

Baseball Jesus gets the ribby after Wayne said he’s been having trouble driving in runners. Good work.

7K’s and 54 pitches thru 4. Nice stuff.

9 K, 0 BB. dont slow down now OP.

what is the big deal w/the bat between moyer and delgado?

delgado…you should have walked the bat to him or the bat boy.

moyer, shut the hell up! the mets don’t like you, you don’t like the mets. get over it and play ball.

NEXT!

Nice spokesman for the Mets and Citi field.

nice

I like it!

Howard def. did go around.

The Mets blew a good start by Johan 2 nights ago. They’d better not blow a great start by Ollie. Get him some runs!!!

He has thrown fewer pitches than Ollie at this point.

I guess he was trying to put it up the thirdbase line?

don’t throw your bat! Old bastard, what are you going to do? Chew Carlos’ kneecaps off?

I’ve been sitting in the rain watching the Rochester Red Wings and Toledo Mud Hens. It seems that good Ollie showed up today?

lots of K’s…

gotta like it.

gang, do we think that Ollie is finally reached being consistent game after game or are we still worried?

Come on, Mets. This should be batting practice.

The Mets are into the Philly bullpen for the eighth.

There goes Taguchi. I always breathe a little easier after we get him out.

i love that by Utley!

nice job ollie!

0 BB and 11K b Ollie?

HBP . . . hell nah dogg.

hey, did anyone happen to notice that castro grabbed his right hamstring after howard got hit? as he walked to the mound he was shaking his leg.

oh brother

Ollie did about as much as you could ask today. Time to keep our collective fingers crossed.

I don’t get to say that often enough.

And take your stupid chin beard with you

Best available pinch-hitter in our system? Discuss.

how long cancel keeps pinch-hitting this three catcher thing is dumb…

Sacrificing with Reyes with Chavez coming up

chavez, who blows, is next. reyes is a much better hitter. also look at the run expectancy matrix.

http://www.tangotiger.net/RE9902.html

were now LESS likely to score that run. when can we fire manual?

Delgado beats Romero!

Who is this guy playing first base?

is a great thing.

if Country Time can close this, i’ll go batshit

“Oh, thank god Delgado did it. My palms were sweaty.”

I should put in at least an hour of work today . . . get this over with.

Rollins is a punk!

You are awesome.

1st place!

Shoulder hurts? Fuck it, just throw 8 pitches to complete the inning.

I will forget about the colossal kick in the balls that was Tuesday and instead realize that the Mets are in 1st place and have taken 5 of the last 7 from the Phuckers.

after his awesome performance, But that’s not a big concern right now.

in the penthouse. Now for some revenge on St louis while the Phils have to face Atlanta. I’d say I like our chances, but im a metsfan. This was a contender for game of the year!

The ranting text messages from my good friend the Phillies fan. “Fire Manuel” seems to be a consistent theme.

missed all the excitement…

well, at least we won!
