How many guys are we gonna have go on the DL? We’re like a fuckin M.A.S.H. unit around here! What did the METS do to deserve such bad luck?

I see we’re back to bein the Lost Boys when it comes to bullpen worthiness. Oy wey…

Just a couple of grinding gamers

No quit in Erstad and Ausmus. All heart. Couple of the grittiest gaming grinders who ever left 110% on the field.

'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

losing in extra innings at home sucks

Losing in extra innings at home because of a pair of HRs by two of the worst hitters in baseball really, really sucks.

Heilman and Molina in 06

Late inning homers from normally powerless hitters are always heartbreaking. Hopefully Big Pelf will play stopper today. After a string of 5 (or 4?) series victories, a 2-2 split is not hateful.

But when is it time to expand the rosters? It’ll be nice to have some young arms roll in and pitch some innings here and there. At least we know that with Willie gone, the September call-ups will not increase the average age of the team.
