Here we go again.

Let’s just see this taken care of and call this series a wash. Let’s Go Mets!

I want to get excited about Johan

but the bullpen prevents me from doing so.

I'm excited about Johan

Mainly because he’s decided to never leave anything up to the middle relievers again.

bold statement

i would say that Jerry Manuel agrees with you. based on last night’s comments he seems to be determined to pitch the arms off the starters in order to win.

He's a useful guy

But every time I see him in the lineup he’s batting second. Maybe it just stands out to me.
While we’re on the subject, Ahern is 7-16 for the Nats, and it totally isn’t a small sample size. He’s just a .438/.438/.438 hitter.

Gibson might throw at him while he was on deck.

Probably the meanest motherfucker to play the game since Ty Cobb. Although Early Winn would give him a run for the title.

Graphic Evidence Against Steroid Abuse

Know anybody who’s using steroids and just won’t stop, despite all your good advice?
Then show them this picture. (Potentially NSFW, and gross — hence its after-the-jump position.)
 Depicted is a 21-year-old amateur bodybuilder who arrived at a clinic in Dusseldorf, Germany with severe acne on his chest and upper back.
He was a constant user of anabolic-androgenic steroids, of which acne is a side effect — as is damaged sperm and shrunken testicles, both of which he also possessed.
Doctors ordered the patient to quit steroids and start taking antibiotics. Two months later, the acne was gone. So was the muscle. Only gruesome scarring remained — and as his doctors wrote last week in the Lancet, that “is likely to remain with the young man for the rest of his life.”

Just a thought

Didn’t Gary say this is Reyes’ 56th mult-hit game this year? In, let’s see, 131 games? And doesn’t it seem like Wright almost never gets two hits in a game? So how come Reyes is hitting .306, and Wright is hitting around .293? I know Reyes has had more AB, but their averages are fairly similar for two guys whose production seems so dissimilar.

It could be that Reyes has more 2-for-5 or 3-for-5 games, with a good number of 0-for-4 games thrown in, while Wright has a lot more 1-for-4 games and 2- or 3-for-4 games.

It’s the way the human mind works, but maybe we have a way of forgetting Reyes’s bad games or something.
