Voltron!

What a way to cap off his busy day. First, featured in The Onion. Last, winning the dang ballgame.

On to tomorrow and the damn Marlins. Go Big Pelf!

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

FIRST!

Some rookie (Mitch Stetter) is coming in to pitch for the Brewers. 2 outs, runner on second, Nate McCLOUT up.

I almost wish I had the baseball package right now

I kinda want to watch the end of that game.

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

Alright

Off to watch “Summer of 4’2”." Daily Simpsons re-runs and Mets games seem to be all I watch.

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

PRESSURE

“a pressure-packed moment here at miller park”
swung through a breakingball, 3-2
foul ball, still 3-2

PRESSURE
“a former Met trying to help the Brewers”

like a true Met

“a fastball right down Main Street…………….. … and Mike swings right through it.”

Wow

The real Hebrew Hammer does it. Bastard.

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

Sorry

The “current” Hebrew Hammer.

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

Those poor Brewers fans

1 postseason appearance, and none as an NL team. And they’ll be denied again this year, I’m sad to report…

by Prince on Sep 25, 2008 11:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

wow

we’re very confident all of a sudden

by JoshNY on Sep 25, 2008 11:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm a poor, nostalgic sap

i think Pedro is a really interesting, thoughtful, quirky person and I hope we get to see him pitch again as a Met.

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
