Recap

Livan Hernandez: can't ask for much more.
Sean Green: couldn't imagine anything worse.
Did Daniel Murphy shit on Jerry Manuel's mother's grave and I not hear about it? Murph has started just twice in the last six games and, while I support Gary Sheffield, Murphy really has to be in there for five of those six games.
Tomorrow's game is at 1:10pm, so yea, something to do at work.

Yea

Them’s the bricks. Not sure why it tabulated it that way, but computers never lie.

Agreed

Did Daniel Murphy shit on Jerry Manuel’s mother’s grave and I not hear about it? Murph has started just twice in the last six games and, while I support Gary Sheffield, Murphy really has to be in there for five of those six games.

Couldn’t agree more, and especially with ABs available at 1B and 2B, not having Murphy in the lineup is inexcusable. I’m not saying Murphy should have played second, but he could have played first. Its not like they’ve been facing lefties. Although he was hardly the problem today, there’s no reason to have Cora in the two-hole when Murphy could be in the lineup.

And that picture of the woman with the frisbee and the dog

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously terrifying and hilarious.

2008 Heilman-esque

2009 Heilman: 2-0 0.82 ERA 100% LOB in 11 IP.
Yes I know, his walk rate is terrible as is his K rate, and a .193 BABIP is unsustainable with a 25.9% LD rate.

But still…Damn it to hell!

I think an appropriation of the soccer chant

“are you _______ in disguise?” would be good for Green…

“Are you Heilman, Are you Heilman, Are you Heilman in disguise? Are you Heilman in dis-guise…..”

Now I know why I hate the wave.

So, I was at the game last night and when they changed pitchers from Livan to Parnell, the wave began. Normally, I am against the wave, but when nothing is going on the wave is tolerable. As usual, it doesn’t stop when the action begins again and Parnell had trouble finding the strike zone, wright made the error and an unearned run scored. Then I had this realization: I can’t remember a time when good things were happening for the mets and the wave was going on at the same time. So, for those of you thinking about starting the wave at Citi field, remember you are intentionally screwing the mets up and I hate you.
