I’ve just come back from the future….
Well, the Mets committed 24 errors and Josh Johnson threw a no-hitter.
But there is some good news. Two of our hitters managed to get to first base and we hit 17 foul balls!
And away we go.
God speed boys.

I still think...
Tejada should be starting rather than Cora. However, I’m confident, and I’m definitely the only person in a Mets jersey at UNC today.

cable is messed up
I get a signal but only local channels. I get a blank screen for SNY. Also, the technician isn’t going to be here to fix the problem until Thursday. It’s off to the bar down the block to watch this.
"It’s just everytime we think the bar can’t get lower, they lower it. Now next year we’ll just be happy to hear that rogue shirtless officials aren’t implementing useless detrimental drills in spring training for no apparent reason."
-Gina, 3/1/10
Any time you can bat your worst hitter leadoff
you have to take that chance.
I'm pretty sure Rod Barajas is a worse hitter.
Cora seems to be on base whenever I look away from screen and turn back.
Schnieder is the only player I've ever seen with negative offensive capabilities.
Even when he got on base something terrible would happen.
I'd rather Barajas lead off over Cora
there I said it.

Hey MLB.TV
Thanks so much for incorrectly placing me in a NY zip code for some reason and preventing me from watching an awesome homer!! Great work!
I give Wright 10% of the credit for that
30% goes to the fearsome protection of Jacobs’ batting behind him. The rest goes to Francouer for loosening him up with his awesomeness.
2009 Did Not Happen
what about the fact it went to the opposite field?
All my credit goes to Tony B.

the threat of Jacobs is already paying off, lol

no way
Ollie has prototypical no-hitter loss stuff.
I threw a one hitter in little league
and won 5-3. Cruddy fielders and 6 walks.
Ollie might throw a no-hitter
but with 8 or so walks, a few hit batsmen, and many double plays in a game shortened by rain. Hey, anything’s possible…

The 73 is already the Mets career record though

I thought Oden
and Durant was split about 50/50. I think if Oden never got hurt he is as valuable as Durant. He could/still can be like Dwight Howard. Obviously not the athlete Howard is but better defended and could fill it up on the boards and blocking shots. I can’t blame them for picking Oden over Durant.

LeBron James too
But he actually isn’t um, hurt , like Oden.
For my fantasy team’s sake, let’s hope Heyward is more LeBron and less Odom.

I don't really think Lebron looks that old
I think it’s mostly the beard. Oden really looks like he’s 50.

So more LeBron
And less sleeping with the ugly Kardashian sister?

Eric posted it once a few months ago
apparently the site somehow keeps track. I wanna say it was around 30 or higher. But I could be completely wrong.

Wow Beckett just signed a 68 million dollar extension

Darn.
Here’s to Arizona not wanting Webb, and us signing him…

I remember they were in first place in mid-May last year and people were buzzing about them.

Just got back from the game
I can’t get over the thread! This must be a new record.
Trying to believe is my full-time occupation.
The only knock I have on today is...
how slow this site was (and still is). I checked my connection and I am running great to other sites, but this one is making Molina look fast.
you know what I'm sayin' ?
My other internetz are fine.
it’s just this site.
hey, if it means we win, it will do.
you know what I'm sayin' ?
well, MLB's sites are a mess too
I’m trying to watch video or Wright’s HR again (also of Texas’ comeback win) and neither the Mets nor Rangers sites are functioning properly.
