Gwreck Sep 17 2008 07:47 AM

Key to this game is beating up on the Nationals' rookie pitcher before they can beat up on our AAA pitcher.

HahnSolo Sep 17 2008 08:08 AM

I assume we put Murphy in left in the 2 hole and drop Church down.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 17 2008 08:08 AM

I was thinking of dropping Church off of a building.

Vic: Nicely done!

I'm going to see her at 1 p.m. today. I'll ask her.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 17 2008 12:02 PM

Well, didn't get close enough to ask questions. I had airport duty, which means you're there as the plane arrives and talk to the official greeters and such. Sometimes the candidate comes over and fields a few questions, but not today. McCain and Palin came in separate planes. Palin was with her husband and who I think might have been the middle daughter. Actually, it's been kind of a cool day. Earlier in the morning I was able to spend time with the president of the Orlando Magic, who is a Grand Rapids native. He's donating money to build a middle school sports program. As for the Mets, they'll win tonight. That lineup is too good to be that bad for that long. Plus, the Nationals pitchers are too bad to be that good for that long. I'm predicting a pounding. We'll be back in first by a half-game by the end of the night.

bmfc1 Sep 17 2008 02:01 PM

Reyes, ss Murphy, lf Wright, 3b Delgado, 1b Beltran, cf Church, rf A. Reyes, 2b Schneider, c Knight, rhp

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 17 2008 02:05 PM

Murphy will save us. There's some real smelliness at the buttend of that lineup but I guess that's what we're gonna look like from here on out.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 17 2008 02:15 PM

Tonight's Nationals starter is Shairon Martis, a 21-year-old righty from Curacao. This will be his third start and the first at home. He lost 2-0 in Atlanta on September 4, and 2-1 in Florida on September 12. In both starts, he lasted exactly 5 innings. In that second start, he struck out 9 Marlins, walked 3, and gave up 2 hits.

sharpie Sep 17 2008 03:56 PM

His website needs to be updated. Still has him as a minor leaguer. You would think his promotion would be big news on that site.

Gwreck Sep 17 2008 05:11 PM

KABOOM

JOSE!!!!

metirish Sep 17 2008 05:15 PM

In case like me you were wondering why so many people in the small crowd are wearing green caps here's why. First 20,000 fans 21 and older Presented by Miller Lite Half Way to St. Patty's Day It's time to break out your shillelagh and raise a pint, because Wednesday, September 17 is Half-Way to St. Patty's Day at Nationals Park. Half-Way to St. Patty's Day will feature: Live Irish music from 4 Ever Erin Celtic Dancers Prizes for the best St. Patrick's Day attire. So wear green! Would have been nice if the Mets had green caps for Irish night.

Gwreck Sep 17 2008 05:16 PM

KABOOM! x2

FEAST FAMINE FAMINE FEAST

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2008 05:22 PM

Reyes, Church, Wright, Bletran, Delgado in the first two games of this series: 3 for 37, all singles.

Gwreck Sep 17 2008 05:29 PM

We could really stand to win this game. Philly's batted around the in first inning and is up 4-0.

mario25 Sep 17 2008 05:31 PM

Does anyone else but Manuel think A.Reyes is any good....I honestly would rather have Castillo if Easley is on the shelf

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2008 05:55 PM

Knight's run should be charged to the 1st base ump.

metirish Sep 17 2008 05:55 PM

Castillo is hurting Jerry said , needs "time to heal".....Mets up 4-1

Elster88 Sep 17 2008 05:57 PM

Yep I'd say Beltran is on fire.

Gwreck Sep 17 2008 05:57 PM

KABOOOOOOOM

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2008 05:57 PM

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but damn! we could have used just one of these yesterday.

Elster88 Sep 17 2008 05:58 PM

Beltran did yesterday! It's just Milledge was positioned on the warning track.

TheOldMole Sep 17 2008 05:58 PM

That's what I'm talkin about.

mario25 Sep 17 2008 06:03 PM

Awesome, the bats are alive!!!!

No. No. No. Too high. Too high.

TransMonk Sep 17 2008 06:25 PM

Sorry, I'm late. Lookin' good so far...I was expecting worse.

OlerudOwned Sep 17 2008 06:29 PM

Knight apparently pitching to the "Francouer Strike Zone" this inning.

mario25 Sep 17 2008 06:39 PM

Church needs a night off.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 17 2008 06:57 PM

I've been at class all night, and I confess I was a little worried jumping in to check the score. Phew!!! Good job, guys!

TheOldMole Sep 17 2008 06:58 PM

Anderson should get the RBI, because it wasn't a force-out double play. Will 6 runs be enough of a lead for the bullpen?

TransMonk Sep 17 2008 07:10 PM

TheOldMole wrote: Will 6 runs be enough of a lead for the bullpen? That should be such a humorous question. I wish I could be confident in saying yes. On edit: However, the Nats young'ns trying to steal 3rd on ball 4 with 2 outs and getting thrown out helps.

Elster88 Sep 17 2008 07:16 PM

It's rough when a team is down 6 in the fifth, gets into the bullpen, and thinks "We've got them right where we want them.".

mario25 Sep 17 2008 07:25 PM

The Mets need to add on.....BADLY

themetfairy Sep 17 2008 07:26 PM

If they blow this game then the fucking season is just over!

TheOldMole Sep 17 2008 07:31 PM

It's not right to feel so good about Only two runs an inning by the bullpen.

TheOldMole Sep 17 2008 07:33 PM

Boomity boom boom

themetfairy Sep 17 2008 07:33 PM

Vamos Carlos Beltran!

Church is bad. Right. Gotcha. Loud and clear.

Elster88 wrote: ="mario25"]I honestly would rather have Castillo if Easley is on the shelf Agreed. I think he's still hurt. He's tried giving it a go, but I don't think he's anywhere near 100%.

HahnSolo Sep 17 2008 07:42 PM

Instead of Heilman, can we put 10 defensive players out there and let them hit off a tee?

Elster88 Sep 17 2008 07:45 PM

lol

holychicken Sep 17 2008 07:48 PM

It is incredible how a 4 run lead in the 8th is so uncomfortable.

TheOldMole Sep 17 2008 07:51 PM

Anybody want to put down Church now?

TransMonk Sep 17 2008 07:52 PM

mario25 wrote: Carlos good-Church bad Best defensive rightfielder I can remember in a while. SAved a run and got an out in a rally there.

mario25 Sep 17 2008 07:53 PM

He is great in the OF and he has been really good at the plate except this last 2 weeks.

themetfairy Sep 17 2008 07:53 PM

I saw him make two superlative catches tonight. He deserves some sips of Schaefer for that.

Fman99 Sep 17 2008 07:54 PM

Phew.

TheOldMole Sep 17 2008 07:55 PM

And Beltran nails the inning down.

mario25 Sep 17 2008 07:55 PM

Agreed, we could still have Shawn Green out there!!!

holychicken Sep 17 2008 07:58 PM

How close was that to making me freak out? Gamecast makes it looks like Beltran probably hit the wall catching it.

TheOldMole Sep 17 2008 07:59 PM

Two steps, and then hit the wall.

HahnSolo Sep 17 2008 08:05 PM

Fasten your seatbelts.

themetfairy Sep 17 2008 08:05 PM

Onto the bottom of the 9th!

Fman99 Sep 17 2008 08:08 PM

Feh. Bad throw by Wright.

HahnSolo Sep 17 2008 08:09 PM

Ugly, lazy throw at that.

Rockin' Doc Sep 17 2008 08:09 PM

Snap out of the funk Wright. Your team needs you down the stretch.

TheOldMole Sep 17 2008 08:11 PM

A grand slam ties it. But that couldn't happen. Could it?

Fman99 Sep 17 2008 08:11 PM

Double Feh. Walk to Dukes and it's 1st, 2nd, no out.

Rockin' Doc Sep 17 2008 08:12 PM

It seems like nothing is ever easy for this bullpen.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 17 2008 08:13 PM

What other team can do this again and again and still be contending for a playoff slot? Nobody, that's who. In summary, Mets = Awesome

Rockin' Doc Sep 17 2008 08:13 PM

Oh yea, Feliciano is in. Please, please, please get someone out. Please!!!

metirish Sep 17 2008 08:14 PM

WOW Delgado...

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2008 08:14 PM

No more baserunners and the tying run can't come to the plate. Repeat as neccesary.

TheOldMole Sep 17 2008 08:14 PM

Delgado comes through!

HahnSolo Sep 17 2008 08:15 PM

Nice play by Delgado. And shouldnt AndyHernandy have made that closer?

TheOldMole Sep 17 2008 08:15 PM

Two away....

HahnSolo Sep 17 2008 08:15 PM

And a nice pick by Feliciano to get the second out.

Fman99 Sep 17 2008 08:16 PM

Another nice play as Pedro2 looks the runner back on the comebacker. One more out.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 17 2008 08:17 PM

Tying run will bat.

Fman99 Sep 17 2008 08:18 PM

TransMonk Sep 17 2008 08:20 PM

To be fair, it was a decent pitch by Feliciano that turned into a lucky hit for Nieves. Feliciano had the rare goods tonight.
