Nick Evans almost made the Mets, would have if not for Sheffield's arrival, and has now been sent from AAA to extended ST for a week. He'll then go to Binghamton. (Merged from IGT Braves @ Mets, 05/12/09, 5/12/2009)

Those transparent pngs of the logos? With the reflections underneath? Shweet. Now, can somebody explain to me what Ryan Church did to get into the doghouse? He starts the season on fire and now he's getting benched half the time or more as if it's intended to cool him off and keep him cool.

holychicken May 12 2009 05:21 PM

That lineup doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

OlerudOwned May 12 2009 05:25 PM

Reading the Mets.com game preview, it was pointed out that Manuel fully intended on keeping Church benched again today regardless of how Reed performed yesterday.

Edgy DC May 12 2009 05:26 PM

Do it say why?

OlerudOwned May 12 2009 05:33 PM

]Jeremy Reed started in right field and Ryan Church, who has three hits in his most recent 32 at-bats didn't play. Reed had a double, a single and a walk in four plate appearances. Even before that, Manuel said he intended to start him again Tuesday. http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090511&content_id=4676824&vkey=news_nym&fext=.jsp&c_id=nym Mystifying. It really can't even be argued that it's just because of the slump, because Manuel made this sort of mindset clear from the outset of spring when he handed the starting spot to Murphy.

Kong76 May 12 2009 05:38 PM

Another argument for spikes first sliding. oe: (I guess I should explain myself, Wright slid into second head first and his hand was blocked nicely by recipient of throw and he was CS)

Kong76 May 12 2009 06:14 PM

Swing the freakin' bat, David.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 12 2009 06:25 PM

Let's go streaking!

GYC May 12 2009 06:54 PM

Absolutely no reason to pull Pelfrey here. None whatsoever. This is dumb.

Kong76 May 12 2009 06:56 PM

Was Rusty the answer to the SNY trivia question? 500 hits with four teams; Houston, Mets, Expos, and Tigers?

Kong76 May 12 2009 07:06 PM

It's big names like Cobb and Mantle or someone. I'm having a Mets panic attack ...

Kong76 May 12 2009 07:07 PM

Or Cobb and Sheffield ;-)

GYC May 12 2009 07:09 PM

Yeah, Cobb and Sheffield. I forget where I learned it, but I read it awhile ago. Well, when I read it, it was just Staub and Cobb.

Chef to hit for Muffy here vs. the lefty.

PiggiesTomatoes May 12 2009 07:28 PM

How incredibly stupid. He's a very good but f-ing retarded player. If they fail to tie, that's two games in a row he's cost them big time. Nice ball to the gap, though.

TheOldMole May 12 2009 07:28 PM

Is Sheffield for Murphy such a great idea?

Swan Swan H May 12 2009 07:32 PM

The Mets have run for the cycle tonight.

PiggiesTomatoes May 12 2009 07:33 PM

Do they have drug testing for managers? Between being asleep at the wheel last night leaving Feliciano in against Diaz, pulling Pelfrey and Danny baseball tonight. See if he's betting on the games.

Big steal of 3rd, holy crap.

Swan Swan H May 12 2009 07:44 PM

At this moment I have for cahn-fidence in Tatis than Wright. This too shall pass, but let's see Freddy Teats yank one. Beltran showing major sackage stealing third. Just a fly ball, Freddy.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 12 2009 07:45 PM

Yeah Tatis.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 12 2009 07:46 PM

"So... one out. Tatis got on, so... who do we have that can hit into a DP for Reed?"

The SNY commercials with the two foreign guys running the souvenir shop are fantastic, every one of them.

I like when the reality that we're home forces the manager to use the relief ace in a tie game.

Sounds like Reyes is in Bennett's head...

Edgy DC May 12 2009 08:07 PM

Interesting situation. A steal just means walk Cora and burn the last guy on the Mets bench and get Francisco Rodriguez out of the game. Not that Rodriguez isn't finished.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 12 2009 08:08 PM

Whew. (Nice try, Escobar, you sneaky little shit.)

Fman99 May 12 2009 08:08 PM

Big steal there! IBB to Cora, and it's up to Ramon to get it done here.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 12 2009 08:09 PM

Braves not getting the 'Cora Sucks' memo, walks him.

TheOldMole May 12 2009 08:09 PM

A steal also means a runner in scoring position.

PiggiesTomatoes May 12 2009 08:10 PM

Bennett looks like Shakes the Pitcher.

3-0!

Well there was the chance Cora hits a single there and wins the game too. That also gets Rodriguez out of there.

Howie just said this is the first time all year they've won after being down in eighth.

A walk-off walk. Not exactly how I envisioned it, but it works for me. A big win after lastnight's debacle.
