Lannan shut us down on 4 hits last time (June 6) so we owe him one. That was also the last game John Maine pitched.

Good Ollie on view thru two.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2009 05:39 PM

David's got some ducks here.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2009 05:41 PM

And he puts one to the track but no further. Nyjer Morgan still engaging in piracy.

Anyone else's cablevision SNY HD feed not working properly? I've got no sound at all and only on SNY.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2009 05:47 PM

They get some measure of revenge by picking Nyjer off.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2009 05:52 PM

DP. Boo.

Omar in the booth and Cohen throws him a softball , jeez... "Hey Omar , we know it can be tough to be a player in NY , what about being a general manager?" puleeeeese

Nymr83 Jul 21 2009 06:00 PM

Omar cites Santos as a positive. I see him as a negative because his little hot streak essentially forced a better player out of town and now he's showing his true colors. Ashie still thinks he's the MVP.

metirish Jul 21 2009 06:00 PM

Someone needs to save Minaya from himself , sounding very desperate right now in the booth.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2009 06:03 PM

Like we all don't sound desperate.

Nymr83 Jul 21 2009 06:07 PM

nice catch Francoeur!

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 21 2009 06:09 PM

Is Murphy playing RF???

Castro has a long enough track record to tell me that thats just a short-term abberartion, its only 36 PAs! Santos has no track record and I say this is who he is. my original plan (sending him down and thus holding on to all 3 catchers in the organization) was still far wiser than the "omar plan" though.

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 21 2009 06:35 PM

4-0. With the way they're swinging, it may as well be 14-0.

And he'd be praised for his such wisdom if he ended up with a struggling Castro and recalled Santos after a month of ineptitude? Be fair here.

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 21 2009 06:44 PM

6 fucking walks in 5.1 innings??? Who's working with this moron?

Edgy DC Jul 21 2009 07:08 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 21 2009 07:09 PM

Bets down. Last chance. Another night without any extra base hits.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 21 2009 07:09 PM

Doesn't matter how many Ollie walks if we can't get runs off this horrible team.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2009 07:15 PM

Well, I'm glad I passed on attending that one. No more John Lannan starts for me. First Nats win for Jim Riggleman.

If he'd had a struggling Castro he'd still have had Santos in AAA if that looked like a better option today. He had a good chance to keep the team's options open with very little downside (did anyone expect Santos to be much better than Castro going forward if at all?)

Edgy DC Jul 21 2009 07:27 PM

It's not like Castro went for free. This is just too silly. You're bemoaning the loss of a guy who has hit .133 since being traded.

Even if Castro was still around we'd still be forced to watch Mets "hitters" like Muffy, Cora, Reed, etc. pound balls into the dirt night after night. Not to mention the pitching. Oy gevalt.

And no love from the ugly chick tonight.

we're not doing so well, are we?

My first full-game viewing of the Mets in three weeks. Man, do we suck.

Shutout for the fifth time in the last few weeks.
