Hopefully glitch-free lineups: METS Pagan CF Castillo 2B Murphy 1B Wright 3B Francoueur RF Sullivan LF Berroa SS Schneider C Pelfrey P NATIONALS Morgan CF Guzman SS Zimmerman 3B Dunn LF Johnson 1B Willingham RF Belliard 2B Bard C Stammen P Let's Go Mets!

the nationals are the worst team in baseball, yet of the team playing tonight, the only hitter from the mets that would get into it is David Wright. that's pretty awful.

yeah i did realise you could argue even that.

I can't believe how selfish Wright is that he won't switch positions in order to fit into the Nationals. (No point waiting for new controversies to actually occur before commenting on them.)

seawolf17 Jul 22 2009 05:37 PM

Really, the only guy he's having a better season than in that infield is Ron Belliard. (Actually, I guess Guzman kinda sucks too.)

This series hasn't been pretty to look at ... but at least the games have had a quick pace to them. Kinda like what Woody was saying in 'Annie Hall' about life being sad and horrible ... but over far too quickly

Just got home-- what did Castillo do to get his crazy ass thrown out?

Luis had to stretch for it and juggled it briefly before gloving it too late. He didn't get all hysterical or anything, but he must have said some interesting words calmly because he got heaved before Jerry or even Berroa from SS could get there.

Pagan = faster than I thought

Nymr83 Jul 22 2009 06:23 PM

Pagan triples! and did the Mets just benefit from an error? wow!

seawolf17 Jul 22 2009 06:25 PM

Angel Pagan says "I do it myself."

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 22 2009 06:26 PM

"Ex... tra... base?"

Nymr83 Jul 22 2009 06:26 PM

Murphy just drew the first walk in the team's last 107 plate appearences, wow this team is pressing to much.

Nymr83 Jul 22 2009 06:30 PM

score more runs, idiots!!

Nymr83 Jul 22 2009 06:31 PM

way to lose the ball francoeur!! is there still anyone who thinks his defense is even remotely comparable to Church?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 22 2009 06:31 PM

Whoops.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 22 2009 07:01 PM

Double from pinch-hitter Reed, walk from Pagan. Stammen leaving for Bergmann. All we need's some onions, and we've got a stew going.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 22 2009 07:02 PM

Tatis.... jeez. Don't leave it all up to our best hitter, please.

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 22 2009 07:04 PM

Hell of an at bat Fernando. LEt's hope Murphy can pick him up.

Nymr83 Jul 22 2009 07:05 PM

no righty to hit for murphy here??

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 22 2009 07:05 PM

We fucking suck

PiggiesTomatoes Jul 22 2009 07:06 PM

Oh, fuck!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 22 2009 07:16 PM

Ya see, what Jerry's doing here, ya see, is he's gotta make quota. Only one pitch'r so far, so's he's gotta make up frit, ya see?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 22 2009 07:20 PM

3 pitchers to get 3 outs (the scenic route). This IS a union shop, innit?

Edgy DC Jul 22 2009 07:21 PM

Find. A way. To win.

Nymr83 Jul 22 2009 07:25 PM

Prediction: 71-91

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 22 2009 07:25 PM

Nice pick from Johnson at first makes it two out. Great idea, this swinging for hits against a guy who tends to throw 97 and walk the park.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 22 2009 07:26 PM

gnight

At least the games the last two nights have ended early with little drama!

Cat Ass Trophy.

Not a total waste-- we've gotten a good look at Nick Johnson, of the magic first-base glove and .400-plus OBP. Personally, I think he'd look better a year older, in blue and orange.

Seems like Johnson would fit right in with this team.
