Mmm. Cora batting second. Love the pain.

Even if the roof isn't open, CSB is shining down on the SHaMs today!

I think that's Sheffield. Gargantuan head as well, though, so... understandable.

Ollie pins a guy at 3rd with 1 out with a couple whiffs. 24 pitch inning but nice.

Retires Oeltjen, works around a one-out triple by Ojeda, and does a not-too-shabby job of pitching around Reynolds (who was weirdly selective).

By Jove, think Ollie's got it?

Left work early to play 9, home just in time to see Omir GIDP. Drat.

FROM THE SILVER LINING DEPARTMENT: They're making Garland throw a bunch of pitches, and not-- Francoeur and Santos excepted (as usual)-- taking terrible at-bats.

Ollie has thrown a first pitch ball to every hitter so far.

Uh, boo?

As Ollie struggles to get out of a two-on, one-out jam, I notice the Weather Channel is listing gametime temp as 105. The roof is closed, I presume.

Getting away with walking the leadoff batter only lasts for so long. Who'dve thunk it?

Good block of the plate by Santos yields a questionable out call.

The good news, still only 1 run off Ollie thru 4.
Bad news: runners all over the place on 90+ pitches and 5 walks.
Oh yeah, and we're getting shut out again.

Oeltjen is the evil spawn of a rabid kangaroo and an emu.

Mets finally hit something the Arizona OF can't come up with as Sullivan nails a 2-out triple.

Two-out triple from Cory Sullivan.

It's freaking amazing that he survived that walk. Incomphrensible, even today.

It would be very impossible today.

See the documentary - there's a discussion of it in the Film forum.

Ollie: 6 hits (4 for xtra bases), 6 walks in 5 innings ... and only 1 run.

Get off my mound.

How in the hell did the Mets score three runs?

See, this is what it's come to - I'm questioning my team when THEY score runs.

Santos takes a hell of hit... to no avail.

We're not even taking those games that Fate lists in our direction.

Intentionally walking Francoeur? Regardless of result, it looks and feels unnatural, like when they overfeed those geese for foix gras.

Productive strikeout from Tatis! (Or, rather, shitty blocking job from defensive sub Montero.)

Bring on the Frankie.

Jon Rauch is a large human being. One that could do damage if you get in front of him.
