METS: Luis Castillo 2B Fernando Tatis LF David Wright 3B Carlos Beltran CF Jeff Francoeur RF Omir Santos C Daniel Murphy 1B Wilson Valdez SS Mike Pelfrey RHP (10-10, 4.83) Phillies: J. Rollins ss S. Victorino cf C. Utley 2b R. Howard 1b R. Ibanez lf J. Werth rf P. Feliz 3b C. Ruiz c J. Moyer p Even though he's not in the lineup, watch Angel Pagan go to CF anyway. Tatis in LF--as Jason Fry said today, "The only player left who might be profitably scrutinized for 2010 is Nick Evans, but he isn't playing for some reason Jerry Manuel hasn't seen fit to share with the world. (Are there really still things to learn about Fernando Tatis?)" Howie Rose is doing the game w/Tim McCarver on FOX. And The Times Mets beat reporter is covering the MFY game today.

The Mets have more runs than the other team. First time since Sunday. Of course, the other team hasn't had a chance yet but it's still worth noting!

Four straight hits, no five, to start the game. I wonder what the consecutive hits record is to start a game for the Mets?

I love the fact that Howie is doing the game with McCarver.

This is Castillo's 15th start at lead-off with his .400-ish OBA. Pagan has 60, Cora 23 It's amazing how stubborn managers are to move a guy off his "natural" position. (what is someone's "natural" position anyway? Is that the one they were in coming out of the womb?) Even though Jerry floated the idea of Castillo batting there pre-season, he still barely did so even after Reyes was lost for the year. On the other hand, [u:4gozidsg]Charlie[/u:4gozidsg] Manual hasn't moved Rollins and his year-long sub-.300 OBA out of there either, even with a likely replacement like Victorino in his stable.

[quote="Kong76":1llp9br4]Four straight hits, no five, to start the game. I wonder what the consecutive hits record is to start a game for the Mets?[/quote:1llp9br4] First time since June 25, 1979 the Mets started a game with at least five straight hits: six against the Pirates then, resulting in a 4-0 lead off Jim Rooker. Mets won 4-0. Nice to know we have a few tricks up our sleeve against eventual division champions when we're otherwise not participating in these races. (Though a little disturbing they never scored again in that game and now it's 4-3 in this game.)

Nothing like 5 2-out runs to ruin a good start.

Pitch Pelfrey into off-season shitpile He's Aaron Heilman but without the talent

I'm really totally sick of Jerry Manuel. His contract expires after 2010, right? Of course, I'm hoping the Mets win the World Series in 2010, which would mean Jerry's return in 2011. But that's neither here nor there right now. Meanwhile, I walked away from the TV after the first inning. Now I'm glad I did. (It sure was nice seeing Carlos Beltran hit a home run, though. We should have seen that 20 more times this year.)

Pelf is such a disappointment. He should have tried to be the ace of what's left of the rotation, and he's getting out-pitched by Misch and Redding.

Speaking of totally sick, I'm sick of these FOX games turning into a commercial for Tim McCarver's crooning hobby/career.

Francoeur with warning track power twice today in the band box ... not a comforting sight.

[quote="Kong76":1bkyslht]Speaking of totally sick, I'm sick of these FOX games turning into a commercial for Tim McCarver's crooning hobby/career.[/quote:1bkyslht] Funny. I was wondering why my program guide listed the Saturday game this week as "Fox presents the Tim McCarver Bullshit-and-Self-Indulgence Sandwich of the Week with Howie Rose." Francoeur's got the hand problem, no? That would explain a bit of the power drain.

The booth tells us that the Mets lead the league in hits with men in scoring position? Is that possible? I ain't checking, just thinking out loud by myself here in this barren IGT lol.

More freakin' Tim and his friends promos. Howie creeping towards getting me to fire off an email to him.

I ain't checking, just thinking out loud by myself here in this barren IGT lol.[/quote:bgwr85xs] Tops in the NL, third in the majors (behind Anaheim and Bawlmer) with .284. (Slugging is middle-of-the-road, though, at .415, and they're second-to-last in HRs w/RISP.) McCarver's one of the few innocuous public figures I haven't met yet to whom I'd have REAL trouble finding something nice to say if I ever met 'em. (The best I could come up with? Probably something like, "I remember watching you when I was a kid," or something else similarly passive-aggressive.)

[quote="Kong76":3qruim7j]The booth tells us that the Mets lead the league in hits with men in scoring position? Is that possible?[/quote:3qruim7j] It's been true virtually the entire season. Of course a lot of those are singles which often score only one run - and sometimes not even that many. It's also a stat that doesn't mean as much as the people who quote it a lot think it means.

Oh good, it's the two-out baserunner brigade.

I predict a grand slam to the second deck.

Phils leave 'em loaded in the 8th ... PEDRO!! Three outs to get a run or six.

K-Rod to close. Secure all loose jewelry and other items, and keep all hands inside the car.

Let's turn two tomorrow. The Phil fans I know-- never mind the random strangers-- have been much less gracious about the Mets' troubles this year than the Yank fans I know, even in the wake of last year's World F*cking Championship. Pardon me for sounding a bit vicious, but I wouldn't mind their children crying a little this weekend, and a lot beyond that.

Craptastic!! Wright hits double digits in Hr's for the year...I guess asking for 10 more would be a bit much.
