Second is solely for bunting (reinforced by the idea that Pagan 8th is practice for leadoff) and that's totally different.

Tatis isn't the one hlding down Carter's spot. Jacobs is.

He was in mid-windup when the batter started to step out. The ump wasn't granting him time but when Pelfrey saw him backing out he stopped his motion as though time had been called.

Heard Howie on the radio saying that no matter the score, Frankie Rodriguez is likely to pitch today, because he hasn't pitched since Sunday and he needs regular work. Grrrrr.... He should have been pitching yesterday!

PedroDos gets his PedroDoble, and we're out of the 8th. Normal costs aside, when all's said and done, Met-career-wise, what's to stop a fella from buying a Pedro Feliciano jersey?

Clutch performance by Pelf. Very impressive. On the post-game, Castillo told Ed that before the season, he told Pelfrey that if he won 15 games, he would buy him a watch. 2 down, 13 to go. Howie laughed and said that this was a great marketing opportunity for the Mets. AdamRubinESPN Mets first shutout in Denver in 71 games in franchise history in the city.
