1. The Mets have never lost a game started by Lincecum. 2. Lincecum's ERA against the Mets is higher than against any other National League team.

SF announcers keys to the game: 1. Go get'em scrubs! (Bochy and his staff--including ex-MFY coaches Roberto Kelly and Hensley Meulens--think Lincecum can get by without the regular lineup) 2. When in doubt, walk the catcher. (First time in MLB history that two consecutive games were ended by a walk-off HR from the catcher)

I'm not convinced Bay wasn't going to catch what Pagan caught in the third. Bay tends to make catches like a wide receiver, but Pagan got in the way of his route. What's caught is caught, thank goodness, but I wish they'd clear up their signals. It's the third time I can recall where it didn't look like anybody called I GOT IT!

By the way, for all of the talk this past off-season about Bay's subpar defense, I can't recall one single bad play that Bay made as a Met outfielder ... not one safe hit to left field on Bay's watch that a better fielder might've converted into an out.

What a surprise. The Mets don't score in the same inning that Jerry Randolph puts on the sac bunt. I don't understand why the booth went on and on about "The Book" and playing for the tie at home and how Jerry was engaging in a one-run strategy. Because in "My Book" sac bunting is a no-run strategy.

Jerry used up an out with Pagan bunting from his stronger side against a pitcher that just walked the lead-off batter. Then, he puts in Blanco--good--but PHs for him after the Giants counter Blanco with their closer. If Jerry had just left Cat. into bat against the lefty set-up guy, he could have struck out and left the Mets with a bench and kept Wilson out of the game.

What's the point of Oliver Perez other than to serve as a money sponge? (Which sounds like an infomercial item, actually.)

Was that the same location as Bay's 1st inning strikeout?

Well, they were both in Queens.

To be fair, the Giants got screwed on a couple calls as well. The bases loaded situation Romo came into was aided quite a bit by Dan Runzler not getting the high strike.

For the record, I had Francoeur as our third baseman and Pelfrey our left/right fielder (switching with Bay as necessary) if we tied it. Release Catalanotto and Matthews NOW!!!, call up hitters and a new starter from AAA as well NOW!!!

You know how they've simplified fast-food cash registers-- with pictures and such-- so that even semi-literate workers can punch in accurate, precise orders? Is there any way we can make on-field decision-making like that? Like, with a laminated mat or something?

The O could have Jerryproofed this game and didn't, but what an unsatisfying 2 of 3 this was overall. I mean, walk-offs are nice, but it'd be cool to get one without first having to overcome your own blown save. The pen gave back the lead in all three games, and of course blew 2 of 3 in Cincy too. UGL double E.

well the pen, particularly Nieve (and i think Feliciano) have been overused by Jerry, and these are the results. If you think its ugly now wait until August when Nieve has pitched 65 of the Mets 100 games played.

Still, though, cultural shifts have to be counted in the increments they take place in. And really, we should be rooting not for Jerry's dismissal (though that will inevitiably happen), but for Jerry to wake up to how his bullpen usage is working against his team's interests. It's not like there's any guarantee that his replacment will be awake in this regard. I was unhappy with Randolph's bullpen handling, but I never expected I would absolutely abhor his replacement's. At least Randolph did thinks like try to keep Duaner Sanchez and Aaron Heilman working on alternative days in equal status situations.

Wright was right about that pitch (Davis in the next AB not so much) but I suspect his blow-up had as much to do with the mounting pile of strikeouts he's had recently as it did with that specific one. The boy's got to be getting frustrated at this point.

For what it's worth. Adam Rubin reveals that it would have been Jon Niese in left field had we tied the game. (And, I guess, Jason Bay at third?)
