In the case of Maine v. Atilano, I find for the plaintiff, and award damages of more runs scored than allowed. Perhaps if Elena Kagan were on the high court, she'd see to it that the Mets don't leave D.C. winless.

Well, he is outslugging Jason Bay. (Although, to be fair, so is Pagan. And Blanco.) Not that there are all that many alternatives-- cough, Animal, cough, cough-- but do you want the free-swingers clustered in front of the pitcher like that?

After all the years Davis has given to this franchise, winning seven WS titles? They're just going to push him to DH to make room for Pedro Guerrero III? Omar's only doing that because Guerrero's a Latino.

Adam Rubin says... John Maine was pulled from Thursday's game after issuing a leadoff walk to Nyjer Morgan. There was no immediate word on Maine's issue, but it's believed his shoulder had been bothering him recently. The Mets seemed to be aware of an issue with Maine before he departed. Raul Valdes, who replaced Maine, had been warming before Maine threw a pitch in the game. so there has to be some kind of injury if Valdes was warming up before Maine went out there

Kong76 May 20 2010 05:44 PM Re: End This National Nightmare: IGT 5/20/2010 NYM @ WAS

Who knows what was said, it looked like Jerry didn't even want to get near Maine on the mound and made the move and walked away from a John Maine in disgust leaving him and Werthen on the mound. The dugout interaction looked testy too. The Mets may have four new pitchers in the rotation after Johan before we know it.

Nymr83 May 20 2010 05:53 PM Re: End This National Nightmare: IGT 5/20/2010 NYM @ WAS

Perez and Maine could both not last the month, we need Niese back from injury fast. Jerry sucks and fire Jerry and all that, but Omar failed to get another starter this offseason and everyone claimed they knew that was a big mistake

[quote="Nymr83":3o8onldq]... Omar failed to get another starter this offseason and everyone claimed they knew that was a big mistake[/quote:3o8onldq] Absolutely. During ST, we heard that the Mets needed 2 of 3 out of Pelfrey, Maine and Perez to come through. They got 1 out of 3 and the anointed 5th starter got hurt. I'm all for Jerry going away but Omar must go as well.

bmfc1 May 20 2010 06:18 PM Re: End This National Nightmare: IGT 5/20/2010 NYM @ WAS

Pat Misch is going tonight so he slots in perfectly if the Mets want him. There's an off day Monday so they don't need another SP until May 29. http://buffalo.bisons.milb.com/milb/sta ... pid=435619

Davis now almost gets thrown out because he misjudged a single and headed back to 2nd base, but a bad throw lets him get in to 3rd... the bases are JUICED lets expand this lead to where even Perez couldn't choke it away!

Frayed Knot May 20 2010 06:40 PM Re: End This National Nightmare: IGT 5/20/2010 NYM @ WAS

Nice stick from Ike but he's having a funky trip around the bases this inning -- stayed while he should have gone on two different balls to the OF but is still alive despite advancing only one base.

They win the damn thing. Howie got into blowout mode and after giving condolences to Francis X Healey whose dad Bernard passed away, spent an inning talking about Fran, giving him good natured props for whoring for sponsors and whatnot. Before long he was back in crisis mode as Mejia lost his stuff.

I went to game. David Wright struck not out. Jose Reyes popped not out. I demand season tickets. On the road also.

Edgy DC May 21 2010 07:02 AM Re: End This National Nightmare: IGT 5/20/2010 NYM @ WAS

More in keeping was the bullpen mailing in the last three innings. A handful of rallies were lost to double plays also. Was there any explanation for the Francoeur Freakout? That ball was 40 feet behind him. Nice and lofty too. Was it lost in the lights? The sky was sick with bugs last night, with fluffy couds of white moths, and I could imagine the ball flying into one of those clouds and it not being clear which moth was the ball. Ike Davis hit the ball hard all night. Seems a little confused on the basepaths though.

metirish May 21 2010 07:07 AM Re: End This National Nightmare: IGT 5/20/2010 NYM @ WAS

Lost in the lights/sky.....on replays Francoeur could be seen to ask "where is it"....

Frayed Knot May 21 2010 08:24 AM Re: End This National Nightmare: IGT 5/20/2010 NYM @ WAS

In retrospect, one of the biggest plays in the game was Pudge Rodriguez's brain-freeze on the base paths. That snuffed out a potential big inning. Imagine how knee-knocking that later Adam Dunn AB would have been had the score been a tick or two closer than it was.

Edgy DC May 21 2010 08:43 AM Re: End This National Nightmare: IGT 5/20/2010 NYM @ WAS

There were a handful of brainfreezes by both teams on the paths. During pitching changes, the third base coaches were waiving guys over from second for impromptu tutoring sessions.
