Re-start the 2nd half with games at CF on:
- Friday (7:10) - Worley vs Dickey
- Saturday (4:10) - Hamels v Niese
- Sunday (1:10) - TBA v Pelfrey


Worley has faced the Mets three times in his thus far short career, 1 inning of relief in 2010 and 2 starts this season.
Start #1, on 4/29, he blanked the Mets on 2 hits over 6 IPs and got the win.
Start #2, ironically* on 5/29, we kicked his dimpled butt for 8 runs (5 earned) on 12 hits over just 3 IPs in a game the Mets held on to win 9-5 after taking an 8-0 lead

* and by ironically I mean not ironically at all but since most sportscasters throw in that word whenever they mean even the slightest bit of coincidence I figured I'd use it here too


And for those of you out-of-towners who normally DON'T have the MLB 'Extra Innings' package, this is the week they usually give you a free sample so check your local cable/satellite provider

Not to knock our KTE abilities...but Adam Rubin really does a great job with his series previews.

Sadly, because Bud Selig will do anything for a buck, there is a blackout window for both Extra Innings and mlb.tv whenever FOX has a game. That means that Saturday's game is not available from these sources so if you don't get the game (see other thread), then you're not watching the Mets.

Sunday's game is on TBS.

When I see 'Cole Hamels' I always think of 'whole camels'. Don't know why, but I do and it makes me snicker.

Excuse me, waitress? I'd like a little Oil Spill instead of the Polanco, and... well... can I get a Mayberry/Rule V-guy salad instead of the Flyin' Hawaiian? Thanks, you're a peach.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think our ex-closer's buyout for next season could pay the salaries for the entirety of the Phils' pen (sans Madson, who's still technically on the DL 'til tonight).

I noted this during the All-Star Game (because yes, even then) you're not even allowed to view highlights online when the game's on Fox until the game is over. So you can track the game on gameday, but if you want to see Murphy's home run Saturday? nope, gotta wait until it's over.
