If i read that correctly: 2000 was the last year the Mets had five pitchers win 10 games. who were they?

Leiter, Reed, Hampton, Rusch... who's the fifth? Dotel? Yoshii? Jones?

Rusch! He's the one I forgot. Jones, I think.

Wright tattooed that one... off the wall. I know it's old, but boy, it's getting old.

I liked Rusch. Yoshii wasn't actually on the team in 2000. I don't know why I always think he was. I think Dotel was a September call up, no way he won 10 that year (if any year)

Four other pitchers had at least 5 wins. Name them.

Braves announcers: "That says something about how the Mets feel about Reyes right now, that they're willing to give away an out to get him to second, rather than have him steal."

Edgy to self: "No, they've been doing that pretty much most of the year."

Because someone looked at their watch and saw it was the 8th inning.

Now if he - and presumably Parnell - can keep runners off the bases we can get through the 9th without having to see Stanton and his triceps up at the plate.

Re: I.G.T. 8/31/2011 Marlins @ Mets

Bay should try that oppo-field thing a bit more often cuz when he does hit it that way he rarely seems to make outs.
(or maybe that's just my imagination ... once again, running away with me)

A bunt by Evans, I might have been OK with.

He effectively does that anyhow.

Jason Bay collects his third hit, and invites Mets fans to kick this football he's holding, which he'll totally never pull away at the last moment again.

In the beer voting, I took a lot of pointage away from Bay for not touching home plate. Bay could have been called safe merely on interference, as Buck isn't allowed to block the plate without the ball in his possession, but his slide wasn't even close enough to the baseline to be interfered with.

I guess it's an interpretation..he slid along the baseline and .. I dunno, tripped on himself and rolled away.

Then shouldn't Tejada get something for turning a tie game into a Met win on a play that most second basemen don't make?

Wright's play was the tougher stop, Tejada's had the tougher throw.
And, yeah, the game is definitely tied up if Tejada doesn't make his play. Not so with Wright's although we would have been in deep doo-doo.

He was behind-- 10-15 feet?-- and past the keystone, heading toward left, then planted and gunned out a surprisingly fast Stanton.

Acosta has the best ERA of any of the Met relievers who pitched tonight?
I have some box scores to catch up on.
Has he been that effective latesly?
