Hanson and Gee, pray for Met glee.

Thank goodness for Monday night games, and not Mondays off and me stuck watching random teams play each other.

Trying too hard maybe. And maybe the organist shouldn't play that card until the time comes, you know?

Well, it's his job. shouldn't he 'try too hard'?

With the organ, maybe. With Twitter, maybe not.

Kirk/Rube: "We see your cheap run, and call." (With a nice bunt from Pubes in between, for those who like that sort of thing.)

A real slugfest in Atlanta tonight.

Bay does a nice Endy impersonation.

Thole scores on a wild pitch!

Edgy MD Apr 16 2012 06:52 PM Re: Our Brave Face: NYM @ ATL, 4/16/12

McDowell's strategy: "Let him bunt; don't give Tejada anything to hit; if you lose him, we'll go to our lefthander." Downside of that strategy: Bouncing balls to the plate with runners on third has its risks.

This has been an enjoyable game, been watching on and off since the 2nd inning. Missed the Bay catch but saw Ike's dinger.

Mets – Willets Point Apr 16 2012 07:18 PM Re: Our Brave Face: NYM @ ATL, 4/16/12

Geez, I just assumed that was going to be a home run off the bat. Chipper has me conditioned.

If the bases were full, I'm sure he would have had just enough to get it out.

Oh, you Chipperfatalists, missing the truth under your noses that is Jason Bay.

Mets – Willets Point Apr 16 2012 07:24 PM Re: Our Brave Face: NYM @ ATL, 4/16/12

The Mets are making some guffaws defensively but not paying for it in runs allowed and now Jason Bay hits a homer. And all of this is happening at The House of Horrors. We are in the Mets' version of the Twilight Zone.

PiggiesTomatoes Apr 16 2012 07:29 PM Re: Our Brave Face: NYM @ ATL, 4/16/12

Game 3 Rangers still scoreless. May get a chance to see the end of that one.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 16 2012 08:07 PM Re: Our Brave Face: NYM @ ATL, 4/16/12

Keep this in mind: the Mets went 6-3 to start the season against three division rivals, and did so without three key offensive players hitting much more than a lick. Can you imagine what might happen if two of Ike, Duda and Bay get untracked?

I was watching the Atlanta telecast on Extra Innings. Two things: Eric Hinske, striking out in the seventh with two runners on, yelled "FUCK!" so loudly that it was very easily heard on TV. The Braves announcers thought that Carlos Delgado was from Panama. And that included Carlos' former teammate Tom Glavine who was one of the three voices in the booth.

Every Mets starter is among the top 30 ranked by ERA (NL). Can't say that about any other NL staff. The Mets are exceeding expectations. We knew they'd have the pitching. The only question was whether they'd hit enough for the pitching to hold up.

Very strange. I mean, while the guy is quiet, to the extent that he does express himself verbally and non-verbally, he's pariticularly expressive about his Puertorriquenisimo. He's spoken about not merely being Puerto Rican, but being Aguadillano. His politics are PR-centered. His charity work is PR-centered. He's represented Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. His hero is Roberto Clemente.

And when you talk about great players from Panama, Carlos Delgado is one of the first people you think of. I found out this morning that tonight's pitcher for the Braves, Randall Delgado, is from Panama. So maybe they think that if your name is Delgado, then you must be from Panama.
