If momentum is only as good as the next day's starter, we're in pretty good shape.

Y'see, this is the problem with demanding that we throw everyone in the current pen off the deck ... THEN WHAT? Well, the answer to 'Then What?', especially after several of the youngsters (Edgin, E. Ramirez, Hefner) are already up, becomes something like -- Manny Acosta! And, FWIW, he's been pretty decent at Buffalo: 7 ER over 28 IP (2.25 ERA) with a WHiP of 1.00 even including just 4 BBs and 1 HR

I know, and he's traditionally been good in second halfs, but it just gives me flashbacks.

Another St Johns alum, and one that the writers around this town were desperate for one of the locals to draft back in 2005 (as if they actually knew enough about any of the other candidates to make a legit comparison). This one is a real hail mary. Looks like he's only pitched a handful of innings since like 2008, most of it in the minors, and most of that lousy.

I've shifted out of "lets make the playoffs" mode. I'm now in "lets finish over 500." and "individual Met accomplishments" mode, and if we get our shit together and make another run it'll be a pleasant surprise. I'm not giving up. After all, this is baseball. Just shifting gears to keep my sanity.

Bay contributes! Walks into the Nats catcher while he trying to throw out Hairston who ends up safe even after over sliding the bag. No interference call on Jason. Two outs Cedeno, so do that 2 out thing.

Until about 2-3 weeks ago I would have felt reasonably confident of the bats fighting back to make this a game and maybe even tie it or go ahead*. Not anymore.

before the all-star break was a minor skid where they lost more than they won. easy to bounce back from. with a couple of series wins. Barring an Oakland like run here, this is ..dismal. and the nachos I had were crap. Met Steve Rogers though. Probably the highlight of the night. wait, check that, highlight was probably watching the model model the Mets gear that company designed.

Whoa, there, Z...you were around in September 2007, right? This run doesn't even come close. This was always going to be a year to rebuild. It sucks to lose, but 47-50 is still a lot better than I would have expected at this point in the season.

There were two two-strike pitches to Morse in that sixth-- one at the knees, one at his eyes but check-swung-through-- that could've (should've?) made for the punchout, and third out. Alas, they were called "ball" and "check swing" respectively, and, well...

Yea, course I remember '07. I hear what your saying. And like you I wasn't expecting too much this season. And that's the thing. It surprised and excited me a bit. Everyone said they were overachieving (& we all knew they were) and would come back to earth during the 2nd half. I didn't expect it to happen in one fell swoop though, right out of the gate. Right now we are pretty much where I expected to be coming into the season.
