Does any advertiser think that showing a commercial with Jeter on a Mets broadcast will sell their product?

Reyes - SS Castillo - 2B Wrioght - 3B Beltran - CF Church - RF Pagan - LF Anderson - 1B Casanova - C Pelfrey - P facing Jair Jurrjens - the Curaco native (there's a rule that the Braves always have at least one on their roster) acquired from the Tigers in the Edgar Renteria deal who's making his 5th start of the year and 12th ML start overall 2 - 2; 3.20; 1.263 WHiP

THROW A STRIKE

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2008 05:23 PM

I had visions of Wright's throw beaning the runner coming home

*62 Apr 25 2008 05:45 PM

Looks like Pelfrey has reverted to his statistical norm.

TheOldMole Apr 25 2008 05:49 PM

How do you pronounce Jair Jurrjens?

Van Der Sloot did get squeezed bad..Too bad..

Grote15 Apr 25 2008 06:16 PM

Cmon Church! No more Cocks..no can throw strike

Grote15 Apr 25 2008 06:18 PM

YES..This is fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, and just a few days ago you guys were complaining about all their RBIs being on infield hits. Now they're going that one better.

themetfairy Apr 25 2008 06:22 PM

You're not getting the big house Grote ;)

TheOldMole Apr 25 2008 06:23 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 25 2008 06:33 PM

And Jair?

*62 Apr 25 2008 06:24 PM

If only Reyes had one-third Castillo's plate discipline. Seems Castillo looks at the first five pitches of an AB every night. "The Kid" should take notes.

*62 Apr 25 2008 06:26 PM

And Pelf walks the leadoff guy ...... just shoot me in the head.

themetfairy Apr 25 2008 06:47 PM

Pagan is a horrible outfielder. The Braves tie it - ugh!

KC Apr 25 2008 06:53 PM

That wasn't an easy play and he handled the ball off the wall nicely. The throw home earlier in the game wasn't too pretty though.

Nymr83 Apr 25 2008 07:01 PM

Pelfrey that was horrible, the pitcher gets a hit and then the leadoff guy hits a bomb, and this i all after you were handed a lead.

seawolf17 Apr 25 2008 07:02 PM

Effin' A.

AG/DC Apr 25 2008 07:02 PM

We've got to start showing that kind of power. This get-a-narrow-lead-and-protect-it strategy won't work.

AG/DC Apr 25 2008 07:04 PM

Marlon played that like an infielder catching a liner.

AG/DC Apr 25 2008 07:11 PM

Brawling in the stands again?

mario25 Apr 25 2008 07:12 PM

This sucks.....this team is tough to watch

mario25 Apr 25 2008 07:17 PM

2 hits off of Jars Jimminemenm or whatever his name is...awful

AG/DC Apr 25 2008 07:29 PM

Smith not having much to get the lefties out.

seawolf17 Apr 25 2008 07:35 PM

What the hell is going on in the crowd tonight? They talked about that on the radio on the way home, then something just happened again. What the hell is in the Bud Light at Shea this year?

AG/DC Apr 25 2008 07:37 PM

Folks is out for blood.

*62 Apr 25 2008 07:38 PM

Fewer seats and higher prices next year may keep the riff-raff out. Nah.

Fman99 Apr 25 2008 07:38 PM

I'd be pissed if I had paid $35 to watch them play like this. Maybe not beat up my neighbor pissed but still.

KC Apr 25 2008 07:44 PM

Pissed at what? The money? The loss? No homers? You go full well knowing that anything can happen on any given day.

Fman99 Apr 25 2008 07:44 PM

Fuck. Anyone who wants to, you know, get a clutch hit, go for it. We won't be mad.

Fman99 Apr 25 2008 07:49 PM

="KC"]Pissed at what? The money? The loss? No homers? You go full well knowing that anything can happen on any given day. Shitty play. Watching them making bad throws, swinging at junk, pop ups, shoddy bullpen work, etc., etc., what exactly is there that I'm not pissed about? I live 320 miles from Shea. I only get to actually attend 1-2 games per year because I have small children and traveling with them is complicated. So when I do get to go, and they play like half-assed bush leaguers, I get pissed.

DocTee Apr 25 2008 08:04 PM

Lots of Schaefer being left in the fridge tonight. Complete suckitude.

bmfc1 Apr 25 2008 08:06 PM

With three runs, it looks like the offense did something but they were gifts! Between this and the Rangers loss (Pittsburgh got a PP with 2 minutes left), I'm not smiling right now.

AG/DC Apr 25 2008 08:09 PM

As much as anything right now, we should notice that Wright is zero for his last 18, his longest streak as a biggie.

mario25 Apr 25 2008 08:10 PM

Rangers were up 3-0...Bad call on the last penalty on the Rangers...Crosby gets calls he shouldnt

mario25 Apr 25 2008 08:10 PM

Why bring Delgado in against a LH

mario25 Apr 25 2008 08:11 PM

I feel a K comin on....there it is

AG/DC Apr 25 2008 08:12 PM

Because they don't have a whole variety of choices. He fans.

seawolf17 Apr 25 2008 08:17 PM

Ugly.

AG/DC Apr 25 2008 08:17 PM

I said to turn the mother out. Not ground the mother out.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 25 2008 08:18 PM

We don't have a very good team. You know, waiting for Alou to come back is doing this offense no favors.

bmfc1 Apr 25 2008 08:18 PM

4 brutal games in the last five. Not tough losses but failures in all parts of the game each time. They only won with me, Greg and Edgy in attendance.

Fman99 Apr 25 2008 08:20 PM

Blecch.

seawolf17 Apr 25 2008 08:22 PM

Someone bring the Pope back. (And ask if he can get lefties out.)

mario25 Apr 25 2008 08:23 PM

AWFUL THRU AND THRU

metirish Apr 25 2008 08:45 PM

Took my brother to the game , he was here all week form Ireland and tonight was the only chance to see a game , could we have gone and seen a more abject Mets performance , I think not. The most exciting thing was the fight in the second bank of seating behind the third base dugout , noting more than "handbags at six paces" but more fun than the game. Mets were fucking brutal.

When Jurrjens walked in the first batter, he clearly was upset and said something in exasperation and walked to the back of the mound, turning his back on the plate as he went to the rosin bag. Tim McClelland -- a veteran umpire of who knows how many freakin years, took off his mask, walked towards the mound and yelled back at the pitcher. Uh, Tim? You're the professional. Keep your ass behind the plate and call the balls and strikes. I though Bobby Cox was perfectly justified in coming out to yell at McClelland for that...even if he did get tossed within about 10 seconds of coming out of the dugout. Couldn't see the big fight but there was another one on the field level earlier tin the game, down the left field line as well. Can't defend the morons but -- and I've touched on this before here -- there's a real anger that's palpable in the crowd, I think. Lots of Mets getting booed tonight, including Castillo, Delgado, Pelfrey and Feliciano. It sure seemed like Willie actually called for the hit-and-run when Casanova was batting and Marlon was on first base early in the game. It's not as rare as a squeeze call but it surprising (in a good way) to see.
