Good evening folks.

ESPN breaks the record for quickest mention of the you-know-what by saying it during the pitcher's pre-game warm-ups! Nice job! And if we're not sick enough by yesterday's games, and then the mention of the you-know-what, Sutcliffe reminds us of the '06 NLCS! Many thanks, and right before dinner, too!

Happy 67th Birthday to Bobby Cox! Mazel Tov, you SOB! Cox (not Dewey) is 16 and 6 in games on his birthday.

bmfc1 May 21 2008 05:45 PM

Did you know that the Mets lost to the Cardinals in the '06 NCLS when Yadier Molina hit a HR? It's true! Sutcliffe just said so... again. F U, you Cub. I'm glad he's recovered from colon cancer but I wish he didn't return to ESPN until next week.

apmorris May 21 2008 06:13 PM

OB, OB, OB. who the fark is OB. Is this NASCAR? ps. Sound to OFF

Zvon May 21 2008 06:13 PM

Unfrakinbelievable. McCann drives in 2. Castillo??!!

Zvon May 21 2008 06:15 PM

How does the grounder to Castillo get called a hit? It was a sure out that didn't happen.....

Zvon May 21 2008 06:17 PM

And a triple by Francouer drives in McCann. Castillo!!!!!!!

Nymr83 May 21 2008 06:17 PM

Pelfrey will be at about 80 pitches at the end of the 3rd here...

Grote15 May 21 2008 06:26 PM

So Alou is out with a strained muscle. We faced Juergens before..still can't hit him ...This is like watching a trainwreck every fucking night...I'm switching to American Idol in protest Yeah...that'll show em!

KC May 21 2008 06:32 PM

Ya really gotta stop making shit up.

seawolf17 May 21 2008 06:34 PM

In defense of SpongeBob TrollPants, we really can't hit him. Wasn't he the guy who walked three guys with the bases loaded? The Mets lost that game anyway, IIRC.

KC May 21 2008 06:41 PM

I meant a cramp ain't a strained muscle, but maybe I heard wrong and I'm just in acranky assed mood, and there's no way I'm watching A I.

TransMonk May 21 2008 07:00 PM

FUKudoME, this team sucks!

Rockin' Doc May 21 2008 07:02 PM

Is this team grossly underachieving? Or are they really not as good as most of us expected? It's hard for me to think this team is truly just a .500 team, but it is getting a little easier to envision with each embarrassing showing in defeat.

The year I counted on crapping on MFY fans and the Amazins are in the shitter also. Now that sux.

That's alright, ya poke someone with a stick you never know what they might poke back with -- this game really does suck. Sorry for soiling up the IGT.

Willets Point May 21 2008 07:37 PM

Well at least we have Indiana Jones starting tomorrow night. He'll put an end to this slide.

Zvon May 21 2008 07:51 PM

I saw a clip and it looks like old Indiana runs better than Castillo. Wow- 3 RBI double by Teixeira. This game does suck.

Willets Point May 21 2008 07:58 PM

Wright on base with no outs to start the come-from-behind rally. Lets! GO! Mets!

Zvon May 21 2008 07:58 PM

Woohoo, 2 hits in a row.

Willets Point May 21 2008 07:59 PM

Beltran doubles Wright home. Woo-hoo!

Willets Point May 21 2008 08:04 PM

Lead cut to 7. History in the making here folks, where are you?

bmfc1 May 21 2008 08:07 PM

Prediction: Willie's got 4 games to turn this shi(p) around or he's gone on Monday right before a home stand begins.

TransMonk May 21 2008 08:07 PM

I'm in the doubting room...but I still have the game on.

Zvon May 21 2008 08:11 PM

4-11. Now all we have to do is hold em. ;) One inning left to make a historical comeback. Wags on for some work. Greeted with a bloop single.

Fman99 May 21 2008 08:12 PM

I'm watching the ticker online. My wife wanted to watch something else and I have had enough of the badness for one day (week).

Willets Point May 21 2008 08:13 PM

Ay-yi-yi. The Bravos have the bases loaded with no outs. Don't they want to just get this thing over with and go home?

TransMonk May 21 2008 08:18 PM

With all respect to Ryan Church, Wags has been my Mets MVP so far this year. Big balls, Billy, big balls.

Zvon May 21 2008 08:20 PM

Held. Took Wags 17 pitches instead of 7 thanks to Reyes being out of position at short to field that ground single.

Zvon May 21 2008 08:21 PM

Castillo can get off my shit list by starting this comeback rally.

Zvon May 21 2008 08:24 PM

Castillo stays on my list. Hey, doin it with 2 outs would only make it more historic.

Zvon May 21 2008 08:26 PM

Worst game Ive had the displeasure to witness this season. But it's still early.

Zvon May 21 2008 08:30 PM

This may be the first time that I'm not totally bummed about Comcast's total service interruption in my neighborhood. At least I was spared seeing this one play out.

From Rubin. ] Luis Castillo - the four-year, $25 million second baseman who can't play day games after night games in Year 1 of the deal because of balky knees - butchered a grounder that could have ended the inning and kept the Braves scoreless. After a two-out walk to Chipper Jones, Mark Teixeira sent a slow but routine grounder to second. Castillo, playing back on the grass, reacted slowly, then had trouble pulling the ball from his glove. Teixeira beat the throw. Brian McCann followed with a two-run double. Jeff Francoeur then crushed an RBI triple. The Braves led, 3-1. Randolph suggested Pelfrey should have done a better job of buckling down after the botched play, but didn't spare Castillo. "If you're going to be on the outfield grass, you have to charge the ball," Randolph said. "He let the ball kind of take a big hop on him, stayed back on it."

AG/DC May 22 2008 09:14 AM

Randolph, to his credit, knows a bullshit play at second when he sees it. I don't buy the buckling down thing, though. When pitchers are given no margin for error by their offense, they're goin to give up big innings trying to be perfect. Particularly young pitchers trying to establish themselves.
