5-1 Mets in the 2nd inning, Alou is back and has already driven in two. The Mets are battering Valadius' favorite pitcher.

I always get the feeling that the booth guys are intimidated by Seaver and in awe of him.


Tom looks great.

they should be in awe of him.

Alou is amazing. He hasn't played for 2 weeks, didn't have a rehab game, and he swings at the first pitch to drive in 2.

And then swung at the first pitch he saw in his 2nd AB and hit another one right on the screws (line out to SS)

Couple good signs so far:
- Castillo on base 3 times
- Delgado hustling into 2nd base, setting up a run w/2 outs
- all 2-out RBIs

Not so good:
- Maine's pitch count
- Reyes's CS ruins what could have been an even better 1st inning

Is that Moises Alou? Is he on this team?

Schneid makes a big 2nd out here in the 5th.

Tonight's game reminded me I traded Maine and Anderson Hernandez for Orlando Hudson, Miguel Montero and minor league lefty Craig Pfautz this offseason.

Grumble Castillo.......

I got a bad feeling about this. I'd say the pen needs to come through to prove redemption, but the bats are equally needy.

John Cougar Lunchbucket
Jun 10 2008 07:39 PM

Eh, Castillo is having a fine game. You want him to hit it hard on the ground, that'll happen. I mean, it happens too oftren, but it happens.

I am certain the Mets are afraid it would be an affront to Reyes to bat Castillo first but it would be a good move I think.

I'm assuming this is a rain delay?

Hmmmm. Tie game. If this doesn't resume tonight, do they restart the game from this point on?

Yes and yes.

Damn this IGT started out really well with the Mets jumping out to a quick 5-1 lead, but it was all down hill from there. It's tied at 5 and the Mets have had only one weak hit since the second inning.

Nah. It's nowhere near that dramatic. It's just another Mets summer, like those summers of yore.

Easley on with a single. A rally here would be good.

Never hang a slider to Chris Snyder.

Chalk up another 0 for 2 (Chavez, Marlon) with RISP. Mongo sad.

That's it for me. I will keep watching but I've lost my will to IGT snide comments.

Met history is littered with too many of these summers.

I don't know what to say anymore. Phillies lost and we had a chance to gain a game, and they puke one out like this.

I'm drifting back into the fire Willie crowd if only because it shows they're doing something to shake things up.

You know, it does say a lot for the franchise when Craig is the 128th greatest Met in the Cranepool Forum's rankings.

Very similar in that the bullpen seems at sea.

Another game, another disappointing defeat. Truthfully, they are becoming less disappointing and more expected with each passing day.

I know the label's already been applied to other games but this one is the worst loss of the year.

It is like September in that everything that can go wrong is, and the relievers seemingly take turns deciding who's going to suck that game.
The last 5 losses have all involved late runs (including 6 HRs) surrendered by Feliciano, Smith, Schoeneweis, Vargas, Wagner and Sanchez.
(everyone except Heilman btw)
