Trot's caught both fly balls hit to him so far.
Start punching those All-Star ballots.

Nice athleticism, Carlos D.

Is Keith on the payroll anymore?

How is that a hit?

See that Carlos? The other first baseman doesn't mind his uni getting dirty.

Beltran hasn't quit.

I'm sorry. Did Delgado just come to the plate to the tune of "Take Me Home Tonight"?

I'm sorry. Did Delgado just knock one off the scoreboard?

Viva Eddie Money!

Nix joins the hit column.

Welcome back, Trotter.

Texas DFAd Robinson Tejada who shutout the Mets for 2 innings on Friday. One of the writers said that the Mets are interested in him.

What a bullpen! I guess this is Willie's fault or Peterson's fault. Willie made the right moves.

Feliciano's gotta have really crappy inherited runners-scored numbers.

If we were playing "Gimme a Ranger who..." and the category were "fills in as host of 'All Things Considered' on NPR," I would have said Ian Kinsler.

Gimme a Ranger with over-the-picnic power? I'd still say Jeff Burroughs.

Keith Olbermann in the house!

Those fuckin' tack-on runs that the pen allowed are the difference between us being on the verge of tying it and this rally being only midly interesting.

Good call -- he never had it.

Damn it! Never make the final out of an inning at home!

OE: Spoof of the baseball-ism about not making the last out at IIRC 3rd, or something to that effect about cutting short a rally because you got caught taking an extra base.

I don't care if they fire Willie or not, but for chrissakes, we must fire Sandy Alomar Sr. NOW!!!!

Mutha-Fucka!

There's the guy to fire. Sandy Alomar, Jr. becomes the first person in baseball history to remove a "countdown" number and be fired in the same day. IDIOT!

Come on Trot, pretend Wilson is Mariano Rivera!

Cancel is still on the roster? Anyone confirm if he is wearing #4?

SteveJRogers
Jun 15 2008 02:30 PM

Come on Ramon, pretend Wilson is Billy Wagner!

Confirmed.

Another terrible game. Score doesn't tell the story; that the Rangers let us back into the game is an afterthought.

Frustrating game. Tailgating with and sitting with Kase were fun, but the game itself was a bile-churning fiasco.

As Felix Unger would say, "Feh!"

Nice to spend some time with the Diamond Knights today!

That parking lot to the right of the subway stairs is a great place. We should
have a couple of Sunday CPF mini-meetings there when it lines up right and
maybe a big BASH on the last regular day at Shea.

(just thinking out loud, not offering to camp counselor)

Thinking out loud, but a good pre, or post game plan could be heading over to the Holiday Inn's bar for a meal as well (assuming they don't tow everyone out of the Shea parking lot after a certain time)

Pregame tailgating on a Sunday works for us.

Postgame doesn't - we have too long a drive back home to stick around after the game's over.
