Dolphin Face returns. Wondering if his kids are still getting that great suburban-Denver education he always wanted for them. Petey gets the nod for the good guys.

Sweep these bitches.

If there is no "LOOSER" sign at the game tonight I will be disappointed.

I know Wright was the Mets sandwich pick for Hampton's departure, but does anyone happen to know if Heilman was taken with the Rockies pick or with our own?

Also, with this pitching matchup, the trainers better be on their toes.

- Heilman (#18) was taken with the Rockies' pick.
- We forfeited our own (#26) to Oakland for inking Kenin Appier which they used to draft Jeremy Bonderman
- Oakland's supplemental pick for Appier (#37 overall - LHP John Rheinecker) turned out to be right before the one we used to pluck Wright.
P.S. Yanx had the supplemental pick 4 picks before ours choosing OFer Bronson Sardinha (whew!)

Note: of the 37 players selected before David Wright in that 2001 draft, only Joe Mauer (#1) and Mark Texiera (#5) have achieved similar levels of success in the majors.

Valad was here, I saw him up top. It just struck me that it has to be like
8 or 9 hours later there.

That came on the random shuffle on my mp3 player the other day and I laughed out loud. I hadn't heard it outside of that commercial in a long time.

That's a really enjoyable album, by the way.

Could you imagine a Wright-Jeter left side of the Yankee infield? I would hork my intestines out.

Meanwhile, the happy-not-to-be-a-Yankee Mr. Wright just hit a double with one out.

Way to change the game Runge. It should be Endy on 1st running for Castro and 1 out instead of 2 out, bases empty.

Wright is on second , Delgado needs a hit , he lines out to Infante who seems to lose the ball in the lights or slip and the ball clangs of his glove....

You gotta love: everybody on the top step; the rally caps; the jubilation after the win; Delgado running across the field to hug somebody; the fist pumping and hugging en route to the clubhouse. Wow.

I thought this game really started off kind of sad with two pitchers far removed from their best days scuffling against two offenses also doing their share of struggling.

But it really turned out to be a compelling game, and both starters acquitted themselves respectably.

The O still worries me some but its great to see the Mets not cheating themselves defensively and winning the kinda games that turn on better execution overall. That's something we didn't do enough of last year or early this one.

Well-meaning guys next to me littered my limited foot space with peanut shells. Absolute morons behind me moistened the bag under my seat with beer. Plus every other word out of their moron mouths was fucking, which in itself isn't a problem but from them it was quite grating -- also every third story they told concerned them being "so drunk, bro" or being thrown out of Shea. And when I went to check my fancy new handheld device, the battery had completely run down, which I found curious since I had recharged it earlier in the day and had barely used it since.

Then Delgado did his thing and it was like the greatest night ever.

Went to the game last night. Had a fucking blast man. Me and my homes got so wasted it was like we didn't even fucking know where we were. Everything was cool except this one dork sitting in front of us shooting us dirty looks. Fuck him man. Switched the battery out on his Blackberry when he wasn't looking. Hahaha. Fucking geek.

Threw up after 4. Homes and I were thrown out after 6.

Who won?
