Welcome Back!!!

Who do you think is off the roster when Castillo is activated? Evans--probably out of the question; A. Reyes--logical, but he provides a lot of energy and J. Reyes is his buddy; Stokes--could be, and keep your fingers crossed that they don't need a long man until September 1; Easley to the DL--he has some aches and pains so they could say "rest up for the stretch."

TransMonk Aug 22 2008 05:15 PM

I would begrudgingly send A-Rey down. He'll be back on the 1st.

Nymr83 Aug 22 2008 05:17 PM

send Argenis down.

bmfc1 Aug 22 2008 05:23 PM

It only took half an inning for Jeter to show up. See you in the 8th.

TransMonk Aug 22 2008 05:33 PM

Single, sac, bloop for the Mets net a run in the first. Oswalt handled the 2 Carloses, though.

bmfc1 Aug 22 2008 05:34 PM

And now it's time for Andy Palaez. It's not as much fun watching Guiseppe w/o my sons.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 22 2008 05:45 PM

Maybe they'll DL Sanchez to make room. Someone said it might be a pitcher, though I'd hate to get caught short with that group. Are they waiting until Sept. 1 for Al Reyes?

Nymr83 Aug 22 2008 05:49 PM

an infield hit for Church, and Schneider smacks one out of the yard!

batmagadanleadoff Aug 22 2008 05:49 PM

Is this the 3rd Hr Schneider hit since last week, when I wrote that he sucked? Schneider still sucks. But nice shot.

TransMonk Aug 22 2008 05:49 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 22 2008 05:50 PM

Hey, look at the bottom of our lineup! Schneider KABOOMs Church home. 3-0 Good guys.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 22 2008 05:49 PM

That gives Wright 99 RBI -- just five behind the league leader. Didn't realize he was so close.

TheOldMole Aug 22 2008 05:49 PM

metsguyinmichigan Aug 22 2008 05:51 PM

Schneider been taking some of Tejada's B-12 shots? Not complaining, mind you...

TransMonk Aug 22 2008 06:04 PM

Lotta pitches for Johan through 3. I'd like to see some more runs scored, please.

bmfc1 Aug 22 2008 06:06 PM

2 run homer for Howard. 2-1 PHI.

TransMonk Aug 22 2008 06:30 PM

Santana working some magic getting out of some big jams with no runs scored. Hey O, more runs, please!

metsguyinmichigan Aug 22 2008 06:43 PM

A stinking 10-pitch AB from Pence and he gets on with an infield single. Johan at 100 pitches already, I bet we don't see him next inning.

KC Aug 22 2008 06:49 PM

According to the booth, that's 15 straight scoreless innings by Santana.

Nymr83 Aug 22 2008 06:50 PM

Santana 6 shutout innings, 104 pitches, 7 hits (2 doubles), 1 walk, 4 strikeouts. I'm inclined to send him back out there for one more inning but this is a time where i'm not too annoyed if his night ends.

bmfc1 Aug 22 2008 06:53 PM

Dear Greg Maddux, Tonight was the first time EVER that we wanted you to pitch well. EVER is a long time for you. So a big thanks for SUCKING tonight. Signed, Mets Fans

KC Aug 22 2008 06:58 PM

Anyone know why the LA/PHI game wasn't on MLB Extra Innings?

Nymr83 Aug 22 2008 06:59 PM

I like that Santana gets to face Tejada here

Nymr83 Aug 22 2008 07:01 PM

Santana gets out of it, 7 shutout innings for him looking for a much deserved win.

TransMonk Aug 22 2008 07:02 PM

San-fucking-tastic! Let's score more runs.

17 in a row for Oswalt. This one now goes to the pen.

TransMonk Aug 22 2008 07:17 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 22 2008 07:17 PM

1-2-3 for Heilman in the eighth!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 22 2008 07:17 PM

Heilman with a nice 8th. I'll send him out again in the 9th. Would you?

TransMonk Aug 22 2008 07:18 PM

I would.

AG/DC Aug 22 2008 07:19 PM

Why not? I'd have two guys warming, but yeah, two inning save is the way it oughta be.

AG/DC Aug 22 2008 07:20 PM

Heilman is back under the Komiyama line. Man, hits just don't keep comiing tonight.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 22 2008 07:24 PM

Gotta like the way The Schneid's been swinging it. He was all over that first pitch from Oswalt a couple of times tonight. And Reyes really ripped that one into bad luck.

AG/DC Aug 22 2008 07:24 PM

Mr. Oswalt without the swastika tatoo is looking at a rare complete game loss.

TransMonk Aug 22 2008 07:25 PM

I can live with our offense laying an egg for 6 innings against Oswalt...especially if they lead the game. It's when they make RA Dickey look like Cy Young that I get upset.

AG/DC Aug 22 2008 07:25 PM

Not liking this move. There's something to be said for getting Heilman out of there on a positive --- especially at Shea --- but I'm not liking it.

KC Aug 22 2008 07:29 PM

Yay, that's all I got.

TransMonk Aug 22 2008 07:30 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 22 2008 07:30 PM

Ayala, youala, we allala...and the Mets win the ballgame! Luis says "FU AG" as he 1-2-3s for the save.

metirish Aug 22 2008 07:30 PM

Gotta love how Ayala is all pumped to be in a race , great game tonight.

Rockin' Doc Aug 22 2008 07:30 PM

Ayala comes through with a 1-2-3 ninth inning to seal the victory. Winning is fun.

themetfairy Aug 22 2008 07:31 PM

Nice!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 22 2008 07:33 PM

Relief pitching: Is there anything more unpredictable?

bmfc1 Aug 22 2008 07:37 PM

HOORAY! The 3 ex-Nats contribute to a great win.
