One of my faves. I'd find it impossible to rank this sort of thing but, yeah, it would be higher on my list as well.
In the early years, when his live shows were in smaller venues, this was his stroll through the audience song.

He's Hen-er-y the Second he is Hen-er-y the Second he is he is He was property of the Padres before but he allowed too many runs to score So then the Mets signed old Hen-er-y (Hen-er-y) Assigning him to Bingo if they can. He's the one named twice called Hen-er-y Hen-er-y times two is the man, the m...

Yeah, the name is familiar but I have no specific memories of him at all.
I was shocked to discover he pitched three seasons and made 97 starts for the Yanquis.

btw, there is a tight little grouping for the winningest Japanese pitcher when MLB & NPB wins are combined Hiroki Kuroda 203, 79 MLB (LAD & NYY)* + 124 NPB Hideo Nomo 201: 123 MLB (LAD, KCR, TBR, NYM, BOS, DET, MIL) + 78 NPB Yu Darvish 199** (TEX, SDP, CHC, LAD): 106 MLB + 93 NPB * I have ab...

Elder abuse going on in Atlanta. Braves starter Bryce Elder takes it on the chin early and it's 7-0 Padres on SNB in the 4th. Darvish dishing for the Pads. Braves/Pads got rained out Saturday, but this was already scheduled to be a 'wrap-around' series anyway so now they're going to follow a night g...

Reed had a pretty good set of teammates.

So, not this year either as I just now find out.

Don't fall in.

Now I feel better.
After all, when was the last time you saw a 4-run 9th inning lead blown?

Well that ups my confidence in a W here ... a tiny bit anyway.

Well that was a nice gift.

Now up to six straight goose eggs following the opening inning barrage.
No way any of this will come back to bite them.

I didn't think Sixto Sanchez was even going to come out for the 2nd inning much less
ggetting through the 4th and doing so basically untouched.

As I posted elsewhere, they have scored one run or fewer in 25% of this year's games. That is....not good. No, but neither is it wildly bad. The average number of games scoring 0 or 1 runs to date is 8.3 per team. Eight others are as high or higher than the Mets 11; lowest number is 3 (PHI), highes...

And nobody even gets the ball out of the infield.

Oh My!

Feel free to take away Edwin's save chance, Mark.
And that goes for the two guys behind you also.

That's too close to flip ... which doesn't mean they won't flip it.

In fairness to Garrett, his "rough outing" as Gary called it consisted of two sort hits and a fly out.

I'm having trouble keeping Reed Garrett and Sean Reid-Foley separate.
They're both so Re(ie)dy

No hits but a couple of at'em balls at 2B, an attempted steal (foul ball) and two runs scored.
Y'know, your typical slacker effort.

"Steals without a throw"
We're so used to hearing that phrase when the Mets are on defense that it's a nice switch to hear it this way for a change.

This time Bader started the AB by fishing for junk but didn't finish it that way.
Previously he swung at trash for strike 3

So here's their second bases-loaded/one-out situation of the game.
Let's see how they do with this one.

Well he's hitting about three pop-ups per day so he getting a lot of practice at waving them foul.
