AGGH! Nice shot of TLR's hathead.

Sheesh. The current Mets lineup is like a pre-trades, Ludwick-in-a-slump Cardinals lineup, only Wright is nowhere as good as Pujols.

[JackofDiamonds]

They should have pitched to Wright.

I respectfully disagree.

I disrespectfully agree.

I'm not saying give him meat pitches, but at least tempt him to swing. They were ahead on Wright in the count. Let Berroa lead off the 10th.

I was disrespectfully agreeing with you. Throw it to Wright.

Would've liked to see Tevor Miller against the lefty bat here.

Tevor the Barbarian?

Are you picking on my dyslectic fingers?

[JackofDiamonds]

When was the last time Molina took a full swing?

[st.lewis11]

Miller vs the lefty would have been a good thing, but that would have defeated the purpose of the double switch.

Now that we've survived the bottom of the 9th, we bat in the 10th without having to pinch-hit for the pitchers' spot (due up fourth this inning) - that's also important given Ryan's unavailability, as we're down to LaRue and Thurston on the bench.

I stand corrected; good point jmo.

one batter? that's poor managing by Jerry Manuel IMO

[Ace]

When was the last time Molina took a full swing?

He takes a full swing every other Thursday, you must keep missing them.

Gorfenstien is here.....

what a horrible horrible throw that was
