If we can’t beat Aaron Sele, who can we beat? Hopefully Brett Tomko. It’s like the Ex-Mariners Club over there.

I hope today goes better than the past two days!
Need another big outing from Huddy tonight. He seems to have come up with some big efforts this year after some tough losses (NYM, Arizona). Need it again tonight.
Tomko has had 2 really bad outings (vs. LAA & WAS) after 6 pretty good ones in a row. It would be nice to give Hudson some room to work tonight. He’s been amazing in these pitchers duels, but he can’t win every game 2-1.
What, no reverse jinx today?
Lineups announced, no surprises. Pratt is catching.
Andruw!
Andruw 2 run shot. Game over! Early run support with the way Hudson has been pitching? GG L.A.!
As long as Tim Hudson throws a complete game, we’ll be fine.
So – what’s the magic number of runs we would need to be ahead (and in what inning) for everyone to feel comfortable?
I’d say – up 3 in the 9th, up 5 in the 8th or beforehand and I’d be okay.
I thought I’d take a moment to say how much I dislike Roger Clemens. $22 million? No wonder some folks find sports to be… ‘confusing.’
How many runs did the Braves need on opening day – when Hudson pitched against the Dodgers? I feel that a 5 or 6 run lead in the 8th evaporated…
I think at least 10 anytime we go into the pen! LMAO
Adam — that’s if it were over the entire season. As-is, he’s only getting just over $12 million for the balance of the season. Not that it’s still not a lot of money, but it’s not $22m.
Got it. I just glanced at the headline, to be honest.
I just noticed that Mac’s “Favourite sites” on the left is spelled with a “u”, Brit style. Is that new?
As in Birmingham, England…
SPEL IT FAVRIT LIEK A MAN!
Actually it’s the default and I hadn’t noticed it before.
That would be funnier if there was a “Tuscaloosa, England”.
Why is there a “u”?
It’s favorite.
But that’s just me.
Got you, Mac.
I can not stand torborg…. he has been talking about furcal leading off , hudson throwing over, for 39 mins… wow
As much as I still hate Rathbun, Torborg doesn’t suck in the booth.
Off topic: Does anyone else think it’s a shame that McCann is not in the top 5 in all-star voting for NL catchers? I mean, I know he has been hurt and out of the spotlight recently, but I just think the kid deserves the recognition. Although, if he doesn’t get voted on, I would have to think he would be a shoe-in as a player/manager selection.
Boom!!! Chipper!!!
Not a big fan of all-star voting, so I kinda don’t care.
But more importantly: CHIPPAH!
That was a thing of beauty. How I’ve missed that swing.
I agree he definitely deserves it
and if anyone cares Salty is 2-2 tonight… he’d been HORRIBLE yet again lately but he’s done well tonight… started the game batting under .200 but has gotten it up to .207 right now
Well I voted my 25x for McCann, how about everyone else?
Man.. Pratt almost got that one out!
What a catch. Gotta give Lofton some credit there.
A balk?
I voted 75 times… lol… and I pick up several ballots each time I go see the MS Bravos
well, you don’t see too many runs balked home. but it happens.
that was a great catch! …how was that a balk again? not that I’m against the call! ha
EVNE I DONT GIV UP 5RUNS IN 1 INING! MUCH11!!!!!
Dbacks are scoreless w the Mets going into the 8th (c’mon Brandon Webb!).
I still remember (without looking it up) those five runs Kolb gave up in extra innings to the Reds in early September. I thought he may have cost us the division then.
Webb is doing his job.
More like “come on Diamondbacks’ offense.”
AWESOME play by Marcus!
Just got home..turn me on that there tv..wow…7-1. Bases loaded..should really break it open here
This pedro martinez guy is a pretty good player.
Torborg just stated the obvious..that the Dogers have the best offense in the N.L. West. That’s insight folks
I noticed the “favourite” thing this morning, and was going to comment on it then didn’t. I figured it had to be default.
This ought to be enough breathing room for our bullpen. “Ought” is the key word there.
Mets & Az going to extras scoreless. Brandon Lyon just struck out Beltran, Delgado & Wright to finish the 9th.
Pedro went 8, Webb 7.
Wagner going his second inning now.
Shawn Green just made one of the dumbest baserunning goofs ever…
Guess we’ll be seeing the dregs of the ‘pen tonight. Reitsma anyone?
What did Green do?
Top 10th, one out, tie game, Green steals second. The very next pitch gets hit to Reyes at shortstop about 10 feet in front of him. He gets caught off second & Reyes tosses to second & he’s tagged out. End of rally.
NYM & Az go to the 11th…
Does anyone else want to vomit when they see the AL all-star ballot totals? I really hope something changes. Otherwise, it’s going to be the YankSox v. the National League in the All Star game.
The all-star game is a popularity contest, just like high school. And just like high school, it’s not really indicative of what’s important.
The Vulture has arrived. Think he can find a way to give up seven runs?
Ah..4 pitch walk by Oscar…right on cue..
LMAO! Why is it in a 9-3 game Bobby will make the pitching change but in a 1 or 2 run game he will leave him in there?
I’m beginning to think Bobby is trying to show JS that he has no one to count on in the bullpen.
Mets/DBacks go to the 12th…
I’m not sure what about Rathbun annoys me. Maybe it’s that he always sounds so phony, and his enthusiasm seems so forced. Maybe it’s something about his voice I don’t quite have the words to express. I just wish he’d stop talking.
I kinda miss Paciorek
i would rather stick forks in my eyes than listen to paciorek.
I think Ken Ray is now our official closer.
that was pretty damned good pitching there to saenz
Just goes to show how pathetic my existence is..
davey, are you from hokes bluff?
Torborg: “That’s a good story.” (referring to own story)
Among all the stories we’ve heard, Jeff, that was the most … recent.
Thanks for not wasting time, Ken.
ray is officially the closer in my book. i just hope my book matches bobby’s
Another good effort from Hudson when we were on the ropes. Like legendary Georgia footballer Theron Sapp, Hudson’s our droughtbreaker.
This NYM-Az game is getting weird. Jorge Julio just got the Mets out in order in the bottom of the 12th.
Top 13 now…
I’ve been hoping for Ray as closer for the past month so it’s nice to see him getting the opportunity.
Is Carlos Beltran hurt? Why did he come out of the game?
these mets walkoffs are WAY OLD!
Beltran fouled a ball of his knee in extra innings. He lay on the ground forever, getting looked at by the trainer, flexing, etc. Finally, he finished the at-bat, struck out & was replaced in the field.
No Ryan..i’m not from hokes bluff..
