Tuesday, May 11: John Means and O's visit Citi Field for the first of two games

[SteveA]

Wow a double pinch hit move like the olden days.  You don't see thatmuch anymore.

We have a 5 man bench because only 4 starters up and no DH.

Horrible strategy there. You have to know they walk Pedro and you would have to take Means out. I would just have let Rio and Pedro swing away.

Why? Ruiz stinks and they got a guy to 3rd with one out.

"Well Terry... Terry Crowley's lucky he's in [expletive deleted] baseball ferchrissake! He was released by the Cinncinnata Reds. He was released by the [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted] Atlanta Braves. We saw that Terry Crowley could sit on his [expletive deleted] ass for 8 innings and enjoy watchin' a baseball game just like any other fan and has the ability to get up there and break one open in the [expletive deleted] 9th! So if this [expletive deleted] guy would mind his own business and let me manage the [expletive deleted] team we'd be a lot better off!"

That's what I was trying to say.

Come on Cedric, keep owning lefties!

I was actually fine with it. Normally I hate bunting but it's not like Rio was going to get a hit.

Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I can't even quote the Alice Sweet stuff here. Game thread is relaxed... but not THAT relaxed!

He might have been planning on taking Means out anyway.  He said he was going to baby him after his all time high pitch count and inning total last time, and Means did labor a bit last inning.

In that case Hyde is lucky NL rules bailed him out.

[spiritof66]

Stroman really pissed he was taken out.

Mets' TV announcers (who are excellent) say "Freddie Gal-vees"

Yeah you cant quote that stuff.  It still is over the top.  Earl really told it that day.

[scOtt]

One run is KING here!

Our Pen has been very good. Not sure about NY's but they are in 1st place...

 

 

One run is HUGE!!!
