Well that didn't take long for the Cubs to tie the game against the bullpen.

Lou, you are like a gray cloud on a sunny f'n day.

I swear, you keep this up, I ain't inviting you to a playoff game.

What should I say? "Hey, great job by Sanchez. He only gave up the tying runs!"

Philly's getting beat. We really need this one.

If Beltran was planning on stealing third, why didn't he do it with one out?

I don't think he was planning on it. They just forgot about him, so he took it.

Ditto.

Castro sucks. F'n Minaya should be fired just for this bum.

And the third base coach? Delgado could have walked home.

He just did.

No thanks to the third base coach!

Tough call. It looked like Delgado could have scored, but with no outs, why take the chance? You'd think they'd be able to bring him home (with no outs).

On the other hand, maybe they (the Mets) need to be more aggressive now.

BIG hit for Murphy!

Hopefully, it will turn out to be academic.

Murphy is the Rookie of the Year!

They're trying to kill me.

They cannot afford to let opportunities like that go.

They drove me to drink tonight. Heavily. I'm going to polish off a bottle of Chivas Regal.

I hear that. I'm working on my second bottle of wine myself.

I'm not even watching them tomorrow. I'm going to a pre-season hockey game.
Fuck this.

Fuck me. I'm watching TWO AND A HALF MEN.

Between the bullpen and that piece of shit Castro, I can't take any more tonight.

Why even go to the post-season? They can't hit in the clutch, and the bullpen is a complete joke.

I'm putting the Super Bowl on. At least I know that has a happy ending.

We'll loan you our bullpen here in Toronto.

They might as well use their entire AAA bullpen. They can't be as bad as the guys on the Major League roster.

That 10th inning was painful to watch.

Like I said earlier, why go to the playoffs if you can't beat last place teams, and teams resting some of their regulars because the game means nothing to them?

Yeah, that's a shame.

Watch. The Mets now will probably go out in the off season and give Francisco Rodriguez a gazillion dollars, but they'll keep the rest of the garbage in the bullpen.

Not cool, Counselor.

We're still only a game out in the loss column, but unfortunately down to a tie in the wild card.

Speaking of which, I'd like to know what you and pizzaboy thought of the extension to Omar Minaya. I was kind of surprised that it was for 4 years, and the timing of it was interesting.

The Mets have used a lot of pitchers in the past several days and they, like the Brewers, don't have a day off through the regular season. The Brewers are in more trouble, I think, because of the state of their starting pitching and Sheets. I don't know how deep Sabathia went into the game tonight, but they are going to have to start him Sunday, if necessary.

I've had it with Omar, Klyd. I hope this doesn't come off as racist, because God knows I'm liberal minded, but I'm just tired of him signing these over the hill Latino ballplayers. It's almost like he scouts the AARP in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
