Lets go Mets! Sweep these chumps! We need to get on a roll and you cant ask for a better(worse) team then the Nats to help us with that.
brady clark was dfa. gustavo molina activated.
ollie needs to dominate tonight against the lowly nats. let’s get 8 innings out of him tonight
They need to take these type of series if they want to win the division.
And if Clark is DFA then Alou must be very close.
Is there a more repulsive TV personality than Adam Schein? Seriously? I just want to deck the guy
i hate the way his head moves when he talks. carlin is a piggy too.
anybody watching sny? what’s with duaner’s eyebrows?
dude…i think he grooms them. my wifes eyebrows look just like that when she comes back from the salon
I get mine done every couple of weeks and they never look that good!
mine too… it’s scary after they are waxed. wasnt there a seinfeld episode where uncle leo had his brows waxed and looked really pissed off as a result ? ollie’s photo makes it look like he is a prime candidate for an eyebrow job ….
thats probably why he wears the goggles…he must protect the eyebrows
nice start boys
the pitch to castillo was dirty but past that you cant say Reyes and Wright had real good at bats
Reyes smoked the ball though…that thing’s 2 feet to the right and he has a single
Dude, you got me all excited. I’m still at work so i zipped over to mlb.com to see the score, bummer!
my bad dude…the good news is we have the first guiseppe franco sighting!
Glad to hear it, now back to the looney bin for you!
lol…on my way
Glad to see the bats decided to wake up for the big bad shawn hill.
Well… Ollie’s got his work cut out for him tonight, if he gives up more than 2 runs, this one is over.
pacman! congrats on big d…don’t go shootin anybody
that reminds me: I was at the game last night and there was this kid wearing a Mets hat and a Romo jersey, and the Nats/Skins fans were giving him a hard time. Can’t say I could bring myself to defend him, being a Giants fan and all…
I won’t, didn’t you hear what I told Michael? I got the pole in my crib now! I can make it rain from the comfort of my own home!
and if you do end up shooting her you can claim she broke in! it’s a win-win situation!
CHURCH!!!
can I just say I love Ryan Church
nice d harris…that was funny
Hey!! It wasn’t a double play! Congrats delgrampa!
yea….Delgado pretty consistently grounds out to the right side. Maybe HE should be our #2 hitter!
Church rules and mega lols @ Harris’s attempt at that ball.
Delgado
:(
I think Wallac Matthews needs to write a letter to Carlos Delgado.
Thanks Delgado… RETIRE!
