His buddy was wearing an A-Rod jersey at the game. I guess that's appropriate for San Francisco.

@TomahawkFlop: @Shea Guevara: @UkraineNotWeak: I was shocked when he came in last night. I thought Bobby misplayed the bullpen last night in general. Moylan is the ground ball guy, should have brought him in instead of Mahay and we wouldn't even be worrying about Soriano.

Barry Lutz — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 10:23:57 EDT

So the guy was wearing a Mets jersey OVER a Mets tee shirt (to a game in which the Mets weren't even playing)? Was he worried that people might not get the message that he was a Mets fan? Where was his Mets hat? His Mets face paint?

I kept thinking I'd wake up today and find out that I'd imagined the whole thing.

Me too, my friend, me too.

And I was offered tix to go to today's game but I've declined, because going would mean having to go with my sister. Who thinks "game time" is the fourth inning. No, thanks.

@Afino: I thought about that last night also. Can you DFA someone who BAA is sub .200. Fuck yes, if he's given up 9 HR in 13 outings all of which have seemed to blow a lead.
@Matt_T: I agree with Da Mang here, his fastball was consistently 95-96 early on and now he's topping out at 92-93. Combine that with no movement on the heat, and a floating slider results in lots of bye bye baseballs.

By the way, I was chatting on AIM with a Mets fan during the game.

Andruw comes up with bases loaded, one out, and I tell him, "6-4-3, game over."

Was off only slightly on that.

during big home run scrambles, mischievous fans are known to toss other balls into the area to watch the resulting chaos.

This is almost enough to make into a baseball fan.

@Shea Guevara: Ha! It's good to know other team's fans are as pessimistic about bases loaded opportunities.

I knew the only shot for the Braves to get a run home would be either for Francoeur to do it, or for Cox to pinch hit Diaz for Andruw...because Andruw IS going to ground into a double play.

It's like he misses Javy Lopez, so he must do Javy's favorite thing...

In a game between the Mets and Braves, a team loaded the bases with nobody out and didn't score a single run. And somehow, that team wasn't the Mets.
