Fred Hornkohl

Carlos Lee rips a double to left, and Brian Wilson replaces Howry on the mound.

.... and Hunter Pence just rocked Howry for a 2 run homer. 10-6 now.

That was 3 innings ago.

St. Louis 0 NY Mets 9 F San Francisco 10 Houston 4 9 Arizona 0 Pittsburgh 0 6:05 Milwaukee 0 LA Dodgers 0 9:10 Howry in to pitch the 9th for the Giants. Will he hold that lead ????

Miles up, Stevens down. Tim just posted in Transactions. I'd rather keep Stevens [/sigh]

Has Miles been added to the roster ?? I didn't hear anything to that effect.

SEXY! It sure does seem like hes getting to 3 ball counts in just about every at bat since being moved to the leadoff spot, which I guess the 4.39 p/pa shows. What's really sexy is that rbi%..... 0.367 when the team average is 0.169 and the next highest rate on the team is A Ramirez at 0.250 !!!

Swing away, boys! Except for you, Hill. ....or, as one buzzard said to the other, "Patience my ass, I'm gonna kill somethng" !!!

There is nothing in this world or the next that could make me feel bad for the Mets or their fans. You sound like Santo. Still pissed about 1969 Fred? I never miss the reruns of the movie Fail Safe on TV..... just so I can see New York get nuked !!! eta: for the record, Santo sounds like me !!

CUBS are 21-14 when they average 3.7 P/PA or less.... 36-34 when they don't Go CUBS !!

There is nothing in this world or the next that could make me feel bad for the Mets or their fans.

Yeah right. They just put up 7 in 9 innings against Johan Santana and K Rod. We are going to have to win to keep pace. That really pissed me off last night. They have to be due for a cold stretch. Tony LaRussa sold his soul to Satan. That's the only explanation. That's just flat out ignorant, erik. Tony LaRussa IS Satan.
