    At least they are on the road. It is raining like crazy in New York right now.

    Drinking game idea: Take a drink every time the cameras catch a glimpse of Yunel Escobar's frosted tips.

    I think Jeff Francoeur attended the Hunter Pence school for Wide-Eyed Childlike Enthusiasm.

    Kevin Burhardt is just like Suzyn Waldman, only prettier…

    My drinking game is simple… I follow the Mets therefore I drink.

    Haha. Good point.

    Troy Glaus 2-run HR. Drink!

    Joe I do love the new 'chat' format! It is the latter innings that put my 'game' in a downward spiral.. Or Ollie on the mound. Take your pick as to the reasons for the least productive workdays of the week due to what I call at work "homestress"

    David Wright strikes out. Again… Turn, turn, turn…

    Ike Davis looked positively Glaussian on that HR… Braves lead 2-1.

    Gary Cohen gets his Francoeur HR in Atlantta… I think his voice cracked. Sounded like Peter Brady on that call.

    Hey KDAD – Joe is out of the country for a few days, but I'm sure he'll be glad you like the new chat format.

    We are trying to foster a strong in-game chat community – similar to what you might see over at McCovey Chronicles (SF Giants blog) or Gaslamp Ball (Padres blog).

    How much you wanna bet Johan gives back one of those runs?
  14. @planethardball May 19, 2010 at 12:35 am
    Apparently, the Mets AAA team is the "Bi-zens."
  15. @planethardball May 19, 2010 at 12:51 am
    I think Santana is settled in…

    Wright K's again at the hands of Cy Medlen.

    Mets really needed these two good back to back starts by Pelfrey and Santana. Hopefully the bats will get going here.
  17. @planethardball May 19, 2010 at 1:31 am
    Agree 100%, Kerel. These are must win games, especially with the next week of games against the Yanks/Phils.
  18. @planethardball May 19, 2010 at 1:38 am
    I'm beginning to think David Wright has the yips… but for strikeouts.
  19. Kerel Cooper May 19, 2010 at 2:27 am
    Wright needs a day off (maybe two)
