Lineup
Baker is back, that’s good. Though why is Nix in there? I’d rather see Q at one of the infield positions. Oh well. At least we don’t have both Nix and Koshansky.

Well
I’ll be here for most of the game thread, though my participation will be sporadic due to a certain bonus weekend on a particular video game which I am frequenting while watching the Rox game. In short, you won’t have to deal with me too much tonight =p

Ollie gets
the Rockies to go down 1-2-3. Your turn to do that to the Mets, Cook.

Chris didn't
want to swing at it, but the ball was just in the wrong place.

Looks like a pitchers duel tonight
Both these guys have the potential to be dominant and both appear to have their best stuff tonight

Well, if it isn't
my favorite baseball player . . . Damion Easley.

Wide gap
between CF and RF gave Delgado the double. Anyone else notice that his slide came up short?

All right! Out of the inning!
Now time for the bats to come alive these next few innings. Despite Perez being a lefty, I predict and hope Hawpe will come out of his slump at least somewhat tonight.

Gotta be optimistic...
I think we will get Perez the second time through, though like Tulo2 said. I know Atty has a homer against him.

Atkins is
leading the league in BA off lefties. He’ll come through.

Hurdle
OMG Hurdle called for a slug bunt did not know he knew what that was

Swinging with 1 strike and bunting with 2
very illogical but it worked this time
by rockiesrock on Jul 11, 2008 5:49 PM MDT 0 recs
naturally, two inches from catching a ball and ending the inning, turns into a double cause we cant hang on to the baseball

Barmes seemed cautious of the knee...
particularly since his injury involved Reyes. At least we have 2 outs, just get out of the inning Cookie!

Cook
winning the battle of pitch counts so far, 46-53. Now, let’s widen that lead and hopefully get him some runs!

Until
it’s followed by a fly out and a DP.

Should have
used holliday to bunt him over. Small ball is the way to go.

Easley's hit goes for naught.

Cook's MO:
Get two outs, give up hit, get third out.
Whatever works for you, Aaron. Too bad the offense is even worse than usual tonight.

Are we going to see the First NO Hitter in Mets History?
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

Won't
happen until Sunday when Redman throws it.

How can a guy hit in AAA

Ask
Joe Koshansky that question. But at least Koshansky has a couple of dingers. Nix has a fat lot heaping plate of FAIL.

I have no idea
but .118 is jaw-dropping. I thought he’d at least be within binoculars-distance of respectability, but I underestimated his “slump”.

Um
Nix has zero plate discipline. And the amount of K’s we have racked up the past few games is just embarrassing.
But hey. At least we’re not being no-hit.

I did another
set of questions with that Mets blog, Take the 7 Train. I said Jayson Nix can’t hit major league pitching. Read the (few) comments.
