what a [censored] joke, the pitcher

[wh1t3bread]

Well now that they gave up the lead I guess it's time for them all to give up and stop trying. Game over.

[Suigin406]

no wai, reyes on base??

[Suigin406]

good job there pelfrey

[Needle77]

Did Castillo have any chance at the guy at 1st? Odd that he would go home there.

[Suigin406]

aiy pelf, keep getting nibbled at

[Suigin406]

yea, needle i was wondering the same thing needle, i guess not

[Needle77]

Alou is just scorching right now. Hopefully that injury he has doesn't hurt him that much and he keeps this up. Just drive him home please.

BTW, let Pelfrey get nibbled at for now, I want him to get into the 7th at least. I really don't want to see that bullpen at all tonight.

Is it possible that when they get a run they could not give it right back?

Walk the leadoff man. Brilliant. And then an error. More brilliant.

Lovable Prankster Pedro Martinez Admits He Was Never Really Hurt

NEW YORK—Following another impressive start Monday, enigmatic but lovable Mets clubhouse joker Pedro Martinez informed reporters that he was "just kidding" about his arm injury, rotator-cuff surgery, and yearlong stint on the DL, playfully shrugging his shoulders and grinning in a fashion Mets officials are calling "vintage Pedro." "Boy, are our faces red," said Mets GM Omar Minaya, chuckling and shaking his head at the stunt, perhaps Martinez's craziest to date and one which has cost the team an estimated $16 million. "I can't believe we fell for the old 'torn rotator cuff' gag. Oh, Pedro. What will he think of next?" Mets manager Willie Randolph is planning to play a retaliatory prank on Martinez, which involves leaving him in past the sixth inning of a crucial playoff game.
