That was pathetic. Way to go, Jay and Kozma.

Re: 6/11 GC
One of the Mets' broadcasters said he thinks Wacha is tipping his changeup.

Re: 6/11 GC
A couple of early observations:
Methinks Wacha needs a little more time at Memphis.
Allen Craig is not a right fielder
Matt Adams throws like a girl.

Re: 6/11 GC
Ooh. Moz is joining Danny Mac in the booth. Maybe he's going to announce that he just traded Victor Marte and Miekel Cleto for Matt Harvey.

Moz couldn't get David Wright thrown into that deal?

Ah yes, we had quite a bit of fun with that a few years back. What were they all?

Re: 6/11 GC
I'm too lazy to look it up, but I wonder who the Mets pay more--the 25 guys on their current roster or Johan Santana and Jason Bay.

Re: 6/11 GC
Not very often you see a major league use 2 hands to catch and miss the ball with both.

Believe it or not, John Buck is making $6.5 million this year.

Santana is making $25.5 million. Bay gets $18 million from the Mets this year, and $3 million in 2014.

Re: 6/11 GC
Is it me, or until Craig hit that home run, did it feel like the Cardinals were trailing this game by about a half-dozen runs?

SMH. For $6.5M, the Cardinals have Kozma, Jay, Adams, Matt Carpenter, Miller, Wacha, Rosenthal, Lyons, Siegrist, Kelly and Descalso.
ETA- that's only 11. Add Robinson and Maness to the list.

Unreal. I remember when we signed Holliday a lot of people thought Bay was a better option.

Re: 6/11 GC
Wacha obviously doesn't have his best stuff, but it's encouraging to see he's hung in there. On the other hand, it's the Mets.

As an aside, the Mariners are also paying Bay $1 million this year. I know they had to sign him to some sort of a contract, but if I were Jason Bay, I'd be a little ashamed to take a red cent from another team while I'm already swiping a prince's fortune.

Chronologically, you're correct, but you're mixing two different anecdotes. The Yankees had Wang and (Randy) Johnson in the same rotation a few years ago, and that elicited the dick jokes. The La Russa references had to do with his comments about admiring So Taguchi in the clubhouse shower.

Re: 6/11 GC
Wow. If you had told me when the bases were loaded in the bottom of the first inning that Wacha would have gotten through six allowing two runs, I would have taken that bet.

I had to vacate the TV for Bob's game, so I'll be following on my phone from here on out.

All I can see is the box score, and our scoring was ugly up to that point:
Top 4th: St. Louis
- M. Adams grounded into double play second to shortstop to first, M. Holliday scored, A. Craig out at second
Top 5th: St. Louis
- M. Wacha grounded out to shortstop, J. Jay scored, P. Kozma to third
- Y. Molina grounded out to third, P. Kozma scored, M. Carpenter to second
