Tough loss, they just cannot win when Lima pitches. He just isn't good enough. This has to be his last start. Despite Bannister's injury, they need to find someone else. Mets have lost 7 of the last 10. Finish the road trip 3-6 losing each series 2 games to 1. And now the Yankees come into Shea. Expect a full report from me, I'll be at tomorrow's game.

Home run Jose Valentin. Big fuckin deal. This game sucks. Marquis looked good even though he threw a lot of pitches and got behind a lot of hitters. - 3:40 PM

Evidently there is a barber shop in the Cardinals new stadium. Chris Cotter was in the barber's chair wearing a smock, readying himself for a haircut. Sitting next to him, Don King. I kid you not.
"thank you August Busch for this great stadium. We love you St Louis. Only in America, the gateway arch, the great wings of glory."
They threw it back to Gary and Ron and you could still hear Don King yelling. - 2:29 PM

Big homer for Beltran. At least gives them a fighting chance to come back in this game. - 2:25 PM

Lima is complaining that the umpire is squeezing him. He carried on when he left the mound after the second. Somehow that led to Jerry Manuel getting into it with the home plate umpire, leading to his ejection.
Gary Cohen hates Jose Lima. "It might be midnight for Lima time." "The time has come to try somebody else."
Among active pitchers, Steve Trachsel has the most 1-0 losses (7) and Tom Glavine is second with 6. Walter Johnson was 38-24 in 1-0 games in his career. - 2:12 PM

Lima got a ground ball to get out of the inning then made a horrible play on the throw from Delgado allowing another run to score, 4-0.
Didn't Aaron Miles play point guard for Kansas?
I really like David Eckstein. He didn't even take a half swing but got the ball into right field to score a run.
Gary and Ron speculated as to whether Staten Island is more populated with Mets fans or Yankees fans. Gary said like New Jersey it probably has more Yankees fans.
The Jewish kid from Staten Island is pitching pretty well.
Gay said "Ramon Castro makes people smile." - 2:02 PM

Stupid Beltran cost the Mets another run. He threw way over the cutoff man when he had no chance at Eckstein at home. That allowed Rolen to go to second and later score on a single. Fundamentals. That's what breaks down when you're losing. - 1:35 PM

I didn't even have time to make the first post and already the Mets are losing 1-0. That can only mean one thing. It's LIMA TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
Pooh Holes is not playing. - 1:28 PM
Get used to Lima Time... Bannister had to leave his minor league rehab start after two hitters because of an injury.
