Nationals @ Mets, Game 1

[mitlen]

Get some.    Save the GDT.

[tomterp]

I'll have Tommy John for three please

Too bad, he's been a fine pitcher for much of his career though he never found it this year. 

[mitlen]

Howie's a pro.

[welch]

That crowd doesn't look as good as some have mentioned.     welch should have his pick of seats tomorrow.

I'm hoping.

Mets broadcasters did the game from just below "Shea Bridge" out in right center. Not a lot of focus on the game.

Terry Collins overmanaging this inning makes me really want Robles to get a hit here.

[mitlen]

Should have traded the bum for a reliever.     

[Mathguy]

How did he overmanage ?  It's the end of the year for the Mets.  Why not use everybody ?

JH sounds a little nasally and raspy.

Probably disappointed that he won't be able to join us next week...

Maybe FP will show up.

Any word on Kelly?  That's a total bummer if his arm is shot again, hate to see his time here end like that

Says he felt something shoot down his arm, then it went numb. One of the reporters (Janes maybe?) says the hand is visibly swollen. It’s said to be like his Game 5 injury.  He’ll go to the doctor tomorrow. Sounds no bueno.

That said, he’s under contract next year too so unless this is an injury that keeps him out for a full year or ends his career, his tenure isn’t done.

[imref]

maybe we just start a position player in Jackson's next turn on the hill?  Could Bautista give us 3 decent innings?

Collins said he wanted to get Familia into a save situation, just to improve Familia's confidence going into the off-season.
