I always wanted an Ichiro type, bat wise, on this team. Rollins has become a hit machine like Ichiro.

Considering he's the best player in NY and better than anyone in Boston, that really doesn't matter.

It's too bad baseball is a team sport. Boston has the better team.

For whatever reason, Lilly owns the Red Sox. I expect him to give up 7 runs in his next start, though. One good one, one bad one. One good one, one bad one...

Good game... if it weren't for the fuck-up in the ninth. Thank God we have Ryan.

Best Jays closer since Tom Henke.

Can we STFU about Rollins' pretend hit streak? I'll happily concede he's fantastic. But three Mets have longer streaks right now.

Not seeing this. I'd give the Boston rotation the edge because of Beckett, but that's not saying much. The Mets have a better lineup and better defense.

Looks like David Wright is on the 2-day DL with puncture wounds to the hands as well as exposure.

The Mets expect a glorious return on Sunday.

Lily's performance vs. Boston compared to the rest of the league is seriously one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen. In 2005, he was 3-0 with a 2.40 ERA against them last year and 7-11 with a 6.54 ERA versus everyone else... what the hell. He is not lucksacking his way to good stats against Boston either. He is getting ahead of every batter, aggressively attacking the stike zone. He spots his fastball very well, and he consistently throws his curve and changeup for strikes. If he could do that against any other team, he would be a damn good pitcher -- but normally he can not throw his curve and change cosistently to save his life, and his fastball catches too much of the plate too often and gets owned.

There is one anomly though -- in all of the games he has pitched recently against Boston, he has been spotted fat leads. Regardless, you think we would just trade for him as that would be an instant 2-win upgrade for Boston right there.

I don't think this comic is hard to figure out.

Like Kyo said, I expect him to give up 5 home runs in his next start. However, the announcers said he and the pitching coach had a huge tiff last year about where he stood on the rubber. Speculation, but, maybe he took the advice?

... nah.

If he pitched like this the whole year... holy fuck.

You know, despite being a rookie, I think Downs is gonna do pretty well this year.
