Ugh

"Fuck this I'm going home," quoth the author of this blog as Jason Marquis' grand slam sailed into the Mets bullpen. Faster than Jerry Manuel racing to the mound to remove his beleaguered rookie starter I was racing to my car to take me where my scotch is. John Niese pitched adequately through three innings before the wheels came off in the fourth. And by the wheels coming off I mean he gave up a bases-loaded home run to the opposing pitcher. Who bats left-handed! Did you know John Niese throws left-handed? Probably not, so John Niese throws left-handed! When I said Niese looks like a young Barry Zito, that wasn't exactly what I meant. Johan pitches tonight for the Mets, meaning the offense can take the night off. What's that? You mean you can still lose a game 1-0 even with your ace on the mound? Well shhhh, don't tell the bats! They might wake up!
