[108] Funny thing is that Soriano still doesn’t have a 1-2-3 save. Good that he took care of business quickly.

Worst part was it was the bottom of the order. Not anymore . . .

Well that might have been the easiest Save anyone has ever got.

What a worthless fucking outing from Alpaca Yard. Bollocks!

[98] Perish the thought. This team can’t win anything without two lefty relievers in the bullpen.

On a side note – doesn’t mentioning two lefty relievers in the bullpen make Mattpat11 appear, a la saying Beetlejuice made him appear?

For fuck’s sake, Rapada. Don’t walk the lead off lefty!

Ahh.
So good to have that lefty available. Excellent.

[97] He really has to go. . . .

though in fairness Alex [94], A-Rod has but 5 doubles and a sub-.150 isolated slugging (ISO), which is a better measure of power than SLG. It would be the lowest ISO of his career, by far – even if you include 1995, when he hit .232/.264/.408 over 48 games. Its probably gone up with the HR, though.

Fielder has 11 doubles and so his ISO is .190. Admittedly that’s pretty low for Prince, but still ahead of A-Rod.

However, I’d also bet a lot that Michael Kay has no idea with isolated slugging is, so – yeah.

“I apologize if people took that literally.”

Keep it up, Michael, you could run for office!

Thank god we have another lefty pitcher. What on earth would we do now otherwise???

[94] And, Michael thought it was a long fly out, too. Douche.

[92] Yes. That’s just an incredible moment for them. And at home, too!

How’s that for no power, Michael Kay. Bite me. 8 homers. Exactly as many as Prince Fielder.

I’ve never rooted for the Mets more openly and honestly than I did in the 9th inning tonight.

By: Ara Just Fair

Is Kay going to mention every 8th inning the formulaic bullpen the Yanks used to have before Mo’s season ended and Robertson went down? Oi!
