Kent Mercker enters the game in the 7th inning in relief of Carlos Zambrano. Transcript of the conversation behind us played out in screaming tones:

Mope #1: Let's go Carlos!
Mope #2: That's Mercker.
Mope #1: Let's go Mercury!
Mope #2: Closest to the Sun!
Mope #1: Throw him the heat!
Mope #2: Throw him the heat!
Mope #1: Throw him the heat!
Mope #2: Throw him the heat!
Mope #1: Throw him the heat!
Mope #2: Throw him the heat!
Mope #1: Let's go Mercury!
Mope #2: I told y'all he'd throw him the heat!

I think I'm turning into cranky old guy.
