Every time the team goes to Anaheim, I think Willie Randolph-type thoughts.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

They should give an award to the pitcher with the most decisions for the year. I will guess this guy is in the running (that ERA is pretty impressive too)

I think of Willie Randolph first, and Jose Reyes' major-league debut second.

Steve Trachel's 1 -hitter, and the crazy game where Marlon Anderson hit an inside the park home run and Cliff Floyd hit a game winning (?) extra inning HR

Am I making up the inside-the-park home run game? I don't see it on the list

[Benjamin Grimm]

Maybe it was this game at Shea? https://leaptoad.com/mets/gamedetail.php?gameno=6960https://leaptoad.com/mets/gamedetail.php?gameno=6960

[Gwreck]

Best part is Marlon blowing the bubble as he rounds second base.

[MFS62]

Never mind. I figured it out. I mis-read the scorecard.

Later

[Gwreck]

Reyes singles, Cameron walks, Floyd homers.

Thank you! For some reason I remembered this as an away game. But what a whacko night

holy crap

Here's the IGT with our pals Willpie, Spacemans Bong, Martin, Rotblatt etc.



One reason I thought it was out of town? The rain delay made the game start & end later than a NYC game, though I only remember the end.

An ode to Paul Blackburn



Now that you've found your new Mets team

This is your pitching staff to command

You can get on the hill and polish year seems

Or sit in the dugout with the Trumpets on hand



Here's your reward for pitching so well

Gone are the gopher balls in the big yard

Gone are the days always on the IL

You just want to sit in your Shangri La



Put on your jockstrap and sit next to Carlos

You've reached the Mets and you can't go any higher

You're in your uniform not an A anymore



Sit back on the old bullpen stool

You do need to worry you do need to care

You can't use spider tack anymore



Shangri La

Shangri La

Shangri La

Not a great peg by Kennedy. Like he slung it in slow motion.

[Frayed Knot]

Marlon's clearly safe there, I don't know what Molina thought he saw.

But even a halfway decent relay has him out by ten feet which, considering it

was maybe a 100ft throw, made it a terrible peg.

[Centerfield]

Gotta say. I don't know what Stearns sees in Blackburn. Nothing in his stats suggests he's any good. If he hits on this he must really be able to see things others don't.



Hopefully this is not another Houser.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Seems like he's here to eat innings.

[Fman99]

Gelbs and Ronny in the booth. BOOOOOOO

[Fman99]

New things I've learned since this game started:



1. Ron Washington is the Angels manager

2. Luis Guillorme plays for the Angels

[Edgy MD]

Good to have you back, baseball. That was a long two days.

[Fman99]

Nicely turned 6-4-3 there
