Boston up 5-0 on the Braves.

[Guest KC]

You mean Phils, it's the FOX game up here. Atlanta and Orioles are score-
less in the seventh.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I mean the Phils. Soy estupido.

Why is Boston playing Philly this year. The NL Central is supposed to be opposing the AL East, right?

[Guest KC]

I dunno.

Tom Glavine LHP (4-7, 5.06)
Sean Henn LHP (0-2, 10.29) yikes

[Guest Edgy DC]

Reyes opens with an 11-pitch lineout.

OE: Cammie follows with a four-pitch base on balls.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Crash! Bam! Pow!!
KAZOOOOIE!!!!!

[Guest KC]

Holy Mackerel ...

Transcript of Mel Stottlemeyer's visit to the mound"

"Who are you? What are you doing on my team? Isn't about time we started putting names on the uniform around here? Don't look at the scoreboard kid. Don't even look in the dugout. You'll be in Columbus by the eighth inning and nobody in the dugout can help you. Meantime, go get 'em."

[Guest abogdan]

Great patience by everyone except the $100 million man. 28 pitches by Henn in the first. Even Reyes saw 3 balls that inning.

Don't let them get those runs back.

[Guest Edgy DC]

With a lefty like Glavine going at Yankee Stadium, I'd almost be tempted to switch Cammie and Floyd.

You really don't want to change... one... thing... with Cornelius the way he's going, but it's a thought.

[Guest abogdan]

Glavine looked good in the first, inducing ground balls all over the place. 2-0 after 1.

[Guest abogdan]

Atlanta's blowing it against Baltimore. Reitsma just gave up 3 in the 9th to allow the O's to tie it.

Wright goes BOOM! 3-0 good guys.

[Guest KC]

Everyone, buzz cut your heads NOW!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's Cliff Floyd's personal high for homers as a Met.

Yeah, it's still June.

[Guest abogdan]

Ugh, Glavine gives up a two run double to Cano. 3-2.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Left that pitch a little up there, didn't you, Tom?

[Guest abogdan]

Great play by Reyes to end the inning. Diving stop on a grounder up the middle and then beats Jeter with the throw. Looked safe to me, but no complaints. 3-2 after 2.

[Guest abogdan]

There really aren't too many things funnier than Mr. Met whittling a giraffe.

[Guest abogdan]

I didn't like the top of the third. 1-2-3, and the Mets let Henn get out of the inning on only 7 pitches.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Glavine, meanwhilst, is having trouble getting third outs.

[Guest abogdan]

Glavine's scuffling. He's up to 74 pitches through 4, same as Henn. I'd be shocked if both these guys made it through the 6th. Still has the 3-2 lead, though.

[Guest KC]

3-2 through four. Glavine Houdini like (stolen from O'Brien).

I feel like the game's been on three hours already.

[Guest Edgy DC]

So, I was just thinking, "Reyes should bunt for a hit against these suckas."

[Guest KC]

Beltran doubles Reyes in with an awfully soft hit double down the left field line.

[Guest abogdan]

Cliff goes boom 2: Electric Bugaloo

6-2 Mets.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Baltimore made it interesting, but Atlanta persevered and won.

Our team is the Sac-Masters.

Stottlemeyer's second transcript.

"Are you still here? Well, they can't blame me for this one. OK, this next guy is Cliff Floyd. He's really hitting this year. Don't give him anything inside... our outside. Go get 'em.

Oh, and Jeter hates you."

[Guest KC]

Holy Mackerel ...

[Guest Edgy DC]

I blame Stottlemeyer for that one.

[Guest KC]

Piazza, buzz kill, pops up next pitch.
