[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I didn't expect to see Piazza back in the line up. It's too late for the team, but I hope Mike can have a decent run to end the season (and his career as a Met).

[Guest KC]

Lol, Piazza goes yard to right field in his first AB since early August.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Damn. Edmonds' 2-run homer gives back the lead

[Guest KC]

Suppan takes Trax deep for a homer. Baseball can be evil when you moan
and grown about almost losing a job then getting it back. It's 4-1after a Pujols
double and Walker something or other through four innings.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Well, things not looking good for the Mets as Trachs gives up a homer to Suppan, but Piazza's home run was magic.

First at bat in like a month after rushing back from an injury? And the Mets averaging around 2 runs a game for the last two weeks?

That was money.

Pujols doubles down the left field line, then Walker with a single past a diving Matsui. Diaz makes a strong but offline throw to the plate, which Piazza can't hang on to but Trachs gets Walker trying for third to end the inning.

Trachs doesn't look good. It might be Graves time before much longer. Except Willie will probably use Heilman instead.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Old Met GM Bing Devine is in the Cardinal booth.

[Guest Edgy DC]

This day in baseball, 1919, Ray Caldwell of the Indians no-hits the Yankees, two weeks after being struck by lightning.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'd pinch-hit for Trax here. Cmon. It's September.

[Zvon]

I wasnt watchin til just now and i read this to catch up.

PIAZZA!!!???

howbouthat?

Didnt think we'd see him for at least afew weeks.

And he kabooms..wowzers

[Guest Edgy DC]

Boo. Seven runners stranded.

[Zvon]

="Edgy DC"]Boo. Seven runners stranded.

yea, they said they left the bases loaded one inning.

Fire that dang hittin coach, just to do something.

Kinda early to roll out my rally/comeback 2demensional guys......
but...........
what the hell:




you should do some kind of a rally thing Edge.
When you do stuff like that something happens.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's hard to blame the pitching coach when Trachsel can't come through with the bags juiced.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Rally song time:

Come on
She looked good
She looked hotter than hell
All dressed in satins and lace
I looked at her and it was just too clear
I had to get on the case
I said "lady, oh lady, can i take you home
There's just so much we could do
I'll take you all around the whole wide world
Before the evening is through"

Hot, hot, hotter than hell!
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell!
Burn you like the midday sun

I asked her why she couldn't make up her mind
She said "you don't understand
I'd love to go, but there's something you should know"
She showed me her wedding band

Hot, hot, hotter than hell!
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell!
She'll burn you like the midday sun

Hot, hot, hotter than hell!
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell!
She'll burn you like the midday sun

[Guest Edgy DC]

C'mon Jose!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cards are making mistakes this series and getting away with them.

They just seem like it's their year.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hamulack and Jose did the Mets out with a double play.

[Guest cooby]

That song looks like a Christmas tree

[Guest Edgy DC]

It helps when the first line is brief.

Matsui is aflame. We need to drive the guy home, though.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Cliffie, keeps the threat alive. Mets at the corners with one out.

[DocTee]

]Matsui is aflame.

not that there's anything wrong with that

[Zvon]

bad time for Wrights well to dry up

DP

[Guest Edgy DC]

Dios mio!

Goin' down t' the pool hall
Lookin' for the eight ball
When it comes, when it comes
Only want a little, you need a ton

Gimme one good dose of thunder!
Gimme one good dose of thunder!

Gimme gimme in a hurry
Texas added to Missouri
When it comes, when it comes
Only takes a little, 'til you want a ton

One good dose of thunder!
Gimme one good dose of thunder!

I can feel it start to rumble
(Mumble, mumble)
When it comes, when it comes
It only takes a little 'til you need a ton

Gimme one good dose of thunder!
Gimme one good dose of thunder!

And I can feel it!

Gimme one good dose of thunder!
Gimme one good dose of thunder!

I can feel it start to rumble

[Guest Edgy DC]

The Cardinals have cut to the break with "Boys Don't Cry" by the Cure and "The Lunatics" by the Specials.

Better than the ESPN-ish corporate rock just about every team is using.

[Zvon]

i dont believe this

PIAZZA beaneddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think Piazza's thinking a lot about retirement right now.

[Zvon]

that looked just like the Cemens beaning.
Im sure it wasnt intentional----but comeONNNNNNNN

i really cant believe that happened

[Guest cooby]

Is he okay? (tonight I can't watch)

[Zvon]

DIAZ

[Guest Edgy DC]

He's been removed from the game. He was alert and walking under his own power, but seemed woozy. Direct hit that bounced almost straight back.

Prompt DP followed by a Diaz solo dose of thunder.
