It's already 1-1.

We also already have Cabrera out of the game with an injury, and two stolen bases by Reyes.

[Valadius]

Beltran's been good as of late.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hernandez is in the booth and HoJo is in the Met dugout.

[Zvon]

Beltran ties it with a single following Reyes doing his lead off single and steal second thang.

Delgado drew first blood with his own RBI single following Pierre doing his similar thang in the 1st half.

1-1

[Zvon]

After all that talk about having Diaz fill the 2 spot while Matsui is out, and batting Hernandez 8th, Willie has Cairo playin 2nd and batting 2nd.

You cant call that an experiment, Willie.

[Valadius]

WHY IS CAIRO BATTING 2ND?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Valadius]

JAKE-MONSTER!!!!!

[Zvon]

douBLOOM!

Jacobs drives in Piazza with a double.
The guys a,.....a.....monster.

[Zvon]

side note:The Marlin�s Miguel Cabrera left the game in the top of the first inning after fouling a ball off his leg.

The Marlins are pretty banged up.

Tonight is the anniversary of the night in 2001 when baseball returned to New York.

that was some night.

I dunno KC.
I
Dont
know

[Zvon]

nothing in the game notes........

Mets - New York leads the National League with 144 stolen bases and is third in the NL with 55 pinch hits. The Mets are the only NL team to have six players with 10 or more steals and the team's .306 pinch-hitting average leads the NL. ... LF Floyd has a major league-leading 14 outfield assists, most for any Mets outfielder since Bernard Gilkey had 17 in 1997. ... RHP Seo has 10 strikeouts in his last 13 innings.

I imagine that the answer will be something like:

"The kid was a little overwhelmed. I wanted to give him a blow and let him step back. He'll be fine"

[Valadius]

Right... we've got Marlon Anderson on the bench and we send out Cairo.

lol.....yep.Probly.
"I dont wanna throw the kid into this high pressure pennant race we are still not in....."

[Guest Edgy DC]

To see how LoDuca ran out that double-play, I'd have the Mets bunting all night.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Lowell homers to tie.

[Zvon]

Frakin Lowell.........and he's ugly too.

Im tellin ya, the Marlins are like one big bruise.

They are hurtin pups.

They are limpin noodles.

......shall i go on & on & on?

[MFS62]

Not watching on tv.
Isn't Vargas a lefty?
And Willie is giving Jake a start against him?

I'm impressed.

Later

[Guest Edgy DC]

The Marlon Anderson at second movement is a little late in coming, isn't it?

[Zvon]

..........................a big black and blue blowfish?



Says Piazza got a infield single.
Anyone see how that went down?

Seos over 70 pitches thru 4....

Im bummed about Wrights recent HR drought.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He's hit a couple but stopped at second in order to get the double record.

[Guest KC]

>>>Tonight is the anniversary of the night in 2001 when baseball returned to New York.<<<

[Zvon]

Vargas singles and Pierre sacs him over.
mmmmmmmmm.
interesting.

That stogie suckin McKeon is old school.

Conine moves Vargas to third with a ground out.

Dillon strands him.

NICE TRY McKeon........need a match?

[Zvon]

I have a file where i collect Met logos and Images
(i have hundreds)and at that time one of my favorites
was produced:

[Zvon]

Whew...Seo gets out of a jam there.

Encarnacion is stranded at third.

Seos over 100 pitches.
Would be nice if the Mets could plate a run and put him in a position to get the win......
I see no reason why he should continue on after this inning.
Well, maybe one more. But i think he's done his job for the night.

[Zvon]

Floyd hits one deep but not deep enough. Fly out.

Wright singles.
Comeon Piazza----smack one for Seo

[Guest Edgy DC]

Great tidbit from Keith. He was giving Cabrera grief for being in the dugout walking around instead of in the clubhouse icing himself. He said he learned how to deal with trauma injuries because, in his first big-league camp, his roommate was Ron Hunt.
