IGT - 4/6/06 - Pedro's 2006 Debut

[Gwreck]

Ted Barrett, home plate ump hit in the throat when Guillen was hit the second time.

Larynx is swelling, so he's going out. Rick Reed to take over behind the plate. Delay is so he can change. 3 Umps to work duration of game.

[Willets Point]

I don't think the fans at Shea know what's going in.

Not touching that comment.

ESPN cut to commercial, then to Baseball tonight. But at least they had a sideline reporter who could let us know what's happening.

[Willets Point]

Nice one Irish. That was "going on" not "going in" if you didn't figure it out.

[Guest GYC]

Hopefully Keith gets fired for the monkey comment, because he sucks.

That's exactly what I heard.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Dirty Sanchez plunked Johnson.
I don't think the Mets pitchers are getting Christmas cards from Guillen and him.

[Willets Point]

Keith "LoDuca calls an agressive game in just like Gary Carter."
Bret "And not like that pansy Piazza."

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I like Sanchez' cute little leg kick on his delivery.

[Willets Point]

He's not cute, he's "dirty."

He's great. I'll take a few unfortuante comments for his honesty.

[Theoldmole]

Sanchez...good.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Whew. Certainly made it interesting there, huh?

Now let's score about 16 runs and make this a laffer.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. One nice change from last year is that we're playing from ahead these first three games. I might be proven wrong by actual numbers, but it felt like they played from behind in the games that they didn't hit well in.

[metirish]

sanchez is not only good but damn he's kinda hot looking...

[nymr83]

Sanchez looking good. Eischen is in (aren't we glad Ayala won't be pitching this year, thats gotta be worth a win to every other team in the NL East)

[Elster88]

That may be true, but you chose an odd picture to illustrate with.

We don't need actual numbers, Elster. We just say whatever we FEEEEEEEEEEEEL. Some of us take shit for those feelings, others not so much....

[nymr83]

kaboom.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Beltran goes -

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Beltran-- new fan favorite.

[metirish]

Yeah I should change that.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Booooo!!!!

Oops, I mean

[Elster88]

I don't blame Carlos for not granting the curtain call to the asshole Met fans who boo him.

[Willets Point]

Oh, they're not booing now, huh?

[TransMonk]

Beltran blasts bomb for the boo birds...

no curtain call...good for him.

on edit - Julio made him give one

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Carlos Beltran just wants some love is all.

[metirish]

WOW..I love Julio Franco....

[Theoldmole]

That should slow the boos down a notch.
