[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

If they play, I'll probably watch it on TiVo tomorrow morning. Anyone who's around when it ends, please feel free to start a Schaefer thread.

[Guest SI Metman]

7:55 First pitch tentatively

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Perfect! I have just enough time to finish my homework before the game starts

[Guest KC]

Hafta post Rain Song once a year ...

It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from
time to time.

Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever thaw. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion - I seek the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall.

[Gwreck]

First pitch now set for 8:40 EDT.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Rainy Friday, and I wake up in the late afternoon
Call up KC just to see how he's doing
"Hello, what up Edge?!" "Yo Sage, whats rocking?"
"ou thinking what i'm thinking?" "Brews and Mets?!" Then it's happening!

But first, my thirst, comin' low like Innis
Let's hit up Paddy Reilly's and mack on some Guinness
No doubt, that bar's got irish and Dickshot
And enough onion rings to get a dope blood clot

[Elster88]

They used to have a copy of Lazy Sunday over at www.youtube.com, but NBC gave them a cease and desist order.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Game on, and my mlb.tv is working. Gary and Ronnie are breathing vapor in the booth.

Stupid Gary ruined everything, and now the screen goes dead during commercial breaks.

[Elster88]

Gary says the crowd is loud today.

Good job by the Met fans, on a cold rainy Friday night.

[Gwreck]

Friend called me from Shea at about 7, reported deep lines at the ticket windows.

11 pitches, 10 were strikes for Glavine in 1st inning, with 2 Ks. NICE.

EDIT: correcting pitch total

[Guest Edgy DC]

Glavine really seemed to be going out there with cahnfidence.

Aww great, now "Long Black Veil" is gonna be in my head all night?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jose whiffs swinging at junk at his shins and ankles.

He hasn't looked so good, and yet has a seven-game hitting streak and a .342 average.

[Elster88]

It sounds like they're chanting for Beltran, but I can't make it out.

[Elster88]

A huge roar when he made contact, even though it was obvious it was a pop fly to the outfield.

"The Met fans came to make noise tonight"

[Guest Edgy DC]

In Reyes's defense, Beltran is chasing the low change also.

They were. Car-los Bel-tran. (could hear it on radio broadcast).

[A Boy Named Seo]

Yeah, that Car-los Bel-tran clap, clap, clap-clap-clap thing.

What are the logos on the grass near the first and third base coaching boxes?

"10 years ago, on a cold dark night
a murder was committed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked alot like me

She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows 'cept me..."

Great country song, first became a hit for Lefty Frizzell (Not to be confused with Carlton, Grove, Gomez or any other famous Lefty)

[Elster88]

]Great country song,

I was racking my brain wondering what song you were talking about. That's why I didn't know it. I'm not into country.

[Elster88]

Gary: 2,361st strikeout moves Glavine into sole possession of 28th place all time, passing Charlie Hough.

Who was that? It was the first out of the second.

Without having seen them, my guess is something for Jackie Robinson Day (which is tomorrow I believe).

[Elster88]

If the fans keep cheering Beltran, I think he'll forget about the booing eventually.

Just like how the crowds won over Maximus in Gladiator.



Just once I want to hit a bomb and have 55,065 people jump to their feet and cheer me. That's why I'm jealous of ballplayers. That and the million dollar salaries and willing groupies.

Ah but don't forget what happened to the guy above your avatar. He put up some numbers that would have made him a soild fan favorite had the team been better, yes his play probably didn't help the team any though but still, and yet was thrown out of town for Mr. 5 Tool

Steve

[Guest Edgy DC]

Brewers are putting the Williams Shift on Delgado.

[Guest Iubitul]

]I'll show you the Bronx

Those five words doomed Bonilla around here...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Describing Tim Foli throwng his bat at the ball.

"That's why they called him 'Crazy Horse'."

"There are a few reasons they called him 'Crazy Horse'."

"Well, this is one we can talk about."

[Guest Edgy DC]

Holy heck, Nady hit that one hard and far.

[Elster88]

That was a bomb!!!

Over the bleachers. Somebody lost a windshield.

That slow shit worked on everyone else up until then. Nady waited for a fastball on the plate. About knee high and on the inside part of the plate.
