Nady Says Ka Boom!

[Gwreck]

Nady!

[Elster88]

I keep waiting for Nady to come back to Earth. I thought it started the past two games.

[Zvon]

[Elster88]

That's a good one, Zvon.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Diaz checks his swing but makes the mistake of taking a half step back towards the dugout before realizing that he hadn't been called out for it.

The appeal to the first-base umpire: "Did he go?"

"If he thinks he went, of course he did."

It's probably some degee of projection, but Diaz is looking like an unhappy bench player, coming up after the guy whose job he wants hits a ball into the parking lot.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Very nice Warewolf

[Elster88]

Great crowd tonight. I almost want to be there.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Xavier Nady was one of the most prolific home runs ever to don a New York Mets uniform. His tape measure shot over the leftfield wall out at Shea which is still sailing as we speak over the bullpen wall and yet still going and going and gone right over the yellow school bus parked in the Shea Stadium parking lot and bouncing and bouncing some more till a final roll as the thunder still echoes to a crescendo amidst the misty cool night fall air that dusts Shea Stadium so many seasons ago. Only Darryl Strawberry could muster as much more as XAVIER THE X-MAN NADY could but the sudden quickness, the torrid ascent of a simple baseball crushed into the heavens could never be matched. At least Strawberry had the Shea Stadium scoreboard to bounce off here and there but to me XAVIER THE X-MAN's prolific shot is still sailing forever in my dreams and forever in New York Mets folklore. That Xavier Nady home run almost ALMOST matched a Dwight Gooden fastball in Doc's prime.

Dejavu

[Elster88]

Reyes with a base hit on a pitch that he shouldn't be swinging at with a 2-0 count.

[Elster88]

In game stat: Capuano led the majors with 12 pickoffs last year.

[Elster88]

Lo Duca doubles in Reyes.

Pulls it off the end of the bat lands down the line in the outfield.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

LoDuca drives in Reyes!

[Theoldmole]

Great bat handling by LoDuca.

[Guest Edgy DC]

LoDuke doubles him home with maybe an assist from the distraction of Jose Reyes.

It's Passover and Capuano's move doesn't look altogether kosher.

fantasic quote.


Im gettin to really like lo Duca batting second.
He doubles in Reyes.

[Elster88]

Beltran with a walk. He must have a high OBP this year.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Delgado drives in LoDuca!

[Zvon]

Beltran works that walk.
And when Beltran gets on, Delgado hits......

BINGLE!

there ya go

[Willets Point]

"Brass Monkey" by the Beastie Boys? Is Wright old enough to remember that?

[The Big O]

I'll have to check, but it seems like a disproportionate number of our runs � especially our "big" innings � have come with 2 outs.

I don't know if that means anything in a cosmic Mets-sense. But I'm willing to like it.

[Willets Point]

Capuano is my congressman's name too.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fun to hear Ron Darling read Capuano's body language and say that he's fighting himself.

[Guest GYC]

First K of the year for Mr. Wright.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright commits his first sin.

[Willets Point]

First K of the year for Mr. Wright. I still love him.

I love him more.

[Elster88]

Going out to chase. Go Mets.

EDIT: I was just Bobby Bo, now I'm Bobby O!

[metirish]

Ralph not sounding good, still it's great to hear him for the first time this year.
