That's a heck of a lineup. Welcome back Carlos.

[Gwreck]

Wow, the TBS announcers are terrible.

They go through the Mets' defensive lineup. "Nady in right, a big upgrade."

Earth to Don Sutton -- Nady's not Ichiro out there, and he replaced Mike Cameron.

LoDuca comes up: "Looking at the Mets, you might be seeing their MVP right here."

Earth to Chip Caray -- WTF?

They then proceed to tell us that LoDuca's a tremendous defensive upgrade over Piazza, and the fact that the Mets have a better record and ERA shows that he can handle pitchers better.

[nymr83]

mind boggling.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm getting in-between innings banter here. Great. One of them is going online to look up the hotel the team is staying at in Miami.

[nymr83]

i wonder if they KNOW about that? could you imagine if they didnt and one of them said something that made Keith's comment look tame?

[TransMonk]

I HATE when leadoff doubles don't score a run.

No excuse.

[Gwreck]

Glavine makes a nice play on Francoeur, throwing him out at first on a swinging bunt. Francoeur nearly takes Delgado's hand off while running down to first as Carlos was awaiting the throw.

Interesting though, as Francoeur was clearly running out of the baseline.

[Gwreck]

Great diving catch by Floyd saves at least a run, but he might've re-aggravated his injury.

[TransMonk]

Through 5:

Mets: no runs, one hit, no errors
ATL: no runs, four hits, no errors

[Gwreck]

LoDuca!

[TransMonk]

LoDuca gets his first HR of the year.

KABOOM!

1-0 good guys.

[Guest GYC]

Floyd is insane.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let's see him do it with the bat now.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Kaboo. Lineout.

[Guest Edgy DC]

But Nady gets a two-out singly.

GoKazGoKazGoKazGoKazGo!

And nice looking goatee, man.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nady makes Mets 27-29 in steals.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Intentional walk to Matsui to bring up the pitcher backfires as Thompson walks Glavine.

Sacks are full for Reyes. We need some insurance. Come on Jose.

I heard that too, I was looking down at a paper or something and looked up expecting to see Wright and was a little puzzled

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It wasn't meant to be. Reyes flies out to left fielder Diaz in foul territory.

Come on Glavine. Shut them down one more inning. Then it's up to the bullpen to hang on to the lead.

[nymr83]

slow IGT tonight...

TBS' MVP LoDuca dribbles a single up the middle.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tw'an for Delgado. This call to the bullpen brought to you by Seussville.com.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Beltran draws a walk to put Mets at first and second with none out. Delgado with a chance to add some insurance.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sombrero for Delgado.

[TransMonk]

Golden colored sombrero for Delgado.

If he has a bad night every 23 games, I'll take it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright goes lookin'.

Looked low to me.

...and to Wright, but he decided not to go delmon young on the umpire and throw his bat at him.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Floyd flies to chipper on the outfield grass.

Delgado, Wright, and Floyd together fail to even advance a runner. Floyd did barely get the ball out of the infield. You have to tip your hat to Remlinger for a great job of getting out of the inning.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Heilman mowes down LaRoche and Giles, then gets Renteria to ground to Wright at third for a 1-2-3 inning.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Come on offense. Just one stinking run of insurance. That's not too much to ask.
