IGT 5/20/06, Mets (Pedro) vs. Yankees (Mussina)

[Gwreck]

Alright, this worked well for game one, so this afternoon's rally song will keep our theme going...Let's Go METS!

World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin' down
Better change your tune

We'll reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby just spread your wings

And get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

Run run run away
Like a train runnin' off the track
YOu got the truth being left behind
It falls between the cracks

Standing on broken dreams
Never losing sight
Well just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

'Cause we belong
In a world that must be strong
Well, that's what dreams are made of

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
Higher and higher
Leave it all behind

We'll get higher and higher
Who knows what we'll find

So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

Oh, baby we belong
In a world that must be strong
Well, that's what dreams are made of

And in the end
On dreams we will depend
'Cause thats what love is made of

Aim for left field.

[soupcan]

Van Hagar instead of David Lee?

I already don't feel good about this.

Easy now, it worked just fine last night. I wouldn't have broken out the Van Halen unless it was an important game...

[metirish]

Joe Buck is so annoying, Jeter on second.

[Gwreck]

No matter, he gets steroids to pop up and gets slappy looking.

[metirish]

Pedro seems to just have a great sence for the big moments, made Gay-Rod look foolish just now.

[Guest abogdan]

Pedro gets out of the jam.

If you think Buck's bad, just wait until we have to sit through Joe Morgan tomorrow night.

[metirish]

I think my main problem with Buck is that he thinks he's so funny, Morgan is just a fool that gets played by Miller.

[Gwreck]

Damn! Another error on Rodriguez. How sad.

[metirish]

Reyes to 3rd after stealing 2nd and a wild throw by Stinnett..

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Reyes says, "Speed Kills."

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

An RBI double for Beltran makes it 1-0 good guys!

[Guest abogdan]

Beltran listens to the "hit it to LF" advice. Cairo can't play LF as Beltran drives in Reyes and ends up at 2B. 1-0.

[metirish]

Beltran brings him home with a double over Cairo....I think Beltran has won the fans over....finally.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Just like his last at bat, Wright hits a catchable long fly over Damon's head for an RBI double!

2-0 good guys!

[Theoldmole]

Just like last night!

[Zvon]

HA!
Damon fall down-go boom.

[Theoldmole]

If Beltran isn't a fan favorite by now, there's no hope.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Which reminds me: Does Wright get credited with a double in last night's game? Picture-perfect demonstration that he could have made second easily--so how does that get scored when it's a game winner? Like Ventura's grand-slam single?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's a single. And he's happy to have it.

[TransMonk]

It was a single...he never made it to second...just like '99.

[Gwreck]

Wright was credited with a single last night.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Pedro mows down the Yankees in the second.

Mets 2 Yankees 0 heading to the bottom of the second.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Mets go down quietly in the second.

[Zvon]

Pierzynski goes down loudly in Chicago.

WOW! Barrett really popped him one.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Fox just played a home-plate collision--A.J. Pierzynski barrelled into Michael Barrett, Barrett threw a punch--and BOTH of them got thrown out?!?!? WTF? That was as clean an attempt to knock the ball out of Barrett's hand as I (Or McCarver) could imagine.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Captain Intangibles strikes out to end the top of the third.

Guess we'll have to wait to see the whole event.
It looked innocent enough until the second time they bumped.

I was still quite surprized by that punch.
He laid into him.

Pedro Ks that shortstop guy on that "other" New York team.
