Lets go Mets, yesterday was a wreck, I watched the first two innings then went to the City to meet the GF, she tells me the Mets are up 4 zip, I'm happy, then I hear they lost I couldn't believe it, and how they lost was the killer...terrible.

I edited the title to show who is playing for future reference.

Unfortunately, sometimes the 'edited by' thingy doesn't show up in edited posts.

Probably because you only edited the title and not the text of the post (??)

Blue and the pinstripes for the National TV game. Nicely done.

Caught Baseball Tonight before the game. Berman is his usable insufferable self, a horse's ass as usual, but Harold Reynolds embarassing himself too. "Promoting" Mark Teixiera's defense, he says "He's gonna win a gold glove one of these days."

Uh, Harold, he did. Last year.

[Zvon]

I hope that was Damons favorite bat :\

[Zvon]

great play by Reyes.

Why wasnt Kaz waiting at the bag for that throw by LaDuke?
Did damon have THAT big a jump?

One thing we have to establish is that the Skanks cant be runnin whenever they want to.

Giambi Ks on a nice changeup by Glavine.
2 out-
A-Rod at the plate with Damon on 2nd.

Kaz might've been a little late getting there but that also could be part of just how the shot on TV was shown. Irrelevant with that throw anyway.

Not letting teams run isn't just going to be against the MFYs but also against every team. LoDuca's not that good throwing runners out...

A look and a throw over by the pitcher would be nice.

Bernie hits a lead off double and Yanks use textbook baseball to move him over.

Big K by Glavine negates any possibility of a tag up.

YES!
and another big K by Glavine ends the threat.

[Zvon]

Nice triple by Cliffy.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda been a homer.
Dagnab wind.

Nady cant get him in.
Grounds out.

0-0

[Guest GYC]

Nady is our best situational hitter.

He did throw over twice when Damon was at first. Joe Morgan alleges Glavine's pickoff move isn't that good. For once, Joe Morgan might actually be right.

Wind costs Cliff the kaboom but he still hustles enough to get the triple...but is stranded.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

] he still hustles enough to get the triple.

The key word being 'enough'. A second or two lost admirin' his handiwork to see.

I guess i should pay attention.
I think Im still upset about the stolen bases we gave away yesterday.

Glavine gets out of another potential jam.

48 pitches, 4 hits, 3 k, 1 walk thru 3.

[Zvon]

Well,.......
letting that pop drop in was rediculous.

Bernie Williams with a lead off windblown pop up double to the infield.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

You have got to be kidding me. How can that pop up by Bernie Williams fall in the infield untouched. The damn things was up there so long that Bernie legs out a double on a ball he hit 50 feet max. That is embarassing.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Yankees draw first blood. Captain intangible plates two on a chopper towards third. Not the easiest play, but should have been an inning ending ground out. A play I would expect to see major leaguers make the majority of the time.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

2-0 Yanks on a single by Jeter off Wright's glove and Reyes' glove.

Now it's bases loaded for A-Rod.

[Zvon]

shit.
Wright lets Jeters grounder eat him up.
And Reyes dont stop it either!

2 runs score.

If i was scorin that would be 2 errors on one play there.
I think they gave him a hit and 2 ribbys.

[Guest Rotblatt]

I can't believe they called that shit a single.

We just keep giving it away.

Disgraceful.

Small's got shit too--he's NOT a good pitcher. We should be crushing him and we've only got one hit.

[Gwreck]

The pop up and the Jeter single/Wright error didn't really bother me all that much...the big problem...why wasn't Glavine challenging Kelly freakin' Stinnett?

1 out, pitcher due up next, you do NOT walk Stinnett, you throw strikes.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A-Rod hits a rocket to left field, but Cliff makes an awkward looking catch on it to end the inning.

Some pretty suspect defensive play really hurt the Mets in that inning.

Yankees lead 2-0 heading to the bottom of the 4th.

Due up for the Mets:
LoDuca
Beltran
Delgado
and hopefully Wright et al

[DocTee]

Joe Morgan can barely contain his contempt for Kazmat--

whether it's referring to yesterday's failed DP ("Reyes did everything perfectly and I thought they'd get two") or his analysis of that pop double ("LoDuca came down the line but that's a play someone in the IF has to make")

Maybe we should invite him to the CPF??

[Zvon]

[Gwreck]

DELGADO!!!



Much better, thank you.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Delgado says Fuck You MFY lead with a 3-run homer -

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A pair of singles by LoDuc and Beltran open the inning for the Mets.

The Delgado goes Kaboom!!!!

[Zvon]

damn-that was huge.

[The Big O]

I was privately snickering at Joe's use of the term "RBI man" ... thanks for shutting me up, Carlos.

And David!
