[Centerfield]

Mets swinging the bats like it's getaway day. First 5 go in order. Jamie Wright has thrown like 3 pitches.

[Centerfield]

Vizcaino goes deep to make it 1-0. Mets really looking flat here.

Jose Freakin' Vizcaino homers to give the Giants a 1-0 lead in the third.

YES! Reyes drives in Chavez to tie the game

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

LoDuca follows that up by driving Reyes home! 2-1 Mets

Great to hear Howie on the TV, what's up with Gary though?

[seawolf17]

There was definitely a package of Swedish Fish on the shelf behind Willie Randolph in that dugout shot.

C'mon, I-Man. Read the whole thread. It's not even one page long.

[metirish]

I saw that but thought CF was taking the piss.

[Gwreck]

FWIW, a friend just called to discuss the games and they thought they said Laryngitis (rather than appendicitis) as the reason for Gary's absence.

I love that phrase. I wish I was from the UK.

AP story says "Mets broadcaster Gary Cohen left the ballpark in an ambulance before the first game and was taken to a hospital. The team was awaiting word on his condition."

[Gwreck]

Clearly somebody needs to work on those listening skills.

Thanks for the clarification/correction.

[The Big O]

Could be a debilitating largyngitis.

Baseball content: Tommy's only surrendered 2 hits and a walk with 2 K's through 5.

Edit: I should never say things.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

2-2 in the 6th.

[seawolf17]

Damn you, Randy Winn.

edit: Side thought -- remember when the Pirates had Marvell Wynne and Jim Winn on the same team? That was weird. I also thought it was weird that they had a Winn and a Walk (Bob) on the same pitching staff.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Matsui, hitting crappy, but turned the DP when I needed it there.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Glavine's night is done.

We go to the 8th tied 2-2.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's appendicitis

[Guest Edgy DC]

Stealing on the pitchout. Yup.

Sounds like Madeline....



In the middle of the night, someone someone sat upright and said something is not right!

[metirish]

That sucks for Gary, get well soon, any word on who the Mets will call up to take his place, any numbers on the broadcasters in the minors, I hear the guy at Hagerstown is a prospect.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

And we go to the 10th.

[Gwreck]

This didn't work out so well for us the last time this happened. (ie. Bonds vs. Wagner)

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'd love another last-at-bat win here. But some of thes wins should happen in the sixth.

Ray Durham walks with two out and Dickshot takes note.
