[Gwreck]

Bust outta that slump, Carlos!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mucho Kaboomo.

Vin Scully isn't what he once was.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Garciaparra looking like his old self.

Nomar and Carlos recalling ol' AL East days.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Wow. Soler got thru the first inning unscathed.

Chances of me staying up till the end of this are... remote

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cool low camera angle on the Dodger broadcast from about 15 degrees to the first base side of the plate.

[Zvon]

Did I miss a kaBoom?
Woe is me

Wow-I missed TWO!

Nice K by Soler to end the inning after given up a double to Martin down the third base line.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Drew caught it, but it's cool to see Wright go the other way with power again.

...and its kool to see Delgado swinging a good bat again.

2 for 2 with the single that inning.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Does Soler have a windup or does he always pitch from the stretch?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Valentin's got some glove!

[Gwreck]

I believe that was Alay Soler's first big league hit -- for real, this time -- after it was taken away last game on that hit-changed-to-error scoring decision.

[Guest Edgy DC]

First big-league hit for Soler.

[Zvon]

Soler with his 1st hit in the big leagues!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Through four complete, the Mets lead the Dodgers 3-0.

So far, so good for Soler. With the big bats due up in the 5th, it would be nice to add to the lead here.

[nymr83]

damn walks.
get lofton!

[nymr83]

Soler k's Lofton looking with 2 om to end the threat, it remains 3-0 Mets.

And Lofton was not a happy camper.

Cliffy hits!
Delgado and Floyd swingin a good bat-
this would be a good time for them to step up and carry a bit of the load for awhile.

And I like our new second baseman-he singles Cliff to third.

[Zvon]

The rook comes thru with an RBI single.
He runs straight to 1st and doesnt slap anyone five.

[nymr83]

Reyes NOT happy to have struck out.

[Gwreck]

Apparently the ump was walking towards Reyes as they exchanged words after the K. Not a good idea.

This is why people hate umpires. Plant your ass back behind the plate Vanover.

Exactly!
Why should that ump follow Reyes?
I dont care what Jose is sayin--if he's not in the umps face he should not recognize it.
Simple as that.

And Reyes, dont get tossed over a pitch that may have been a strike after that pitch you tried to swing at earlier in the at bat :\
