better late than never,

Marrero aids Glavine with afew nice catches in the 1st.

Tejeda doubles in the 2nd and is moved station to station for the Oriole run.

Birds up, 1-0.

[Guest Edgy DC]

O's score on a second-inning out to take a 1-0 lead.

Mets in stately royal blue hats. They're wearing blue armbands with blue stripes on the bases.

It's nice to change the uniforms and bases for a charitable gesture, but I still see a trojan horse to get marketing further onto the field and the uniforms.

[Zvon]

Castros great throw to catch Patterson trying to steal second in the 2nd is worthy of note.

[Zvon]

Oriole pitcher Adam Loewen, whoever the hell he is, looks good.
Not unreachable tho.
It would help if guys like Lastings werent swingin at shit over their heads.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Milledge catches a fly for an out out, then coils up to make a throw... before realizing it's the third out.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Beltran drives a foul into the upper deck before earning a two out walk. First and second, two out for Wright --- Beethoven's Fifth greets him.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Grounds to the mound.

They'll get to this guy the third time through.

[Zvon]

Mr. Franco with a great grab of a Patterson line drive to save a run!

Mora had reached on a bunt and took second on a deep fly to Beltran.
Awsum catch by Mr Franco---big!

[Zvon]

Woody with a lead off walk-nice.

Loewen throws afew up by Castros head, and Castro responds with a wicked liner to left.
Caught by Matos though, and the Mets are having a problem putting anything together offensively.

Woodward looking to steal second with two out and Milledge up.

[Zvon]

AWWWWWWWWWWwwwww,

and Woody gets picked off.
Shoot- he looked like a fish outta water.

[Zvon]

Matos Ks and makes a display of his displeasure on the 2nd strike (and rightly so, it looked).
Matos Ks on the following pitch in the same exact place, goes to the bench, says afew choice things from there, and gets tossed!

Glavine Ks Markakis and gets a soft ground out from Oriole pitcher Loewen.

Easy inning.

[Zvon]

These are the Mets of 2006.
Scoring one run should not be such a chore.

But we'll see the bottom of the lineup here to start.
Milledge
Glavine,
then it turns over.

[Zvon]

The rook and the old vet pitcher do nada.

Reyes slaps a single to left though.
Man, he's been hot.
Thats 6 straight he's hit in.

2 out rally anyone?

[Zvon]

Merrero takes one for the team.
Reyes was stealing 2nd at the time, and probly would have had it.

AND BOTH REYES AND MERRERO STEAL-
2nd and 3rd with Beltran up!

[Zvon]

AND HE HITS BELTRAN!
ouch!

Whats goin on here?!

Bases loaded, 2 out, David Wright at the plate.

[nymr83]

KABOOM!!!!!

WALKS HIT BY PITCHES KILL!

[Zvon]

alls i can say is wow.
Wright with a granny!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVID WRIGHT!!!

GRAND SLAM!

Is that some sped-up house version of the Beverly Hills Cop theme song blasting over the PA?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Four runs.

One swing.

Happy Father's Day.

[Zvon]

It was a bullet too.
He ripped that on the 1st pitch.
Did I say WOW yet?

wow

It's a new version called Crazy Frog - my kids like it....

I think he should play the Joker in the next Batman movie.


I also think it was Reyes speed that upset Loewens applecart.
