[Willets Point]

Professional Hitter down on strikes.

[TransMonk]

Mets score 2 in the 2nd.

Wright doubles, Nady walks, Floyd doubles.

Why does Willie have a woody for Woody? It seems like he starts everyday.

[TransMonk]

Reyes is amazingly fun to watch on the basepaths.

[TransMonk]

Mets add another run in the 3rd without a hit.

3-0 good guys.

[metirish]

Transmonk I can't let you go this alone...yeah Reyes is a blast on the basepaths.....where the hell is everyone, do these people have a life or what?

[TransMonk]

Folks start rolling in about the 6th inning or so. The beginnings of games have been slow for the IGTs lately.

[metirish]

Floyd gets hit again....poor guy...looks hurt.

[TransMonk]

Cliff drilled hard in the wrist by a fastball.

That hurt...I could hear him yelling al the way in Wisconsin.

[TransMonk]

Cliff may be having a rough offensive season, but he deserves a Purple Heart for the abuse he's taken.

Looks to be okay.

[metirish]

It's why the fans love Cliff, what a gamer he is...

[metirish]

Reyes with a two run single...5 zip.....

[TransMonk]

I know he wasn't nominated in the most pleasant surprise thread, but Jose Reyes looks better to me everyday.

I almost want to change my vote.

[metirish]

Did you see after they came back from a TV break Howie pointed out how Floud nealy got hit by a relay throw to first....unreal...if he hadn't ducked he would have got clobbered in the head.....

[TransMonk]

Poor Cliff.

Speaking of poor, the wheels are falling off for Trachsel.

90 pitches and struggling in the 5th.

[metirish]

Wright with a huge jack......

[TransMonk]

David Wright goes KABOOM!

7-2 Mets.

[Guest SI Metman]

Mets going with the retro booth. Ron and Keith switched between Radio and TV in the middle of the 5th.

[TransMonk]

Do we see Trachsel go another with 109 pitches?

We should with Lima/Maine/Pelfrey and the AS break coming up.

[TransMonk]

Yup...and he gets plunked leading off the 6th.

PTA Post-Prom Committee meeting. Not a life, but an obligation.

Nice to come home to a 7-2 lead. I heard Mr. Wright's homer in the car ride home. I love that boy

[metirish]

You should have seen it SK, it was a vintage Piazza home run the other way....

[metirish]

I wish Keith would stop going on about how the game today is sooooo different than when he played......very Seaver like that is.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Those of you actually watching the game, please help a guy out. Who's throwing in the Mets pen? Someone has to be throwing in the pen. Barring a miracle, I don't see Trachsel surviving the 6th.

Mmm... like me you write.

Hey! Aaron Heilman! Maybe Willie wants to get Wagner into a save situation tonight.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Trachsel strikes out Jason Bay for the first out, then Willie pulls him. Good outing by Trachsel.

It's in the hands of the bullpen now. Come on Heilman.

[MFS62]

It might have been a nice time to audition Mr. Owens.

In case nobody has noticed, ever since they traded him away (after having him for one off season week) Joe Randa has been an absolute pain in the ERA to the Mets.

Later

[metirish]

Howie said Owens just got to the park....

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Best to save his audition for the start of an inning. Men at first and second with one out is a little tougher time to make the leap from Binghamton to Shea.

Nice job by Heilman.
