[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Clff must be thirsty!!!

[metirish]

damn things are going the Mets way now, another error by the Cubs at second base.....Cliif back home so this must be a special feeling for him.

[Zvon]

="metirish"]I do not believe what I just saw....I love you Cliff Floyd.... We need graphics guys....yaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

you asked for graphics------

="Spacemans Bong"]

[metirish]

Mets score again, funny how a fans mood about a game can change in one inning.

Well, there you go.

Orlando Hernandez was acquired when a series of injuries --- Bannister, Maine, Zambrano, and Fortunato --- left the Mets in need of a pitcher to take a big chunk of innings from their depleted staff, and when October baseball was hardly as likely as it is now.

Back to the game. I'm trying to get office work done at home. I glanced at the score after two innings and thought (1) the Mets are going to win anyhow, and (2) "Sean Marshall, Cliff Floyd is going to hurt you."

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Let's Friggin Go Mets.

Nice inning. Wow

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

OMG - the second grand slam of the inning!

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

[Zvon]

ANOTHER GRAND SALAMI!!!!!!

[metirish]

Good point Edgy...WOW another grand slam....

[metirish]

So are all these runs un-earned because of the errors?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A mere 2-run homer for David Wright. I love him anyway

[Zvon]

WRIGHT!!!!!!!

[metirish]

Jesus H Christ what an inning for the Mets...Wright with a huge bomb, 77 RBI on the season for him.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Wright goes deep! His is only a paltry 2-run shot.

13-5 Mets and batting practice continues here in the sixth inning.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

That's the one that gets Dusty Baker fired tomorrow. Way to go.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I can't remember the last 11-run inning.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's one thing to get a hit that knocks out the pitcher. It's another to get the hit that knocks out the manager. Dickshot has filed his prediction.

[metirish]

Was it against the Braves in 99?, no that was a ten run inning IIRC.

Cant remember 2 grannys in one frame either.

This was the kinda fireworks I was lookin for over the 4th of July.

[seawolf17]

Wow.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Ohman comes in and walks Floyd and Nady. That's one way to keep them from hitting home runs.

[The Big O]

="Edgy DC"]I can't remember the last 11-run inning.

Miller: "Biggest inning in Mets history."


Stealth postgame anti-karma edit: Unless you mean the last time the Mets were involved in an 11-run inning ...

[metirish]

Jon Miller tells us that this is the biggest inning in Mets history.

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

Biggest inning in Met history according to Miller.

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

Oh man, Castro got pretty close to giving us the fourth homer.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

And the historic inning is finally over.

Wow - that was fun!
