Reyes return. Heh, only a few years back morons on WFAN and ESPN Radio would have suggested Reyes would be sidelined for the year and it was a career threatning injury! "Oh but he won't be able to grip the bat right!"

What?

[Elster88]

Keith said that Reyes has "vowed never to slide head-first again". I think he must have meant into first.

[metirish]

Yeah I think he meant into first base, we'll see how long that lasts, sounds like an easy bet to win with reyes.

[Guest KC]

Is reminiscing about what morons might have called radio stations about
two years ago less moronic that the act of reminising about these things in
an IGT on the internet? Just asking.

Golly, I hope I spelled reminiscing right or I'm gonna look all doody-headed.

[Elster88]

Reyes' last swing looked awful, but maybe I only think that because he popped up.

13 pitches to the first two hitters, so far.

[Elster88]

A Cohen Fun-Fact:

Delgado:
.454 with 15 RBI in the 9-1 road trip.
.192 with 8 RBI since.(21 games)

Reyes grimacing in pain with every play.

[Elster88]

Mediumly hit grounder. Reyes back hands but throws wide. Delgado's swipe tag missed.

[Willets Point]

Delgado goes for the smooth behind-the-back swipe. Doesn't work. Still looked cool

[Elster88]

Reyes got yelled at for not wearing a hat while taking grounders today.

[Guest KC]

I'm grimacing re-reading what I actually hit the submit button on above.

[Elster88]

First and third with two out: HELL of a stop by LoDuca. The curve was literally five feet outside. Lo Duca caught it on one hop cleanly to save a run.

And the runner on first was stealing so Lo Duca was preparing to hop up. Great play that would never be remembered, but for the Crane Pool IGTs.

[Willets Point]

Brutha, can we can an out?

[Willets Point]

Amen!

[Elster88]

Cohen: LaRue hates you.
Keith: ...
Cohen: He was a huge Houston fan growing up.
Keith: Oh, I thought you were getting personal. Hurt my feelings.
Cohen: He hates you, Lenny, the whole group.

I agreed with it.

[TransMonk]

X goes KABOOM!

Abre-who?

[Elster88]

My main lady, Nady.

[Elster88]

Keith just called Pelfrey a tall drink of water.

[Zvon]

im slippin-

[Elster88]

6-5-3 on Griffey. Third DP through 3. Way to be Pelfrey.

[Elster88]

The Mets are flying out with reckless abandon.

[Elster88]

Great AB by Beltran in the fourth.

[Elster88]

Have any of the American Idols not sucked?

[Elster88]

AFLAC:

The only two Met pitchers to win their first and second (career) starts: Selma and Gentry.

Keith says Selma taught him to throw the old Vaselineball.

That was great - I love listening to Keith...
