="KC"]I don't love Meatloaf, but I respect him, I love a song he did on Nugent's Free for All album -- I don't need to hear him sing and solicit the bozos in the booth to join in -- shut up already NOW!!! */rant*

I like Meatloaf, but this garbage of celebrity interviews in the middle of ballgames is bullshit. Just show us the freakin' game!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

4-3 Mets, heading to the 7th.

I dont mind if said celebrity is a Met fan, like Sienfeld.
Jerry actually rattled off some Met trivia--that was neat.

But shameless plugs should be saved for the talk show circuit.
(was Meatloaf plugging something? All I heard was blah,blah,blah--like when an adult talks on Peanuts)

Quality starts ran off with McCarver's mother when he was little, so they're a sensitive topic.

lololol.

Great job by El Duque today after that bad 1st inning.

[TransMonk]

Damn...Ducky!

7IP, 4H, 3ER, 2BB, 8K is is pretty good. If he's the worst we have...not much to complain about today.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

El Duque gets Orlando Palmiero to retire the side and end is outing.

Palmiero is familiar to me soley because he was my weak hitting bench player for the World Champion Twins on Major League Baseball featuring Ken Griffey Jr.


That's the good stuff.

[Zvon]

Hernandez thru 7 and looking good.
Has the Asstros swingin at his pitches and poppin up.

The way he has pitched so far for the Mets, I didnt expect him to recover from his first inning jitters.
But he has, and this is a really good sign for the long haul.

Enuff of this he's either on his game or off his game stuff.
Many starting pitchers take an inning to settle in all the time.

And ElDouque will make way for Sanchez as Chavez comes out to PH.

Good job ElDuke.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Meatloaf has shown up at all sorts of ballparks this week - it was on the MLB.com site. He's a big baseball fan, so that's cool.

Let him sing the National Anthem or throw out some ceremonial first pitches - that's totally appropriate. Even a story during the pregame show would have been fine. But it's ridiculously inappropriate to interrupt a game in progress for this nonsense.

Ha!
Id like to see him try.
For him, thats a 3 hankerchief song.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I will concede that the footage of Reyes back in the Futures Game was cool.

Onto the 8th - 4-3 Mets.

[Zvon]

Reyes is just too anxious lately. Swingin over crap.
He needs to crack a triple - that snap him out of it.

Not this time tho-he strikes out.

Reyes delivers World team past U.S. at Futures

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Duaner Sanchez is in to pitch the 8th.

[Zvon]

Sanchez looks fiiiiiiine.....

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

How much talk about the MFYs and A-Rod do we need to endure?

[TransMonk]

C'mon...it's FOX.

Where would they be with out rehashing the same old stories for uninformed fans?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Alex Rodriguez invented the win share, that rat bastard.

[Zvon]

No way did Beltraan swing at that.
That was a check swing.
That 3rd base ump eats dooky.

[TransMonk]

Hehe...He said dooky.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Qualls comes in to pitch to Delgado.

I hate seeing guys named Qualls at Shea.

[Guest Iubitul]

I'm relieved to see Jared - at least he won't talk about the MFY's....

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Oops - I missed a pitching change.

Qualls is out - Miller is pitching to Delgado with one on and one out in the 8th.

[Zvon]

="TransMonk"]Hehe...He said dooky.

Dont laugh,.... dookys a poor wittle wabbitt.....



I got pics for everything,lol.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's so weird to see sunshine at Shea - it is POURING in Central NJ (yet again).

[Zvon]

Val singles-
Delgado with a nice line single to right center puts runners on the corners for Cliff.

1 out in the 8th.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Damn - Cliff strikes out

[TransMonk]

Another pitching change...here comes Russ Springer with Franco due up.
