Mets already on the board--ANOTHER 1st inning run.

Reyes singles-steals second-
the hot hitting LoDuca drives him in with a single.

Bases are now loaded for David Wright-
no outs.

[Guest KC]

Seems like I always turn the game on just a little late and I miss Reyes'
first AB and he's standing on first.

[stevejrogers]

Mets Offense, Assemble, Unite and Activate!

...and then second,...and then running by the plate.

Mets have scored 4 runs on some timely hitting and shoddy play by the Fish.
They already have 2 errors that cost them 2 runs.

Mets up, 4-0.

Trachsel with a nice lil cusion as he takes the mound.

Castro and Franco kind of look out of place with those professional, Met Yearbook photos Ah well...

Gotta love when your pitcher gets an AB before he throws his first pitch.

I love it when an avatar goes from some guy who seemed to have no clue to a hotty.

Marlins threaten, as Ramirez singles-steals and....
is stranded on third.

Nice 1st inning by Trachsel.

[Zvon]

Reyes and LoDuca start off the second with back to back singles.
Boy- those two are hot.

Nolasco is a good pitcher but he always gets all shook up facing the Mets.

Beltan reaches on a bunt single.
We got ducks on the pond people.


Again.

I'm getting the broadcast from Florida. There was a commercial for Marlins ticket packages. They don't say that going to Marlins games is "fun" or "exciting" or anything like that. They stress that it's "convenient."

No wonder the stands look so empty.

[duan]

you getting that on mlb.tv ? i keep getting "playlist format not recognised"

[Zvon]

Another error by the Marlins.

But the Mets 5th run is an earned one, a sac fly by Delgado.
Again, its Reyes that scores.

Whats the station?
I used to get alot of games thru "The Game Live" website but more and more thats not working for some reason.
I gave up trying weeks ago and I just read the game on Sportsline.

Id love to hear the game.

[Zvon]

Nolasco is pulled for a pinch hitter?

In the 2nd?

Yikes!
Another blow to my BB fantasy life.

[Zvon]

Chavez works Pinto for 8 pitches and reaches on a single.
Great at-bat.

Pinto wild pitches him to second.

Lets line up these Florida pitchers and go thru em all.
Pinto WALKS Trax--
ha.

[Zvon]

Another Marlins error--another run.
If anyone can color in what happened there please do.

6-0 Mets.

[TransMonk]

Jose Reyes grounds into a force out, third baseman Miguel Cabrera to second baseman Alfredo Amezaga. Endy Chavez scores. Steve Trachsel out at 2nd. Jose Reyes advances to 1st, on throwing error by second baseman Alfredo Amezaga.

[Zvon]

Thanx-
This is how Sportline writes it up:

Reyes reached on fielder's choice to third, Chavez to third, Trachsel out at second, Chavez scored on Amezaga's throwing error.
____
So the error was on the throw to first.

Reading the game leaves alot to be desired.

Florida is trying to give us this one.
Im not complaining.

I'm watching on television with my MLB Extra Innings package. It's on Sports South, or something like that.

[seawolf17]

I really enjoy SNY. I know that's small consolation to those of you not in the viewing area, but Gary, Keith, and Ron (who is off tonight) have really done a nice job this year. I just love Gary; he's just a bald guy with a great voice, which gives me inspiration that I, too, can acquire my dream job someday.

Thnx-..
Trachsel looks good thru 4, only allowing a run on a Cabrera RBI single.

Around the league:
In St Lou: Chase Utley is 0 for 2 so far in his bid to keep his hitting streak alive.

[Gwreck]

"Trying to keep cool with the air conditioning"?? You turn on the A/C, it's cool. Go outside, it's not. Easy!

[stevejrogers]

Cool as the other side of the pillow

Sorry, Stuart Scott-ism there....

I wish i could get it down here.

In a way Im okay with it-
cuz when the Mets are on TV I gotta watch and I would watch em all, and enjoy it.......
but hardly ever leave the house.
lol.

[Gwreck]

Gee, Willie, do you think it's time to get somebody up?

[Gwreck]

With Roberto Hernandez in the game, he becomes the first two-separate-stints-with-the-Mets player since...Roger Cedeno?

[stevejrogers]

Welcome back Bert, now get one out!

[Zvon]

Gwreck wrote: Gee, Willie, do you think it's time to get somebody up?

Maybe he wants to ensure it ends up a save situation.
*Z pulls out a tuft of hair*

Trax gives back 2, allowing solo shots to Ramirez and Cabrera.
His P.C. up to 93 and I have to assume this pause in the reading action means Willies goin to get him.

For some reason I think Fortunado went somewhere in between stints
