Okay lets hope Mark Mulder forgets Mak Modah!

[stevejrogers]

Long story short, its from a national radio sports talk show. Somehow Guillermo Mota also is involved with the bit as well, so if Mota and Mulder are in the game at the same time...

Actually I HOPE they aren't in the game at the same time =

OE: Hey I'm Gil! Now represented by CMG!

[stevejrogers]

Vamos Carlos, Reyes scores

[stevejrogers]

Heh! Woodward makes sure Mulder pays for walking Wright to face him with a 3 Ribbie double!

[Zvon]

="SteveJRogers"] OE: Hey I'm Gil! Now represented by CMG!

There really should be an official CPF Gil avatar.
Stengel too.

Mets draw 1st blood tonight-
A Reyes single, Beltran walk and Delgado double plates the first run of the game.

AND WOODY CLEARS THE BASES WITH A 3 RBI DOUBLE!

4-0 Mets and the first inning isnt even over.

[stevejrogers]

Man, THIS Mulder might be doing better at this point

[Zvon]

Yep-
the truth is in here.

[seawolf17]

Now THIS is the Chris Woodward we've been waiting for for five months as he makes a nice twisting over the shoulder catch in short right field to end the top of the second.

WR: "Well, Chris, we'll let you play one more, but Jose's starting tomorrow."
CW: "Oh yeah? Watch this."

[seawolf17]

Jose, JoseJoseJose bunts his way on and immediately steals his 51st base. Watch out, Roger.

edit: I put "Mookie" instead of Roger. My bad.

[stevejrogers]

You think people would have had enough of Reyes' bunting
Well I look around and I see it isn't so
Seems like Reyes loves to get hits by bunting
Whats wrong with that
He'd like to know
Cause here he goes
AGAIN!

[stevejrogers]

Wright here, Wright NOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!
No other place I'd rather be...

[stevejrogers]

Ah well...

Tip hat to Mr. Rolen

BTW, Viz was a pickup after being released by the Giants earlier in the year, Eckstein to the DL

Good song.

Singles by Reyes and LoDuca arent capitolized upon.

They are stranded as Belran,Delgado, and Wright (FC) are set down by Spooky Mulder.

[stevejrogers]

7112 games, and counting...

I wonder if thats anywhere close to the actual record for going the most amount of games without a no-hitter being thrown for your team. Maybe it is, 45 years, that would be a long stretch either way (inbetween or getting your first)

[Zvon]

="SteveJRogers"] BTW, Viz was a pickup after being released by the Giants earlier in the year, Eckstein to the DL

...and they threw him right out there too.
They gotta miss Eck.

A happy birthday goes out to Mr Julio Franco- 48 years young today.
There are 104 players in major league baseball who were not yet born when Mr Franco played in his 1st MLB game.

[seawolf17]

Seawolf here, along with Zvon and SteveRogers here in the standard three-man booth for the IGT.

Beautiful night for a ballgame, isnt it Wolfy?

lol

[seawolf17]

That it is, Z, as Trax walks the bases full for Pujols. And you hate to see that happen.

[Zvon]

Trax with a smooth 1st two innings, but we have bases loaded, 0 out here in the 3rd and that animal Pujols up.

[Zvon]

I dont think that animal should have any rights.

[seawolf17]

Boy, it's just astounding how this guy will make you pay every single time. 4-2 Good Guys.

Yep--Pujols singles in 2.

Beltrans gonna have to step it up again because the MVP race hangs in the balance.

[Guest KC]

Why baseball is an interesting game, reason #103:

Walking the pitcher with a four run lead with four balls makes any fan who
has seen a lot of baseball games roll their eyes in disgust and know that bad
things are likely going to come of it.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Ozzie Smith is in the booth. D-Dad thinks it's weird that I recognize his voice from his appearance on The Simpsons.

You know, people will say when the Mets took off it was really Wright who was the MVP while Beltran kicked it into high gear while Wright has been slumping!

And wheres the love for Ryan Howard? If the Phils sneak in, hey why not?

No, that was Bob Benelict!

(Reference to DHL Hometown Heroes radio ad where Ozzie makes no attempt to hide his voice yet uses a peusdeynom while pimping himself to win the Cardinals HH award)

[seawolf17]

Jose, JoseJoseJose... HOME RUN hitter!

[Zvon]

="SteveJRogers"] And wheres the love for Ryan Howard? If the Phils sneak in, hey why not?

Even if they dont make it he has a chance.
If votes get split up above he might just fall through the cracks.
Having a monster year, even with all those Ks.

KABOOM! REYES

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Ole Jose!



7-2 Mets after 3!
