Let's kick some Cardinal tail.

[Guest KC]

This is going to be the longest two hours of the season. And if any Yankee
news breaks between now and then, no matter how earth shattering, of grave
importance, or tragic, I'm a gonna ....

[Theoldmole]

Can we put salt on it?

[metirish]

I can't wait, after six years I get to shout on the Mets for only the second time in my life....

Let's Go Mets

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Irish - what does that mean?

[metirish]

Oh I should have said for only the second time as a Mets fan I get to root for them in the postseason.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Gotcha.

[Guest KC]

You are the driver
You own the road
You are the fire
Go on EXPLODE

You've got desire
So let it out
You've got the power
Stand up and SHOUT

Oh my GOD did I just get chills hearing Bob Murphy like that!!!

[Zvon]

wow----They used Murphs voice.
I had goosebumps.
That was excellent.

[metirish]

Very nice tribute on FOX to Bob Murphy and Jack Buck....

[Valadius]

I was like, HOLY CRAP, he's back from the dead. It sounded like he was RIGHT THERE.

[Zvon]

="Valadius"]I was like, HOLY CRAP, he's back from the dead. It sounded like he was RIGHT THERE.

I was so caught up in it my first thought was how did they get him to say that stuff?
lol--that was pretty classic.

[metirish]

Luis Gonzalez in the booth, better than Lou I suppose.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Play Ball!!!!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

In a situation like this, I wouldn't throw a pitch within 3-4 inches of the plate. Don't pitch to him unless you have to. I make someone else beat me if I'm Willie.

[Zvon]

Way to start things off!

1-2-3 inning.

[Valadius]

Let's get it started!

It's hard to think of anyone worse than Lou.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Darn - I thought that Beltran's ball was going to carry

0-0 after one.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Glavine looks pretty sharp early. Weaver's struggling with his control a little, but Reyes & LoDuca can't hold up and take bad swings at bad pitches.

I though Beltran had that one, but it looks like he got jammed a little.

Let's Go Mets!

[metirish]

I feel so much better now after Jay-Z tried to flog me a notebook computer....must suck to be so rich.

[Valadius]

Let's go D-Wright!

I thought it was way out, which I think is a measure of how amped I am.

Let's get a little O going here.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Eckstein throws like a girl.

[Valadius]

Ooh boy. Here's Cliffy.

[Valadius]

Yeah David, don't step over the bag.
