And wearing the wrong season's uni's!

I don't bring him in here. But I'm not the manager.

Thats why I went with the ambiguous view.
...the kid will learn.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Wouldn't mind seeing one get loose and hit Speizio in the mouth.

Using this redneck with a 5-run lead is a little much, willie.

[stevejrogers]

Yeah but I have that nice widescreen thing going

Fat Ass with another hit against us!

Taguchi on deck as well...

Hmmm. I meant to say I haven't seen it work before. Not sure how Edgy knew what I meant. He's a perceptive one.

I like your Math.

[Guest cooby]

Who are you calling Fat Ass, and why?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

G'night, folks!

It's fun to be able to do this again.

Might have something to do with this>

[Zvon]

Great game my Met friends.

[Guest holychicken]

How can I be so nervous with a 4 run lead in the 9th on the first day of the season?

Thankfully, we have a day off tomorrow.

Mets

Best record in the league.

[Guest GYC]

It feels so good to be back.

[Zvon]

[Gwreck]

Nice game.

In a rare moment of making a good point, putting in Wagner was probably ok with the off day tomorrow. Otherwise I probably would've gone with Burgos.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Ah, baseball. How sweet it is!

Great game! Lots of singles and lots of great defense. Not exactly what I'm expecting for the rest of the season, but if this is the result most of the time, I'll take it.

On to the next!

[Lundy]

Good to see offensive contributions from Alou and Green, tow guys who had a less than stellar spring.

A solid defensive game, with gems from Alou, Beltran with the throw to nail Eckstein at the plate, and a nice stop from Valentin to start a double play.

Even with a five run lead, Wagner makes it interesting. Glad we didn't get to Pujols in the ninth.

I know that Peter Gammons had some health problems last year; it was good to see him seemingly back at full strength.

[Zvon]

Now they are going to show The Natural.

This has been a perfect night.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

The defense was outstanding.

LaGenius hardly covered himself in glory: Two runners out between 3rd and home is pukeworthy. If I'm him I go take a nap in my car

[DocTee]

Zvon, good to see you again.

Baseball, great to see you again!

Seaver: hail!
