PSIGT, 03/15, Red Sox at Mets (ooh, a night game)

[Guest KC]

CAESAR
Ha! who calls?

CASCA
Bid every noise be still: peace yet again!

CAESAR
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.

Soothsayer
Beware the ides of March.

CAESAR
What man is that?

BRUTUS
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

CAESAR
Set him before me; let me see his face.

CASSIUS
Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.

CAESAR
What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.

Soothsayer
Beware the ides of March.

CAESAR
He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.

[Guest KC]

$6 seats going for $100 in the parking lot?

Beckett vs. Perez.

[Guest KC]

Highlight of first inning? Perez K's both Ortiz and Manmirez (Keith thinks
he's dropped a lot of weight, I think he dropped the needles) and made them
both look a little foolish.

I doubt I'll keep this up, but wanted to start one ...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Three straight Ks for Perez.

[Guest GYC]

Perez is looking pretty damn good so far.

[Guest GYC]

Struck out Ortiz again, 6 through 3 and 1/3.

[Guest GYC]

Now he got Ramirez down looking on a 3-2 pitch. 7 through 4 innings, including Ortiz and Manny back to back twice.

Also, no walks. Looking really good.

And Manny looks really thin, at least compared to past years.

[Guest GYC]

Not to be a post whore with my fourth consecutive post, but Perez's slider is sexy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gets Murphy with one out and a runner on third.

Yeep, what an encouraging start this is.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Strange, but Terry Francona is apparently sending his pitcher up there with instructions not to swing. Perez fans him for the second time (six pitches total).

Nine Ks through five, though two of them were gimmes. Go, Ollie!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pedro just came into the dugout. Got a big hug from Rickey Henderson.

[Guest GYC]

Keith lobbying for Wright to not bat second, and I agree with him.

[Guest Edgy DC]

One argument against forcing the issue is that the Mets have a handful of potential #2s among their top prospects.

On the other hand, asking Wright changing his approach may work.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I would've understood Olvier Perez better there if he spoke in English.

Pedro Feliciano on for the Mets.

[Guest GYC]

Julio Franco sighting!

First pitch, hits it pretty well to right/right-centerish for a semi-difficult catch.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Drivng the ball with authority.

[Guest GYC]

And he remains in the game at 3rd. Good sign for his wrist.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Not to damperize a really encouraging pitching night, but we really oughta be scoring more.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Your baby has a wet blankie.

You.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Alberto Castillo?!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

First time I've seen The Show in a Met joisey. He's got an 'S' tucked in each armpit.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yup.

Keith Hernandez is on the wagon.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ex-Mets are everywhere and helping to load the bases. Now Schoeneweiss has a baserunner under each armpit.

[Guest KC]

Castro with a dinger!

Two pages for a ST game ... I think we're ready.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Castro goes kablamm! and Robs Sand-Guy of a save-opp.

Good for Keith for not taking his cue to whitewash Kuhn's legacy.

Kuhn directly succeeded Eckert? Talk about your empty suits.

[Guest GYC]

Billy Wagner nearly gets killed. I nearly have a heart failure.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's looking like 2006. Lefties can't do anything with Wagner. Righty takes his head off.

[Guest GYC]

It just wouldn't be a Billy Wagner 4-run lead without driving me crazy.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Yup.
