Reyes takes one deep down the right field line.

[metirish]

Poor keith sounds exasperated with the Reyes dance routine.

Beltran....

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

KA-SPLAMMMM!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

This is really starting to be fun as Beltran double dips with another home run to right.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

That was pure crushage.

[nymr83]

Beltran with his 2nd HR of the game!

The Mets are showing the world champions who is goig to be the class of the NL this year!

Mets looking nice again tonight, and I'm happy to see the power from Beltran.

I was grumbling to myself about Reyes flying out in his first few at bats, but it's hard to complain after his homer. Still, I wonder if he's been gunning for a dinger all game. It's like he was out to get Looper.

Not that I can blame him. I loved Loop his first year, but that second year was painful. I don't personally value pitchers trying through pain on it's own--they have to be effective at the same time, and he wasn't. Of course, he shouldn't have remained our closer while he was struggling, and that's not Loop's fault, but still . . .

Maine's sharp tonight, and it looked like he had an intelligent game plan--mostly fastballs to start, then working in the slider and that new change of his, which has looked a'ight so far.

Keep it up, boys!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

At least Preston didn't get hit in the head.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Maine done after 7 scoreless. I guess they want Burgos to get two innings.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Oomph.

Well, uh.

At least it didn't hit him in the head.

[nymr83]

haha, its turning into a laugher!

and just as i'm typing reyes drives in two more.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Seeing as Burgos was coming in, that was a relief.

God the Cardinals suck. 9-zip!

[Theoldmole]

The hits just keep on coming.

[metirish]

That's a brutal outfield they have,few things are sweeter than seeing LaRussa pissed in the dugout.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Damn, the Cardinals are just imploding. Their outfield defense in this series has been embarrassing.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Burgos just embarrassed Molina, and I have no sympathy for him.

[metirish]

I love watching a pitcher with a nasty curveball,and Sele's is nasty.

[Frayed Knot]

Milledge, Franco, Burgos & now Sele poke their heads up for the first time tonight.
Me thinks that leaves Castro as the only player not to appear so far.

One of the Newsday writers used to track every year the last player who was on a ML roster from the very beginning to get in a game. He'd make a note of it whenever the last guy got off the bench.

Easley?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Sele gets Pujols looking with a 3-2 curve ball. Pujols glares at him for having thrown a curve in a blow out. I guess he expects people to just put it on a tee for him.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'm back, Bitches

[metirish]

Great to see the auld fella early doors.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm just sitting down. How'd things go tonight?
