Matsui's homecoming, ruint.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Three-run homer for Valentin.

Until Green's homer on Friday night against Atlanta, I had not seen a Met hit a home run. (They always homered when I was away from the TV.)

Now I've seen two by Green and one by Valentin. (Hey! Their names rhyme!)

I wouldn't be surprised if he went on the DL just to avoid NYC...

[Guest Edgy DC]

I would.

HEY! LOOK! BIG SHEA!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let's get some action. Mets up 4-0 midway through the fifth, the top half of which ends on a nice running catch in foul ground by the Green Machine.

[TransMonk]

This mid-inning Pac-Man graphic on MLB.TV is horrible. Where's Tom Petty?

[metirish]

Liking Big Shea up top....vintage Shea to boot.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Why are there YES Yankees commercials on SNY during Mets games?

Does YES show SNY commercials?

Word.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Marlins beating the Braves 8-3, giving us a good shot to re-claim first tonight. Bring him in, Jose.

Never seen YES show them,it's like SNY can't show us enough times that they cover all NY soprts...OK we fucking get it...

[TransMonk]

Alou stranded after a lead off double. Even with a 3 run lead, I hate when that happens.

[Guest Edgy DC]

They fail to score the leadoff doubler, in part because they sent Maine out to bat. Now he returns to pitch the seventh, with 88 pitches under his belt.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Makes Barmes look stupid as he gets the hat-trick on him.

That young man is lost. My impression is that he rushes into the batter's box and the pitcher has him off-balance the whole at-bat.

Maine does the seventh on six pitches and I'm pretty certain he'll see an eighth.

A ninth is unlikely unless the Mets put this out of save range though.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bob Keppell finally gets to Shea.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Welcome to 2007, Carlos!

David?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Shea played somebody's cover of the Violent Femmes' "Gone Daddy Gone" for that homer.

Wright walks on four. Nothng wrong with his walk rate.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Moses parted the Red Sea.

Moises parted the Rockies infield. He's 3-3.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey-Zeus, Poolers. I'm looking like a solo act.

They did? Damn...I missed that. Wonder who did the cover of that.

I'm telling you, until he hits a HR this season, I will refer to him as David Wrong.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey a partner.

Delgado's got some graphic commentary due to him:

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two out in the eighth, he fans Atkins on his 104th pitch.

I'm rooting for the complete game. I don't think I'm getting it, though.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two singles and he gets the hook.

Big ovation as his 7 2/3 is a 2007 high for a Metly workday.

Checking iTunes, it sounds like the cover-artist is Gnarls Barkley. Trashmonkeys also have a version listed.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Burgos on in the ninth.

Walks the first guy, but gives Barmes the Golden Sombrero. Yike.

[metirish]

Great outing by Maine,read the other day he has asthma,I imagine it must be tough to toe the rubber when it's humid.

Gracias!

I knew Burgos was going to walk him.....

[Batty31]

UNGA BUNGA...bases loaded!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Go Boogers go.
