I'm watching on ESPN instead of EI because of the EI. Right away: the last out of last season; idiot Rick Sutcliffe brings up Molina's homer; and then, a bright light: Erin Andrews--but too much of a close up. We could only see the face. Go wide, ESPN!

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, server speed is back up. Let's get this shit goin'. One-one in the sixth.

[Elster88]

Feliciano comes in bases loaded, 2 out, gets 'im out.

[Elster88]

Mets picked off twice tonight. WTF

[Guest Edgy DC]

Not that Wright wasn't dumb (Darling saw that coming), but I thought the replay shows the pitcher was coming to the plate.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

What we need here is another Green-Maroth mismatch. Guh.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Hats off to Maroth, who has to have a big middle finger pointed to Motown tonight.

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

Is it me or have the Mets been wearing the classic unis more often lately?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Transmonk is keeping score at home I believe. Tonight's get-up is not classic (whites not pinstripes) but the all-blue caps really make the look. The blue-black caps are just awful.

So Taguchi can't HR off a blue-capped Wagner. It just can't be done.

Whoops. I swear from the little MLB.TV screen I thought they were pinstriped.

Still, snow whites and blue caps is a look I can get behind.

Wagner shows Taguchi who is boss with a nasty slider in the dirt for strike three. Reyes walk off here?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Let's not waste a nice night of pitching and/or Wright-Delgado-LoDuca this time.

End. It. NOW!!!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two perfect from Wagner is good noos.

Crazy thought I can't shake loose is that I'd bet Transmonk's book would show the Mets record as being far superior with Hernandez in the booth than without him.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Do you think Aaron Heilman really likes the Clash?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Complete Control.

[Frayed Knot]

Let's kick this Springer guy's ass

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

WHAM!

[Frayed Knot]

As you wish !

[Guest Edgy DC]

OH, Greenie!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cool, while he waits for Kevin Burkhardt or whoever to get his mic, he tosses his gloves and sweatbands to the fanzies.

[Frayed Knot]

You know it's a nice shot when Jose's shirt is untucked before the ball even lands.






* Am I really Roger McDowell or is this some kind of practical joke?

Do all lefties balk or is that just a cliche?

Yes, actually. He talked about it last year I think.

Green = always throws the batting gloves into the stand after a homer. Glad to see that a walk-off is no difference.

Mets are BACK.

Careful! 3 hits today.

[Zvon]

Didnt know this was on ESPN til the last minute.

Still stayed away cuz I was starting to think I was a jinx on the team.
Ill have to actually check my record this season, but I dont remember any wins while sharing views here during a game. *sob*.

And that last stretch--ugh.
Lets hope this June swoon went bang zoom to the moon.
(i dont know what that means but i typed it anyway ^)
