[Guest Edgy DC]

Blacked me the heck out.

[metirish]

Joe Morgan - "Jon,one of the reasons the Cubs are so good is that they brought in new players over the off season,Soriano,Lilly...."..

[metirish]

Willie sporting the Mets arm sling to go with his Mets watch.

[Zvon]

ugh-Alou swings at junk.

[metirish]

Men on first and third with two out for Alou,looked terrible getting struck out.

Miller talking like Marquis and Glavine were great buddies in Atlanta,but didn't they have a fallen out,at least in the eyes of Marquis?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gameday practically had a tin can icon standing in for that pitch.

Feck it. I'm heading to a bar to watch me some ESPN history.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Both the Mets and Glavine need this win tonight. I would like to see some early scoring by the good guys.

Great idea,have fun.

[Zvon]

Woohoo.
Crazy stealing second with 2 out and pitcher up pays off as Glav drives in Millidge with a single up the middle.

mets up, 1-0.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice highlight of Glavine skulling Bonds.

Just got back from Chicago.

My Mets-in-person-winless streak continues, but it's always a thrill to see the boys in person.

[Gwreck]

I was seriously considering keeping track of all the inaccurate and/or stupid things said by Miller and Morgan tonight.

Most recently: "Soriano hit 40 homers playing in RFK stadium" (Actually, Jon, he played half his games there, and hit fewer than half his homers there).

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

My 10-year-old just said (wishfully) "Oscar the Cat is in the Cubs' dugout!"

[Zvon]

WHOA

Soriano goes down!
Rally never happens!

BIG BIG BIG

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Yikes (if you're a Cubs fan)

[Gwreck]

That's gonna be 6 weeks. At least.

Wow! She was right!

They r saying it could be just a cramp, and I can see that.
But ive never had a cramp like that while in motion. Just after maybe.

If hes down for any period of time this is huge.
Esp fantasy baseball wise (hes on my bros team and we are in a seesaw battle this week.He has Soriano going tonight, I have 3rd basebman Ramirez)

[Zvon]

I figured letting loDuke outta the gate tonight was good, and his bat would be fresh and productive.
Not as of yet. 0-2, weak grounders both.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Bad break for Soiano and the Cubs. That looked like a pretty bad quad blowout.

Upon edit: Glad to hear that it may have just been a cramp.

[Zvon]

think they'll try the 2 out pitcher up steal again?

[Zvon]

well, this was just speculation from the booth,so....

But the way he continued to run and just lifted that leg made me think maybe they are rignt. Ever have the muscle turn over like a twisted pretzel in there.
Ouch.

Official word just in: Quad pull.

[Gwreck]

Interestingly, Willie revealed during his in-game interview with Morgan and Miller that Lastings actually had the red light there when he stole with Glavine up.

[Gwreck]

Morgan just said that Luis Castillo had been playing his whole career in the American League and therefore was unfamiliar with Wrigley.

Right, Joe. Except the 7 years he played with Florida. You might recall the two world series champion teams he was on.

very interesting. And disturbing.
Glad it worked out

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Castillo grabs his second wind blown pop up of the evening. Joe Morgan promptly misinforms the viewing audience that Castillo had played his entire career in the American League, so he isn't familiar with the winds at Wrigley. Jon Miller, of course, just follows along on the same stream of unconsciousness by adding that Castillo spent most of his time playing in the Metrodome so he isn't accustomed to Wrigley. According to Morgan, the winds always bring high pop ups down the right field line back toward the field of play.

Morons.

hell, you KNOW Rickey Henderson is over there saying "Rickey thinks you can make it...GO!"

[Frayed Knot]

Nice tag by little Luis ... caught Pagan napping there.

[Frayed Knot]

and it winds up stealing a run !!
