Dickshot, do you have cable? Ours is out.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Yes, TimeWarner. No trouble.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Give me more action. Astros without a humdy--humdy through three.

The only reason I go to the gym these days is to catch national broadcasts. Only reason I go to the bar also, on the other hand.

[Guest Edgy DC]

BAKOOM!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Ralph telling of forgotten Met mascot Homer the Dog.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bam, I'm off to the gym to watch this shit live.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

You missed back-to-back double action!

Thanks. Our internet is fine but somehow all the TV channels are out. Wondered if it was a wide-area system outage 's all.

[Zvon]

wild pitch and Mets plate their third run

Castillo walked, stole second, 3rd on Wrights ground out, and plate on WP.

Thats manufacturing.

3--0

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hey, I just checked in and Glavine has a no-hitter through five!

(Mets lead 3-0)

Great job pal.

Ssshhhhh.....

Ransom singles to lead off the 6th.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, you can all turn off the recording devices now.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Well, that didn't take long.

[Zvon]

Glavine makes quick work of it: double play-line out.

Inning ovah!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Glavine gives up the single to Ransom, then gets a ground ball by the catcher for the double play. One pitch takes care of the pitcher. Glavine has only thrown 69 pitches in the six innings of work.

[Zvon]

Mets go harmlessly in their half of the 6th.

[Zvon]

Glavine with a nice 1-2-3 7th, tho Berkman almost reached him with a loooong fly out to right to end the inning.

[Zvon]

Reyes and Wright ground out to third sandwiching a Castillo strikeout and it remains:

3-0 Mets

[Zvon]

Glavine still on in the 8th, and he has faced the minimum amount of batters thru 7.


Carlos Lee strokes a single to lead off the 8th.

Lets get that DP and keep thing in order.

[Zvon]

Loretta follows with a single.

Ty Wigginton has a chance to cancel out some nice Met memories here.

[Zvon]

But he wont be doing that against Glavine, who's done for the day.

Heilman will come on.

[Zvon]

Wiggy only is able to cancel out one Met memory with an RBI single.

Come on Aaron.

GeTeRdUn

[Zvon]

Heilman with a BIG strikeout of Asstro pinch hitter Luke Warm Scott.

[Zvon]

And then he Ks Munson for out # 2!!!!!!

we can get out of this with minimal damage.

*crosses fingers

[Zvon]

YES!!!!!!!!!

Aaron strikesout pinch hitter Lamb to get out of it!!!

Heilman GETSitDONE!

[Frayed Knot]

Nice "save" by Heilman -- A bloop then 3 straight Ks

A bit of a quick hook for Glavine if you ask me. You wouldn't think he was tired and the final hit which knocked him out was a soft bloop ... but I can't complain about the outcome.
