Tampa Bay destroying the Yankees 13-4. They hammered Kennedy early, and now are thumping Hawkins (0.2 IP, 6 runs) & Farnsworth late, wasting good middle relief between. Sorry Steve J. Rogers.

[nymr83]

Nice to see one of the Yankee hot shots get hammered early.

[soupcan]

Cliff Floyd hit his second homer of the season in that game to make it 7-4 Rays.

[seawolf17]

Suck it, Yankees.

I watched the Jays/Sox tilt on MLB Extra Innings.

I'm real close to ordering it, even without any extra HD games included in the cost.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

same here.

[metirish]

Me too, was just at my Cablevision account and nearly got it, here is the thing though, can I justify paying $159 when I won't be watching it when Mets games are on and I will be going to bed after those Mets games, apart from flipping through the games I just don't think I would get to watch it a lot.

[Guest themetfairy]

I find that we put on EI a lot when the Mets aren't on (after a day game or during an off day). In our household we definitely watch it enough to make it pay, but you know your viewing habits better.

I'd much rather watch an out of market game than almost anything on television these days.

[soupcan]

Decisions, decisions.

[soupcan]

Checked out a little of the Yankee postgame.

Ian Kennedy's got Austin Powers teeth.

ex-Met Mike Jacobs hit a walkoff HR for the Marlins to beat Pittsburgh tonight.

[DocTee]

Poor Pittsburgh!

That's my mindset also.

While we're waitig to see if we play today, lets see if anyone can answer this question (courtesy of This Week in Baseball, don't answer if you were watching.)
Ryan Zimmerman opened the Nationals' new park with a walk-off homerun. When was the last walkoff homerun at the first game in a new stadium and who hit it?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm afraid it's going to be Babe Ruth at Yankee Stadium in 1923.

Yankee Stadium seems to figure into everything these days.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Rays putting another beat down on the Yankees, at least so far.

Johnny Gomes, half of the coolest platoon in baseball with Cliff Floyd, has a three-run homer.

[Frayed Knot]

Gomes was having a tough day prior to that HR.
He thought he HRed earlier in the game and was already in his HR trot when the ball bounced off the top of the wall and he was tagged out jogging into 2nd. He then managed to somehow lose a fly ball in the sun while standing in the shade.

Cliff had an swesome Cliffy HR last night, a laser into the RF bleacher seats that could have killed any fan who wasn't alert.

Nope. Dante Bichette at Coors Field (off The Mets' Mike remlinger in the 14th inning.)

[nymr83]

Mike Jacobs hit a grand slam tonight after a walkoff homer yesterday, anyone regret that trade yet?

[Fman99]

I've been watching the Angels/Rangers tilt on MLB EI. Jered Weaver's got some filthy stuff.

Only when he hits a grand slam the day after hitting a walkoff home run.

[Fman99]

Mariners bullpen blows 9th inning lead without Putz in there and costs King Felix (and my best fantasy team) the win today.

[nymr83]

Putz went on the DL with a rib injury. They're saying 2-3 weeks.

Boo! Fantasy talk in the main forum.

BOOOOO!

Holy shit the Tigers are getting their asses handed to them again and are on their way to an 0-6 start on the eve of a trip to Boston.

[metirish]

Makes the Mets 2 - 3 start look great , what the hell is happening up there?

[Guest Triple Dee]

The Best Line-Up in Baseball� is averaging 2.5 runs scored a game.

[Guest AG/DC]

Who is the best lineup?
