I'm glued to the TV awaiting Ken Rosenthal's Pedro update.

[Guest KC]

I'm watching the Rays paste the Skanks again.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Maine picking up where he left off.

[nymr83]

Maine is getting squeezed big time.

[nymr83]

Prado completely screw up an easy turn on the double-play ball, the mets tie it at 1.

[Elster88]

I forgot how much I hate the chop.

[Frayed Knot]

I think FOX's radar gun in on steroids

[Guest Triple Dee]

I forgot how much I hate Tim McCarver.

I agree. I'll add Joe Buck, Tim McCarver and player interviews during the game to that list.

And yes, the FOX radar gun does appear to be juiced.

[TransMonk]

The rain and Maine ruining my weekend thus far.

The Mets O needs to chip away at Hudson to get to that bullpen.

They kept clocking Zumaya at something like a consistant 103 during the 2006 playoffs.

[nymr83]

I know its only the 5th inning but pulling Maine for the punch-hitter here is the right move. 2nd and 3rd 1 out for Brady Clark!

[nymr83]

Clark HBP it jose jose jose with the bases loaded!!

[nymr83]

THAT BALL WAS NOT CAUGHT, IT WAS FUCKING TRAPPED!!!!

[Zvon]

awwwwwwww,we wuz robbed!!!

[Frayed Knot]

MUTHA-FUCKA THAT WAS TRAPPED!!!!

[bmfc1]

Are you fi'in kidding me?

[TransMonk]

Biggest blown call I've ever seen.

[nymr83]

oh my god they are reversing the call???

i guess they'll move everyone up one base, even though pagan would clearly have s cored as well, still its better than the blown call!

[bmfc1]

How can I get mad when umps at my kids games screw up when these clowns, making six figures a year, screw up night after night (Beltran the other night and now this)?

[TransMonk]

Overturned...good for blue. We still potentially lose a run that would have scored.

[Frayed Knot]

I'm not sure what kind of leeway the umps have to reverse judgement calls like that.
You run into a whole slew of factors that can't simply be righted by pretending the correct call was made in the first place.

It's one of the main reasons why replay rules never work as smoothly in practice as they do in theory.

really.
They made a mess out of that.
What a rip.

[Frayed Knot]

I'll take it, but I can also understand why the Braves would be pissed off too.
One runner follows the umps call while the other ignores it and passes a runner in front of him and both wind up getting awarded their next base.

[nymr83]

Castillo bring one home on a groundout... lets go Wright!

[nymr83]

damn. Wright grounds out to end it, I know the Mets got another run after the whole incident, but they really let the Braves off the hook there, gotta take advantage of these situations and tie the game up.

[TransMonk]

Well, that wacky inning makes it a game again.

Time for the bullpen to shine.

[Frayed Knot]

Would have been nice if we could have made a bigger mess out of that inning after the reversal.
One more hit breaks that puppy wide open.

[nymr83]

1-2-3 go the Braves, i've missed Joe Smith pitching.
