IGT 04/08 OPENING DAY AT SHEA TODAY! HOORAY!

[Valadius]

I can picture Bob Murphy calling the game up in heaven.

[Guest AG/DC]

SHOUT BAMALAMA!

[seawolf17]

Effin' A, Mets. Did you see the story on SNY the other day about the Opening Day party at some bar, with all the crazy die-hard Mets fans there? Not a single fucking black hat in the bunch. Every person they showed had the same fitted blue cap. No black, no pink, no green, no white. Blue, with the orange interlocking NY. Is it so fucking hard to keep one hat? Really?

[Guest Triple Dee]

Is it just me or does Castillo look like he has a permanent limp?

Unfortunately I can't get that broadcast. I'm making do, quite nicely, with Howie and Wayne.

I didn't, but I think that should be clipped and sent to the Mets along with a version of this post. Send it to www.bantheblack.com as well.

Sounds like Wright hit one deep, a potential two-run homer that died at the warning track.

Still scoreless, Phillies batting in the second.

[Zvon]

Im getting the Phillies local feed, still very much free public access.

[Benjamin Grimm]

As Howie's talking about how well Delgado does against Moyer, Carlos launches one out of the park.

[nymr83]

CARLOS DELGADO GOES KABOOM!!

[Valadius]

[Zvon]

Pagan almost makes it back to back.
Falls short to the track in left center.

[Guest AG/DC]

I hope Delgado pays for all those decorative porcelain logos he breaks.

[seawolf17]

Always liked that Delgado kid.

[Valadius]

For all those who've doubted Delgado, he's currently hitting at .381.

[Zvon]

Chase pulls off the 4-3 DP.

Tags Church (hit by pitch) and tosses to 1st.

We aren't we wearing the pinstripes?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned.

Really nice to see him pull that out.

Dude has 21 ABs. Let's relax a bit.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, he's proven that he's still capable of having a good week.

We'll need more than that from him. Hopefully we'll get it, but I don't think he'll get in the neighborhood of 38 home runs again.

[Guest Triple Dee]

Fugly number font on Phillies unis.

[metsmarathon]

can anyone help me out with this play...

2nd inning:
"Pedro Feliz grounds into unassisted double play, first baseman Carlos Delgado. Jayson Werth out at 2nd. Two out."

what happened there?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Three innings gone already. Game's moving briskly.

[Zvon]

Local rag covering yesterdays Phils win vs Cincinnati.
It doesn't say Phils beat Reds or anything like that.

It says:

BURRELL'S HRs
HELP PHILLIES
PREP FOR METS

I think that shows you how the locals feel about this rivalry.

Feliz grounded into double play, out at first, Werth out at second.

Guess that doesn't answer your question,lol.

I dunno, I was AFTV at the time.

Feliz hit a liner that got to delgado on one hop, delgado stepped on the bag and the tagged Werth (who i guess is out at 2nd because he was attempting to advance as oppose to diving back to first?)

[Guest AG/DC]

He's out "at second" because first was already attained.

[Zvon]

Perez gets Howard, who I have dubbed "The Bigger Hurt", on that nasty slow curve. STRIKE 3-YOUR OUTTA THERE.

[metsmarathon]

ok, that makes sense to me. thanks.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Howie & Hagin impressed with Delgado's homer. Just heard my first Wayne Hagin inning and say... um. Didn;t suck at least.

Woulda been nice if the top of the order gave him something to call.

[Zvon]

oooo--big nasty collision between Victorino and Werth chasing down Wrights drive to the gap in right center.
