[nymr83]

so willie is willing to "diss" delgado by moving him down to 6th but is unwilling to do the same by continuing the successful experiment of putting Castillo 8th?

[Fman99]

How or why is Milledge wearing number 42? It's not Jackie Robinson day anymore. WTF?

[Guest Triple Dee]

They're retiring the number in the new Washington ballpark tonight.

[metirish]

I hope one of our crew make their way down behind home plate and beat the shit out of the wanker wearing the Yankee cap and the dumb shades.....

[Guest Triple Dee]

Maybe they did, because he's wearing a Nats cap now.

I just saw that , nice work guys.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pathetic.

[Gwreck]

Anyone else notice that the camera angles are all off on the SNY broadcast? All the infield shots are WAY too high.

[Guest KC]

The Mets' bat angles are off too.

I know and the team sucks too.

[Guest Triple Dee]

Reyes swings at the first pitch, after Redding walks the 8th and 9th hitters.

I was gonna remark I couldn't make out the arc of cut-out grass to the inside of first base.

Watching the Mets hit these days is excruciating. Would somebody please bash one off the fence?

[seawolf17]

Hagin and Howie are saying that their both is as high as the upper deck is at Shea... I wonder if the camera wells are in weird locations also. I don't remember weird angles during the ESPN season opener, though.

[metirish]

Not to jump on the bandwagon here but when Church made that bare handed catch SNY had one replay at an odd angle , at least I wondered at the time why they didn't show it from other angles because it looked like the ball skipped on the grass.

[Guest Grote15]

Hi! It's the ever cheerful grote15....I got slammed in spring training for for suggestion Pagan might be the best option in LF..well..well.

A team takes on the character of their manager.

If Ray Walston in Fast Times at Ridgemont High had the Mets in his classroom he would still yell his classic line " Are you all on dope!"

I am certainly not the only one that who wanted Willie's ass out of here pre-swoon 2007, post swoon 2007 and 2008.

Carlos Delgado..Time waits for no mans bat speed.

Now lets win some games in and send Shea out in style

[Frayed Knot]

Our last 4 runs now over 3 consecutive games were all knocked in via infield grounders: 3 GOs plus an infield single

[Guest KC]

Ray King on in the sixth.

C'mon ... tell me that doesn't make you laugh out loud a little in a tie ballgame.

Ray King. Bring him on NOW!!!

[Guest KC]

Well, we got an infield hit off him already!

I edited, I don't know why I put RBI.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Plus another

[Frayed Knot]

Now our last [u:3f288766b9]Five[/u:3f288766b9] runs are courtesy of infield grounders

[Guest Triple Dee]

The alternative is to rely on the opposition to throw it out of the infield.

[nymr83]

its now 4-2 Mets thanks to another bad play by the nats (they're calling this one a hit)

[Farmer Ted]

Ray King is wearing #42??? Did he grab the Jackie jersey by mistake?

[Guest KC]

Squib city, again.

[Frayed Knot]

SIX

[nymr83]

Pagan steals 2nd. Pagan steals 3rd.

[Theoldmole]

Nats were playing away on Jackie night, so they're making up for it tonight with Jackie lite.

[Guest KC]

This is funny, 5-2.

Watch Santana go yard off King.

[Theoldmole]

We don't have to give back the runs that score on squibs.
