IGT 5/4 - Mets/DBacks

[Zvon]

That WAS wierd. Like Darling said, how does that ball not have the momentum to continue and bounce over?

Like the "ball on the wall" back in '73.

This might be a break for the Mets tho....thats how Im gonna spin it anyway.

2-1 Mets after 4 complete.

[Guest AG/DC]

The wall is at a goofy angle, and the top edge of walls produce funny angles.

Snyder should have gone on that wild pitch.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Great play by SS Ojeda to get Castillo on a grounder up the middle. Damn it!

[Zvon]

Reyes Ks.

He tosses everything not sewn on him,lol.

Hey, I like to see that kind of fire but if that helmet came up and hit him in the head we'd be in trouble.

Note to Reyes: Throw equipment AWAY from your body please. Far away.

[Zvon]

YIKES.

Augie doggie with another hit.

Should we trade Reyes for him straight up?
Steve?

Seriously tho, go get him and stick him at 2nd base Omar.

[Guest KC]

On that odd triple off the top of the wall that Alou had to chase into center
I noticed that Beltran was no where in the picture. Was he picking his nose
or something?

[Zvon]

AWWWOH!

I missed foul pop opportunity.
Shudda been caught.
Ill blame Schnied...(Wright shudda had it,lol)

All game predictions are officially off.

The fact that Alou caught up with that ball before Beltran was more shocking to me than the bounce off the wall.

John McCain at the game.

[Guest AG/DC]

The ball wans't a homer, plain and simple.

[Zvon]

McCain chats and possibly widens the supposed generation gap between him and some voters when he says Ted Williams was his boyhood hero and the D'backs are "2 inches" from tying this game up.

[Guest AG/DC]

This generation has finally switched to the metric system?

[bmfc1]

I'm watching on TBS... did I miss a McCain interview?

[Benjamin Grimm]

If anyone courts the "metric system" vote, they'll have about 15 votes in their pocket.

[Zvon]

...to be fair I'm sure he meant 2 inches in reference to the ball off the wall.
If he said it in past tense, as in "were 2 inches" I would not have touched on it.

But thats what you get when you live under a microscope.

[Guest KC]

McCain should shave his head, or at least get a buzz cut. Just sayin'.

[Zvon]

A double, 2 walks (1 int) loads the bases for the Snakes. 2 out.

Santana must battle out of this hole.
And its gonna be a joy to watch him do it.

[bmfc1]

Jim Kaat's no dummy but at least look at the uni number or the way they throw: there was a shot of the Mets BP and Kaat said it was Heilman.

Hillary should shave it also.

How about walking the number-eight guy and the D-Backs pinch-hit for Haren after only five?

[Zvon]

...and he does it

[bmfc1]

Did Gary yell on the Young pop-up? Moron Chip Carey screamed "that ball might drop!!!!" Yeah, if there was nobody in the OF.

[nymr83]

Haren went 6 not 5.

Santana's last pitch got way too much of the zone for an 0-2 pitch

[Guest AG/DC]

And the Church Ladies cheer!

Maybe...it was a bit up--it was a riser.

="TheOldMole"]On my cable (TimeWarner) TBS is blocked.

As it is everywhere in the NY market - and the Phoenix one too I'm sure.
But those out-of-town NYM fans should be getting this game on their sets.

This new package gives TBS a nationally televised game every Sunday afternoon but, unlike the FOX game on Saturday, they DON'T get an exclusivity window so their game is up against all the regular regional games and is blacked-out if the local market is carrying that specific game.

With FOX on Saturday, not only is it their feed instead of the local one but no other games are even allowed to be scheduled at the same time as the the one designated as FOX's GotW plus 1 or 2 backup games.

What that tells you is that FOX pays a helluva lot more for their rights than does TBS.

And that you don't mess with Rupert!

[Guest AG/DC]

If I may, look at the 135-degree angles of the walls in the corner.



A line-drive ball coming in from home plate is going to ricochet off that wall toward center naturally. That's the expected trajectory.

We've reached the time during the game where Mark Grace needs to be punched.

Is Kaat doing the TBS broadcast? - I thought he had retired.

[Zvon]

I got it on CW11 (channel 79-3 here :s), TBS, 2 TVs in front of me, a 5 second delay between the 2....I have the CW11 sound up and Im watching the TBS view, and,...its wacky.
