Kiner in the house today.

[Guest AG/DC]

I'll never fully know what an illegal pickoff move is for a lefthander.

[Guest AG/DC]

Brandon Phillips, Metkiller.

[Guest AG/DC]

Johnny St. Anne on his way to a 27-hit shutout.

[Guest AG/DC]

Tallking with myself here.

I say we hop on Belisle early before he remembers ever beating us last year.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Can anyone get this on the baseball package?

No - the package can't show MLB games until after 7:00 pm Eastern time/4:00 Pacific time on Saturdays.

[A Boy Named Seo]

That seems like a rule I should've learned a long time ago.

Thank you. See you all (two) later.

[Guest AG/DC]

One-zip as Alou trots home on the wild pitch --- after advancing first on a late break by Griffey leading to a hit, and then on a failed double play.

Everybody get their autism awareness in there?

Ralphers in the booth. Hush up.

[G-Fafif]

Ralph went to a steakhouse between games of the only Mets day-night doubleheader Shea ever hosted prior to 2007.

Such a Ralph thing to do.

He probably took Angie Dickinson.

[Guest AG/DC]

Castillo walks and comes around on the single by Beltran, like a number-two hitter should do.

[bmfc1]

The game is on mlb.tv b/not EI.

Lousy call by the sub ump at first--Cohen said he's there because of the DH... umps can't work two games? Does the ump scheduled to work home in the 2d game get the first game off?

[Guest AG/DC]

Mets are getting all the breakies today.

[Guest AG/DC]

Six-three with two out and two on in the third.

Last batter for Santana.

[Guest AG/DC]

Bam, he finishes with a K.

Now let's get into their pen and soften them up for later.

[Guest AG/DC]

The Smithereens played the undercard?

[Guest AG/DC]

Hey, Boobirds!

Castillo whiffed? Too bad. You're up 6-3. Be cool.

And now they're playing pre-taped encouragements to cheer. You brought that shit on yourselves.

[Guest AG/DC]

I'm Ed Bressoud and I don't care if I talk to myself!

It's 10-3 Mets after a Beltran trip, and we're two relievers into this pen with a nightcap to come.

Let's see if we can't get Sosa to finish thing thingie up alone.

[Guest AG/DC]

Boobirds, shut up.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Delgado and Schneider go back-to-back. Schneid's first XBH of the season, which is oomph-worthy.

[Guest AG/DC]

Schnedier? Extra bases?

YEAH!

[Guest AG/DC]

Boobirds silent when Griffey brings home two.

Only bad when Designated Whipping Boys_TM give up runs.

Game 1 was the "Bike to Shea" day organized by NYC DOT. 12 mile ride from Brooklyn. Apparently Mr. Met came by the bike parking lot set up but I missed him.

Smithereens played two songs during the pre-game as part of Autisim Awareness Day (sponsored by VH1). They were attired in an old Seaver Jersey, a dark blue 80s pullover jersey and a green Mets jersey. Apparently are big fans. 2 songs -- one of their own and one Beatles cover.

I know a fifth umpire is used on doubleheaders but I didn't know that the ump working the plate for game #2 gets game #1 off. Guess I do know.

The booing of Heilman is fucking stupid (and yes, I also noticed the Feliciano got off without a peep from the crowd). All 3 relievers though had huge leads to work with and managed to screw around and not just throw strikes.

Glad the offense showed up again today.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

AG/DC - "Keith's favorite Shea Stadium memory: http://leaptoad.com/mets/gamedetail.php?gameno=2922 "

Wow, a 4 inning save by the Cardinals Roy Thomas. Few relievers ever go more than 3 outs for a save anymore.

[G-Fafif]

I found it a little disappointing that Keith's favorite Shea memory was Cardinal-driven.

Not devastating, just disappointing.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Well, if he wasn't in the clubhouse on October 25, 1986...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

re: Smithereens.

I'd have guessed DiNizio as a Yankee fan... interesting.
