5/17 IGT Subway Series Gay Dame in Da Boogie Down Bronx

[stevejrogers]

I know he's not popular around here, but Chris Russo is doing some entertaining radio. Goofing on the Yankees taking their sweet time telling the fans that last night's game was called (he believes it was more to get the players, and then the media out before the multitudes as opposed to the capitialistic capitalistic reasons) Russo is acting as if the game is slated for an 11:05 start!

Call me easily amused all you want, the guy can entertain.

Lineups to follow.

Reyes SS
Church RF
Wright 3B
Beltran CF

He also took a hit at the Mets for their handling of the Cincy rain game.
But he was funny about the start time. He joked that he saw Santana and Pettit starting to warm up in the bullpen.

Road blacks, booo.

First two batters striking out, double boooooo

[stevejrogers]

Well that blew!

Okay Johan, your turn.

[stevejrogers]

Damon with a leadoff walk, Jeter slams a one out homer off of Santana.

2-0

DAMN, @#*()$*()$A@#&*%A@#%@

Where the F was Alou going? Beltran and Reyes K on balls at eye level, Alou gets picked off... they still have their heads up their rears.

[stevejrogers]

Santana is not looking good so far.

Yup. Looks like that team meeting meant bumpkis in terms of on the field, for the moment anyway.

[MFS62]

Fucking Jeter.
The way they've been playing, two runs in an insurmountable hole for the Mets to climb out of.

Nice going Jose, swinging at another pitch out of the strike zone. Normally, Michael Kay spouting off about how you can't compare Reyes with Jeter would piss me off but not now.

Heh, yeah, the best SS in New York is on the MFY disabled list right now!

[bmfc1]

For the first positive note of the day, great block by Brian Schneider. A noted Mets blogger has scoffed at Schneider's fielding prowess but that was a great play. And even Michael Kay said that it was a good call.

[stevejrogers]

Mets get on the board as Chuch scores off of Damon's weak ass arm.

[bmfc1]

What an unbelievable call.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Bases loaded no outs? Delgado and Easley just cannot make those kinds of outs in that situation. They need to be able to hit a bleeping sac fly.

[nymr83]

bases loaded nobody out for Delgado, nothing
1 out for Easley, nothing
what the fuck?

[Guest Mendoza Line]

Nice, nice at-bat from Schneider! Game is tied.

[nymr83]

yeah Schneider!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

See, Schneider gets it! I like this guy.

[stevejrogers]

Pettitte loses Schneider to walk in the tying run, but there are two outs for Castillo.

Top of the 4th BTW.

[nymr83]

infield hit! way to let it roll pettite

[stevejrogers]

YEAH BABY! Pettitte lets the ball go, INF hit and the Mets take the lead!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Break it open, Jose! C'mon!

[nymr83]

well 3 runs is not bad but the mets really could have had a huge inning there

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Or not.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Giambi's batting .179? Guess the thong's not working.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Santana is a monster!

[stevejrogers]

I hope that I can borrow a line from Lord Vader about this game, that this will be a day LONG remebered!

A lot of work needs to be done, especially in this game, LETS GO METS!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Alou gets hit! Of course, that might put him back on the DL for a month...

Let's go Carlos!
