I was late.

Mets already trail 1-0, which may be a good sign.

That was an awesome home run by Hamilton , a flick of the wrists like Ron said and it was in the picnic area, reminded me of a Mo Vaughn homer.

[G-Fafif]

Best. Interleague thread title. Ever.

Teachin 'em Texas boys how to play some National league ball.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Yay, we're winning.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Damn, Milton "Dinosaurs" Bradley is hitting .333 and 14 home runs already.

[Guest AG/DC]

Reese Havens in the booth.

[Guest attgig]

How is Marlon Anderson still a part of the team much less batting 6th in our lineup?

the dude has 9 hits all season...

Perez: I was sent by my government to strike out German Duran

This Texas team is definitely bad defensively.

That first-inning single by Beltran made me think that high ERA isn't all the pitchers' fault.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

attgig - "How is Marlon Anderson still a part of the team much less batting 6th in our lineup?

Even worse for the Mets, Alou has all of 17 hits for the season. He was supposed to fill the #5 or #6 slot in the order for the season. Hell, I could have sat on the DL collecting paychecks, for a small fraction of what Alou costs.

[Guest AG/DC]

Feldman gets nothing past anybody, does he?

(As I type, he gets his first career hit.)

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

These are desperate times, so desperate measures are called for. I have decided to drink a different beer for each inning of this game in hopes that it will shake the Mets from their funk. If not, I figure I won't be as upset at the end of the game.

Thus far my experiment has gone as follows:
1st inning - Tecate
2nd inning - Miller Lite (i know it hardly ranks as a beer, but i need 9)
3rd inning - Saranac India Pale Ale
4th inning - Saranac Pale Ale
5th inning - Saranac Adirondack Lager

Let it not be said that I was not willing to do my part for the tweams cause.

[Guest AG/DC]

I gotta pee just having read your post.

[Guest AG/DC]

Oliver is in deep trouble, two out and three on.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Come on Mets, I need some long innings, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind.

[Guest AG/DC]

Gilbert asks: The last time the Rangers played at Shea (July, 1975), they had a complete game shutout. Who was the pitcher?

There's that Texas defense.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Perez tells Murphy to grab some pine as he strikes him out on three pitches.

Alright team, 3 or 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th would be greatly appreciated.

[Guest AG/DC]

There's Anderson.

[Guest themetfairy]

4-1 Mets.

Just keep the pen away and we'll be fine....

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Now that's what I'm talkin' about.

[Guest AG/DC]

Everybody can pull this bloke.

[Guest themetfairy]

Make that 5-1!

[Guest AG/DC]

I'm not sure Anderson would see it that way.

But he probably hasn't had quite so many beers this evening.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Metfairy - 4-1 Mets.

Just keep the pen away and we'll be fine....

I saw the original score you posted. I liked it better, but i can live with the present score.

[Guest AG/DC]

Let's beat the arms off of this shallow pen in game one.

That's Oliver Perez tripling his RBI total.

Tack-on runs rool.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Me - "Alright team, 3 or 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th would be greatly appreciated.

The Mets tack on 4 runs in the 6th inning. Apparently, we just haven't asked nicely in the past.

6th inning - Saranac Brown Ale - It was a good beer and a great inning.

[Guest AG/DC]

Marlon Byrd is still in baseball? How about that?
