Good start to this game by Jose. I'm too tired to make it through all this game, but I think watching a few innings of Santana pitching will make me feel a lot better about this team.
Oh, great- Reyes looks hurt.

[Guest KC]

eeek, Reyes grabbin' at some hammy after a base hit up the middle.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

And some arguing with Manuel.

[metirish]

Reyes not happy a bout being replaced .

[Guest KC]

And Reyes seems pissed with the new skip as he's removed.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh my god. What a scene!

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Castillo dribbles one through the same spot Reyes did. Darling commends Easley for being able to run 180 feet.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Castillo in a WWSB sac bunt situation, doesn't bunt. Instead he singles.

+1 for Manuel.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

And they plugged that hole 10 feet to the right of 2nd for Wright.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Jose looked more mad than injured.

[soupcan]

Why'd Gary and ron make such a big deal of the Reyes-Manuel thing?

Reyes doesn't want to come out, Manuel wants to play it safe. I'd expect both guys to act exactly the way they did.

[metirish]

Manuel in the clubhouse hopefully chewing Reyes out.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Mets score a run that wouldn't have scored if Castillo has sac bunted.

The Score: Manuel 2 - WWSB 0

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Easley misses a ball in the hole.

It might have been too deep for Jose to make the throw, anyway. Damn you Vlad!

[Fman99]

Dang. Two ribbies for Hunter and the Mets are down 2-1. I blame Jerry Manuel.

[Guest 86-Dreamer]

clearly, there is a new sheriff in town. hate that reyes reacted like he did, and god help us if he is injured, but love how manuel handled the situation.

how did garret anderson not score on that play? well, guess it did not matter - 2-1 angels

[Guest AG/DC]

Garret Anderson looking slow.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Now Hunter gives me 2 fantasy RBI's and makes me sad at the same time.

[metirish]

Alomar would have sent Anderson.

[Guest AG/DC]

No fantisizing.

Oh come on Soupy. Reyes was a belligerent dick in the very first inning of Manuel's very first game. Really interesting test of Manuel's leadership right off the bat.

BTW, fire Warthen.

[Guest 86-Dreamer]

Delgado a complete disaster in field this year. he needs to slug 500+ to justify fielding this poor. and don't think that is going to happen

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

And Easley doesn't cover 2nd

[Fman99]

:sigh:

Boneheaded play by Easley/Castillo not covering on a pickoff.

Sorry, sorry.
Did Delgado change his goatee?

[metirish]

We need a second base coach.

[Guest AG/DC]

Alomar's job.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Well, my Gameday still has the Mets leading 1-0 with Torii Hunter still at the plate. He and Santana have been locked in a staring duel for quite some time. Still, that seems better than all the misadventures I keep reading about in this thread.

Very interesting. Considering what happened nearly a year ago in Houston. Though under different circumstances of course.
