I'm blacked out, inexplicably.

Gameday has new graphics, with the batter dressed in white and looking like a cricketeer.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Mets wearing road grey uniforms...

and BLUE CAPS!

First time since 1997.

It truly is Dave Mlicki Day.

[batmagadanleadoff]

and blue socks!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Charlie Samuels says it's in honor of the last Mets game at Yankee Stadium.

It's a good look. I hope it catches on.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And Keith Hernandez agrees with me!

[seawolf17]

Shouldn't the Mets have called up Jonathan Niese to pitch against Dan Giese? That would have been cool.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Castillo: Walk, SB.

Wright: RBI single to left.

[seawolf17]

I like this Wright kid. Gonna be a good player.

[Guest AG/DC]

I think operation run-on-Jorge is in effect.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Pelfrey starts by fanning both Cabrera and Jeter.

[Guest AG/DC]

Then he does the improbable by walking Abreu.

We beat up on this guy, he can match up with Niese next week in the Eastern League.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Rodriguez pops it up, but it falls between Beltran and Castillo.

First and third, two out.

[Guest AG/DC]

Credit that single to Castillo's knee?

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

A bunch of new gamecast features, although I could do without the little pictures as you roll over the fielders.
C'mon Big Pelf.

Maybe. The effort was there, but the knee may have been the difference maker.


Meanwhile, Giambi flares a broken bat single to left to tie the game.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

So, two bloops in a row? I don't like when lady luck wears pinstripes.

[Gwreck]

Gamecast is horrible. I wish they would go back to the 2006 (and earlier) version.

[Guest AG/DC]

Getting the number-seven guy on is interesting, now that we have a manager with American League experience. In the AL, you can bunt, steal, or hit-and-run here. Under NL rules, those are mostly all off the table.

[Guest AG/DC]

Thanks, Alex.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Marlon Anderson goes first to third on an infield single.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Even Omar's wearing a blue cap. (One with a blue, not orange, button on the crown.)

[Guest AG/DC]

Wow, button free.

Mets of the third inning ought not to blow their scoring chances like thier second-inning predecessors.

[Guest AG/DC]

Is Posada wearing a glove?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Another SB for Castillo. Wright batting with 0 out.

Keith, after the game, will tell Charlie Samuels to use the blue caps on the road more often.

And Wright skies to right, Castillo doesn't advance.

[Benjamin Grimm]

TWO-RUN HOMER TO RIGHT FIELD FOR BELTRAN!

3-1 Mets.

[TransMonk]

Yea for Carlos! KABOOM!

[bmfc1]

Take that Michael Wilbon! YES!!!!!
