Live from St. Petersburg, 1962

[G-Fafif]

SNY opened its first spring telecast with kinescope footage from St. Pete and Bob Murphy's voice welcoming us to Florida for the first time.

Best opening ever.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well keep us updated on the game too

[soupcan]

2-0 Good Guys. Don't know what inning or any details

[soupcan]

Grand Slam for Reyes.

6-0, still don't know the inning.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

OK, I'm ready for the season to start

PS, Reyes hit anotha homa

[soupcan]

Reyes just hit another. One from the right side and one from the left. Don't know which was which. Listening to Francesa and he's being quite cryptic about the whole thing.

I think its 7-0.

[metirish]

I was hoping to avoid the score but that never works...

[Frayed Knot]

I know that Castillo led off the game with another single - good sign.
Also, Jerry batted Ollie 2nd in the order (and apparently intends to do so w/pitchers for a while) so that they'll all get at least one hitting/bunting situation in before their two/three innings are up.

[Vic Sage]

wow... bunting, hitting the other way... fundamentals. In spring training?
IT .. WILL ... WORK!!

[Theoldmole]

9-0 now but I just came back in so I don't know how they got the last two

[G-Fafif]

Ron Darling has already referred to the "rejuvenated Luis Castillo," so I guess we can take second baseman off the need it/want it list.

[Frayed Knot]

- 3 more times on base for Castillo

- staff allowed just 3 hits

[soupcan]

I think Beltran popped a 2-run job late in the game.

batmags proclaims that the Mets are the team to beat!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Cue the Castillo hamstring problem.

(I KEED, I KEED)

[soupcan]

Did I hear that Big Pelf pulled a hammy today...?

="metirish":xdb14yzy]I was hoping to avoid the score but that never works...[/quote:xdb14yzy] Aside from seeing the 2-0 score posted earlier in this thread I was able to avoid the final score, even doing 30 minutes at the gym in front of a TV with ESPN's ticker running. So I got to enjoy a Mets win, some homers, some opposite field hitting, sharp pitching, and all. Would've been nice if SNY hadn't left the HD cameras in Flushing. I noticed that the MFY preseason game was in HD. Cheap Mets.
