That shit call changes the whole inning. Bastard.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Dreckman, this is history here.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Come on, Jose!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Someone turned up the gravity underneath that changeup.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Bad.

But the big bats are coming up.

ESPN showed that the Coors debut was a walk-off, too.

[Guest Kong76]

I'm running out of gas, I'm not a Monday night person.
Wake me up Mets NOW!!!

[Fman99]

Evenin' CPF'ers!

Been watching most of tonight's game. The Wright tater was impressive.

Kids asleep, drink in hand, ready for some IGT before I hit the road tomorrow.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Three turns at bat left, gents.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Really refreshing analysis from Hershiser talking about the perception of current pitchers getting hurt more while pitching less. Imagine that, a former player on ESPN giving credit to current players instead of spouting some "back in my day" bullcrap.

Then again, I guess you could argue that Orel pitched in the modern era compared to a lot of the guys who are guilty of that.

Never.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I always thought the riding Tommy Lasorda gave Orel in 1988 ruined his arm. He was all guts and gristle after that.

[Guest Kong76]

OO: Nobody is ever going to homer to centerfield, ever <<<

Or until mid May.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Orel really does a good job in the booth. Much better than having Joe Morgan up there talking about the Yankees all night.

[Fman99]

Nice job to get out of the inning. Let's Go Mets!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wow, ESPN just showed the Petco debut ... and another walk-off!


Hey, Duaner got a job. He owes us.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Hey, it's Duaner. I like you, Duaner.

I hope they crush you, Duaner. Nothing personal.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I still can't get over the flippin' balk.

[Fman99]

Not the most inspirational turn at bat. One more inning, one more chance to get that run across.

Who's pitching the 9th?

[HahnSolo]

Was that Duaner's first 1-2-3 inning since July 2006?

[Fman99]

Frankie is on the hill. One out on the K, Rodriguez looking good so far.

[HahnSolo]

Incidentally, I can't grasp why Reyes does not get credit for a double on that ball when he overslid the bag. Or for that matter, why Gerut gets an assist.

[Fman99]

Didn't we used to get the MPH of the pitches last year? I feel like that is missing now.

[bmfc1]

I switched from EI to ESPN. I was listening closely, but did I hear "if you think Frankie is bad, you should try Orel."

Heath bloody Bell

[Guest Kong76]

Three outs to do something.

[Guest Kong76]

Chunky Bell on to pitch.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Heath Bell, like Aaron Harang, lost weight this winter.

Heath Bell, unlike Aaron Harang, still looks like a fat load.

[Fman99]

Heath Bell, named after the candy bar I assume. Throwing smoke though.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Heath Bell just threw a pitch through the screen.

Next pitch, the Padres catcher jumps over it.
