Let me clarify and say "funky hop," although, yeah, it would have had to have been fresh. And maybe def or perhaps ill.

[Elster88]

Yup I know you meant hop just messing with you.

[Elster88]

Gary tells us Young David has struck out 13 times in his first 33 at-bats. Yuck.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Short list of things I don't need to be told.

1. Cherish Ralph Kiner.

[Guest *62]

Should the Mets mount a comeback, O'Day, Feliciano, and Stokes get serious Schaefer points.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's my Duaner.

[Guest *62]

Shrek!

[nymr83]

CASTRO!!

I guess the Mets knew what they were doing when they cut Sanchez.

[Fman99]

Ka

boom

[Elster88]

Sheffield almost hit that one to Shea

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sanchez has nothing. Nothing!

[Fman99]

Frankie sounds like he had the good stuff tonight.

Ninth inning. Last dance, last chance for love...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Now that's the way I like to see the Mets closer work. Now if the team could suceed at handing him a lead to protest with some regularity.

Lets Go Mets!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Padres, your names are on detachable shields. That's so Torre-era.

[Fman99]

Fuck.

[Elster88]

Wow the home plate ump must have really been cold. Two horrible calls as strikes.

[bmfc1]

F U Gary Darling.

[nymr83]

Delgado gets a reprieve in that the foul ball he hit would have been caught if the 3rd baseman wasn't in over-shift playing the SS position.

and then he strikes out on a very questionable call.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gaemday has that clearly outside. Bad game by Gary Darling.

[nymr83]

Make no mistake, Alex Cora should be standing at 1st base as the tying run right now.

[metirish]

A questionable call sure enough but it looked letter high, maybe a bit outside .

[Elster88]

Fuck Heath Bell. I hope he enjoys closing for a 90 loss team.

Mos' def' outside.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Somehow, deriding the Padres unworthiness after they just beat the Mets two out of three games in their new ballpark doesn't make me feel any better.

I know the season is very young, but this team has succeeded in dampening my excitement for this season. I'm sure winning two games in a row would greatly improve my mood.

[metirish]

Delgado has got to be protecting the plate, yes/no?

Hard to be critical of him though.

it was outside. and although it was letter high, and letter high is a strike in the rulebook, its not a strike that was being called all game (heck, it hasnt been called consistently for as long as i've been following baseball)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, the Mets lost this one in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th, every bit as much as the 9th.

Yeah, sounds goofy but Maine's 2 bad innings came directly after having bad sac bunt attempts.

Very nice new stadium I say, but awfully cold weather.

It might if you catch any of the Heath Bell interview on ESPN. He's extremely pleased with himself. Which I guess he has a right to be but a childish part of me is very happy that he's going to play for a losing team this year.

First Night Flushing, here.
