Nope to both questions.

[Frayed Knot]

Dunn can't argue about it - he was the most clueless guy on the field.

[ashie62]

I thought it hit the sign but got confused with the hot dog wrapper.

Love the shoe polish idea

[ashie62]

Great Camera angle on Castros's hit

[nymr83]

Gary calls Castro's ball a homer because he can;t see it, who the hell builds a stadium where the anouncers lose a ball in the corner because of poor sight lines??

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dodged a bullet or something there. I guess they say it hit the Subway sign but that certainly wasn't conclusive from the angles SNY showed.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

My aunt-- a fairly big football and soccer fan, but just learning the finer points of baseball-- about the Sheff shot from the other night, and she asked, "isn't a home run when it goes over the wall?" I started to explain the concept of ground rules, then home-run lines, then why where a spectator is when he/she touches a ball matters. We both ended up with headaches, and she still has no idea what the hell I was talking about.

Howie and Wayne each mentioned losing fly balls in the corner over the last three nights.

Not going to win any fans that way, kid.

Yipes.

You kind of have to yank the kid out of the game for that, don't you?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

d'oh.

[Guest GYC]

Fernando, you idiot.

[seawolf17]

Gary said it looked like the umpire was signaling home run, when he was just emphatically signaling fair.

...

HE DIDN'T RUN! Oh, Fartinez!

I'm afraid so..but he won't..the kid aint Lastings

[Elster88]

Burkhardt saying all the white in the sign made it hard to see....uh Kevin I think it was the sunlight blazing from the yellow.

[nymr83]

kevin up there with the fans who say it wasnt gone. give the Mets/SNY credit, YES would never be permitted to criticize a bad call that went the yankees way.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dunn's numbers against Feliciano, btw: 6-for-10, 1 BB, 2 HR.

EDIT: Before that. Now he's 6-for-11. But still, the kid's throwing well, Dunn has hit Feliciano-- and hard-- my point stands.

What did he do that should have had him yanked (I'm just getting here and catching up)

Stood at home plate while his pop-up, in play, was biffed by the catcher who threw him out by 20 feet anyway.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

MURPH!!!

He needed a game like this, breaking out!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Murph with the big night - if he keeps swinging like this the lineup will be plenty deep for the time being.

[nymr83]

murphy going nuts off nationals pitching

[Guest Edgy DC]

I told you that Murphy would get his act turned around.

Hey, Mets fans, that's a good boo on Fartinez.

[Elster88]

That's the Murphy from last year. Opposite field doubles.

[Guest holychicken]

I hate booing the home team, but Fartinez deserved that.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Murphy breakout!

[Guest holychicken]

I am getting pretty sick of Putz walking the leadoff guy when we have a big lead.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, Putz surprises nobody!

[Elster88]
