That was a blast by Pen�.

I used to really like Tim.
Thought he was one of the best.
Maybe cause he was new and doing the Mets games.
Last few years he sounds like a broken record looking for clues.

[Zvon]

NOOO.Rain, rain go away!

[Guest themetfairy]

Fuck - it's a rain delay.

No win for Johan today

one of the problems of mlb.tv is that they're really crap at dealing with things like rain delays. so anyone care to tell me if there's any read on how long will this be going on.

Looks like there might be a clearing coming up.

I figure they will wait at least an hour before calling it.

[Guest Kong76]

Schmoozie hasn't given any window time the couple of times I've checked in.

[Zvon]

[Guest Kong76]

Schmooze now reports the tarp is coming off.

[Guest Kong76]

They're back on the field, Parnell in to try and finish the 8th.

[Zvon]

Parnell pitches to Pat Burrell to pick it up.

[Zvon]

Did Burrell do something as wacky as dye his hair?

I don't like how this is starting out.
No sir, not at all.

Burrell walks, Upton singles.
We do have that one out from before the rains.

[Zvon]

Feliciano takes the ball from Parnell

[Zvon]

OH WOW.
Safe call then out call!
More suds for Feliciano!
Gets the big DP

[Guest Kong76]

Nice job by Crawford there to correct his call and get it right.

[Zvon]

Come on Sheff

[Guest Kong76]

Five innings of nothing, nada, squat, sniffle, and suckitude from the Mets' O.

[Guest Kong76]

Zobrist, dinger down the right field line.

[Guest Kong76]

Last licks, Metsies down 3-1.

That hurt.

Well, one more chance.
Cora
Murphy
Beltran
Wright
Church
etc.
(yea, they'll all bat this inning...I'm confident)

[Guest Kong76]

Kahnfidence is key.

[Zvon]

Thats it, make em throw alotta pitches Cora

[Zvon]

Tatis will bat for Murph

[Guest Kong76]

I'm picking nits here, but I hate the full fake bunt take on a 3-1 count in the
rain just swing the bat at that strike and see if it falls somewhere. Then it's
full count and ya gotta swing at anything close and we saw what happens.

That faked bunt pitch looked pretty fat to me too.

Beltran keeps us alive with a single.

[Zvon]

Wright looks like shit on the off speed stuff,...twice. K's. OVAH
Gah!

[Guest Kong76]

Thanks for hanging out, Z ... have a good rest of weekend.

[Guest themetfairy]

Oh bother....

[Zvon]

I may have said this before but, what...is Ken Rosenthal like 4 feet tall?
