I guess this qualifies as either a gaydame or gaynight doubleheader, anyway

It's Gotay. That question gets asked each time this image is posted.

This pic is what baseball is all about.

Incredible picture--never fails to make me smile (I wouldn't mind if the cameraman was cropped out, but that's another matter). The guy to Jose's immediate left looks familiar. I hope he plays again soon.

[Centerfield]

Yes on Gotay.

Two more questions:

Who is between Beltran and Wright?

Who is the hero about to be mobbed by his teammates?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Carlos Gomez and Shawn Green.

I remembered the latter but had to be schooled on the former a few weeks back.

Here's the game:

I remembered it was Shawn Green because my son was at sleepaway camp that summer and included in the letters I would send him would be be Mets updates. That picture - or one very similar - was on the back page of the New York Post and I folded it up and sent it him in the envelope with my letter.

He kept it and still has it hanging on his wall in room.

LWBHer thinks JoseX4 should cut his hair again.

I think I agree.

3 games, 24 hours. Who pitches more innings, Santana or Nieve?

[Centerfield]

LoDuca looks positively insane in that pic. He reminds me of Jon Favreau's character in the Replacements.

Nieve does have 2 shots at innings today, but I will go with Santanaclaus

Honestly, Paul LoDuca was always a little scary.

[ashie62]

They all look like happy winners at a curbside craps game, especially Loduca

I'd make a cockfighting joke, but I won't.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I cant find this game anywhere on Direct. Anyone know where the hell I can find it?

[A Boy Named Seo]

Nevermind me. MLB At Bat was telling me this was a 1:10 start. Laundry now. See ya!

[Willets Point]

It's a 1:10 start for you.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Thx, WP.

[Gwreck]

3 up 3 down in the first for Johan.

Kills me that I am not able to make these games.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Just caught the MLB.com live look-in: there look to be fewer people at Citi right now than at your typical off-Broadway show.

(And same here, GWreck.)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

1-2-3 go the Dodgers in the 1st

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

1-2-3 go the Mets

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

On 9 pitches (five of which came in the Pagan at-bat). Inauspicious start.

Gotta play eighteen today. Don't want to get worn out early.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Johan's got Loney picked, but is a little slow to throw over, and Ike is a little slow to throw to second... and there's Loney at second.

Then Martin walks. 2 on, 2 out. Unnecessary aggravation.
