Surprised Yogi is sitting McReynolds.

They're taking the tarp off the field. Looks like this thing might start on time.

[metirish]

The guys are heading to the booth

In the bullpen -

[G-Fafif]

Kooz looks good. Struck out Rose to lead off, popped Utley to second, speared Larry's line drive to end the first.

[Guest themetfairy]

I just saw a shot of Mrs. Payson in the stands - LOVE her hat tonight!

[G-Fafif]

Reyes bunts his way on. His hammy's been a little tender, but he's waving off Tom McKenna. Obviously he's staying in this game.

[G-Fafif]

Is it really necessary to have Millan bunt here?

what was it Yogi said about two bunts in a row?


and he beats it out

[G-Fafif]

Reyes kept running! Garvey fell asleep on that one. First and third, nobody out.

Guess the hammy's OK.

[Guest themetfairy]

There's going to be a huge crowd - they're STILL coming off the 7 Train. But some of them are just watching the game from the overpass.

[G-Fafif]

Who knew Sock Night would be such a draw?

Olerud pops out to Santiago.

[Centerfield]

Posting from my Blackberry here from the Mezzanine at Shea.

What a beautiful night to be at the ballpark. At times I complain about this place, but I'm glad we don't have some bland corporate named Stadium with stupid deep dimensions.

[metirish]

No worries on a new stadium , auld Payson wouldn't spend the money , meanwhile Strawberry launches one deep into the upper deck.....not a soul up there to claim it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Here comes Morganna...

[seawolf17]

Can't believe it took security so long to take her down.

Maddox with the weak grounder to third to end the first. Waste of a roster spot, I still say. Reeks of Yankee to me.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dick Young reporting we've traded Ken Takahashi and Al Weis to Seattle for Tommy Davis and Bobby Valentine.

[Guest themetfairy]

Jane Jarvis is in rare form tonight!

Her version of the Curly Shuffle is second to none.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Swing and a line drive off the bat of Jose Reyes ... that one's up the gap in right field ... it gets past the defense ... it's going to the wall .. Reyes rounds first ... and he .... he ... he turns his body around ... he's running backwards ... he's running backwards about as fast as he can run forwards .. he's on his way to third ... he's in safely with a stand up triple ... a triple for Jose Reyes ..... folks .... i've never seen anything like this before ... Jose Reyes turned himself around ... and with his back to the oncoming bases, he ran around the infield backwards. Oh my.


That is the 100th career triple for Jose Reyes. Number 100.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Casey calls to the bullpen. He wants Nelson. I don't get it. Figueroa's been gone for more than a year. Casey must be losing his mind.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bobby Ojeda and Howard Cosell talked about talked about this on the pre-game. Apparently, Pignatano always knows who Casey means. Pete Flynn driving Buzz Capra to the mound right now.

[Fman99]

Posting on my phone, from the upper deck at Shea, behind the Agee marker, where LWFS and I are smoking giant crystal meth rocks. Let'h Go Meth!

[batmagadanleadoff]

Swing and a drive. It's a fucking home run. The Mets win the World Series.

[ashie62]

Don't forget to tune in for Kiner's Korner and join Bob for "Bowling for Dollars" afterwards!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I will apparently celebrate by cleaning. A lot.

[G-Fafif]

Carter sac fly to right. Nice catch by Vlad. Reyes scores easily.

[TransMonk]

What'd I miss?

I was playing cards and drinking beer with Rickey, Bobby Bo and Keith in the clubhouse.

I was getting a haircut from Rey.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How big is that fucking batboy?

[ashie62]

The batboy keeps feeding Neil Allen booze. We oughta trade Allen, think we can get anything for him?
