[Zvon]

Wow. Muffy clears the bases.With authoritah!

[Zvon]

A Wriple?

[Edgy MD]

By the way, great to see Kase posting. Got two hands to work with?

[Zvon]

Ike!? JWA! You have a yuuuuuuge lead.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Save some for tomorrow, kids.

[Fman99]

Muffy killing it out there.

Ike looks wretched.

The Mets mayn't have seen this coming, but I'll bet they saw his line-drive rate last year and considered him to be a good grab.

God bless these Twinkie fans. If this were YSIII, there'd be more ushers in the stands than patrons.

[Frayed Knot]

Not to mention that if this were YSIII there'd be about seven HRs to RF already tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Nice cowl, Willingham.

I hope it has bat ears.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, that was two YSIII homers in this inning alone.

Re-updated.

[Zvon]

That right field set up is ridiculous.

[Edgy MD]

Twins sideline correspondent also signs off her reports with "Guys?"

Nothing new under the sun. Or under the evening snowstorm, for that matter.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Burke looks like he's hurting himself on every pitch.

They always start with some chummy sounding word or combination of words. There must be an app for that.

[Edgy MD]

That inning ended on the Twin broadcast with a shot of young couple as the female turned to the male and seemingly uttered, "Is that enough? Can we go now?"

Unfortunately, they cut to the commercial before he answered, "When Hell itself freezes over. We can go then."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

TEN RUN RULE

[Edgy MD]

Like Frank Poncheirello assigned to desk duty, Wright is denied his cycle.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Enthusiastic Twins' fan clearly shouting "Run it out!" on that groundout.

[Edgy MD]

I love that Twin fan.

[Edgy MD]

Somebody get a crowbar out to open the frozen books, and then put this game in them.

[Zvon]

Good game.

[Frayed Knot]

Undefeated in snowstorms!!!

[Centerfield]

I don't know why, but I have this feeling/hope that Jordany is going to be a pleasant surprise for us.

Ike looks lost. Not just the 0 for 4, but looks terrible doing it. He's jumping, starting early. I'm starting to think that he will never be a legitimate #4 hitter.

Nope, it's never happened.

They scored 5 in the first and 4 in the second on July 14, 1995 (Mets 13, Rockies 4 at Shea) and on July 8, 2006 (Mets 17, Marlins 3, at Shea).

They scored 6 in the first and 4 in the second on September 29, 2000. (Mets 11, Expos 2, also at Shea.)

the 2006 was game 2 of a doubleheader. That must've been Pelfrey's debut right?

Yup.
