They're a week back and all, but man alive, this team has been terrible today with the glove.

Matsuzaka was flabby with the control and hittable-- although he was NOT helped by the D-- and could have gotten hammered even more. Lannan was "meh." Montero continues to look good. Matz up-and-down, but three Ks in a row to get out of some trouble in the 7th were nice, and the fastball and curve were popping.

3 more E's today: Murphy, Tejada, Brown
That's several games I've noticed so far with multiple errors

DiceK = 2 runs over 2 on 6 hits, 1 BB, 3 K
Lannan = 2 runs over 2 on 3 hits
Montero = 1 run over 2 on 1 hit
Matz = 1 inning, 1 hits, 1 BB, 3 Ks

HRs: Recker & Brown

5-3 Cards in the 7th

[Zvon]

Just tuning in. How about a comeback for me guys. 9th inning, still 5-3.

[Zvon]

That Cards pitcher Maness knows where the hitters weak spots are.
2 outs on Ks.
You get that one inside pitch in on Newy and he's done.

METS TIE IT!!!
5-5

[Edgy MD]

Whoah! Mets reading the Pool, fulfill Zvon's wish.

[Zvon]

A lead-off single by Dreamy and 3 singles in a row by Brown, Flores and Campbell tie it up.

I forgot this is spring. They can just call it here. They don't.
Extra innings!

Yea, I'm having a good day. Now nothing can ruin it.


Awwwwww. They called it.
Gah. Hey, that's still a comeback. We came back and no one wins. I'll settle for that.

[Zvon]

Kool, you can replay these right away after the game now. Or maybe that's just cause it's a spring game. Dunno, but I'll catch ya after the game.

[Zvon]

Nice play by Granderson in the 1st, calling off Muffy on the shallow fly. That's the kinda thing I like to see in S.T.

[Frayed Knot]

The game featured a replay review.
Cardinal runner out on a caught stealing. Play looked close all along (he even looked safe at least as much as out) but the replay affirmed the call in what seemed like maybe 90 seconds or so.

Garys just talking about that now.

Jeeze Daniel. Weren't you taking grounders and stuff while you weren't playing in games?

Uhg, and the ball hits the ump! And its a good break!

But this inning should be over. Booooooo.

[Zvon]

Matsuzaka didn't suck tho they hit him kinda hard. K'd three and would have looked better had Murphy not erred.

[Zvon]

Tejada, if you can't field a grounder right to you we are in trouble.

Hmm, Collins didn't challenge on EYjr out at 2nd. He was safe.

[Zvon]

Muffy with a take out slide in spring training. And he's limping.
ugh.

Looks like he's okay.
