[Zvon]

Uh-oh. Is this how it's gonna go?

1st HR of the season by Dee.

1-0

[batmagadanleadoff]

Who the hell said that "there's no crying in baseball?"

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

This is one of those special occasions when life transcends sports and we remember what is truly important.

[Lefty Specialist]

I have never seen anyone hit a home run and cry all the way around the bases. Wow.

[dinosaur jesus]

Did Bart groove that pitch? Classy gesture, I guess.

[Frayed Knot]

And this is why sports fiction so rarely works, it's not as good as the real stuff.

I tend to think not (who'd think that Dee Gordon would park one even with it grooved?) but yaneverknow.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Lets win 2-1 in an hour and half and everybody hug everybody afterwards.

[Zvon]

eh, I don't wanna disrespect, but a bit of over acting on that catch by Stanton. 'lil bit.

[Zvon]

Uh-oh #2.
Ronny and Keith say Colon has no zip on his pitches tonight.

Marlin bats are saying that Colon has no zip on his pitches tonight.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Awright, Bartolo. That's enough sympathy for now.

[Zvon]

Whoa. That ball actually lifted in flight. Jose is not only watching.

4-0

[A Boy Named Seo]

Wow, this turned to shit in a hurry.

[bmfc1]

It looks like the Mets are playing the part of the respectful guest making a house call and the condolence gift is meatballs.

[Lefty Specialist]

Oh well. Not happening tonight.

[MFS62]

This looks like a "win one for the Gipper" kind of game.
Crap!

It certainly don't feel like it.

Keith never saw an ump get in the way of a pickoff throw at first like that. And he played first! Needless to say I had never seen it.

Oy, umps today really suck.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Lotta innings left , chip away...

Something like, yeah.

[bmfc1]

Now Hirschbeck brings the Marlins a gift by calling a bad pitch strike 3.

I don't know what's going on, what the score is, what inning it is, but if you guys indicate the Mets lose this game on purpose to be nice, I swear to god my 1 year old grandson and I will hit the road tomorrow morning at 7:15 and kick some Metly ass.

Hey, I never root against the Mets no matter what.

[Zvon]

Posted by the Marlins with one word: Brotherhood.
Wow. Very nice.

Colon coming out with a 6-0 deficit.

And EVERYTHING was hit hard.

HARD hard.

[Centerfield]

Come on guys. Get it together. Second game in three that they've put themselves down big early in the game.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Some snaps I grabbed during the pre-game while squinting through watered eyes to see my cell phone:

[Edgy MD]

We're getting pretty close to forfeit territory.

[Frayed Knot]

Votto & Duvall go back to back in the 1st vs StL
2-0 Reds going to bottom 1st. Could have been more but for the caught stealing prior to Votto's clout (originally safe, reversed on appeal).

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Just catching up and watching the videos of the ceremony and Dee Gordon home run. Wow.

[metirish]

GKR are really great at handling this game and in talking about Jose Fernandez
