I'm very surprised to be so strongly outvoted here. For the record, there have been a total of three other games put in this thread: 1. Church misses third/Reed throwing error to end game (at LA) 2. Bullpen meltdown (at Pittsburgh) 3. Castillo drops flyball (at Yankees). --- I guess I missed the memo where this list was limited to 3 games.

I don't disagree, but the thread title says "Losses" (ie. plural).

It might not be top 3 but the 6/23 game (2 hits over 9 innings) is on this lsit.

If the Mets are playing at 1:10 PM and are on CW11 or SNY, you see the games in New York. It's not an exclusive window, it just blacks out Extra Innings if the game is at that time.

I guess this is what people talk about with regard to the stupidity of blackout restrictions. I can see no logical reason why a game airing outside the Fox window (ie. 1:10 PM EDT start) would need to be blacked out.

I wonder if Ryan Church should be playing centerfield instead.

Let me throw this out there again. If you can help, it's much appreciated. [u:42gm04d8]What I've pieced together is:[/u:42gm04d8] As long as one has Extra Innings, they will get all M-F games and Sunday afternoon games. Sunday evening games are ESPN (national exclusive), so one would get those no matter where they live. The only true blackout issue would be for Saturday games. Games at 7:00 PM EDT or later are on Extra Innings, but anything before (even at 1:10 PM EDT start) are blacked out. [u:42gm04d8]The Questions:[/u:42gm04d8] If one lives outside of the Mets' market -- is it possible to watch those Saturday afternoon games? The two potential examples are: 1. Game starts at 1:10 PM and is on SNY or CW11. Blacked out on extra innings. Is it possible to get a satellite feed of the CW11 if you live outside of New York? 2. Can one get multiple FOX feeds via satellite? If FOX is carrying more than one game , the affiliates will show a game based on the teams playing. Can you get more than one affiliate on a satellite? (ie. if your local Fox affiliate is showing Oakland-Angels, could you get the Mets-Phillies feed from an East coast Fox affiliate?) 3. Are there any ways of doing this that I'm not thinking of?

I believe Magglio Ordonez had the microfracture procedure done successfully.

Ok, so, they weren't hurt, but jeez... From Adam Rubin's Blog: Talk about snakebit. Word is that Jose Reyes and trainer Ray Ramirez were rear-ended on the RFK-Triboro Bridge by a fire truck this afternoon while stopped. Neither was hurt.

Who is this Stokes guy and where have we been hiding him? SC = 43

That would be your starting left fielder, Fernando Tatis.

Also Elmer Dessens called up and Wilson Valdez DFAed.

Per Daily News[/url:25mbxtmz] Report: UPDATE: The Daily News has learned that lefthanded reliever Pat Misch and outfielder Fernando Martinez are headed to the Mets, replacing Ken Takahashi and, seemingly, Carlos Beltran. Beltran must be headed to the DL or Martinez could not return so soon.

On the most recent new episode of "Kids Clubhouse" on SNY, Tim Redding was interviewed. He admitted to liking the Yankees more than the Mets while growing up in Rochester, NY. He did claim that his wearing #44 was as tribute to David Cone, though (one of his two favorite players growing up).

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, seated in the front row of the Delta Club seats at Sunday's game. Jessica Beltran was next to them when they were first shown on TV, and then later with Lopez' father when the SNY reporter went over. J-Lo: "Vote for Carlos for the All-Star game!"

Yep, still playing it after wins. I think it's time for a new song. I'd didn't see the Tampa-Mets tilts in '98 or '00 at Shea and had never seen Tampa anywhere else in an AL park, so now I can finally say I've seen all 30 ML teams in person. Anyway, good game but Parnell is troubling me and I'm fine with him taking a slightly reduced role. Where is Brian Stokes again? Tampa really put on a baserunning clinic with BJ Upton's double, with Bartlett scoring from first (taking full advantage of Sheffield) and then Upton going to third on what was an error on Cora but really was Schneider's fault for not corralling a relay throw. Nice game for Church. Also 3 hits for Murphy. If they can be productive, this homestand might be ok.

First time we've faced Tampa since 2001; we've faced every other team since, including many AL teams multiple times since. Outstanding MGIM. I actually laughed out loud at this report.

Another killer road loss. I thought I had been doing a good job avoiding these but then the Castillo game and now tonight. Key play in the 9th was not getting the out (and keeping a margin for error on the basepahts) when Roberts bunted. Just killer. I also think that had Rodriguez not walked in the tying run but rather allowed it via an out-producing method (ie. Sac Fly, RBI groundout) we would've gone to extras. Liked the two-out hits. Church's ball was rocked off the wall in the 6th and he only got a single. He should have been at second, however, after the throw went home and then subsequently got away from the catcher and went to the backstop. More of this head-up-our-ass baserunning is just not acceptable. Had a great time at Camden -- my first time there. Took the tour and got to see a good part of the Met contingent arriving: Schneider/Parnell/Church and Switzer passing us in one of the tunnels underground; Luis Castillo and Fernando Tatis getting out of the cab they shared as we walked by. Resisted the urge to give some choice words to the latter pair. Even though it's 17 years old, Camden still looks fantastic and is a great place to see the game. Loved Eutaw Street as part of the concourse (like Yawkey Way, but improved and with more space); loved the downtown view from the seats; loved the warehouse incorporated into the park. CI can clearly see how other parks too parts of what Camden did and probably did them a little better (Busch Stadium, Citizens Bank, PNC, etc) but still great to see the initial inspiration. Orioles do a very nice job of honoring their history with well accessible and interesting Orioles hall-of fame plaques. I did find it curious though that while the retired numbers exist in statue form outside the park, and there's marking of the pennants/championships in the concourse, there are no markings of either inside the stadium (ie. the seating bowl/field/etc). I think this is the only stadium I've seen where they don't have either anywhere visible. TONS of Mets fans around, which was a little surprising given it was a weeknight game. I'd guess the park was close to 1/3 Mets fans.

Yeah, I know. It's called "Extra Innings." I think the Satellite companies have them. Maybe I need to be more specific. What does one need to do so that they can get *every* (yes, *every* game) on TV, even if outside the NY Metro area? Presumably the Saturday games would be the trickiest with the Fox rules.
