What a terrible at-bat by John Mayberry � fouled off two hanging meatballs and flails at the straight change.

Oh, boy, they'll be visiting with Kurt Warner throughout the broadcast.

I hope Tim Cooney throws as hard as Tim Conway. I hope Tim Conway throws as hard as Conway Twitty. I hope Conway Twitty throws as hard Tweety Bird. I hope Tweety Bird throws as hard as Lady Bird Johnson. The Mets have never had a problem hitting Lady Bird Johnson.

Clooney, Shmooney. Total offensive breakout happening today.

Go, Battlin' Mets!

Flaemgh.

Cardinals out of position players. Let's rally just 'cuz.

Wow. Randall Gritchett. Or whatever your name is. That was weird. Pulling an outside pitch and off the end of the bat.

Five hits for Hammyward.

Two runs on 12 hits... . Blub.

Johnny Monell has a one-handed swing on outside pitches.

Mejia.

Stretchy stretchy.

The Mets don't appear to have brought their A game.

Heyward: four hitz.

Catch fyer, Cuddyer.

Well, tonight is bad.

Murphy is pleasing me not.

Well, that was a 12-inch double play.

Yeah, I'm not going to go FU on Syndergaard. I got nothing against a guy praising his teammates, even in loss. I do, however, have something against the superhero nicknames.

The Sox, man. Hawk Harrleson is nuts. It's like somebody let a hyperactive 10-year-old on the air. Doesn't even make any sense.

If you're watching via MLB.com don't you get your choice of feeds? Either way, spending a full inning interviewing a (supposedly amateur) quarterback during a baseball game is borderline criminal IMO. You get your choice of radio feeds. For TV feeds you get your choice only if you pay for the package on the higher shelf. When it's Los Angeles or Milwaukee, I'm fine with that � or at least OK (the Mets booth are my friends). When it's St. Louis or Miami or Atlanta, I want to weep. The quarterback wasn't even a baseball fan and said as much. And they didn't even care very much about interrupting the interview to call a watered-down play-by-play. You pretty much nailed it as far as who they were subservient to. They didn't ask him so much about his personal game, but stuff like "What's it like to play in the SEC? What's this stadium like? What's it like going into the Swamp?" And I'm all, "Wtf is the Swamp and wtf cares? Baseball, gentlemen!!"
