Actual conversation: Fwife: "What's with that big patch?" Fman99: "Oh, that's the patch they're going to wear at home this year." Fwife: "Wow, it's stupid looking."

Feh. Stupid fat ****y Heath Bell. Mets laid down for the Padres bullpen, last 10 hitters go in order. Weak.

C'mon, Jose.

Heath Bell, named after the candy bar I assume. Throwing smoke though.

Didn't we used to get the MPH of the pitches last year? I feel like that is missing now.

Frankie is on the hill. One out on the K, Rodriguez looking good so far.

Not the most inspirational turn at bat. One more inning, one more chance to get that run across. Who's pitching the 9th?

Nice job to get out of the inning. Let's Go Mets!

Evenin' CPF'ers! Been watching most of tonight's game. The Wright tater was impressive. Kids asleep, drink in hand, ready for some IGT before I hit the road tomorrow.

Bleh. O'Day lets Ollie's runners in. Vigo the Carpathian gets us again!

O.P. getting the hook, mercifully.

Has anyone seen the wheels? They seemed to have come off at some point.

"Go... yes, I think; go... the joyfulness is over!"

Work is crazy today. I got the headphones on just in time for Church's double.

Is the Reds SS Janish the same guy from Ghostbusters II?

Wow I missed that entire half-frame doing work stuff. Nice quick work Ollie!

Bleh. LOB 3.

Wow. Another E courtesy of the Cincinatti News Bears and it's 1st/2nd one out instead of the end of the inning.

Murph works a single on a full count. The kid's a hitter!

Arroyo has traditionally done well against the Mets but has had health issues this spring, carpal tunnel syndrome mixed with crappy-pitcher-itis.

Headphones are on, listening online to Howie and Wayne doing the game on WFAN.

Wow. How sad, just 22.

Got my MLB Gameday Audio subscription this morning so I can listen to the call on WFAN from work.

="MFS62":3q171fhs]About how many games into the season do you think it will take for mlb network to realize that Bonds is no longer playing for SF, and therefore nobody cares about watching their games? Later[/quote:3q171fhs] They actually have quite a few young talented hitters (Ishikawa, Sandoval, Lewis) a pretty solid rotation and a few live arms in their pen. They're missing a big bat though. themetfairy Apr 09 2009 06:39 AM ="John Cougar Lunchbucket":2znwpofn]Vin Scully calling the Dodgers-Pods game, Padres wearing their fatigues.[/quote:2znwpofn] I love listening to Scully call games.

ON EDIT: He's one of the handful of people who when I hear their voice makes me feel like a kid. Brent Musberger and Casey Kasem are some others. metirish Apr 24 2009 02:25 PM Nearly a month into the season and MLB Network is my default station. I love all the live look-ins to games , as soon as SNY goes to break I flip over to MLB. I don't watch Baseball Tonight anymore , no point really. HahnSolo Apr 24 2009 02:48 PM I agree, although none of the hosts/analysts have really grown on me. Larkin is about as bland as they come, and he seems to always be on. Harold Reynolds is OK. Frayed Knot Apr 24 2009 02:56 PM Neil Best in today's Newsday[/url:2aq3rzp9] on MLBN's nightly show. He does this every once in a while: goes the entire day (or a good portion of it) watching one sports-TV related thing just to see how sane he comes out on the other side. I know he's done the NFL draft (I'd shoot myself by hour 2) and once did MSG on a summer day not long after they lost the Mets and had nothing but the winter sports teams remaining. Lotsa informercials and cheesy in-house stuff IIRC. apmorris Apr 24 2009 09:21 PM I've had it on in the background since the season started. I agree about Larkin. The hosts for the most part are OK, this guy though has an acute case of Scott Van Peltism Edgy DC Apr 24 2009 09:45 PM Did you have to pick a wanking shot? G-Fafif May 06 2009 01:12 PM If you're outside the NYC area, you can watch Thursday night's game on MLBN, Bob Costas and Al Leiter at the mics. Blacked out here. Benjamin Grimm May 06 2009 01:17 PM I'm sure it will be blacked out in Philadelphia too. Since I don't have Comcast cable, I can't see most of the local Phillies broadcasts, except for the relatively few that are on the over-the-air channel. apmorris May 06 2009 01:31 PM MLBNetwork, The Best Damn On-Air Personalities Period! (part 3) Billy Ripken He got the job on his own merits, just like how he got his job with the Orioles. ps. Does MLBN know we have to look at him whens he talks? from G-Fafif May 06 2009 01:44 PM ="Benjamin Grimm":2rks6vvy]I'm sure it will be blacked out in Philadelphia too.[/quote:2rks6vvy] I suppose. It was hard enough to acknowledge there was a world outside of New York to remember another city might be involved. bmfc1 May 06 2009 05:07 PM Billy Ripken does a good job on MLBN, just as he does on XM Baseball. He is also a great teacher of the game at the Ripken Baseball Camp. Swan Swan H Jun 27 2009 10:48 AM Game 5 of the 1968 NLCS on NOW! It's the bottom of the 1st, and it's scheduled to run until 4:30, if you want to check in for the big finish.
