If I'm willie I can't say "no you're not" unless I have the team doctor backing me up, and we simply don't know how that conversation played out. Willlie can and should say "No, you're not" whenever he feels like it. That's why he's the manager. "Carlos, I'm glad you feel better, but it's the middle of April, let's rest you and get an MRI as soon as we can." These are the things you say BEFORE putting him back in the game to aggrivate his injury.

The fan who ended up with the ball gave it to Franco in exchange for a bat. Anticipating a call from the Hall of Fame, Franco said he'd send either the ball or the bat, but not both.

Johnny LeMasters - 1975 Giants - last player to hit an inside-the-park home run in his first at-bat of the season.

How many bases will the Mets steal on Piazza?

Trachsel 3 Franco 3 Matsui 1.5 Delgado 1.25 Heilman 0.5 Julio 0.5 Nady 0.25

Big Starts For Matsui Kaz Matsui, eighth in the Mets' batting order, hit a home run leading off the third inning Thursday night in his first at-bat this season. It is the third successive season in which he has hit a home run in his first at-bat. He is the first to do so since Ken Griffey Jr. from 1997-99. Date Opponent Pitcher Inning Outs Count April 6, 2004 Braves Russ Ortiz First None 0-0 April 4, 2005 Reds Paul Wilson First One 3-2 April 20, 2006 Padres Jake Peavy Third None 2-1

And Beltran is pulled. Beautiful.

Kaz stinks. Cut him.

Shinjo looks like Bruce Lee in those underwear ads. I'm Todd Hundley!!! It's a lot more fun in the low numbers.

SNY has been shady so far. I don't feel even 25% of the hate for Jeter that most non-Yankee fans do, but three different commercials featuring him are pushing it.
-
And I'll gladly accept the "I told you so's" if Matsui is hitting .138 in May. I can take it as well as dish it out.

I was wincing even as I hit the "Submit" button. Wasn't sure how you would take it. "Your mom" jokes became a matter of course for my buddies and I growing up to the point that they didn't mean anything. I sometimes forget to modify my behavior when interacting with the real world. My apologies if you were offended. (sc = zero)

Nady throws home over the cutoff man foolishly....again. Roberts gets to second. Don't worry, Kaz will be up at least twice more today.

A Boy Named Seo wrote: Nice bit of third base coaching by Manny Acta there, too. It was pretty ballsy sending Matsui coming off a knee injury and leading off the inning, but it worked out great. True. Galante would've sent him back to first. Shirley we all realize that Andy has a better mitt than Kaz, but maybe the difference in speed is not that great. Kaz was flying.
-
Nice play by Reyes on the fake bunt by Peavy.
-
Keep fighting the good fight. Hopefully either KazMat or AndHer will make the argument an easy win for one of us. Kaz's line after the first at bat... 1.000 / 1.000 / 4.000 / 5.000 ....EVERY YEAR BABY!!!
-
Not even a little bit.
-
Seriously though. That has to have never happened before. First at bat of a player's first three seasons in a row? How about first at-bat of any three seasons in a row? How about first at-bat of any three seasons in a career (Rickey must have done that at least.)

You are all my bitches. KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ If you fuckers would stop booing him, maybe he'd do that in New York.

Reyes LoDuca Beltran Delgado Wright Floyd Nady Matsui 2B Trachsel NOW THAT'S A FUCKING LINEUP BABY KAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Final score of tonight's game: 28-3

Do. Not. Apologize. It was a great read. SC = zero

Great KTE, Edgy. I'm not going to bust your balls over typos.
