Three run KABOOM for Reyes. I feel kinda bad for the Snakes. Reyes may go for the cycle tonight.

Another day where giving out Schaefer will feel like someone is getting short changed. Two run double for Fidel.

LOL Johnny, but you shouldn't have buried this away in an IGT. Post it somewhere else too in a thread that will stick around a while.

Easy AFLAC question today: most RBI in a season by a Met leftfielder.

Matsui has played second very smoothly tonight. Double play ends the inning. With the offensive barrage I didn't even notice a very nice outing by Seo.

Me too!

If he didn't, Mike Jacobs is probably in Binghamton right now.Edited title for the non-religious.

Seriously, we're up by seven runs. Let's not slide head first into third and hurt ourselves.

I think I'm the only member of the KazMat fan club. He will show all you doubters.I like baseball.

You should explain the Sacred Post to MK, CookieMom. Everyone else is usually caught unawares.

I think they moved back the start time to accomadate Wednesday Night Baseball on ESPN. Though on my DISH network it's on ESPN2A. At least it better be, now they're saying Houston/San Diego is next.

HAIL

Well done.

I love this. I forgot how much fun scoreboard watching can be when it means something for me.I've been saying all along that the Mets aren't making the playoffs, so I'll stick with that. Luck. At least that will be my excuse when I'm caught with my uniform off and a beer in hand when the Mets come back.

More than that shouldn't be allowed.According to the backs of the tickets, it's legal to scalp tickets up to 20% over the face value. To me it's worth it to pay 30% extra to sit in those seats once in a while. Though I'd much rather pay 20% extra on eBay and let the ticket holder keep all the profit than pay 30% on mets.com and let the Mets get it back.Because they'll just spend their extra on washed up vets.

How about Pryzinski? I'm 99.9% sure I spelled that wrong.

I'll probably buy some, if they're cheaper than ebay (probably not), and stubhub (probably are), and are from a game that I want to go to.

Every time I read another article about yesterday's game I get more excited...not about the 2005 playoff implications, but for the team as a whole in the future. From the Daily News:]The Mets' sudden youth moment - four players 24 or younger - set the tone as Victor Diaz and Jose Reyes each contributed RBI triples in a four-run second inning, rookie Mike Jacobs swatted a two-run homer in the fifth and David Wright scored three times before Diamondbacks starter Claudio Vargas (7-7) departed.And we got anudder young'un who has rediscovered himself pitching tonight. Actually, though, I sometimes forget that Seo isn't that young.In any event, it's an exciting time to be a Met fan.

I can post the whole article if someone wants, but this is the part I found quotable.]In fact, with the return of the right-hander Steve Trachsel from the disabled list, the Mets have so much pitching that they have reconfigured the rotation to include Trachsel, who is scheduled to start Friday night in San Francisco, bumping the scheduled starter, Benson, to Sunday. As for Zambrano, who started Tuesday and was scheduled to pitch Sunday, Manager Willie Randolph indicated that the Mets would not use a six-man rotation. So by the time the team returns to Shea Stadium next Tuesday to begin a three-game series against Philadelphia, the Mets will have decided on a five-man staff. For the moment, it looks as if Zambrano is the odd man out. Randolph said before Tuesday's game that he wanted to wait and see how Zambrano pitched before guaranteeing him another chance. This was nothing new. Last week Randolph did not give Zambrano a hearty endorsement but said that Zambrano would still pitch Tuesday. "We'll see what happens," Randolph said.

Get him a copy of Chris Rock's explanation of the word fuck.

Maybe there was a risk. But a BIG risk? Not at all, especially when compared to the potential rewards.When you have the chance to get a guy who is one of the best in the league on the cheap, you do so, and offer to throw in complimentary surgery. Just look at how much we paid for our current center fielder, a lifetime .280 hitter.
