Mets win, 2-1. Ollie vs. the O's 6.2 IP 4 H 1 R 1 ER 1 BB 3 SO 1 HR 1 Awesome. Daniel Murphy: 2-4 with a homer. Putz gets the win with a scoreless eighth. Parnell gets the save with a scoreless ninth. If Maine follows that up with a similar effort tonight in Jupiter, the world will be a good place.

First ST game I watched more than a couple innings of. Ollie looked good.

I saw a few innings on TV. Parnell looked very good. His pitches appear to have a real penetrating downward force, as if they were delivered from a higher mound than ususal or something. The gun was showing him go 96, and right in at the knees of RH betters. Tatis is a mad hustler. Murphy's batting stance was causing me to have a flashback but I wouldn't know to whom. Chris Donnels or something. It might have been that his uniform was snug.

Is Murphy like Keith and Olerud --- a contact hitter that will take a homerun cut on occasion when he feels he has the pitcher set up to come into his wheelhouse? Or are his homers more like happy accidents?

I watched the whole shebang , for some reason it felt more like a real game , a game with meaning at least , because of Ollie I suppose but also the lineup. Murphy looks like a real hitter. Booth took calls so Keith was happy.First time I saw Parnell and was impressed. Yesterday during the Lennon chat I poked fun at "Janet" who said Murphy reminded her of Pete Rose...Keith last night said the same thing when Murphy was up hitting...from the other side of course.

I saw mostly the tail end of his career, and it's hard to argue with 4000 hits, but I don't really mind saying that I didn't like Rose's game much at all.
