METS Reyes SS Millan 2B Olerud 1B Carter C Strawberry RF Maddox 3B Christopher CF Boisclair LF Koosman P Surprised Yogi is sitting McReynolds. They're taking the tarp off the field. Looks like this thing might start on time.

In the bullpen -

Kooz looks good. Struck out Rose to lead off, popped Utley to second, speared Larry's line drive to end the first.

I just saw a shot of Mrs. Payson in the stands - LOVE her hat tonight!

G-Fafif Sep 29 2011 05:39 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Reyes bunts his way on. His hammy's been a little tender, but he's waving off Tom McKenna. Obviously he's staying in this game.

G-Fafif Sep 29 2011 05:46 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Is it really necessary to have Millan bunt here?

Reyes kept running! Garvey fell asleep on that one. First and third, nobody out. Guess the hammy's OK.

themetfairy Sep 29 2011 05:55 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

There's going to be a huge crowd - they're STILL coming off the 7 Train. But some of them are just watching the game from the overpass.

G-Fafif Sep 29 2011 05:57 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Who knew Sock Night would be such a draw? Olerud pops out to Santiago.

Posting from my Blackberry here from the Mezzanine at Shea. What a beautiful night to be at the ballpark. At times I complain about this place, but I'm glad we don't have some bland corporate named Stadium with stupid deep dimensions.

metirish Sep 29 2011 06:25 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

No worries on a new stadium , auld Payson wouldn't spend the money , meanwhile Strawberry launches one deep into the upper deck.....not a soul up there to claim it.

seawolf17 Sep 29 2011 06:41 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Can't believe it took security so long to take her down. Maddox with the weak grounder to third to end the first. Waste of a roster spot, I still say. Reeks of Yankee to me.

Swing and a line drive off the bat of Jose Reyes ... that one's up the gap in right field ... it gets past the defense ... it's going to the wall .. Reyes rounds first ... and he .... he ... he turns his body around ... he's running backwards ... he's running backwards about as fast as he can run forwards .. he's on his way to third ... he's in safely with a stand up triple ... a triple for Jose Reyes ..... folks .... i've never seen anything like this before ... Jose Reyes turned himself around ... and with his back to the oncoming bases, he ran around the infield backwards. Oh my. That is the 100th career triple for Jose Reyes. Number 100.

batmagadanleadoff Sep 29 2011 07:40 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Casey calls to the bullpen. He wants Nelson. I don't get it. Figueroa's been gone for more than a year. Casey must be losing his mind.

Edgy DC Sep 29 2011 07:43 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Bobby Ojeda and Howard Cosell talked about talked about this on the pre-game. Apparently, Pignatano always knows who Casey means. Pete Flynn driving Buzz Capra to the mound right now.

Swing and a drive. It's a fucking home run. The Mets win the World Series.

Carter sac fly to right. Nice catch by Vlad. Reyes scores easily.

Oh and two to Willie Mays … Koosman checks the rubber … gets the sign from Carter …. the new breeders are on their feet … their placards held high over on the third base side … and in right field … their placards are terrific … Koosman from the stretch … here’s the pitch to Mays … there’s a long drive to deep deep center field off the bat of Mays … no one’s gonna get this one … back goes Mays … his back to the infield … Mays makes an incredible catch … turns and fires it in …. What a catch by Willie Mays to rob Willie Mays of a triple … perhaps even an inside the park Home Run.

G-Fafif Sep 30 2011 09:04 AM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Fires back to Hernandez and first and nails Hernandez for the double play! Keith Hernandez of the Cardinals doubled off first on a GREAT scoop by Keith Hernandez of the Mets! Oh baby, I love it!

Roger Metzger pops to Brogna for the second out. Now all Bruhert has to do is get Musial. That's all. Stan the Man, btw, is the fifteenth batter of the game.

Edgy DC Sep 30 2011 10:07 AM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

It's such a perfect day here at the park, Lorn. There's Richard Nixon and Snooki taking the game in together.

metsmarathon Sep 30 2011 10:08 AM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

musial fouls the first pitch off to the right behind the dugout. what a catch by that familiar-looking fan - i swear i've seen him at at least ten of the mets' greatest games. and... did he just dash off and left a small black circle in his place? I don't know what to make of it, but i'm sure we'll be talking about it for years.

G-Fafif Sep 30 2011 10:46 AM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Bruhert strikes out Musial and this place is rocking! Ralph, did they have strikeouts when you played?" 1-1, going to the bottom of the second.

Jerry Koosman gave us a baseball night in Flushing the way they used to give us baseball nights in Flushing. The way they did in '69 and '73, before Boss Steinbrenner moved the action across the Triborough and everybody followed. "That man," Keith Hernandez whispered after taking a drag on his Marlboro light and pulling a long sip of Budweiser from the bucket the cluhouse kids leaves at his locker. "He's the reason we're still in it. The changeup." Jerry Koosman throws a changeup and some things go back to the way they were.

Fran Healy just mentioned that Millan might be the best 2b he's ever seen........Kiner shot him down with " you never saw Roger Hornsby play, which reminds of a story........."

G-Fafif Sep 30 2011 11:18 AM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Hornsby wouldn't go to the movies because he was afraid it would ruin his eyesight. Thanks, Ralph. Hadn't heard that one before...again. Oester not much of a second baseman. Tommy Davis just grounded one right by him for the leadoff runner in the second. Murphy's not gonna be asked to bunt, is he?

metsguyinmichigan Sep 30 2011 02:18 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

I just don't think Boisclair is going to pan out. He can barely stay out of Mettle's way.

themetfairy Sep 30 2011 03:39 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

How the hell did Roger McDowell create a hot foot out of one of the bullpen tomatoes?

G-Fafif Sep 30 2011 03:53 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Murphy lines it to center. Davis races as best he can to third before Bake McBride can get the ball back in. Good thinking on the Mets' part to play the bottom of the second at the Polo Grounds. Huge center field.

Edgy DC Sep 30 2011 06:04 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

This the phrase that spreads fright through the land Ordóñez to Flynny to Mex A trio of Mets blessed with sureness of hand Ordóñez to Flynny to Mex Answering always the manager's call Getting two outs from a single to ground ball Bailing 'em all out from Lolich to Wall Ordóñez to Flynny to Mex

G-Fafif Sep 30 2011 08:37 PM Re: IGT 9/29/2011: OPP @ NYM -- Offseason Denial Kicks In

Throneberry pinch-hit. He passed Murphy on the basepaths. Then Pagan passed Throneberry, which was strange, since Angel wasn't even in the game. But all this passing back and forth happened a tick before Davis could score. it's still 1-1 heading to the third. What a game!

A gapper off the bat of Van Slyke and he cruises into second for a double. Can't we ever get this guy out? Later
