The first sign of spring to me is not the first spring training game, but the first spring training box score. (Remember when the Sporting News used to print them?) I can hardly wait. Later

I had only last names for the Mets, and that was fine, as we know the Mets' A-team names a lot better than B-team Nats, but the Mets column was offputtingly narrow. So I started writing in names, but for some reason, BS starting pouring out of me. And pouring. One name would come out stupider than the previous one. I got on a rhole and poor Josh got in the way of my stupid.

For us out-of-towners, the SNY feed is on MLB Network.

Ceetar Mar 05 2012 04:18 PM Re: Spring Training IGT - Nationals @ Mets 3/5/12

1-2-3 for Gee. no-hitter intact. Let's do this.

Ceetar Mar 05 2012 04:25 PM Re: Spring Training IGT - Nationals @ Mets 3/5/12

Torres walk, SB, Murphy single, Torres takes out Flores leg to score on Ankiel's throw. 1-0 Good guys.

So great to watch Mets baseball....great to hear the ump with the exaggerated STRIIIIIIKE call...............betting Byrdek becomes a go to guy to talk to this season.....providing of course he pitches decently ....

Ceetar Mar 05 2012 05:01 PM Re: Spring Training IGT - Nationals @ Mets 3/5/12

Harvey looked good in his first inning.

Harvey as the bases loaded with one out....good test for him..

Ceetar Mar 05 2012 05:16 PM Re: Spring Training IGT - Nationals @ Mets 3/5/12

gets the 2-6-3 DP. And they looked good turning it. No damage. Harvey didn't really have the control but it's Spring and his first 'big' league exposure. Had some good pitches.

Keith is shocked that Kevin dared mention Voldemort by name.

Ah, sweet televised HD Mets baseball. Oh how I missed you. Full release!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 05 2012 07:49 PM Re: Spring Training IGT - Nationals @ Mets 3/5/12

Speaking of blowing it open, the Mets somehow turned a 2nd and 3rd, 0 out, 3-0 count situation into a scoreless inning after Loewen whiffed and two other stiffs couldn't get it done. One guy (May?) did everything right but wound up lining out to the first baseman. Bad job by Loewen though.

You don't want to peak too early. Mission accomplished.

I caught the first six innings on the internets and was extremely happy to have some Mets baseball back. I'm also very happy that the black drop-shadow is nowhere to be found. Obviously, the unis have dropped it, but even the logos around the stadium and SNY's swipe graphics don't have the black anymore. Lovin' it. Torres looked like he was ready to show he can lead off. Also, I appreciated the couple of bases the team swiped. Jose who? This team may or may not be any good. But it does look like they will at least be entertaining to watch.

highest rated Spring opener yet. (Only 2006 was also at night) Maybe fansare still interested.
