Digital video of 2005 games online?

Hey, does anyone know of any sites that have dowloadable video of 2005 Mets games online? I'm guessing the answer is "no, who would want to do that?" but I thought I'd ask. I have a little side project I'm working on, and having video footage would be delightful. Thanks!

FYI, MLB.com has "minivision" clips available for download for the low low fee of $.99. Unfortunately, they don't have the game I was looking for, but there are a lot on there--Piazza's video tribute included, which is kind of nifty. I'm expanding my search to Mets audio clips--I checked out WFAN, but didn't really find much. Any help would be appreciated!

Which game are you looking for?

September 3, 2005--the infamous Takatsu incident. I was listening to Ben Harper's "Bring the Funk" the other day, and decided a music video based around that game with Willie as Ben Harper would be pretty fucking funny. Ideally, I'd have a clip of the after-game commentary by Willie as well. I have a feeling it might be more effort than it's worth, but I'm giving it a shot. I may try and do a more machinama thing, though, and reproduce the event using MVP 2005--could be funnier that way, although even weirder.

It would begin with game sounds only in the seventh inning, in recap format--Lowell's single, Gonzalez' fly out, Harris's single, Padilla coming in, Pierre flying out, then Castillo walking. Cue music as Willie walks to the mound. ]When it's on the one you know the funk's begun When you are down and out there is no doubt You need the funk Willie signaling to the pen. Takatsu trotting out. ]Just bring the funk Bring the funk Bring the funk Now what's the problem everybody's got them Just get the hole out of your soul And bring the funk Bring me the funk Bring the funk Clip from Willie's after-game interview, over which: ]If you got a glass closet don�t you throw no bones There's only getting until the getting's gone So pass me the funk Got to have my funk I need my funk Got to have my funk Cut to Met's players looking anxious. ]Some are jiving Some are shuck Some are just down on their luck They just need the funk They got to have the funk Got to have the funk Just bring 'em some funk Just bring the funk Bring it Transition to Floyd ]Stay black to Wright ]Stay white to Pedro dancing in sprinklers ]Stay brown Just get on down Bring the funk Got to bring the funk Transition to slo-mo close-up of WIllie's face in post-game interview ]Bring the funk I need it Cabrera's at bat, Takatsu's reaction, Willie's reaction: ] Well it's got to be solid That's what you call it Funk me up funk me down Funk me sideways funk me all ways Bring the funk Got to bring the funk Bring the funk Some things money can't fix Some things only money will do the trick It's not the end of the worldut I can see it from here So bring me the funk Just bring me the funk Bring the funk Silence, then Willie's after-game interview with the funk quote.
