ScarletKnight41 Apr 14 2006 07:13 PM

Perfect! I have just enough time to finish my homework before the game starts :)

KC Apr 14 2006 07:25 PM

Hafta post Rain Song once a year ... It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before. It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low. It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom. Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune. Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from time to time. Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter I never thought it would ever thaw. I cursed the gloom that set upon us... But I know that I love you so These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall This is the wonder of devotion - I seek the torch we all must hold. This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall.

Gwreck Apr 14 2006 07:52 PM

First pitch now set for 8:40 EDT.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2006 08:19 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 14 2006 08:38 PM

Rainy Friday, and I wake up in the late afternoon Call up KC just to see how he's doing "Hello, what up Edge?!" "Yo Sage, whats rocking?" "ou thinking what i'm thinking?" "Brews and Mets?!" Then it's happening! But first, my thirst, comin' low like Innis Let's hit up Paddy Reilly's and mack on some Guinness No doubt, that bar's got irish and Dickshot And enough onion rings to get a dope blood clot

They used to have a copy of Lazy Sunday over at www.youtube.com, but NBC gave them a cease and desist order.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2006 08:40 PM

Game on, and my mlb.tv is working. Gary and Ronnie are breathing vapor in the booth. Stupid Gary ruined everything, and now the screen goes dead during commercial breaks.

Elster88 Apr 14 2006 08:46 PM

Gary says the crowd is loud today. Good job by the Met fans, on a cold rainy Friday night.

Gwreck Apr 14 2006 08:47 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 14 2006 08:50 PM

Friend called me from Shea at about 7, reported deep lines at the ticket windows. 11 pitches, 10 were strikes for Glavine in 1st inning, with 2 Ks. NICE. EDIT: correcting pitch total

Edgy DC Apr 14 2006 08:48 PM

Glavine really seemed to be going out there with cahnfidence.

Jose whiffs swinging at junk at his shins and ankles. He hasn't looked so good, and yet has a seven-game hitting streak and a .342 average.

It sounds like they're chanting for Beltran, but I can't make it out.

A huge roar when he made contact, even though it was obvious it was a pop fly to the outfield. "The Met fans came to make noise tonight"

Edgy DC Apr 14 2006 08:53 PM

In Reyes's defense, Beltran is chasing the low change also.

Gary: 2,361st strikeout moves Glavine into sole possession of 28th place all time, passing Charlie Hough. Who was that? It was the first out of the second.

If the fans keep cheering Beltran, I think he'll forget about the booing eventually. Just like how the crowds won over Maximus in Gladiator. Just once I want to hit a bomb and have 55,065 people jump to their feet and cheer me. That's why I'm jealous of ballplayers. That and the million dollar salaries and willing groupies.

That's a good one, Zvon.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2006 09:16 PM

Diaz checks his swing but makes the mistake of taking a half step back towards the dugout before realizing that he hadn't been called out for it. The appeal to the first-base umpire: "Did he go?" "If he thinks he went, of course he did." It's probably some degee of projection, but Diaz is looking like an unhappy bench player, coming up after the guy whose job he wants hits a ball into the parking lot.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 14 2006 09:17 PM

Very nice Warewolf :)

Elster88 Apr 14 2006 09:21 PM

Great crowd tonight. I almost want to be there.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2006 09:23 PM

Xavier Nady was one of the most prolific home runs ever to don a New York Mets uniform. His tape measure shot over the leftfield wall out at Shea which is still sailing as we speak over the bullpen wall and yet still going and going and gone right over the yellow school bus parked in the Shea Stadium parking lot and bouncing and bouncing some more till a final roll as the thunder still echoes to a crescendo amidst the misty cool night fall air that dusts Shea Stadium so many seasons ago. Only Darryl Strawberry could muster as much more as XAVIER THE X-MAN NADY could but the sudden quickness, the torrid ascent of a simple baseball crushed into the heavens could never be matched. At least Strawberry had the Shea Stadium scoreboard to bounce off here and there but to me XAVIER THE X-MAN's prolific shot is still sailing forever in my dreams and forever in New York Mets folklore. That Xavier Nady home run almost ALMOST matched a Dwight Gooden fastball in Doc's prime. --- Michelle

In game stat: Capuano led the majors with 12 pickoffs last year.

Elster88 Apr 14 2006 09:31 PM

Lo Duca doubles in Reyes. Pulls it off the end of the bat lands down the line in the outfield.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 14 2006 09:32 PM

LoDuca drives in Reyes!

TheOldMole Apr 14 2006 09:32 PM

Great bat handling by LoDuca.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2006 09:33 PM

LoDuke doubles him home with maybe an assist from the distraction of Jose Reyes. It's Passover and Capuano's move doesn't look altogether kosher.

"Brass Monkey" by the Beastie Boys? Is Wright old enough to remember that?

The Big O Apr 14 2006 09:38 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 14 2006 09:39 PM

I'll have to check, but it seems like a disproportionate number of our runs — especially our "big" innings — have come with 2 outs. I don't know if that means anything in a cosmic Mets-sense. But I'm willing to like it.

Willets Point Apr 14 2006 09:38 PM

Capuano is my congressman's name too.

Fun to hear Ron Darling read Capuano's body language and say that he's fighting himself.

Ralph not sounding good, still it's great to hear him for the first time this year.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2006 09:45 PM

Ralph Kiner in the house. Not sounding so great. Reyes and Wright are "those two young kids." Beltran is "Beltry." He sometimes gets sharper as the conversation grows. Sometimes not.

Gwreck Apr 14 2006 09:45 PM

Hernandez, Reyes, and Franco all giving Delgado a lot of sh*t for drawing two pickoff throws from Capuano. Tom McCarthy references Retrosheet on the broadcast when the dig up the details of Delgado's last SB (April 2002, on a double steal with Mondesi that set up a 12-11 win).

Willets Point Apr 14 2006 09:47 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 14 2006 09:50 PM

It's Ralph, you've got to love him like you love your grandfather. OE: Unless your grandfather is an abusive alcholic prick. Then you probably don't think of him so fondly.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2006 09:47 PM

Christ, he makes a decent point about Glavine, then goes on a tangent about the sixty-two team and stops dead in the middle of a sentence. HANG IN THERE, BIG GUY!

TheOldMole Apr 14 2006 09:53 PM

Nice D by Wright and Delgado.

Willets Point Apr 14 2006 09:53 PM

!Me gusta David Wright!

GYC Apr 14 2006 09:54 PM

And Delgado continues to shut up anyone who would potentially bitch at his fielding. He should copyright the tagout. Anyone else loving this father-figure role he is playing, too? You saw him laughing and ribbing Franco from 1st base after the pick off throw. You saw him vs. Reyes and Anderson after the pickoff throws before they were on the field, with them ribbing him about it. You see him shaking his finger at Wright, smiling, after the throw. Nothing can go wrong in Metsland. Nothing.

TheOldMole Apr 14 2006 09:54 PM

I brook no criticism of Ralph Kiner.

Zvon Apr 14 2006 09:55 PM

Glavine gets out of a jam. 7 Ks in 4 innings....impressive. Up to 72 pitches tho.

HA!

I'm not kidding, Reynolds had a HUGE problem with Bob Murphy's "gold watch" being a framed, team signed uni of Murphy42 with 42 being the years of service Bob Murphy gave the franchise. Reynolds really thought it was a slap in Jackie Robinson's face, and that rather than it being a gold watch, that it was the Mets retiring 42 for Bob Murphy!

It's funny, Ralph gets better as he goes, getting more comfortable, but they can't devote too much time warming his old mind up, lest his middle-innings presence run over into the late innings, so Gary and Ronnie were pumping him like a slot machine. Worked OK, though.

They had Bradford warming but no sign of the Sandman yet.

From the Brew Crew board.. ] If Clark gets on base, we need to pinch run the Italian sausage for him

]I dunno Edge. This early in the season this was a classic set up. Glavine-106 pitches 6 innings 7th-Heilman 8th-Sanchez 9th- Wags ...and they HAVE to use Wagner here. I don't know either, but four straight Ks suggested to me that Glavine still had something in the tank, expecially with few of his 107 pitches coming in tight spots.

I do think personally Glavine may have had another inning in him........ More into the season Id think you do try and squeeze that inning out of him, if its dictated. For now, gotta establish that pen. Even if it means we shit bricks here and there.

Say your prayers little one Don’t forget, my son To include everyone Tuck you in, warm within Keep you free from sin Till the sandman he comes Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Exit light Enter night Take my hand Off to never never land Something’s wrong, shut the light Heavy thoughts tonight And they aren’t of snow white Dreams of war, dreams of liars Dreams of dragon’s fire And of things that will bite Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Exit light Enter night Take my hand Off to never never land Now I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Pray the lord my soul to take Hush little baby, don’t say a word And never mind that noise you heard It’s just the beast under your bed, In your closet, in your head Exit light Enter night Grain of sand Exit light Enter night Take my hand We’re off to never never land

Wow. What a nailbiter. Great game. From my couch, felt like playoff atmosphere. I can't WAIT til tomorrow's game. Mets are playing well and it's 78 degrees and sunny. What could be better?

It looked cold out there, so you could see your breath, but it was really just foggy. The Mets were sort of foggy, and got away with more sloppiness they oughta have. But Glavine was awful good. The delay was 90 minutes and I was 40 minuites early, so I spent a lotta time plopped on my butt on concrete while a lot of people were drinking. Pretty much as a reult of that fight Gw referred to, they stopped selling beer and it was only the 4th inning. Count me a fan of "alumimum bottles" which are really just cans in a different shape? But they are cold. When the beer vendor came by in the first inning, I asked him for an aluminum bottle -- I saw some in his basket -- but they were empties and so I said, never mind, I'll get one at the stand. He must have been pissed. Not to be all cliched, but it's true: The '06 Mets are doing things and getting breaks that the 04 or 03 Mets wouldn't have. The 2-out runs and the clutchy outs recorded by Sanchez. Don't know what was wrong was Heilman but he didn;t look too good. Also didn't get a look at whether LoDuca ran thru a stop sign or whatever since me and I think everyone else at the stadium was watching the play at first base. But that was dumb too. Somehow we got away with it. Glavine was awfully strong but I wasn't second-guessing WWSB for yanking him. He'd worked pretty hard and did a lot of work at the plate. Poor Capuano got 3 DP balls in the same inning but two runs scored against him. Nady's HR was absolutely rocked. Pretty good Shea debut despite the rain delay.
