Well, a US soldier boy on leave in West Berlin No music there that rocks, just a thousand violins He wants to hear some American Music, American Music They want to hear that sound right from the USA Well it can be sweet and lovely, it can be hard and mean But one thing's for sure: it's always on the beam They want to hear some American Music, American Music They want to hear that sound right from the USA It's a howl from the desert, the screams from the slums The Mississippi rollin' to the beat of the drums Because they're playing American Music, American Music They want to hear that sound right from the USA We got the Louisiana boogie and the Delta Blues We got country swing and rockabilly, too We got jazz, country-western and Chicago blues It's the greatest music that you ever knew Well it's American Music It's American Music It's American Music It's the greatest sound right from the USA Well a US soldier boy has to stop right in his tracks When he hears that crazy beat, he turns and doubles back Because they're playing American Music, American Music The whole world digs that sound from the USA

Yup. She's waitin' for me When I get home from work Oh, but things ain't just the same She turns out the light And cries in the dark And she won't answer when I call her name On the stairs I smoke a... Cigarette alone Mexican kids are shootin'... Fireworks below... Hey baby! It's the Fourth of July! Hey baby! It's the Fourth of July! She gives me her cheek When I want her lips But I don't have the strength to go On the lost side of town In a dark apartment We gave up trying so long ago On the stairs I smoke a... Cigarette alone Mexican kids are shootin'... Fireworks below... Hey baby! It's the Fourth of July! Hey baby! It's the Fourth of July! What ever happened I apologize So dry your tears and baby Walk outside It's the Fourth of July! On the stairs I smoke a... Cigarette alone Mexican kids are shootin'... Fireworks below... Hey baby! It's the Fourth of July! Hey baby! BABY TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE! It's the Fourth of July! (The Femmes need paragraph breaks. I keep talking to them about that.)

TransMonk Jul 04 2006 01:17 PM

Glavine deals through the first...2 Ks and a pop out. Has Sean Casey always been a whiny baby? That's 2 games in a row he's argued called 3rd strikes.

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 01:17 PM

Glavine looks good in first. Here come the Mets!

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 01:22 PM

Bell down. Jose Lima up.

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 01:23 PM

Edgy DC wrote: Bell down. Jose Lima up. Good god! I guess we have to hope for the best.

TransMonk Jul 04 2006 01:23 PM

I'd rather start Bell than Lima. Would be about the same result.

TransMonk Jul 04 2006 01:27 PM

Joe Randa = professional hitter. Wilson with an RBI single...Mets down early 1-0.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 01:33 PM

Seeing eye hits produced that run. The perils of veteran players... Sanchez throwing out Delgado by a step from short center field.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 01:44 PM

Big break for the Mets as Reyes fumbles the transfer on a potential DP and they give him the out at second. They shouldn't have. He needs a day off.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 01:51 PM

Kiner komin'.

TransMonk Jul 04 2006 01:53 PM

My God! The Dukes are going to corner the entire frozen orange juice market! Mets offense looking anemic again through 3. 1 hit (erased by a DP).

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 02:02 PM

Pirates --- Duke included --- doing a great job going out and taking Glavine's pitches on the outside corner and going the other way. I'd take some stock in the Bucs at this point. Why not? Buy low.

TransMonk Jul 04 2006 02:22 PM

A 6 hit, 4 run 4th gives the Mets a 4-2 lead.

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 02:38 PM

Reyes and Floyd smack together on a popup. Looks like everyone is OK, but Cliff took a knee to his noodle.

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 02:41 PM

Reyes shows that he's OK with a leadoff hit.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 04 2006 02:44 PM

There's a black man with a black cat I think he's singing about Cliff Floyd there. Ain't that America?

cleonjones11 Jul 04 2006 03:04 PM

Arsonist Heilman on duty This team stinks...all 25 right now

ScarletKnight41 Jul 04 2006 03:06 PM

A HPB and bases loaded walk ties the game :(

ScarletKnight41 Jul 04 2006 03:07 PM

Damn! The Mets fail to make the double play due to Wright's wide throw, and the Pirates take a 3-2 lead:(

ScarletKnight41 Jul 04 2006 03:09 PM

Sanchez's hit on an 0-2 pitch makes it 6-4 :( Joe Randa, Professional Hitter at the plate.

KC Jul 04 2006 03:17 PM

Floyd shouldna glared at Reyes last night for non-pursuit of that shallow fly to left. Awaiting a med report on Floyd, hopefully just shook up and nothing broken and no concussion.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 03:18 PM

JIm Tracy, in the role of Chuck Tanner, pulls a quick hook on Zach Duke and Matt Capps gets the DP on one pitch. Mets got to grind.

KC Jul 04 2006 03:21 PM

Floyd's got a mild concussion according to the booth.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 03:22 PM

Injury report in. Cliff has a mild concussion. Yuck. Day-to-day. At least Reyes' legs are OK.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 03:34 PM

Reyes hitting from both sides of the plate today. Still not walking, but... Let's go, Mets!

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 03:35 PM

Jose runs, ball goes to center. Jose runs, ball goes to center. Repeat as necessary.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 03:54 PM

Tying runs on with one out and Robocop coming in to pitch to Endy. I wish my brother Floyd were here.

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 03:55 PM

Endy and the bottom of the order will have to get it done.

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 03:58 PM

Endy wit da 2-bagger. 6-5!

Johnny Dickshot Jul 04 2006 03:58 PM

Two stright pitches, two runs. Wow!

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 03:59 PM

Great slicing double by Endy. Real good hitting. Unfortunately the carom was great for the Buccos, and Wright had to hold at third. But... NADY gets a hit of his own!!! Two runs!! Mets lead!! Tracy arguing!! TRACY EJECTED!! WHO WILL PLAY PERCUSSION FOR THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY!?!?

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 03:59 PM

Endy scores with a play at the plate. 2 score on the Nady basehit! They got it done!

Johnny Dickshot Jul 04 2006 04:00 PM

I mean 3 runs. Wow.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 04:00 PM

Throw beat the runner, but the catcher missed the tag. Good call by Angel Hernandez. Did I just type that?

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 04:01 PM

Endy goes in head-first, he's out.

KC Jul 04 2006 04:04 PM

cj: >>>This team stinks...all 25 right now<<< Especially the bench players, I hate when guys come in and can't do dick after lounging on the pine. This team needs to man up.

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 04:06 PM

Is that a MedicAlert necklace Hernandez has around his neck?

Edgy DC Jul 04 2006 04:07 PM

Bunt it, Jose. There's a 41-year-old on the mound.

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 04:11 PM

OK Billy don't fucking suck.

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 04:13 PM

Strike 3! 1 out!

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 04:13 PM

Beltran gets there 2 outs!

Hillbilly Jul 04 2006 04:17 PM

Put it in the books.

The Big O Jul 04 2006 04:17 PM

Billy Wagner coming through, he's throwing heat, no doubt.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 04 2006 04:22 PM

The Mets Win! The Mets Win!

KC Jul 04 2006 04:27 PM

Cleon, can you rate the players based on stink? I mean, some guys didn't super stink today, some kinda stunk, there was some stank. Is stinkiness something that can actually be rated, or does saying 25 stink, all of them, make them all equal in stinkedness or stinkitude?, Also, can we look forward to more stunkosity in the coming days or weeks ahead based on your feel for stankomity or did they only stink the last week or so?

Gwreck Jul 04 2006 05:32 PM

Report from Shea: Rick Peterson, actually wearing a jersey and no jacket. Seriously. Fairly uneventful game, Glavine giving up hits left and right really wasn't much fun. glad Xaiver could get some redemption for himself.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 04 2006 05:53 PM

Yes - the SNY announcers commented that you know that it's a hot day because Peterson was without his jacket.

Centerfield Jul 05 2006 11:46 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 05 2006 11:51 AM

We were lucky in this game. They failed to turn 3 double plays, resulting in 3 runs that would not have otherwise scored. A collision that looked bad results in Cliffy being day-to-day with a headache. Plus we get the benefit of a close call from, of all people, Angel Hernandez. I guess the Endy play makes up for the Braves game where LoDuca spiked the ball. What is with Aaron Heilman? Did he lose his arm slot again? It's bad when you see him trotting in and automatically think to yourself "God, I hope he doesn't walk the first batter again." I guess, to his credit, he didn't.

Iubitul Jul 05 2006 11:50 AM

In my house, his name is, "Oh God, not Aaron Heilman"
