El Duque had a nice 1-2-3 inning to start the game on 10 pitches. Reyes flies/lines out to deep center on the first pitch.

Is it me, or does Beltran look like he has his head up his ass in center early on this season.

Anyone ever see a guy wearing designer mirror shades under his catcher's mask before?

Benjamin Grimm Apr 14 2007 12:06 PM

And Delgado follows that by grounding to the pitcher. Ugh. Unless Wright gets a hit, a leadoff triple by Endy may be wasted.

Chavez on 3rd with nobody out and the Mets can't bring him in.

Kid Carsey Apr 14 2007 12:07 PM

Nice to see Willie coach Reyes on the bench (along with the other coach, Julio Franco - yes I'm ripping off Gary) and stay on him about stuff. Jose seems receptive, which is nice too. There's a segment on the Mets Weekly show (not sure what it's called, it might actually be Mets Weekly) that has Randolph behind the cage mic'd and some interaction with players and stuff. Does he blow an X or an O from time to time when put under a scope? Sure. But anyone who thinks that this ain't his team, he lacks managerial skills, is ill-tempered, or will fail as a big league manager is sorely mistaken imho.

A run cannot score on the third out if it's a forceout. The run can score on the third out if it's a tag out, provided the run crosses the plate before the tag is made. But no matter when a run crosses a plate relative to a force out, it doesn't count if it's the third out. Try explaining that to your foreign date at her first baseball game. Then explain it to David Wright.

That's not like Beltran....

Kid Carsey Apr 14 2007 12:46 PM

There's no reason not to respond, we're of vastly differing opinions on Willie. I'm likely a small percentage of this venue that feels the way I do, but I like him. A lot.

Kid Carsey Apr 14 2007 12:47 PM

6-1 Nats as balls are flying out all over. Hernandez plunks next batter, and gets run by big bad blue ....

A Boy Named Seo Apr 14 2007 12:48 PM

Uh oh.

OlerudOwned Apr 14 2007 01:02 PM

Lopez retaliates for the Nats by beaning a fan in the face.

This game ranks highly on the dumbth scale so far: bad swings, bad situational play, bad pitches, bad decisions, bad umpiring. Exactly the kind of game that you can grab with a good last couple of innings and wind up feeling like you stole something and got away with it.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2007 01:35 PM

Eighth inning rally against the over-used Micah Bowie. Dos Carloses puertoriquenos on base, no out. Wright me.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2007 01:36 PM

Damn. Hits it to the top of the wall, where it's caught. I mean, day-umn.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2007 01:38 PM

Verde. Muy malo.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2007 01:56 PM

Damn, Jose. That was your pitch.

Edgy DC Apr 14 2007 01:58 PM

Dew. Game ends. Eleven hits but only two runs.

Kid Carsey Apr 14 2007 02:04 PM

Fugly gets a new entry in the Fug and Fugsters. Not likely there will be a game tomorrow, would be nice to unfug asap.

Pretty scuzzy performance from what I saw and heard (thankfully, very little).
