I never knew El Duque likes U2 so much.

What's the point of the vest if the undershirt is the same color as the jersey? Stoopid. Them: =orange]Us:

Does David Newhan even own a glove?

Reyes would have beat that one out (LoDuca's grounder that is).

Rockies' batting helmets have the same type of two-tone effect that the Mets started. Did they have it last season, too?
|

Is it just me, or are the Mets turning a lot of DP's this season?

Ah, a nice slump buster by David Wright. The second 75 begins.

I can't tell Aaron Cook apart from John Thomson.

Possibly. The Rockies have been in the vanguard of ugly uniform design throughout the franchise's history.
|

Dukey was worrying me there. I hope he's got that out of his system. It's the freakin' Rockies after all.

Finley not catching that one. I love leadoff triples by Jose. Doesn't matter which one.
|
| Willets Point Apr 24 2007 05:58 PM |
|
Watching Finley go flat against the wall brings back memories of Todd Pratt's walk-off. Valentin on third with a stand-up triple.
|
| OlerudOwned Apr 24 2007 06:01 PM |

Correction. I like leadoff triples when we get the run home.
|
| Batty31 Apr 24 2007 06:02 PM |

No matter how many times I see that play, it always looks to me that Finley had caught that ball.

WIth a little work, this could be the first line of an Old English epic about the struggles of a Met warrior.

I think the Rocks have had some handsome combinations, but they never knew when to leave well enough alone.

2-out double for Duque, but Reyes wipes the egg off of Cook's face by bouncing out to second.
|
| OlerudOwned Apr 24 2007 06:41 PM |
|
The way that ball spun out of Duque's hand and coming off the bat, it looked like Wiffle.

I'd seriously rather see Chavez or Newhan here. Gimmie some crow, Julio.

Great hustle by Shawn. Now a pinch hitter, and let's get the win for El Duque.

And Wagner walks Joe Barry Carroll with the best Rockies coming up.

Uh-oh, Wagner is doing this thing that he does sometimes.

2-0 on Atkins.

ho-hum. The Mets get yet another double play to end an inning. They're getting good at that this year.

Great effort by the Purple Tulip. I think he was out, but I'm not sure.

The linescore says we're losing right now.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 24 2007 07:50 PM |

Uncool. I think if Green backs off, Beltran makes that play.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 24 2007 07:51 PM |

Agee makes that play.

That was sweet,I have noticed that Wright doesn't look all that happy greeting his mates after they get a big hit.....he seems lost in thought.....
|
| Rockin' Doc Apr 24 2007 08:01 PM |

Can't be done Edgy because Easley's home run was off the charts.
|
| OlerudOwned Apr 24 2007 08:02 PM |

The man had a 3-homer game against Atlanta last season. He was born to be a Met.

metirish - "That was sweet,I have noticed that Wright doesn't look all that happy greeting his mates after they get a big hit.....he seems lost in thought....." Probably thinking, I remember when I use to do that. There is still time for Wright to get a big hit tonight.

More crow, now for Schoeneweis.

Maybe it's been Wax-Sculpture David suiting up this whole time.
|

This is the Schoeneweis they meant to sign.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 24 2007 08:07 PM |

I had mentally resigned myself to a loss and was stunned when Easley hit that homer. Now Beltran is batting with Lo Duca the winning run on first. Vanis takee!
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 24 2007 08:08 PM |
|
Oops, make that Endy at first. Lo Duca leaves for the pinch runner.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 24 2007 08:10 PM |
|
Prediction: the pinch-running assignment by Endy pays off when Ramon hits the game-winner two innings or so down the road.
|

Cohen thinks that Affeldt is struggling because of problems with his c-word.

Nice way to grind out the walk.
|
| Willets Point Apr 24 2007 08:17 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 24 2007 08:18 PM |

A walk for Wright. Getting on base won't count for much in this situation but it keeps the inning alive.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 24 2007 08:17 PM |
|
Wright walks. Hopefully Moises ends it here, but if he gets out, I wonder if he gets double-switched out of the game since Endy is currently in the lineup.
|
| Rockin' Doc Apr 24 2007 08:18 PM |
|
Wright really battled Affeldt to earn that walk. Of course, a hit would have been nicer. At least now the Mets get a hot hitter to the plate. Come on Moises, I have faith in you.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 24 2007 08:19 PM |
|
He might. On the other hand, Scott Schoeneweis may easily have another inning or so in him. Make it a moot point, Moises.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 24 2007 08:23 PM |
|
Schoeneweis is still in the game, but the double-switch did happen. Endy's in left, Castro hitting in Alou's slot.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 24 2007 08:25 PM |
|
Now Schoeneweis is out-the-game. He gets the first out and here comes Joe Smith. Smith will be due to bat third in the bottom of the inning. Who's left in the pen? Burgos. Sele. Anyone else?
|
| Frayed Knot Apr 24 2007 08:25 PM |
|
Plenty of pen left: Smith, Sele & Burgos -- but just Newhan on the bench unless I'm missing someone.
|
| GYC Apr 24 2007 08:28 PM |
|
|
Is Feliciano available?
|
| Edgy DC Apr 24 2007 08:29 PM |
|
Smith due up third. Bad switch.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 24 2007 08:33 PM |
|
Green leads off with a walk. Valentin bunts him over. Ron Darling wanted him to bunt. I didn't. Now let's see what Newhan can do.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 24 2007 08:34 PM |
|
Hey, look! It's Bob Apodaca! I wonder if he's shaken hands with Jerry Grote lately.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 24 2007 08:35 PM |
|
Nice reference. Exie Tom Martin up in the pen.
|
| OlerudOwned Apr 24 2007 08:35 PM |

Thank you balky. Put it to the sky, Newhan.
|
| Frayed Knot Apr 24 2007 08:36 PM |
|
I'm envisioning a single and realizing that I don't know much about the OF arms ... but now the balk brings the arms into play on a fly ball!!!
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 24 2007 08:36 PM |
|
Spier forgets to let go of the ball on the pitch. Green balked to third with one out.
|
| Rockin' Doc Apr 24 2007 08:36 PM |
|
I don't like the sac bunt there. You now have to take Smith out and burn your last bat on the bench. Hopefully, Newhan will serve me a big steaming platter of crow.
|
| Rockin' Doc Apr 24 2007 08:38 PM |
|
Newhan goes down swinging for the second out. Damn and I was hungry. Victory stands 90 feet away in the person of Shawn Green. Come on Jose.
|
| Rockin' Doc Apr 24 2007 08:39 PM |
|
Don't let them disrespect you like that Endy. Make them pay.

Forget never having to pay for his own dinner in New York. Endy doesn't even have to walk on his own feet. I will carry that man around in one of those Indian curtained booth things if I need to.

Just got done watching the game... I had programmed the DVR to record 3 and a half hours, and it cut off right after Endy crossed first base. It was destiny, I tell ya.
|

Great game. Bad crowd. The pitch speed board didn't seem to be working but I wonder exactly how slow that El Duque pitch to Helton (hit for a comebacker to end an inning) was. Couldn't have been more than 55. Misc.
|
| Willets Point Apr 24 2007 09:52 PM |

Gary and Ron commented that Hernandez timed his exit from the dugout to be in synch with the line "Hello, hello..." in ths song. May just be coincidence but that is what I was commenting on.
|
| Johnny Dickshot Apr 24 2007 09:57 PM |

It was 52! The left field side pitch speed scoreboard was down but right field showed it. With nothing to compare it to, I'd say the crowd was OK. It was the 7th-inning stretch before you knew it. I have to give props to Green who didn't look great tonight but hustled his ass off. I had no faith in Easley at all. None. It was 0-2 at one point! I was thinking, Don't forget your bag on your way out. Big asshole on the 7 train on the way home shouted at young Yankee fans the whole time FIRST PLACE! LAST PLACE! Considered pushing him onto the platform for acting like a Yankee fan but he got off at 74th to terrorize passengers on the E or LIRR.

I actually had the remote in my hand ready to turn the TV off. Cool game. I can't believe they were playing back...with Endy you always have to consider the bunt.

They were up at third. Todd Helton may have to shoulder this one.
