Johnny Dickshot Jul 21 2007 01:34 PM

Reyes Gotay Beltran Wright Delgado Castro Anderson LF Milledge RF Sosa Furcal Pierre Martin Kent Loney Betimit Either Kemp Penny

OlerudOwned Jul 21 2007 01:45 PM

I'm really looking forward to FOX cutting out of the Mets game to show us Bonds at-bats. (Just trying to see if typing that sentence would actually cause me to burst into flames. Fox sucks.)

A Boy Named Seo Jul 21 2007 01:55 PM

Jose Reyes passed himself, huh. That almost made her crappy joke funny, pun intended.

bmfc1 Jul 21 2007 01:59 PM

Hey Mr. XFL, it's go-TIE, not go-TAY.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2007 01:59 PM

Doesn't look like Joe Buck is doing baseball this year. I haven't heard him paired with Timmy for a while now. I guess he has to prepare for football season. After all, there's only 7 or 8 weeks to go and it's never too early to start rehearsals.

bmfc1 Jul 21 2007 02:06 PM

FK: Buck seems to be allowed to pick his own schedule. Given that this is a "Game of the Week", and he's the lead announcer, you'd think he'd show up every once in awhile. Perhaps the Bonds chase and a meeting between NY and LA isn't big enough for him and he's waiting for the next Yankees game. Meanwhile, as you suggested, you know he'll be there for every week of the NFL season including all the exhibition games.

A Boy Named Seo Jul 21 2007 02:10 PM

Nice. McCarver gives an almost apologetic disclaimer before he recites statistics illustrating that lead-off walks are bad.

bmfc1 Jul 21 2007 02:10 PM

McCarver just said "no-nos." Outta site!

OlerudOwned Jul 21 2007 02:10 PM

Nice baserunning David. Castro time with no outs and 2 men in scoring position.

DocTee Jul 21 2007 02:14 PM

Was looking forward to seeing the Mets today, but here in the Bay Area Fox is showing Giants-Brewers. ugh.

Zvon Jul 21 2007 02:17 PM

Milledge's line single to right makes it 2-0 Mets :)

iramets Jul 21 2007 02:18 PM

Two runs driven in by Castro and Milledge, 2-0 middle 2nd.

A Boy Named Seo Jul 21 2007 02:22 PM

Sosa's living dangerously.

OlerudOwned Jul 21 2007 02:24 PM

Tim McCarver just started a sentence with "I have never been as wrong about...". Instantly, hundreds of like-minded inviduals opened their mouths and raised a single finger.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 21 2007 02:24 PM

I used to buy USDA Choice now I buy USDA Prime. It's Betemit.

Rockin' Doc Jul 21 2007 02:26 PM

hey, you know, if Betemit could only erase his April and May numbers for the season, he could have been an All Star. At least that's what the idiot announcing with McCarver said.

Nymr83 Jul 21 2007 02:30 PM

warning: top of the lineup coming up for the Giants, please be alert for unwarranted intteruptions of the Met game during this inning.

Nymr83 Jul 21 2007 02:33 PM

fucking idiots, he was playing CARDS during the playoff game not dominoes! edit- calling the FOX crew idiots, not anyone here

bmfc1 Jul 21 2007 02:34 PM

Mr. XFL is trying to show his knowledge of the Mets but he's trying too hard by trotting out stories from years ago.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 21 2007 02:37 PM

He's some kind of angel if you know what I mean.

Nymr83 Jul 21 2007 02:38 PM

Wright goes deep, 4-0 Mets

Zvon Jul 21 2007 02:38 PM

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2007 02:38 PM

Who is Mr. XFL? I assume you're talking about Timmy parner here but I don't know who that is.

Rockin' Doc Jul 21 2007 02:38 PM

Wright hits a 2-run bomb to centerfield.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 21 2007 02:39 PM

Can't remember the last time the meat of the Met order started and cashed in their own 2-out/none-on rally. I agree with McCarver's remark about Beltran making bb look easy when he's going well. That is especially true of his centerfielding. Love that Miller commercial. $11.50 for a hamburger?

Nymr83 Jul 21 2007 02:41 PM

very lame we're cutting to Bonds mid-inning

bmfc1 Jul 21 2007 02:42 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 21 2007 02:43 PM

When the Dick Ebersol/Vince McMahon football league was on NBC, the lead announcer was Matt Vasgersian. He's not bad but he's trying too hard today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFL#Broadcast_teams

OlerudOwned Jul 21 2007 02:42 PM

We don't even get a little postage stamp box with the Mets game? Seriously? It's not like he'll break the record here, he's still 2 away from tying the damn thing. God dammit.

Rockin' Doc Jul 21 2007 02:43 PM

The score is 1-0 San Francisco, but they're much less concerned with that than they are Bonds. So says the idiot with McCarver.

Nymr83 Jul 21 2007 02:43 PM

Bonds bounces back to the mound...gimme the Mets back assholes

Nymr83 Jul 21 2007 02:43 PM

we missed a brad penny double

bmfc1 Jul 21 2007 02:44 PM

A request for the KABOOM! providers: can we please have a Harry Potter related KABOOM for the next homer?

Johnny Dickshot Jul 21 2007 02:44 PM

Nymr83 wrote: we missed a brad penny double It shouldn't count then

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2007 02:46 PM

That means that they couldn't find any actual baseball announcers to work a baseball game. Generic all-purpose announcers doing your favorite sport usually sound out of place. But I guess he's already on the FOX payroll so they figure they might as well use him.

OlerudOwned Jul 21 2007 02:47 PM

I like the announcer commenting on the bravery of tiny insignificant little man Dave Bush going after the mighty Barry Lamar Bonds, daring to pitch to him with the bases empty and nobody out. Dave Bush? More like David, for he has slain Goliath. God damn I hate Fox.

Rockin' Doc Jul 21 2007 02:51 PM

bmfc1 - "A request for the KABOOM! providers: can we please have a Harry Potter related KABOOM for the next homer?" If Harry Potter hits a home run, I will gladly provide him an appropriate KABOOM. I just hope there is another KABOOM opportunity later in todays game.

bmfc1 Jul 21 2007 02:54 PM

FK: according to the website I just found, Vasgersian is on the Padres TV team. But you're right: he's not a regular FOX baseball guy. They needed a backup and he's on the payroll but why not have Kenny Albert do a game that's being shown in NY? http://www.nmia.com/%7Eroberts/media06.html Hey, Allisa Millano's at the game. I'm stunned!

Johnny Dickshot Jul 21 2007 03:06 PM

Fuckedy

Rockin' Doc Jul 21 2007 03:07 PM

That's not the Kaboom I was hoping to see.

Nymr83 Jul 21 2007 03:07 PM

how bout someone smacking potter's head like a baseball?

Zvon Jul 21 2007 03:09 PM

Ugh. Kemp. I dont make kabooms for the other team. That would be blasphemy.

Rockin' Doc Jul 21 2007 03:11 PM

The Dodgers are pummeling Sosa at will.

OlerudOwned Jul 21 2007 03:15 PM

Compounding the fact that this game just took a turn of the sucky, these announcers are having what appears to be a contest of stupid statement oneupsmanship. No, that isn't a Braves hat.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2007 03:21 PM

The daily Reyes pop-up makes its appearance.

DocTee Jul 21 2007 03:21 PM

]why not have Kenny Albert do a game that's being shown in NY? Kenny's doing the Bonds game (I mean Giants game)

Johnny Dickshot Jul 21 2007 03:55 PM

This is Gotay, I'm afraid. That's a Melvin-Mora-at-short-worthy error.

Zvon Jul 21 2007 03:59 PM

I never forsaw a day when seeing Bonds would put me out of my misery. 8-4, Mets dooooown. Ha--they walk him.

Zvon Jul 21 2007 04:11 PM

Good riddence Penny. Glad to be into their bullpen. :)

iramets Jul 21 2007 04:14 PM

How the hell did this game get so out of control?. Wright hit a 2-run HR, I went out for bike ride, and now it's 8-4? WTF?

Johnny Dickshot Jul 21 2007 04:16 PM

So-so gave a lot of hard hits, then a 3-run homer. Gotay with a 2-run throwing error on a DP ball. Penny regained his effectiveness

cleonjones11 Jul 21 2007 04:20 PM

LoDuca DP...game over.off to racetrack

Edgy DC Jul 21 2007 04:27 PM

Have a good time.

Zvon Jul 21 2007 04:29 PM

...yea. Dont get hit by a horse.

Zvon Jul 21 2007 04:33 PM

duan Jul 21 2007 04:34 PM

wow, that's a blast and a half by beltran.

Rockin' Doc Jul 21 2007 04:35 PM

Beltran brings the Mets to within two with his 2-run shot.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2007 04:35 PM

Wake Casey. We're back in this one.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2007 04:51 PM

OK, we've got Castro-Anderson-Milledge-Mota in the ninth, with Alomar, Green, and Hernandez on the bench. I guess you let everybody bat until you get to Mota, when you put Green in there, but you might want to send Sandy Jr. up there if they go lefty-lefty against Anderson.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2007 04:52 PM

Which they don't.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 21 2007 04:53 PM

BiFL

Edgy DC Jul 21 2007 04:53 PM

Two quick outs. Let's go, Milledge.

Rockin' Doc Jul 21 2007 04:53 PM

Milledge is our last hope.

Edgy DC Jul 21 2007 04:54 PM

Hope dies on a strikeout.

Rockin' Doc Jul 21 2007 04:54 PM

All hope is dead!! Milledge fans on three pitches.

Zvon Jul 21 2007 04:57 PM

Gah. Milledge mailed in that at bat. Game Over. Really over now Cleon.

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2007 05:18 PM

Milledge got screwed on strike 2 ... but it's not like that was a game changing call. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that there's some sort of anniversary DVD re-issue of 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' on tap and that FOX has an intere$t in it. Just a hunch.

Zvon--thank you for the Harry Potter KABOOM! I missed the last half of the game so I couldn't thank you earlier.
