This is the official one by 3 minutes on the timestamp.

TransMonk May 05 2008 07:48 PM

I'm in for the long haul. Been a while since I've taken in a West coast night game. Hopefully Scully is announcing.

bmfc1 May 05 2008 08:14 PM

Scully ties the season record by mentioning the you-know-what during the 2d AB of the game.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2008 08:15 PM

We're in trouble.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2008 08:18 PM

Big trouble.

metirish May 05 2008 08:18 PM

I think the Mets only bought the black for this trip.

Nymr83 May 05 2008 08:20 PM

KEEP THE 0-2 PITCH OUT OF THE STRIKE ZONE, THANK YOU.

soupcan May 05 2008 08:20 PM

Maybe I'll get to bed earlier than I thought tonight.

Jeff Kent puts a hole right through Perez. Seriously, I saw Pokey do that to Gumby once. I actually thought Delgado came off the bag, such was his hurry to run to the mound and see how Perez was doing. Perez "has not fooled anybody" says Scully. I've seen him recover from disasters before, and I'm hoping stll.

Gwreck May 05 2008 08:30 PM

I wouldn't be so worried if Billingsley hadn't looked so nasty against us in the first...

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2008 08:35 PM

I'd have sent Beltran.

TheOldMole May 05 2008 08:35 PM

Delgado starting to turn it up

soupcan May 05 2008 08:35 PM

The Carloses on 2nd and 3rd with one out thanks to a Delgado double. Schneider wants to tie this up.

soupcan May 05 2008 08:36 PM

Hmm. I guess not. Castillo does though...

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2008 08:37 PM

Alomar, bless his heart, is just incompetent.

Fman99 May 05 2008 08:38 PM

Dang.

soupcan May 05 2008 08:38 PM

You know what? I'm not sure Castillo's that good. Anybody else starting to think that?

TheOldMole May 05 2008 08:39 PM

Oh, shit - they're going to celebrate The Great Betrayal tonight.

Gwreck May 05 2008 08:40 PM

Forget firing Willie. Forget firing Peterson. Is nobody else able to see that Sandy Alomar is a total moron of a third base coach? Would flipping him and Tom Nieto -- or putting Jerry Manuel back out as a base coach -- really be that hard to do?

bmfc1 May 05 2008 08:42 PM

What did the SNY guys say? Scully was too busy talking about Castillo's mother making sandwiches for the workers in San Pedro de Marcoris to comment on the game.

I hope I don't get a turkey neck like Scully if I live to be as old as he is.

Fman99 May 05 2008 08:52 PM

Nice. That might have been a close play had the catcher not thrown to the wrong side.

soupcan May 05 2008 08:52 PM

Reyes walks and steals second. Time for another RBI Church.

soupcan May 05 2008 08:52 PM

Or not.

TransMonk May 05 2008 08:52 PM

Scully is the man.

TransMonk May 05 2008 09:01 PM

Billy Wagner couldn't have made that play. Damn!

Gwreck May 05 2008 09:07 PM

Gary and Ron talking about how thick Billingsley's legs are, and how his and Jonathon Broxton's are the thickest in the league. How quickly they forget Heath Bell.

metirish May 05 2008 09:08 PM

Any sign of Seo these days? , probably at the game. Ian Ziering right behind home plate , first time he's been seen on TV in 15 years.

You can count me on that bandwagon.

Gwreck May 05 2008 09:11 PM

Only 588 games remaining on Luis Castillo's contract...

metirish May 05 2008 09:13 PM

Castillo is the worst , I'm sick of watching pitchers go into deep counts every fucking batter , when was the last time the Mets were involved in a game that lasted less than two hours , two hours I can do tonight but not this crap.

Frayed Knot May 05 2008 09:17 PM

"when was the last time the Mets were involved in a game that lasted less than two hours " Two hours? ... dude, we've only got 1 game under 2:30 so far and only 3 or 4 under 2:45 We're averaging well over 3:00 this season.

metirish May 05 2008 09:21 PM

Yeah it's wishful thinking FK , Schneider throws another one away .

AG/DC May 05 2008 09:21 PM

Tell me Lo Duca couldn't have done that.

metirish May 05 2008 09:22 PM

I know Schneider has been injured and missed spring training but he's shown nothing in defence.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2008 09:23 PM

Tip of the cap to Oliver Perez for pitching pretty well since the first.

TransMonk May 05 2008 09:23 PM

C'mon offense, RISP are your friends.

AG/DC May 05 2008 09:26 PM

Jones being booed like nobody's business. I don't know that I've ever seen the Dodger faithful care enough to lash out at somebody like that. Or even be explicily rude. You know what they say: In New York we say fuck you but mean good morning. In Los Angeles, they say good morning, but mean fuck you. Jones got a hardy good morning there.

Third time's a charm, David. Go get 'em.

metirish May 05 2008 09:30 PM

Still has that arm Furcal.

Frayed Knot May 05 2008 09:31 PM

We'd have a better chance of scoring one of these innings if we'd quit having Perez lead off.

AG/DC May 05 2008 09:32 PM

That looked like a hit all the way.

metirish May 05 2008 09:34 PM

Blake DeWitt hits his first major league home run.

TransMonk May 05 2008 09:41 PM

Ugh...game getting away in a hurry.

AG/DC May 05 2008 09:41 PM

Saw it. Powderfuck, I'd like somebody to get around on Billingslea.

Nymr83 May 05 2008 09:42 PM

5-0 was my personal "going to bed mercy rule." Lets hope I see an amazing comeback when i check tommorow.

AG/DC May 05 2008 09:42 PM

The Kemper Open. Let's just score, 'kay?

AG/DC May 05 2008 09:50 PM

OKay, Beltran gets a leadoff triple. Alomar experimenting with the hold sign.

If nothing else, Perez is getting his exercise covering first today.

TransMonk May 05 2008 10:02 PM

The DP was nice. Time for the big inning, offense.

DocTee May 05 2008 10:05 PM

Good way to start the frame.

DocTee May 05 2008 10:05 PM

Pagan in the city of angels.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2008 10:06 PM

Well we got Billingsley outta there. Willie now using Pagan merely as a decoy PHer: He's announced, Torre calls on Biemel and I guess Easley will bat.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 05 2008 10:08 PM

No he hits...

DocTee May 05 2008 10:08 PM

Beimel is ug-ly. God.

TransMonk May 05 2008 10:08 PM

Pitching Change Update: Philly is clobbering the D'bags 9-2 in the only other NL East action tonight.

Frayed Knot May 05 2008 10:08 PM

Nah, you forget Pagan is a switchie

DocTee May 05 2008 10:10 PM

Elsewhere Toronto gets another shutout, and the Angles have their second 6-0 starter as Ervin Santana joins Joe Suanders.

Beimel making a strong case to be named best 97 by SI.

TransMonk May 05 2008 10:16 PM

7 LOB My, oh, my.

TransMonk May 05 2008 10:43 PM

Schneider throws out a baserunner! One last chance for this uninspiring offense.

themetfairy May 05 2008 10:52 PM

That was profoundly unsatisfying. When these guys are flat, they are truly flat.
