I checked four of the places I usually get lineups from and they're all tardy.

I'll never fully know what an illegal pickoff move is for a lefthander.

AG/DC May 10 2008 11:21 AM

Brandon Phillips, Metkiller.

AG/DC May 10 2008 11:23 AM

Johnny St. Anne on his way to a 27-hit shutout.

AG/DC May 10 2008 11:25 AM

Tallking with myself here. I say we hop on Belisle early before he remembers ever beating us last year.

Can anyone get this on the baseball package?

That seems like a rule I should've learned a long time ago. Thank you. See you all (two) later.

AG/DC May 10 2008 11:55 AM

One-zip as Alou trots home on the wild pitch --- after advancing first on a late break by Griffey leading to a hit, and then on a failed double play. Everybody get their autism awareness in there? Ralphers in the booth. Hush up.

Ralph went to a steakhouse between games of the only Mets day-night doubleheader Shea ever hosted prior to 2007. Such a Ralph thing to do.

Castillo walks and comes around on the single by Beltran, like a number-two hitter should do.

The game is on mlb.tv b/not EI. Lousy call by the sub ump at first--Cohen said he's there because of the DH... umps can't work two games? Does the ump scheduled to work home in the 2d game get the first game off?

AG/DC May 10 2008 12:38 PM

Mets are getting all the breakies today.

AG/DC May 10 2008 01:06 PM

Six-three with two out and two on in the third. Last batter for Santana.

AG/DC May 10 2008 01:11 PM

Bam, he finishes with a K. Now let's get into their pen and soften them up for later.

AG/DC May 10 2008 01:24 PM

The Smithereens played the undercard?

AG/DC May 10 2008 01:27 PM

Hey, Boobirds! Castillo whiffed? Too bad. You're up 6-3. Be cool. And now they're playing pre-taped encouragements to cheer. You brought that shit on yourselves.

AG/DC May 10 2008 01:30 PM

I'm Ed Bressoud and I don't care if I talk to myself! It's 10-3 Mets after a Beltran trip, and we're two relievers into this pen with a nightcap to come. Let's see if we can't get Sosa to finish thing thingie up alone.

AG/DC May 10 2008 01:43 PM

Boobirds, shut up.

OlerudOwned May 10 2008 01:53 PM

Delgado and Schneider go back-to-back. Schneid's first XBH of the season, which is oomph-worthy.

AG/DC May 10 2008 01:53 PM

Schnedier? Extra bases? YEAH!

AG/DC May 10 2008 02:07 PM

Boobirds silent when Griffey brings home two. Only bad when Designated Whipping BoysTM give up runs.

Game 1 was the "Bike to Shea" day organized by NYC DOT. 12 mile ride from Brooklyn. Apparently Mr. Met came by the bike parking lot set up but I missed him. Smithereens played two songs during the pre-game as part of Autisim Awareness Day (sponsored by VH1). They were attired in an old Seaver Jersey, a dark blue 80s pullover jersey and a green Mets jersey. Apparently are big fans. 2 songs -- one of their own and one Beatles cover. I know a fifth umpire is used on doubleheaders but I didn't know that the ump working the plate for game #2 gets game #1 off. Guess I do know. The booing of Heilman is fucking stupid (and yes, I also noticed the Feliciano got off without a peep from the crowd). All 3 relievers though had huge leads to work with and managed to screw around and not just throw strikes. Glad the offense showed up again today.

AG/DC - "Keith's favorite Shea Stadium memory: http://ultimatemets.com/gamedetail.php?gameno=2922 " Wow, a 4 inning save by the Cardinals Roy Thomas. Few relievers ever go more than 3 outs for a save anymore.

G-Fafif May 12 2008 01:10 PM

I found it a little disappointing that Keith's favorite Shea memory was Cardinal-driven. Not devastating, just disappointing.

Benjamin Grimm May 12 2008 01:24 PM

Well, if he wasn't in the clubhouse on October 25, 1986...

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 12 2008 01:29 PM

re: Smithereens. I'd have guessed DiNizio as a Yankee fan... interesting.

G-Fafif May 12 2008 02:04 PM

Keith did deliver the hit that turned the tide in the seventh game of the World Series played at Shea. That's got to be a little more special to him than the batting title. C'mon Mex -- no I in team!

AG/DC May 12 2008 02:08 PM

I might be misquoting. It might be something like "first favorite memory." Cohen gave something from when he was nine years old.

metirish May 12 2008 02:15 PM

Gary's memory was great , as an 11? year old his Dad took him to Shea for the game where the Mets clinched their first division title , Gary skipped school which was a big deal , he made his way onto the field for the celebration and took some sod which he kept in a plastic bag for years in the family garage.

G-Fafif May 12 2008 02:18 PM

Great gimmick coming up Thursday when Gary, Keith and Ron ascend to Gary's old haunt in the Upper Deck to broadcast. Welcome to our world, jocks!
