Santana will try to get his 100th win on the MLB.

I don´t have a good feeling about this, either.

Not too excited about the batting order here...

karina said...

great King James catch!

Steve Sax said...

Pierre darts around for the Dodgers' first run, and the ESPN-hyped Jose Reyes does the same in the bottom of the first for the Mets.

Delwyn Ks on the changeup. Welcome to the bigs!

Steve Sax said...

Ah yes, the joys of listening to Jon Miller and Joe Morgan on ESPN.

Yay.

Steve Sax said...

Maza draws the walk! Yeah, it's Kuroda, but still, a good AB by the Venezuelan.

Steve Sax said...

nice 10-pitch inning for Kuroda!

Even better, he's not a latin-named player, so I don't have to hear Miller's unique pronunciations of his name each inning.

Steve Sax said...

New game for all you out there: Spot the Joe Morgan mistake. CLocks start....now.

Steve Sax said...

Hey, pop fly out to left from Slappy!

Steve Sax said...

blah blah blah, reyes keeps getting in scoring position, and wright knocks him in.

2-1 Mets.

Steve Sax said...

Shit, Beltran homers, and it's 4-1. Kuroda is sweating profusely.

Erin said...

I was debating whether to watch this game or overpay for a movie in my hotel room.

The Beltran homer (and now the Church homer) have made my decision much, much easier. I'll check in later.

Steve Sax said...

6-1, Kuroda is a mess, and Torre is looking like he's lost.

It's over....

karina said...

Me: i don't want Santana to win tonight.
Mom: why? i thought he's one of your favorite players.
Me: he is, but he's pitching against the Dodgers.
Mom: hmmm, but he's venezuelan, the Mets need to win and if they do, your brother will be happy.
Me: how about the Dodgers, how about my happiness?
Mom: *silence*

half an hour later...

my brother enters into my room and starts bragging about the five run lead and yesterday's comeback...

Orel said...

Karina, we can take care of your brother. Just say the word.

karina said...

He'll lose his car keys tomorrow morning, misteriously . He drives a loooong commute to get to his work, so i'll drive him crazy for 15 minutes.

Steve Sax said...

Karina, I blame your brother. Make sure his car keys end up in the gnome's hands, 15 minutes later.

Good night everybody!

karina said...

Your wishes are orders to me. Night!

Steve Sax said...

That's interesting, Karina. In converse, your orders are wishes to me. Hmm.
