music to my ears:
“Hello, I’m Howie Rose with Ed Coleman. Wayne Hagin is under the weather tonight…”
sleepy
This late starting is completely unacceptable. If people are foolish enough to live on the wrong side of the country, that’s their problem. Besides, it’s my understanding that everyone on the left coast is a musician, an entertainer, or an unemployable Singles-style slacker. They could start this game at 8 PM regular time and the coffee shops would just have to show the game.
have you stepped out of your box?
look, buy some suntan lotion, a pair of sandles and some shades and chill out. it’s beautiful out there man…or gal…

I refuse to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is the ability to make a right turn on a red light.
that's classic! i lived in san diego and L.A. for 13 years
what is it out here on the east coast that you can’t turn right on red?

classic is right
It won the Best Picture Oscar in 1977.
broadway versus the walk of fame
apples and oranges. both have their pros and cons.
i’ll take a dodger dog in L.A. but if I want a good slice of pie, it’s gotta be new yawk!

totally agree
If those wealthy entertainment moguls have to listen to the game on the radio in their cars while they’re stuck in three-hour traffic jams, that’s not my problem.
oh, dear lord.
MLB.com’s t.v. edition … i’ve got to listen to Tony Gwinn? hell of a hitter but a nasaly voice

really?
IMHO, Tony Gwynn is one of the smartest and most fun ex-ballplayers to listen to. I think my dream ex-player broadcast team (in a few years from now) would be him and Pedro Martinez.
lol!
that would be a hell of a combination. tony knows his stuff, but his voice aint made for radio

well, the mouth guard wouldn't have hurt
but you’re right, for accuracy’s sake, I should’ve said Pelfrey wished he were pitching in Groucho glasses.
sorry
I mean Young. Fucking late night games.

anyone notice this move by the batters
left handers going away from the ball as they swing. i can’t tell if it’s to try and take advantage of momentum to go towards first or what?
it all started w/ichiro. Koske (CUBS) does it as well

In general, it’s probably nice not to dump too many pictures into the game threads, anyway (this means you, fat cat posters).
What you want to put inside the “img src=” tag is the URL of the picture itself, not the URL of the wrapper page. There’s even a little button up above the comment text area that wraps the picture URL in an img tag for you (the little tree thing).
yeah, i see the tree. hmm. i saw the prompt too.
but if i’m on the page w/the pic, where do i get the link for the pic and NOT the page?

In Safari, it’s “Copy Image Address”. No idea what the other browsers call it.

very nice.
I particularly like Akinori Iwamura’s bemused attempt to tag the guy, so his teammates don’t think he’s letting them down.
LOL!

mine too
I voted for “Yay” solely because some of the draft analysis I saw said that Reese Havens (sounds like a peanut-butter-cup theme park) was a good pick. I haven’t got a clue how this stuff turns out until the players have a few years under their belts.
totally
i voted for “meh” because i had no idea what it meant.
a baseball draft just can’t grab my attention because the prospects normally don’t make an immediate impact on the team

My First Post!
I like the way this team is playing lately. I hope we’ve turned the corner. Hopefully Pedro stays healthy, we can put some wins together! As for tonight, Lets go Pelf!!
nice to see pelf get out of an inning again...
although i’d prefer if avoided the drama in the first place
The best part here is the dude to Kevin's right
Who’s sitting there like “should I be moving out of this shot? am I on TV in New York?”
wow.
Pelfrey continues to do just enough, aided by a few sharp plays from Reyes. How many runners can Kouzmanoff strand on base before he gets lucky once? By rights, the Padres ought to have four or five runs in this game.
i wish the offense would take advantage of this luck
but with banks only having thrown 63 pitchers so far, it seems like the offense will be moribund for another two innings or so. what’s with the mets and young pitchers they’ve never seen before…this goes back to 2006
funny you should post this now
just as the Mets broke through to a totally undeserved tie. I found Banks’s baffling them totally predictable up to now; he’ll probably still pitch a complete game and win 2-1.
sorry keith
this is nothing like pelf’s last start. pelf retired like the last 12 batters against the dodgers…
My impression of a Yankee fan
What is this “going to his left” thing that Reyes just did? I didn’t think shortstops were able to move in that direction.
So, nobody remembers that Bell was terrible for the Mets?
ERA over 5 the last two seasons. As I recall, we couldn’t wait to get rid of him.
Not me
I recognize his lackluster performance at the big league level, but I never stopped being a supporter. Even with the Mets his peripherals were terrific.
what do you mean we, white man?
You’re talking to the largest group of Heath’s supporters outside the Bell family here. People were talking about getting “FREE HEATH BELL” tee-shirts made, for crap’s sake.
true
but i’m just trying to come up with a reason why he sucked with the mets but then rocked out with the padres…
Well
Again, his peripherals (strikeout and walk rates, specifically) were very good with the Mets. He gave up a lot of hits, but sometimes that’s just bad luck. San Diego is a much better place to pitch than Shea, but I suspect he relaxed a bit and some of the balls starting bouncing his way.
I'll assume it would have been from SD girls.
Which would have been the best. deal. ever.
EAMUS METROPOLI!
We better win this game
there is nothing worst than staying up for a west coast game and have your team lose
They gave him #6?
Melvin Mora and Timo Perez are offended that their legacies have been tarnished thusly.
Timo Perez gets a legacy?
Some sort of prize for spinning entirely around when you swing at a pitch in the dirt?
From the "things I was not aware of" department:
Timo hit .389/.427/.533 in 29 games for the Tigers last year.
He was always a bit doughy
He lost some weight one spring by rollerblading to and from the Port St. Lucie complex. I think he’s added a bit back on, though.
I've never had a fish taco either
One of my former roommates went to UCSD and said they’re awesome though
Why did they use Gary Busey as the celebrity?
I thought ht was going to eat Giuseppe Franco the first time I saw that commercial.
EAMUS METROPOLI!
I think they used Busey because...
If he had eaten Giuseppe Franco it would’ve made for an unspeakably awesome commercial.
That's a LOT of hits to only score one run
If I were a Padres fan, I would be REALLY pissed off if they lost this game
for goodness' sake, somebody score a run
Between the ballpark and the Mets’ finding the only other team as offensively challenged as they are, this one could go 1-1 all night.
Knowing these teams...
One of them will discover a way to lose a run that has already been scored and lose the game 1-0.
I know it's late for most of you.
But it’s only 10 PM here.
So I wouldn’t mind extras :)
EAMUS METROPOLI!
GODDAMMIT SHOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
You know what I really like? Extra inning West coast night games.
ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?!
I should have done us all a favor and broke his arm when I was at the Giants game.
EAMUS METROPOLI!
Amazing
The butcher and the baker and the people on the street, where did they go? To meet the Mets!
