Let me preface this; I lost power due to a thunderstorm after the fourth inning and didn’t get it back until the middle of the seventh inning, so I missed a chunk of this game. If I missed something noteworthy, I apologize.

Back to back to back doubles to start the game from Wright and Reyes, and Beltran. First off, I’ve been waiting to see that ever since Willie has been giving Wright the two hole slot. Great combination of speed and some power and it sets the table for Beltran. Secondly, the calling card of the ‘06 Mets was to score runs in the first and hold on to it. I would love to see that more.

From what I saw, Tommy looked solid, picking up his victory 294, despite giving up a solo shot to the Sultan of Surly.

Is it me or do the fans in San Francisco make noise just for the sake of making noise? It happens during random times in games. Are they just happy to be there? Weird, man. “You’re all Winners!”
I was talking with a friend who, like me, works during most games and ends up watching the games after they are concluded. MLB has set up a link for people like me and my friend that is a portal to MLB TV, but doesn’t give you the score. It merely shows you the days games with an “L” for live game that brings you to the game in progress, an “S” meaning coming soon while the game is being prepared and an “A” for archive. If you wait until the game is archived, it will not show you the linescore, unless you push “show linescore.” The only drawback is you have to push “Go to Today” each day.

For some damn reason, the Mets decided to shave their heads. No, that isn’t some obscure baseball analogy, they all decided the cult look was the way to go. Pelfrey and Green’s hair was kinda annoying anyway. Paul LoDuca was quoted as saying “Pelfrey looks like Sinead O’Connor.” Rey Sanchez, however, was unavailable for comment.

Is he from the future?

Johnny Maine throws tomorrow, hopefully staying hot after his magnificent start of ‘07 against Matt Morris. Better sign off before I lose power again, see you for tomorrow’s rubber match.

Let’s go Mets!
