New software for tonight’s chat. A little different than we are used to but it should work just fine.

Sucks that we get stuck with ESPN again. I’d much rather watch Cohen/Darling/Hernandez over Schulman/Hershiser/Francona

Anyone gonna watch the rematch of the 2010 world series on July 11th

Yeah, not a Francona in the booth fan

Let’s beat Kershaw

That stinks – thought he had the bag stolen on the previous pitch.

Welcome Chris

July 1, 2012 – 8:11 pm
Torres is not looking hot on the paths.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:11 pm
thanks. And thanks for getting this sorted out.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:12 pm
Bummed about DWs vote
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:12 pm
I’ll trade that for a Dickey start
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:13 pm
Sure. I hope LaRussa puts him in in the 2nd!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:14 pm
Glad to see Beltran make it, too
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:15 pm
He’s scared of Hairston!
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:15 pm
He should be
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:16 pm
that pitch was outside
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:16 pm
Mnice
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:16 pm
This base running…..
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:16 pm
Two baserunning outs this inning
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:18 pm
Its a growing concern
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:21 pm
Chris, how do you feel about Gee?
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:21 pm
Mixed. But Im happy to let the experiment continue.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:22 pm
You?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:22 pm
I liked those last two pitches
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:22 pm
agreed
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:22 pm
I thought he was the weak link coming into the season. I’m cautiously optimistic right now he can hold his own.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:23 pm
I feel the same
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:24 pm
This is the problem though
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:24 pm
His stuff is not overpowering but if he mixes them up he’s got a shot. I think his changeup is a pretty good pitch but sometimes he doesn’t throw it enough.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:25 pm
I feel like he gets rattled too.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:26 pm
Abreu missed that pitch by six inches
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:29 pm
Hershisher with some good comments here. I liked the moving late and questioning pitch selection.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:30 pm
Yeah, he really has a good perspective. I feel like therese guys want the the LAD to win
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:30 pm
makes me appreciate Gary Ronnie and Mex. Sooo good with the call.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:31 pm
For the rest of this game let’s pitch around Rivera. He’s the only one in the lineup who can hit.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:31 pm
Two nights without GKR – I’m going through withdrawal.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:32 pm
Im buying that. Was I crazy or is Kemp in game whites?
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:32 pm
And not even the archive, which I listen too at night!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:32 pm
I know they showed him in the dugout. He’s on the DL so I’m not worried
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:33 pm
Do you think Gary and Ron are sitting in the visitor’s booth watching the game?
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:33 pm
True.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:35 pm
So if we win tonight we move in front for the first Wild Card.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:35 pm
I wonder. They don’t seem to have the call at all…I bet they’re in NY watching like us. Howie and Josh will have a long flight tho!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:35 pm
Yeah, I guess with having two straight off there was no reason to stick around in LA
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:36 pm
That inning was too easy.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:37 pm
And Kershaw does not have magic stuff. Im not big fan of day games Ive decided
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:41 pm
So I keep hearing about Huston street…seems like a poor fit based on the personalities
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:42 pm
Plus the fact that he gets hurt every year…
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:42 pm
Gwynn kickin it old school with the baggies and socks!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:44 pm
My wife was complaining about that look. I like the socks but the baggy pants have to go.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:47 pm
Way to work the pitch count on Kershaw, Gee.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:47 pm
I say replace Kemp with Kirk!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:47 pm
Let’s not get carried away…
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:47 pm
!!!!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:48 pm
We should rally around Johan, instead.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:49 pm
Ruben!
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:51 pm
I missed it all…
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:51 pm
Ruben hit?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:51 pm
Gordon has not been overly impressive in this series.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:51 pm
No
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:52 pm
Ruben lined a single. DW hit what looked like a DP but Gordon threw away the relay throw.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:52 pm
Ill takem anyway they come
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:53 pm
Ok. Good for DW
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:53 pm
Wow – how about those running Mets
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:54 pm
Yep.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:54 pm
Plume could use a hr right now
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 8:54 pm
Luke that is
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:55 pm
Tough LH though
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:56 pm
Nice AB. Kershaw’s pitch count is really rising this inning.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:57 pm
Im not sure about going after Duda in…he can hit those from lefties…all sliders and curves to outside and he swings at them all
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:57 pm
yeah, 60 right now!
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:58 pm
JT can hack with the best of them too.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 8:58 pm
He’s a Fullerton grad like me!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 8:59 pm
Who’s the best baseball player to come from Fullerton?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:00 pm
BRB
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:01 pm
How many times does a guy make two errors and bat second in the next inning?
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 9:01 pm
Jeremy Giambi maybe
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 9:02 pm
Good one. Baseball finds those things somehow!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:02 pm
I can’t feel too bad about him getting a hit there.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 9:03 pm
Tim Wallach?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:03 pm
He’s got a real big lead. Going on this pitch?
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 9:04 pm
Y
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:05 pm
Saved him another ball.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 9:05 pm
Gee is settling in
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:06 pm
I’m beginning to think he’s not running.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:07 pm
Tejada-Cedeno is a pretty nice middle info combo.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:08 pm
I agree. I actually think RT raises the level of whoever is at 2B. If he can fill the range to 3B, he could be a very fine ss.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:08 pm
Murph looked shapr yesterday too
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:10 pm
Murphy is coming around. I was getting worried.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 9:11 pm
I voted my 25x
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:12 pm
I didn’t.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 9:12 pm
Its such an odd thing. Is the ASG real or fun?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:13 pm
This time it counts!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:14 pm
Yeah, have to say I’m surprised Cueto didn’t make the AS team, too.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:14 pm
Tough game so far for Torres. A CS and two Ks
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:18 pm
Are you glad the Marlins swept the Phillies?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:20 pm
Nice DP to end the inning.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:21 pm
As long as the Phillies and Marlins contine to beat each other up roughly equally Im fine. I confess, all the hype for the Marlins in the off season really put me off. No fan of the Phillies, but a few colleagues at work are…so we have a truce!
360isgreat_545
360isgreat_545
July 1, 2012 – 9:21 pm
I got it. Broom in the other hand
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:22 pm
We’re going to have to make a broom graphic to display on the site for all of the sweeps.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:22 pm
nice!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:22 pm
Phillies, Orioles, Rays and hopefully Dodgers.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:23 pm
Sounds good to me!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:23 pm
Ruben!
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:23 pm
Ruby Tuesday on it one more time!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:26 pm
That was close at second.
360isgreat_545
360isgreat_545
July 1, 2012 – 9:26 pm
Wanna see that play at 2nd again
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:27 pm
I don’t think Wright should be guessing first move here. That must’ve been that clown Francona suggesting that.
Bobby Townsend
Bobby Townsend
July 1, 2012 – 9:28 pm
Tune hit out!!!!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:28 pm
Just like the 2011 Sox!
Bobby Townsend
Bobby Townsend
July 1, 2012 – 9:28 pm
YES!!!!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:28 pm
Didn’t realize that Jerry was so much older than Scott.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:29 pm
Hairston had a pitch to hit there…
Bobby Townsend
Bobby Townsend
July 1, 2012 – 9:29 pm
MAN!!! He hung it and Hairston missed it
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:31 pm
He chewed Duda up there.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:32 pm
Still, he’ll be out of the game after one more inning. His pitch count is getting up there.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:33 pm
Where is his count at? missed it
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:33 pm
You guys Mets fans all your life?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:34 pm
Stanton in the HR derby could be epic.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:35 pm
dubious. he had 2 strikes in there
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:35 pm
Wonder if Stanton can get Jamie Moyer to pitch to him in the HR derby
Bobby Townsend
Bobby Townsend
July 1, 2012 – 9:35 pm
I was following the Mets in the 60s when Stengel was the manager and the Mets were regularly losing over 100 games a year

Bobby Townsend

July 1, 2012 – 9:37 pm
Cedeno dropped the ball and he wasn’t making the transfer
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:38 pm
OK, Gee show us something and get out of this jam.
Bobby Townsend
Bobby Townsend
July 1, 2012 – 9:40 pm
Gee gotta get that ball up in a bunt situation (0-2 pitch)
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:41 pm
BT – when’s the last time you saw a drag bunt in the majors?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:42 pm
Was Turner thinking about going home?
Bobby Townsend
Bobby Townsend
July 1, 2012 – 9:44 pm
Good call by the scorer there
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:45 pm
Defense let Gee down.
Bobby Townsend
Bobby Townsend
July 1, 2012 – 9:45 pm
The Mets handed it back to them. Keep an eye on Gordon here
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:46 pm
And take the bat out of Abreu’s hands
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:46 pm
grin
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:47 pm
What a horrible throw.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:47 pm
ugly. and gordons sins are erased
Bobby Townsend
Bobby Townsend
July 1, 2012 – 9:48 pm
Throw was bad but I don’t know if they would have had him anyway
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:48 pm
No. Nickeas was trying to miss the batter
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:49 pm
Gee made it academic. Now to get Kershaw out of the game.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:50 pm
Time for Turner to redeem himself.
Chris
Chris
July 1, 2012 – 9:51 pm
Mets and espn…
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:54 pm
Whose worse – Olney or Ken Rosenthal?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:54 pm
Who is
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:54 pm
tough call on that. no fan of BO
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 9:55 pm
hard to believe torres is leading off IMO
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:56 pm
At least Rosenthal is a good columnist
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 9:57 pm
I know you guys are Met fans, but can someone explain how Dee Gordon (.226 BA/.276 OBP) is still leading off?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:58 pm
Who else on the Dodgers can do it?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:58 pm
Or more likely Mattingly thinks fast middle infielder should lead off.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:59 pm
James Loney can’t hit for power – maybe they should tell him to work on his batting eye and have him bat first.
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 9:59 pm
They haven’t led in a week!!! Put him in the 8 hole.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 9:59 pm
Been a tough 10 days for the Dodgers, huh?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:00 pm
Mets and Dodgers have same record but Mets fans are a lot happier
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 10:00 pm
Injuries, but they’ve had many “June Swoons”
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:01 pm
At least they were before that pitch…
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 10:01 pm
David Wright got hosed on All Stars….
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:01 pm
Yes he did but at least he’ll be at the game. How about Johnny Cueto?
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 10:01 pm
Cueto absence is bad for sure
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 10:02 pm
Gee is done.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:02 pm
Get Batista up in the pen.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:03 pm
Old pal Jason Isringhausen got the win today. He’s now 3-0.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 10:03 pm
Angels?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:03 pm
yep
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 10:06 pm
Dodgers lead!!!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:06 pm
We let a Dodger fan into the chat and they take the lead.
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 10:06 pm
Ha!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:06 pm
Now they play the infield in?
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:07 pm
Nice play there by Nickeas
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 10:07 pm
and Tejada
Chris F
Chris F
July 1, 2012 – 10:07 pm
mostly Nickeas on that replay
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:08 pm
If they played the infield in on Loney the Dodgers wouldn’t have scored.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:12 pm
Little surprised they brought Kershaw back. He’s going to end up about 115-120 pitches.
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 10:12 pm
Remember those Gooden-Fernando battles? Good times.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:13 pm
Fernando still doing the Spanish broadcasts for the Dodgers?
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 10:14 pm
I think so. Dude could hit, too.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:14 pm
And there he is!
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 10:15 pm
Wow, that’s amazing!
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:16 pm
Can’t believe they didn’t show Mike Marshall for Dodger Cy Young winners.
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 10:17 pm
MM was a workhorse. Much better than the hitter with same name who played later.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:18 pm
And both of those guys ended up playing for the Mets later in their career.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:18 pm
And just like in LA, the pitcher was the better one.
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 10:18 pm
MM used to get the 3-inning saves.
360isgreat_335
360isgreat_335
July 1, 2012 – 10:19 pm
The latter MM dated Belinda Carlisle of the Go Gos.
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:19 pm
It was a different world before LaRussa came around
Mets360
Mets360
July 1, 2012 – 10:19 pm
There’s a great pitcher of Belinda wearing Marshall’s jersey floating around the ‘tubes.
