So, did Dickey actually throw a no-hitter or is this another Santana situation?

Wright tried to bare hand a grounder by Upton in the first inning, was ruled a hit. Only runner to reach base in game. Mets are appealing the hit, saying it should be an error.

Look what Wright said about play:
"I tried to make the play. I didn't make it," Wright said. "It's as simple as that. I don't think I could have got him with the glove. I tried to barehand it. It hit the lip and skipped on me. I didn't make the play. If they want to go back and give me an error, they can do that. I guess there's a handful of guys on that team you would have to barehand it and rush it. I wish it would have been somebody a little bit slower, where I could have taken my time and gloved it."

Wright dryly added: "It's the first inning. Had I known that it was going to be a one-hitter, I would have tried a little harder or something." if we only knew David.

Saw this on Adam Rubin's (works for ESPPNNY) Twitter:
Joe Torre will manage Team USA for 2013 World Baseball Classic.

CINCINNATI -- An inside pitch to Indians starter Derek Lowe -- and comments he made afterward -- have Reds manager Dusty Baker riled up. Cincinnati starter Mat Latos threw an inside fastball to Lowe during the Reds' 5-3 win on Wednesday night. Lowe then hit Brandon Phillips, and both benches were warned. After the game, Lowe suggested the inside pitch was a payback for an unspecified issue between him and Baker from a few years ago, and said he didn't respect the manager. Before the game on Thursday, Baker responded by saying the inside pitch was retaliation for Lowe hitting Joey Votto in 2009 while he was with the Braves. And Baker said Lowe may not remember what happened years ago because "there was probably a good chance he was drinking at the ballpark" then.

:lol

VOTTOOOO FUCKING NUTS. Lead pipe cinch for MVP

I always vote based on WAR. So I statistically agree.

Did you see his crazy at-bats yesterday when he refused to move? I've never seen a batter more locked-in.

VOTTOOOO FUCKING NUTS. Lead pipe cinch for MVP

Sure, maybe if Carlos Beltran wasn't around.

[The Frankman]

CAPTAIN KIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKK



1-0 Mets on the leadoff bomb!

[Dmncnby2k9]

CAPTAIN KIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKK 1-0 Mets on the leadoff bomb!

Gary made a point that Kirk came out ten mins before start time to warm up on the on-deck circle, something Reyes use to do on the road. Right after he said it worked well for Reyes, BAM! HR!

[Windu]

:lol

awesome lol

i looked it up and it was in this game: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/y2010...lb_1&mode=wrap No video of it on mlb.com's highlight page though http://mlb.mlb.com/search/media.jsp?game_pk=244441

but it was in the first at bat and the previous game this happened: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?co...80353&c_id=mlb

Escobar was hit again in the lowe game too but it wasn't till the 4th inning. There was also an ejection apparently too in the 3rd. Jerry Hairston and Baker.

here is the recap for the game

[The Frankman]

Holy crap Keith Hernandez defending the plight of the rays that are in the tank in Tropicana Field, saying they should be free. Is this not a great man and a great humanitarian?

[Dmncnby2k9]

JASON BAY!!

[sangreal]

Only runner to reach base in game.

No, David Wright also had an error later in the game (the run that scored)

[The Frankman]

HOLY CRAP JASON BAY HITS A MOONSHOT! 2-0 Mets!

End yourself Hellickson.

[Dmncnby2k9]

No, David Wright also had an error later in the game (the run that scored)

Oh yea ur right. didnt watch last inning. unearned run that stopped R.A's scoreless streak.

[The Frankman]

bad error for Kirk there. Got to field that, you're ruining the flow.

[TheNatural]

Sure, maybe if Carlos Beltran wasn't around.

lol sure thing

[Dmncnby2k9]

Damnit. right down the middle n Duda misplayed the bounce off the wall.

[Link]

You can just tell Johan is going to get hammered this game.

[The Frankman]

Damnit. right down the middle n Duda misplayed the bounce off the wall.

Lot of misplaying going on this inning.

EDIT: lol Santana is starting to get a bit peeved about Laz Diaz's zone.

[The Frankman]

That RBI by Elliot Johnson hurts. 2 out first-ball fastball, I'm surprised Johan hasn't thrown alot of sliders and changeups with this young team. 3-2 Rays now.

Kirk better redeem himself with a basehit here.

[Vargas]

The end times are upon us. Jason Bay hit a home run!

[Vargas]

Wright Powah!

[Dmncnby2k9]

Nicely done David! Cmon Duda, atleast tie this damn game.

[The Frankman]

ahahahhah Keith killing Maddon for shifting David Wright as a pull hitting. "Too much brainiacs around here".

[Vargas]

Tie game. I thought that was going to hit out.

[Dmncnby2k9]

Damn Jennings and Upton in OF is tough.

[jakncoke]

Good its going to be 86 and sunny for the ball game on Saturday. Also where is OT2?

[LJ11]

ahahahhah Keith killing Maddon for shifting David Wright as a pull hitting. "Too much brainiacs around here".

Keith's been on a roll this series.

[The Frankman]

Laz Diaz starting to have more of a negative impact on the game now. I expect JoshThole to lose the right to throw the ball to the pitcher soon.

[Vargas]

Ike good? He good.

[Dmncnby2k9]

Lets go Ike!! looking better at the plate, get that confidence going.

[The Frankman]

I can't believe after 12714896174619 different stances Ike Davis returned to his original stance coming up with the Mets and is hitting the ball with authority again.

And the biggest thing is he's getting walks and having long ABs again. Remember when Ike was a pretty tough K his rookie year?

Of course. Remember that year being David's highest K for a season.

[The Frankman]

Of course. Remember that year being David's highest K for a season.

David was still feeling the ill effects of Cain's headhunting!

EDIT: Oh come on Ike, you start hitting but now the D suffers?

EDIT 2: Of course. Of fucking course.

[Link]

Mets A+ defense coming through again.

[Vargas]

Boo.

[XiaNaphryz]

After the game Cain had last night, he needs to add what he did before the game to his regular pre-game warmup routine:

[vas_a_morir]

Goddamn, Jay Bruce looks at so many first pitch strikes.



Best day ever.

[Tedesco!]

LOL Tribe....

[Dmncnby2k9]

Omar Q dives all over the place.

[The Frankman]

Omar why you diving into 1st with a fractured finger? Jeez.

RUN THROUGH THE BAG!

[Vargas]

Captain Kirk!

[Dmncnby2k9]

Opposite field POWAH!! Captain Kirk with great contact there.

[The Frankman]

Captain Kirk!

Opposite field POWAH!! Captain Kirk with great contact there.

[The Frankman]

I really want to know what fielding data Joe Maddon is looking at that says David Wright is a dead pull hitter. This is HILARIOUS.

[Vargas]

Duda did not care for the way that ball looked at him.

[Prade]

I hope Santana doesn't lay an egg next inning now.

[Dmncnby2k9]

My god! best pitching staff my foot!! against their two best pitchers too.
