    intentionally walking Ike Davis to pitch to Tejada?

    Davis is hitting .159!


    1st and 2nd 2 out now for Tejada, they're actually suggesting they should intentionally walk Tejada to bring up Marcum :lol:

    Remarkably enough I saw all three games on TV. The 24 inning game was in 1968 (the year of the pitcher) and the Mets lost 1-0 against Houston when Al Weis let a grounder go through his legs. Tom Seaver went 10, giving up 1 hit in the first 9 innings (and one in the 10th). Tommie Agee and Ron Swoboda both went 0 for 10, and it killed Agee's season almost before it started.

    Speaking of futility, the Mets finally score in the 15th and of course immediately blow it in the bottom of the inning and lose. This is going to be a long year.

    yeah none were recent

    jeff, how much of those games did you watch? Those would've been over 6 hours apiece, I'd imagine.

    From Wikipedia:


    Bonus fun fact: Tom Seaver was the winning pitcher in the longest American League game ever, as the White Sox defeated the Brewers in 25 innings in 1984. He pitched the final inning of a resumed game (the game was 17 innings in when they stopped it). Seaver was the scheduled pitcher for the game that night and he went ahead and pitched it after having already been used in relief. He accomplished the rare feat of being the winning pitcher in two games on the same day.

    I was in college for the 1974 game, so I stayed up until 3 for that entire one. No big deal when you're 18 and on your own. The 1968 game was a little different - I watched to maybe the 10th or 11th, but then my parents sent me to bed. I listened to the rest of the game with my transistor radio under the covers. The 1964 game was a day (doubleheader) game. I know I watched at least some of it, but I don't know how much (I was only 8, so I'm sure nowhere near all of it).

    Speaking of transistor radio games, my most memorable transistor radio under the covers sports events were the Mets -Cardinals game in 1969 when Steve Carlton struck out 19 in St. Louis but Ron Swoboda hit two 2-run home runs to win it 4-3 (it was a night game and was delayed more than hour by rain, so it ended well after midnight on a school night), and the Ali-Frazier fight from the Garden in 1971 (which of course was not on TV).

    I wonder if the Mets are going to win another game this year? Yet another wasted excellent start.

    Mets usually make it to the AS break before they collapse. It's happening early this season.

    Tim McClelland is such an awful umpire. How does he still have a job? Remember when Jorge Posada and Robinson Cano both got tagged at third and he only called Posada out?

    Miami's minor league lineup is smacking around Dillon Gee.

    Polanco got the day off and of course Stanton is injured. Doesn't matter.

    At least they'll get blown out today instead of losing it in the 9th.

    2-3-4 hitters 8/12 with 3 RBI and 4 runs scored. Shocking. (Actually, Murphy, Wright, and Buck all had very good Aprils, so it's really not that shocking.)

    Buck starts May as hot as he was in April. Who predicted that he would be the centerpiece of the Dickey trade a month in?

    Is it sad that the Angels actually have a worse record than the Mets?
