Looked safe in there.

GAT_00		2010-04-17 10:39:40 PM

Oh man, the Mets are going to blow this, aren't they?

Just make it a mercy kill and just put one dead center to Pujols.

Or maybe not. The Cardinals don't seem to want to win either.

GOT 'EM!!!!!!

robsul82		2010-04-17 10:39:43 PM

Nope, no they don't have a baserunner.

cameroncrazy1984		2010-04-17 10:40:00 PM

That wasn't even a good throw. Second terrible baserunning decision by Ludwick.

cendojr		2010-04-17 10:40:03 PM

I just turned on the game. After watching Lawrence of Arabia
The whole damn thing.
... and there's the best chance for a win gone, now we'll just tie.

CamelToe		2010-04-17 10:40:14 PM

Out at second. Solo homer time...

Joe_diGriz		2010-04-17 10:40:20 PM

GAT_00: Man, it would really suck if you were trying to score this by hand.

Someone, 50 years from now, is going to look at a scoresheet for this game, and assume that the writer was either drunk or was watching 3 games at once.

NakedReporta		2010-04-17 10:40:21 PM

Shut up McCarver.

The worst Mets loss in recent memory was Castillo dropping the final out vs the Yanks. This wouldn't come close to that.

That was a bad call there on the steal.

robsul82		2010-04-17 10:40:21 PM

He was safe. That fatty at second wants to go home.

/and eat, probably

twobux		2010-04-17 10:40:32 PM

May the Baysox never have a game like this.

/scoreboard guy for Bowie

And you know there is some poor guy in the bleachers doing just that

Eagle2001: Why are you running there?!?

WHO DARES QUESTION THE MIGHTY LARUSSA?

Staffist		2010-04-17 10:41:33 PM

Excellent call.

twobux		2010-04-17 10:41:49 PM

Thanks for the CS

paj		2010-04-17 10:41:50 PM

Almost outta there.
/double.

Norad		2010-04-17 10:41:56 PM

Stupid base-steal there. This game would be tied now, DAMMIT!

thegod082		2010-04-17 10:41:59 PM

Damn it would have been great if there had been a baserunner!

(And it looks like there's a fight in the BOS/MIA NBA game.)

robsul82		2010-04-17 10:42:13 PM

This game's tied if not for that fat fat fatty.

williamzabka		2010-04-17 10:42:16 PM

Jesus christ this game is priceless. I have a friend who has been waiting for me to get on xbox live for hours, but I can't leave this. Go Mets.

With a pile of score sheets. Even media sheets only go to 17 innings.

Lord Jubjub		2010-04-17 10:42:48 PM

The runner at second was out, , ,it appears the Mets got lucky.

I used to do that when I watched Clippers games with my grandpa when I was little. Saw a bunch of big name Yankees when they hadn't ever been to the majors before then, including Jeter and Posada. Strawberry was also doing a minor league tour at one point. I may have some signatures somewhere of them.

Also, can we make fun of Pujols for not getting that out of the park?

cendojr		2010-04-17 10:43:00 PM

And the starting pitcher cum left fielder at the plate. With an AWESOME swing.

Joe_diGriz		2010-04-17 10:43:14 PM

I'm wondering if the Buffalo Wild Wings guy is in charge here.

Thank God for Scorepad.com

He's out

twobux		2010-04-17 10:44:03 PM

One more...just one more...

paj		2010-04-17 10:44:18 PM

Moves the runner to third.
/pinch runner time?

Lost Thought 00		2010-04-17 10:44:21 PM

Obviously the right call here is to Bunt.

Lunchbox186		2010-04-17 10:44:28 PM

hope they tie it up! lets go for twenty!

People are gonna hit the Sports tab and be like, "WTF? That's not a very interesting headline for 180 comments..."

Staffist		2010-04-17 10:44:42 PM

Too bad they quit selling beer 11 innings ago.

twobux		2010-04-17 10:44:43 PM

Oh no...not Yadier. NOT Yadier.

/great pic, btw

robsul82		2010-04-17 10:44:45 PM

Pull K-Rod for David Wright. It's time.

cameroncrazy1984		2010-04-17 10:44:48 PM

hudgie: He's out

Nice screencap!

cendojr		2010-04-17 10:44:58 PM

I think Molina's got Texas Leaguer power right now. Which is probably the most dangerous thing right now.

PPL_Wannabe		2010-04-17 10:45:09 PM

hudgie, how did you get that screenshot so quickly? Just curious... and thanks for posting it. :)

williamzabka		2010-04-17 10:45:20 PM

hudgie: He's out

Good catch man.

CamelToe		2010-04-17 10:45:41 PM

Molina's been solid so far this short season.

Good screenshot. Well, at least we know who to blame for the loss now.

Haha yeah, everyone's stone cold sober by now. Has to suck, especially if they end up losing the game.
