Live from Shea Stadium

4:52 -- Sad. Just sad.

4:44 -- It's almost comical at this point. 7-5 Pirates.

4:34 -- Tie game. Not surprised.

4:19 -- It's about to get interesting. Aaron Heilman in to close it out with a one run lead.

4:02 -- Well done, Duaner Sanchez. Good inning and a third.

3:53 -- A leadoff double goes to waste when a run or two would have greatly helped the Mets predicament.

3:41 -- I trust no one in the bullpen.

3:36 -- Why in the world is Nate McClouth sacraficing himself?? He's your best hitter and he gives himself up?

3:33 -- Well done, Joe Smith. Two batters, two hits, one run. Awesome.

3:28 -- And here comes the bullpen. Time for the game to get a lot more interesting.

3:05 -- Is Pedro getting squeezed? Seems like it from where we're sitting.

2:54 -- Beltran is a groundout machine.

2:34 -- That had to have been the worst "play at the plate" ever.

2:20 -- And there goes the perfect game and the no hitter.

2:06 -- Pedro Martinez has only topped 83 mph twice so far, once reaching as high as 88 mph. Two balls were hit very hard this inning, but Carlos Beltran tracked them down, as usual.

1:57 -- "The best thing that could happen to Zach Duke right now: get struck by lightning." -Jamie Palatini

1:50 -- I'm just glad I'm not a Pirates fan.

1:26 -- As if a delayed game couldn't get worse, there are hundreds, if not thousands of campers on the warning track. Awesome.

1:08 -- The tarp is off the field and it is very sunny out in Flushing. Figures I forget my sunglasses in the car. Did not anticipate this weather.
