Tiger is 2-up on the 4th hole.
He eagled the third.
How incredible is that guy??

Valerio de los Santos is pitching for the Mets. I believe his name is Spanish for "Valerio of the Santos."
No, it means something else. I'm not sure what it means though... to tell you the truth, nobody does. Scholars maintain that the true meaning was lost in translation.

How did I forget to turn the game on?!?!
Quick recap anyone? I don't feel like reading 15 pages or whatever it is..
Brad Hennessy out with an injury.....After giving up 2 runs, Dave Pauley gave gave up runs in the 4th.
But the O's did get 2 runs . Had some bad base running.
Mets 7 O's 2.

Ah, my mistake.
I thought he won the first and third and they halved the second.

Leadoff double for Cora in the 5th. Ross Wolf still pitching.

So I'm guessing Wolf is just filling a spot until Bass comes in?

Matt DeSalvo now pitching for the Mets. I believe that's Spanish for "Matt of the Salvo"...okay, I'll stop.
Ryan Freel leads off with a bouncer over first base that he speeds into a double.

Are you guys able to listen to the mlb.com radio feed? I'm not sure if it's their systems not being up to date or the fact that it's spring, but I'm able to listen to the feed using my mlb.tv user/pass from last year.

Adam Jones whiffs on a slider.
BTW, the Mets' catcher is former Oriole Omir Santos. I'll never forget his glorious 10 at-bats with the Birds last year.

You may have it signed up for automatic renewal only it doesn't actually charge you until April. I had the same thing occur last year.

Wiggy fouls out to first, and the leadoff double goes to waste.
After 5 innings, the O's trail the Mets, 7-3.

Think Wolf goes another inning?
Or is it time for Bass?
And yes, I know you aren't there and can't see who is up in the bullpen.

The first batter pops out to SS.

I missed some of the action in the middle. Have the pitchers through 5 innings been Hennessey, Waters, Wolf, and Pauley? I hear that Bass is pitching.
New infield it sounds like. Actually new outfield as well. Moore, Blake Davis, Turner, Brazell from third to first.
Reimold, Sister Christian, and Jolbert Cabrera from left to right.

Somebody named Andy Green strikes out. Bass is making quick work of the Mets so far.

Our old friend Omir Santos bounces into a force to third, and the inning is over.

Well, yeah, they are bad.
But it's not like we had bums out there shutting them down.
Matusz, Patton, Tillman, Arrieta, Bergesen, Hernandez, WPerez, and Hoey pitched yesterday.
Not really a scrub among that group.

Nick Evans with a one-out single in the 7th off Bass.

A very wild pitch moves Evans to second, but Valentin grounds out to the first baseman Brazell (whom Manfra calls "Brazil").

Apparently nothing happened in the bottom of the 8th (they were playing a Kranitz interview on the radio), so it's on to the 9th. Still 9-3 Mets.

I'd say some of the highlights of the game for me would be Ryan Keefer and Jim Miller having good outings for each of their innings, and then Ryan Freel going 2 for 3 with a double and a run and Ty Wigginton going 1 for 3 with an rbi.
