1. Conor Posted: July 30, 2008 at 11:03 AM (#2881994)

Guys-
Does anyone here watch the Mets games on MLB.com and live in the Mets market? I would like to have the option of watching the game either on tv or on my computer but I live in Queens. I know there are ways of "ghosting" your IP address so MLB.com doesn't know where you are coming from but I am not the most computer literate sort in the world so I am having a little trouble with it. ( I remember I tried to do this during my senior year at Syracuse, which is for some reason in the Mets market but I was unsuccessful) I figured this would be a good place to ask. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Conor, you need to find a proxy server. This is a step-by-step process.

Btw, Rotoworld saying the Mets are not interested in Ibanez anymore.

Hey, another Syracuse guy.

7. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 06:46 PM (#2882800)

I have no money to offer, only my my undying gratitude to whoever gets Marlon Anderson off of this roster.

8. Conor Posted: July 30, 2008 at 06:55 PM (#2882809)

Hey, another Syracuse guy.

Yes sir. You still there? I graduated in 06, which if you do the math means I was a freshmen in April of 2003, which was pretty awesome.

9. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 06:57 PM (#2882812)

I'll be a senior this year.

10. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 06:59 PM (#2882817)

THANK THE EXTRA INNING GODS! Game has both home and away announcer options tonight. Hallelujah!

11. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 06:59 PM (#2882820)

Looks like the Marlins might be getting Manny.

12. Conor Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:02 PM (#2882821)

13. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:06 PM (#2882826)

So you were a freshmen in 06? At least you saw the second Big East title. The last few years have been a little rough. But I have relatively high hopes for this year. (It's scary that we haven't won an NCAA tournament game since I was a Soph.

Yeah, it's been an interesting few years. I covered the basketball team the last two years for The D.O., which was a blast. Didn't think I'd be covering two NITs, though. Covered football last year and that was just a comedy of errors. Got to go to Iowa, though.

14. AJM Misses Brodeur Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:09 PM (#2882829)

I have no money to offer, only my my undying gratitude to whoever gets Marlon Anderson off of this roster.

Can we trade him to Detroit for Ordonez?

15. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:12 PM (#2882836)

Our Heinous Reyes!

16. Joshemy Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:12 PM (#2882837)

Dos Reyes!

17. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:13 PM (#2882839)

Hit and run done to perfection.

18. Joshemy Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:14 PM (#2882844)

That was the worst possible productive out possible David.

19. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:22 PM (#2882852)

Wright having an awesome start to this game. Awful throw that Delgado picks and chasing a pitch out of the zone for a DP.

20. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:22 PM (#2882855)

It is such a relief to be able to listen to Gary and Keith.

PELF!

21. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:23 PM (#2882856)

Brandon Webb * Roy Halladay = Mike Pelfrey :)

22. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:23 PM (#2882857)

Pelfrey ate Cantu alive.

23. AJM Misses Brodeur Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:23 PM (#2882859)

Nice, quick inning.

24. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:24 PM (#2882861)

Halladay has a filthy curve and cutter. Not sure how anybody hits him. Just lucky, I guess.

25. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:25 PM (#2882864)

Alex Gordon was 0-for-0 with five walks today.

26. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:26 PM (#2882867)

Gordon's been a major disappointment. He can't hit lefties for beans.

27. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:26 PM (#2882868)

Brandon Webb * Roy Halladay = Mike Pelfrey :)

Last year it was Webb's ERA * Halladay's ERA = Pelfrey's ERA.

28. Conor Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:26 PM (#2882869)

That sinker he is throwing in to righties is almost unhittable.

29. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:28 PM (#2882873)

There is no justification for Marlon starting this game.

And the bastard gets a hit.

30. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:29 PM (#2882875)

Here comes the DP from Schneider.

31. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:30 PM (#2882877)

That it was predictable only lessens the anger slightly.

32. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:30 PM (#2882879)

Schneider really needs to not play.

33. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:31 PM (#2882880)

I blame Marlon Anderson for the DP.

34. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:33 PM (#2882887)

Nice, Nats score three in the first...3-2.

35. Lassus Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:37 PM (#2882900)

Our Heinous Reyes!

Hey, I coined that!

36. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:38 PM (#2882902)

DID HE GET HIM?

37. Lassus Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:38 PM (#2882904)

Hmmmm...

I'm on the radio.

Bad call?

38. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:38 PM (#2882906)

Howie Rose Sterlinged that call, but I'm glad he was wrong. Certainly looked safe to the naked eye.

39. Joshemy Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:39 PM (#2882908)

That was an awful slide and he is out!

40. Lassus Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:39 PM (#2882909)

Howie Rose says the replay shows that he's out.

41. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:39 PM (#2882910)

Great call! What an awful slide.

42. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:39 PM (#2882911)

Uggla looked safe.

43. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:39 PM (#2882912)

And looking at the replay, he was very much out. That was an absolutely awful slide by Uggla. Thank him for the Marlins' failure to score a run.

44. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:39 PM (#2882913)

Great call. Clearly out.

*I don't have a monitor!*

45. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:39 PM (#2882914)

That's a horrible slide. He should have been safe.

46. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:40 PM (#2882918)

Russlan, he was clearly out. He slid around the plate and then slapped his hand onto Schneider's glove instead the plate. He was being way too clever there.

47. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:42 PM (#2882921)

I agree Alan. I just worded 45 poorly. He would have been safe if he hadn't made such a poor slide.

48. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:43 PM (#2882923)

Yeah, I jumped the gun. I was responding to #42, but you corrected yourself before I did, making me look stupid :)

49. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:44 PM (#2882925)

Nothing to do with anything, but looking at Pelfrey's game logs, he has a funny looking progression, just looking at wins and losses.

50. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:46 PM (#2882927)

BTW, when is Castillo coming back?

51. Lassus Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:47 PM (#2882933)

BTW, when is Castillo coming back?

Seems like never. I don't miss him that much, he's never really seemed a presence.

52. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:48 PM (#2882936)

Johnson is living right.

53. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:51 PM (#2882943)

Seems like never. I don't miss him that much, he's never really seemed a presence.

I don't trust Lil' Reyes and Easley is too old to play everyday.

54. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:52 PM (#2882948)

Niese is making his AAA debut.

55. Lassus Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:52 PM (#2882949)

I don't trust Lil' Reyes

What, did you lend him fifty bucks he hasn't returned? ;-)

56. Conor Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:54 PM (#2882952)

Russlan-
Thanks for the link. Hopefully I can figure it out.

57. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:55 PM (#2882956)

STOP TRYING TO PULL EVERYTHING!

58. Lassus Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:57 PM (#2882958)

Good lord, that was a fast inning.

59. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:58 PM (#2882960)

This game is moving right along.

60. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 07:59 PM (#2882961)

Truth be told, I love games like this.

61. Lassus Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:05 PM (#2882974)

jesus christ what the hell is it with these doinking hits?

62. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:05 PM (#2882975)

Eh, whatever. Nice pitching Pelfrey. Its just not going to be your night.

63. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:06 PM (#2882980)

The last two hits for the Marlins haven't been particularly well struck but they are primed to take the lead.

64. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:09 PM (#2882984)

Big time K for Pelf there.

65. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:09 PM (#2882985)

Gasoline to get Uggla.

66. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:12 PM (#2882996)

Man, this inning is going by very slowly.

67. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:13 PM (#2882998)

Would you say it is Trachselesque?

68. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:16 PM (#2883012)

It just wasn't to be. Oh well.

69. AJM Misses Brodeur Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:18 PM (#2883017)

This isn't going well.

70. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:18 PM (#2883018)

The Mets were never going to win this game. That's fine. I still love how Pelfrey is pitching.

71. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:18 PM (#2883019)

The Marlins aren't going anywhere.

72. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:19 PM (#2883023)

The Mets were never going to win this game. That's fine. I still love how Pelfrey is pitching.

Why would you say that?

73. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:21 PM (#2883031)

He's finished.

74. AJM Misses Brodeur Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:21 PM (#2883033)

It's raining, maybe they'll call it.

75. Mets Fan Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:21 PM (#2883035)

Wait a minute -

this play-by-play man's catch phrase is "that's what I'm talking 'bout!"?????

76. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:22 PM (#2883038)

Pelfrey's fatigued. Ramirez should be his last batter.

77. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:25 PM (#2883054)

I'll be shocked if the Mets show any fight. Hey, they are entitled. I can't remember the last time they lost a series.

78. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:31 PM (#2883067)

I am worried about the Marlins. Johnson has been excellent since coming back. Their rotation is much better now than it was earlier.

79. Anthropophagus Mets Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:33 PM (#2883073)

The Marlins have a negative run differential. I can't take this team seriously.

The Mets didn't hit and they were due to lose a series.

80. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:34 PM (#2883083)

Oh great. Muniz.

81. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:35 PM (#2883087)

The Marlins have a negative run differential.

I doubt they will the rest of the year.

82. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:44 PM (#2883109)

If the Mets don't get a couple here, this one's over.

83. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:48 PM (#2883122)

Looks like the Phils will be in first tonight.

84. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:49 PM (#2883126)

This one ain't over yet.

85. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:51 PM (#2883131)

Need a hit from Delgado here.

86. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 08:51 PM (#2883132)

OK, maybe it is now.

87. Joshemy Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:06 PM (#2883166)

A little bit of the old Marlon Magic setting up the Schneider DP.

88. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:06 PM (#2883167)

PH for Schneider.

89. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:09 PM (#2883181)

Schneider, you sonofabitch.

90. Joshemy Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:10 PM (#2883184)

I would have used Castro here with no double play threat.

91. Karl from NY Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:11 PM (#2883190)

THIS ONE ISN'T OVER!

92. Hey, it's what Johan uses (Matt) Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:11 PM (#2883191)

COHEN CALLED THAT ONE!

93. Mets Fan Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:11 PM (#2883194)

DAMIAN!

94. Joshemy Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:12 PM (#2883196)

DAMION EASLEY!!!!

I lose.

95. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:12 PM (#2883197)

CRUSHED! Easley is the man.

96. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:12 PM (#2883199)

Easley!!!!!!!!!

97. Mets Fan Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:12 PM (#2883200)

I would have used Castro here with no double play threat.

PWN3D!

98. Bob Koo Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:14 PM (#2883214)

Give credit to Schneider for K'ing instead of GIDP'ing. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

99. Alan S Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:16 PM (#2883219)

Ugly AB for Reyes, but this game is interesting again. Keep it winnable, bullpen.

100. Russlan is an overhyped Met BTFer Posted: July 30, 2008 at 09:17 PM (#2883222)

Blah. Now, Lil Reyes is going to lead off the 8th.
