First up, Jerry Hottie Hairston... aaaaand he bunts! Whoa! Nice defense by Big Daddy D'Amico... picks it up and gets it to Big Mo for the first out!

Big Daddy now pitching to ... who is that... I don't know this lineup anymore. I think that's Chris Singleton... hmmm... yup... Chris Singleton... Whoa... big swing.... and he's down.

Next up for the O'sDavid Segui - who normally plays 1st, but Co9's at 1st, so Segui must be DHing... fouls it straight up, there goes Hottie Mike Piazza... oooh... misses it. Dang. He's looking might hot this season...:hmm: - so what else is new... :biggrin:

David Segui swings at a breaking ball.. to Joe McEwing, to Big Mo... O's go down 1, 2, 3.

Ooh! This is fun! I've missed this!:biggrin:

Big Mike at the plate. Ooh. Swings at a breaking ball. I'm late here. Count is already 1-2... Okay! Big ol' homerun for Big Mike!!! Woohoooo!! (Oops. I'm doing this on the O's board... oops):hmm:

Wow. That was a beauty, though. Sat right on a fastball.

Jay Pay steps to the plate.

Score now 1-0, Mets.

OOH! Huge swing, broke his bat, fly ball to left field, caught by ... ummm. who's in left field for the O's.... geesh... what a pathetic moderator I am!

Let's see. Is Sean Douglass still pitching? No. I think that's John Bale. Yes. And he sets down Gary Matthews looking

1 out.

There's Mark Johnson

Wow. mark's trying to figure this guy out. He's being patient though. Count is now 3-2. And Bales....... strikes him out! A fastball!!!

2 out. Here's SuperJoe!

And he shoots a ground ball to Tony Battista at 3rd.

3rd out.

Base hit, Tony Batista

Ooh. they're talking to Jeff D'Amico. Wow. He's hot!:uhoh:

Okay. They're talking to Big Daddy in the dugout and something happened on the field. I think Tony Batista tried to steal and he was ... no. Someone smoked it to Joey and he got Tony B out at 2nd? I think?

[Nanner]

Top of the 9th.

Jay at the plate.

Short hop to the shortstop, whoever that is, and he tries to scoop it, but misses. Bordy woulda had that.:biggrin:

Base hit for Jay.

Um, then... who was up. Um. Okay. That went too fast and I was doing something else and I don't know who anyone is. But Jay's now out and some guy's on 2nd.:confused:

And now there are two out - uh, I forgot who was up.

Oh-oh. Tony Tarasco, who's avg. is .292 for Spring Training. He's quick, he's strong, and the count is now 1-2 on him. And I think that's Willis Roberts pitching. 2-2

...... aaaaaand he picks up a base hit. Right through the infield and through the left hole. Tying run at the plate. Two men on, 2 outs. That would be Vance Wilson at the plate. Vance Wilson who called me "Ma'am" last year, and kept smiling at Cyn.:uhoh:

Count is now 1-2 on Vance. Come on, Vance. Let's tie it... oops. Strikes out.

O's win! 6-3! I'm sorry they had to do it against my Mets, but they are now on an 8-game winning streak!!! Wooooohoooo!

And Bordy looked soooooo good.:lust: :luvkiss: :squareluv

Can't wait to see a game where I can actually see his defense!!!

Thank you and good evening friends.

Thanks for attending this Spring Training Play By Play.

Yes, Miss. I'll try to remember, Miss. I guess I was just overwhelmed by finally seeing Mr. Mike "Who's Got My Pants" Bordick playing ball again.

I'll try to keep my priorities straight, Miss.
