Atlanta Braves Orel Hershiser has its 200th win and providing Valentine a thumbs up the Mets will try and continue their winning ways against Sammy Sosa and the Chicago Cubs from Shea [Music] New York Mets baseball live of a Delvian lemon [Music] it's merengue 90 Shea Stadium welcome everybody and lots of honors for sammy sosa from Shea Stadium in Flushing Queens WB 11 sports presents New York Mets baseball tonight the Mets take on the Chicago Cubs by starting pitchers for tonight's game Kevin Tapani on the mound for the Chicago Cubs and Masato Yoshii will be on the mound for the New York Mets there you see the standings in the Eastern Division of the National League all of a sudden the Atlanta Braves are vulnerable they are playing a doubleheader today the New York Mets start today just two games behind in Philadelphia just five and a half behind and that's who had ladders playing for the New York Mets there's going to be a new edition come Sunday he's a pitcher and he's known in New York Kenny Rogers we're very pleased to announce today that we've made a trade with the Oakland A's organization to acquire left-hand pitcher Kenny Rogers required Rogers for two minor league players out feel there Terrance long who's playing in Norfolk right now and left-handed reliever lien our Vasquez who's pitching in binghamton with our double-a affiliate we're ecstatic to make this trade to add a picture of this caliber Kenny is a tremendous athlete and we one that we think will thrive in the National League and be able to get them now you know prior to the trading deadline and to do it without having to move a starting pitcher or upper level pitching I think is extraordinary for us it gives us quite a few options to consider still and allows us to maintain the depth we have and our pitching both within the starting rotation and in the bullpen and there is the trade Kenny Rogers comes from Oakland Vasquez and long there are there numbers Vasco is a left-handed pitcher used in relief Terrance long pretty good talent there with good numbers and some good speed they are gone hello everybody Gary thought along with Tom Seaver Steve going through the announcement Tom Seaver with the reaction well I thought about today what happens to the New York Mets pitching staff you've got if you count Bobby Jones when he does come back you got seven starters do not think the steep Phillips is done and they've got more deals in the works and we'll find out about that as far as Kenny Rogers I don't know him personally but I know how are you reacted to the press and to the fans his last trip through New York and it wasn't necessarily pretty if he comes here and does not get off to a bed that does not get off to a good start things could turn bad for him so it's kind of for me a wait and see situation but I do not think the trades are done as far as the New York Mets are concerned maybe one deal to set up another one I think so all right one deal that's not going to be made is Sammy Sosa going anywhere he and the Chicago Cubs are in town and Sammy Sosa will be honored here tonight well think about Sammy Sosa when he goes to right field with power he is a very difficult out he gets in a slump when he tries to pull the ball I talked to him in that series in Chicago I said what do you do different Sammy's that went to right field and made me keep the first side closed he is an all-around player excellent defensive player and excellent baserunner there you see his homerun start this year and he had 66 last year a little slow he has picked that pace up he now leads the majors in homeruns for the Mets a good or bad omen that Sosa is not at a homerun in its last seven games Sammy Sosa on hand here tonight it is merengue night and lots of folks representing the Dominican on hand and they were down close to the field getting autographs from that slugger when we come back we'll talk about Kenny Rogers in New York City to the desert paradise

New York City with that story here's Sean [Music] thank you very much Gary in this starting pitching shopping spree the Mets their first step to checkout aisle first it be a little concerned as to which Kenny Rogers they're getting the one that switched effectively this year for the one that struggled in his first appearance New York for the Yankees according to Steve Phillips one reason they acquired Rodgers was this desire to come back to the Big Apple he wants to come back to New York my conversations with Billy Beane have really gone on for quite a bit of time we had some discussions and spring training and Billy even said back then he said this guy has no fear of New York he would like to come back to New York at the time ever if the occasion ever presented itself we talked to him again today and he said he said I have no problems with that because obviously we knew that was going to be a question he'd have to have answered I've known Kenny since his first day in the big leagues I think he's made of the right stuff for us for our team I think he's a very good fit with our infield I think his ground balls are going to be a welcomed addition to our staff his competitiveness and that he's left-handed is wonderful I have time to prove to myself or anyone else but I think when I was in New York myself I can pitch a lot better than I did I have no doubts about how I pitch then was it what the way I can pitch for a lot of games I was very happy with the first year but for myself I know I'm better and I think I've shown that but for me to go back to New York and have a chance to do that prove to myself more than anyone that's that's what I'm looking forward to doing during the news conference Rodgers was asked if he was healthy he said physically yes mentally I don't know if anybody's healthy and that brought a smile to everybody's face especially Speed Phillips that is the story from down here let's throw things back upstairs to you now Gary [Music] Oh Oh [Applause] [Music] Jeeter Gutierrez performing the national anthem here at Shea Stadium tonight the crowd will be on hand and lots of them have come to see that man the major league leader in a homerun Sammy Sosa just how many will he get well that's the question baseball fans have and that's why they take the opportunity to come out and see him and there'll be a nearly a full house if not a complete sellout here for this game tonight the New York Mets playing some outstanding baseball as the Mets now have won their last two they are 56 and 41 while the Chicago Cubs have won their last three Yoshii will be making the start tonight for the New York Mets 11 one eye on the scoreboard a bit at least because Atlanta that had a 5-1 lead over Philadelphian Game one of a doubleheader is now trailing Phillies have come back to take a 6-5 lead in Game one of the double-header there you see it we'll keep an eye on that game 1 and game 2 Schilling pitching for Philadelphia get hit early in Game one he is out of there but it Lantis now behind Sammy Sosa here tonight received a lot of gifts as a number of the members of the Dominican Council were on hand here tonight from the consulate office making the presentations and for the New York Mets an award of $10,000 that check made to the Dominican charities which Sammy Sosa has worked so closely with over the past few seasons and in particular over the past year and that is from the New York Mets Omar Minaya in the middle out there with the presentation from the front office of the Mets tamo he just generates enormous interest this is a real superstar well the electricity when he walked out of that dugout there were a group of his comrades from the Dominican Republic behind at document there's some Patriot it was just like electric they exploded when he walked out of the dugout applause you have a lot of people a lot of celebrities from the Dominican here the senior lawn marshal is going to throw out the first fish they have entertainers the person who's got the biggest ovation here Sammy Sosa that's saying a lot when you see all the names that are on here tonight sir and Sammy of course is to continue to be very very active regarding the charity work in the Dominican Republic in fact sent a letter to every congressman yesterday in the United States asking that they support the Dominican Basin bill which is now pending before Congress which would provide economic help for the entire Caribbean and in particular the Dominican Republic and people from the Dominican on hand here tonight to recognize Sammy and cheer for him and they came early and they'll say late because it's also merengue night and as usual a smile on his face Kenny Rogers Tom's not supposed to be here until Sunday Mets apparently are going to use the six-man rotation here are the numbers the numbers for the season for Kenny Rogers 5 and 3 4.3 earned run average the thing that strikes you will look at his numbers is his numbers also with the Yankees 1815 in those couple of years numbers you look at Rogers this year is 5 & 3 with a 4.3 run average 119 innings pitched he's given up 135 hit 135 hit but if he's a ground ball pitcher with this infield that number is going to go down if he gets the ball up he does get hurt he's supposed to join the team on Sunday let's check out the Sprint PCS starting lineups thinking morandini for the Cubs to lead it off at second Tyler Houston will bat second Mark Grace at 300 mark again Sammy Sosa the cleanup Paul Rodriguez was great power right behind him Jeff Reed has come over to play for the Cubs now doing the catching Ord and as a short Goodwin will be in center and Kevin Tapani bats night [Music] and avocado Yoshi making his 19th start for the New York Mets looking for the messes in terrific of late the starters have been terrific it seems to have gel Yoshi in hundred 180s 107 hits 36 walks and 51 strikeouts he has given up 16 home runs one loss against 7 and 7 with a 5 point 0 6 I think about Kenny Rogers here that gets to me it is the same kind of pitcher that they have on their staff already look at the defense behind Masato Yoshii our tri-state for defense many Agbayani and left McRae and Cedeno in the outfield Ventura or Dona so fond so and all route in the infield Mike Piazza behind the plate the style of pitcher that they've just acquired if he does pitch for the New York Mets and we'll get into that later is the same kind of picture that they have you hopefully a ground ball pitcher that will take advantage of the infield defense one of the reasons they were interested in the Rogers as the fact he is a ground ball pitcher Masato Yoshii starts it out against Mickey morandini leading it off 1o count Lauren Daniel lay one down given a chance doesn't there fouls it back and the count evens up barn Dini a veteran worked around the infield he's playing at second base tonight he's got a 7 game hit streak coming into tonight's game Tyler Houston the third baseman the man who will follow him in the lineup then Torres in at third base Yoshi with a one-one delivery time misses down low and the count goes to two balls and one strike Yoshi has had just one appearance against the Cubs it came last year and he lost that game to them though most of these Chicago hitters have not seen Yoshi off the glove Alfonso can he do it yes a 1 for 3 put out on morandini a couple of guys from the Chicago broadcast team Steve stone one of the combines does this infield as good as everybody says I said just watch watch actors do and they are shown to themselves I mean to a man around that infield and that's a perfect example great balance by Alfonso at second and makes a difficult play look easy and that's what they do so well they have committed the fewest errors the end the majors only 45 errors committed by the New York Mets all year Tyler Houston coming up to 60 average and struggling at the plate right now is that only a couple of hits in his last 17 at-bats his average has dropped down nine homers and not a broken bat looper for a base hit into left zion.t over to get it and Tyler Euston is on how you get out of a slump some time for the little Whipple ball hit and also hit it over the heads of the defense interior defense not yet well but it's why you hit it and it'll pop fly over short again the hawk Harrelson used to call most duck snort over shirt stop close enough that's north ad percent that's right and migrate the brandy all 300 hitter has grace for the five-game history batting 314 and he'll foul that one off and you see the left he's coming up against Yoshii here in the first sitting this Chicago Cubs laughs got a few of them Sammy Sosa were the power in the cleanup spot waiting on deck Yoshii the left-hander's herding 322 off team this year right-handers just 251 he's given up eight home runs to each side of the plate and that's going to be trouble down the line there's a great fight hit his sons on his way to third so Daniel with a great arm will get it in and Cedeno got it in in time to hold the runner at third ball gets away backed up there's one of those cases had the runner come he would have called in safely grace is on with a double and a six game hit streak [Music] that right-field corner [Music] and a double for mark rain his 24th of the year why don't you send the runner because Sammy Sosa and the on-deck circle was one out you can't get the DoublePlay unless they walk soso which I would not be surprised 34 home runs leading Lee Majors 81 RBIs fourth in the league behind Williams Bagwell and Walker not far behind Sosa's 81 trailing the leader Matt Williams who's got 88 you'll see the lots of these flags on hand here tonight from Sammy Sosa with a big chance early in this game is not homered as we said in his last seven games two on one out and Yoshi delivers down low to him ball one we talked about it in the opening movement Gary when Sammy Sosa as most power hitters are when they try to hit the ball to right field that's when they are dangerous hitter and power hitters McGuire's and the Sosa has a lot of when they tried to pull the ball they get in trouble Sammy Sosa knows that he knows how to get out of a slump and that's funny hit the ball hard to right-center what bat speed he generally I mean it is phenomenal there you see in our child swab homerun League leaderboard in the National League Sosa one ahead of McGwire now and Bagwell was having an MDP year with Houston Bell and Walker tied with 27 feet so four years two in a row at Sosa and McGwire going at it for that home run title Sammy of course finished up with 66 on the year last year Yoshi in trouble 1-1 as balls apply to the one in a which item of bat speed what's one of the things you do as a pitcher you see the bat speed of the opposing team and it's great not to be able not to have to pitch that opening game so you can watch their bat speed salsa the hitter you look at the runners on 2nd 3rd with one out Folsom as sometimes has the best bat speed in an axe lake along with Mike Piazza so sorry nothing add another to the leaderboard what are you pumped in front of the crowd that officially yours here in Shea Stadium maybe these people already in the ballpark I've come to see Sammy Sosa and disappoint them I do not think so sammy sosa delivers number 35 and he rocked it nine games since the all-star break that is his third home run in that side and here's Henry Rodriguez at the plate and there's Sosa three RBIs just like that three nothing Yoshi's now giving up 17 home runs in the year Rodriguez he's got 18 home runs though she comes in high to him and Rodriguez another dangerous home run hitter do one is filed back to ball two strike count on Henry Rodriguez we talked about Sammy Sosa go on the right field amazing thing about Sosa which is the same thing about the opposite he's one of the few guys who can hit the ball to the opposite field and you know it's gone on at least about they have that kind of power this rocket shots hit the foam in the opposite field multiple plummet off the field and you know just by the crack by the puzzle philosophy off the bat this applause gone out of the ops until a Mike Piazza same back to the same point 3 2 delivery Rodriguez is digging out on the strike e-files tippet held on to by Piazza Rodriguez who is second in strikeouts in the league as another lat total back ball right down the middle and Yoshi is not a strikeout pitcher this is my Sammy Sosa he has one side is closed and there's that traditional hop as he comes out of the batter's box and heads towards first he knew was gone you two was gone and whoever was still in the in the ballpark already knew was gone and so Dave Wallace some people outside the ballpark know Jeffrey the catcher pops it up the first-base all over look out no she gets out of the way in time and Reid is retired but damage done by the Chicago Cubs first stunning that ice closer the right-center field off you'll see and the Cubs of a brain up and leave Lena journey he would be out what Gabrielle is transformed into Cena's worried nightmare get sad without action to happen on the next cleanup tomorrow night at 8:00 on the wb11 this is revolting another death pain yeah I think he's good good can't even say the name of the product you can say it what are you talking about he's got a pickaxe anymore almost like European parrot let me hear you say bud nice and clear it sounded like blood no it sounded like Rick I think you can't going oh

day with pregame music and coaches on stands on Monday the metal of the Asian community Tuesday is African American night and Wednesday is Italian night for tickets call seven one eight 507 key ixx let's check the Sprint PCS starting lineup for the New York Mets tonight Bobby Valentine will put them out this way feed at the top of the order for the league's leading base stealer Roger Cedeno on guard Oh Alfonso john olerude Mike Piazza Robin Ventura Brian McCray and center Sonny egg Valley and let brayer down his it doing the 59 and on the mound Kevin Tapani run average 357 strikeouts against 25 walks [Music] cavity is one of those guys time you keep wondering how does this man do it [Music] he does it amusing he gives up hits and ara and and wins drive your sedan you'e the guts of a cat burger keep bathroom know what out you have to get and you know you're gonna get up front and he does he does and you know you're not a strikeout pitcher and he is and you got a battle you got to get a double play you don't have the greatest infield this infield for the Cubs is certainly not in the part of the infield of the New York Mets no question about that not only defensively as far as hands dobut range as well they struggle mightily this defensive unit of the Chicago Cubs ear down in the bottom four of the league in fielding percentage the breaking ball did he go they took a third knew where in perspective the cops have made 77 airs and the Mets 45 years I mean closing in on a few to one ratio man that's a huge difference Jim Riggleman team just won their last three their a game below five under that line by Cedeno to Center and a nice running catch good with center field has been o'clock for the Cubs right now Lance Johnson's out injured good without great speed got it done take a look at the line drive by sedan yo this is not an easy play twilight line drive run actually right at you very first hitter you don't get to see a bat a ball off the bat that's the first one that ball is arcing back toward his right shoulder that was a difficult fight good catch and Edgardo Alfonzo Edgardo now with a 12 game hit streak raising his average to 309 on the year Mr steady takes it outside think it's taking a look at the tri-state Ford defense for these Cargill Cubs Henry Rodriguez on the Left Curtis Goodwin and Center Sammy Sosa in right Tyler Houston Jose Hernandez Mickey morandini and Mark Grace around the infield Jeffery doing the catching towering flyball to center they get a mile high under that one it's just the opposite Goodwin running like an else in the first one that time just kind of roam quiet little gamble out there that time and they're quickly to down who's flyball out interesting story we understand in Detroit tonight the Red Sox tiger game has been delayed they had a violent thunderstorm the 70 mile an hour winds three panels came off the press box at Tiger Stadium no one was injured there's a crane from the new Comerica Park which is across the street that they brought in to fix one of those panels gouge 70 mile an hour wind so they're still going to try and play that game tonight in Detroit back there under way but obviously that could have been serious the old couch john olerude [Music] John hitting at 3:05 now a second extra batting practice of late with his manager Bobby Valentine try and get the swing back John has struggled this month piazza waiting on deck and had a good finish to the series in montreal valentine thought the other day when he came out of - he looked much better all the routes getting to 90 here in the month of July nothing wrong with that I've been up in the Binghams in New York watching that double-a Club you look at that final score that's out of Philadelphia so the Braves lose six to five olerude the right-field Sammy Sosa drifting in and that will do it so a typical Kevin Tapani inning as he gets three flyball outs one hired the other two lazy flyball no she will try and settle down now if he'll come up against Fernandez will lead it off in sport utility vehicle feature a body that's held to a flame I just been born the body and frame of the infinity 2x4 it actually runs expansion and together by over 4200 precision well it would be other wonder whether to export drives so soft because the beautiful [Music] hello mr. finishin well so do you have any questions

Mets is malum prohibitum Jose Hernandez sitting at 269 bottom third of the order Goodwin and then Tapani due up against Yoshii well the Cubs have already survived the most dangerous inning they gave up have given up 75 runs in the first inning off Chicago pitchers cavity came out retired the side in order the numbers on Hernandez play most of the year at shortstop Yoshi with the off-speed delivery to ball one strike count so you have been traveling to upstate New York was up watching the my early cuz the double a team in Binghamton and Tom Watson was up there first nation does not John over to another difference they hit free stuff if he does it's 3:05 and just out of room for Roger Sedeno and right but he said say hello to all the boys because if he fitted his way into the minor leagues construction role find out they don't step on people's toes and establish territory who's working with whom and what you're working on and all that stuff he let go hitting instructor of the Mets great good he is still in the organization he took the opportunity of Florida job to do that you do delivery to Hernandez strike three call yes he gets his second strike out hunter wendelstedt on plate umpire tonight calling that high strike one away I strike how high is it I would not have been a strike last year it's strike this year bring it they all rule if it's that close too close to take Curtis good when the centerfielder she getting the first out here in this city and filed back home plate umpire hunter wendelstedt is from yes the wendelstedt family Larry Fantine Oh Gary darling and Jerry meals the umpiring wendelstedt family harry wendellstat his death I had the pleasure doing the game he and his father in San Diego for the first time touching I mean a story that happened his dad had wanted to see Harry his father and hunters umpire together last year it happened his dad died the day before the game and that night at San Diego the two of them decided they would do the game in honor of their father and then fly back east for the funeral ceremony and it was a happened to be broadcasting the game that night free SPN and it was really a touching night till one to good one and he fouls off the off-speed delivery two balls two strikes they are human folks they probably have made a monumental mistake as a group in submitting their resignations and they know it I think now if Major League Baseball has started the battle no-holds-barred Curtis Goodwin the - - some have tried to withdraw the resignations and Major League Baseball to the moment has said we are not going to let you withdraw them and they have already gone out and hired a number of minor league umpires to fill in once the Major League umpires resigned right now Major League Baseball is going to let them go Wow it's an awful situation it's as if you say you know don't tempt me or I will pull the trigger at this gun pointed at my head and that's it situate you just can't understand how they would ever get there they put themselves right right in the hands and they prefer me to talk right it was if they if you if the umpire says the major league baseball what would you like us to do so you can fire us get rid of us that's what they would have said down to third Robin Ventura [Music] you know you can understand if they gone to matrix baseball and said we will we will find these letters of resignation they went to them said we have already but you know the verb is past tense we have signed these letters of resident resignation doesn't look good in almost you looked at well there's the door see you later essentially what they're doing don't let it hit you on the way out boy here's Kevin Tapani he saw he has only one in take the pitcher strike on the outside corner 35 year old veteran the Mets have never beaten he is 3a no lifetime against New York and he's got a 300 leader in this ballgame fouls that one off right field side no play and a 2 strike count on top Yoshii 34 year old right-hander against his mound departed at the plate for the moment daffodil hundred twenty six wins ninety three losses in his career as we showed you 19 game winner last year only

nothing cut Lea big baseball night in New York for the Cubs here Zella crowded Shea cleveland's at Yankee Stadium three sellout crowds do their that's a lot of baseball the Big Apple but going to jam them in in both sides of the river I hope somebody's up there in helicopters big pictures I mean actually that's not going to happen very often our both stadiums are going to be jam-packed same night as soon as that the darkness comes over this city and again what a sight that you'll see they just taken down low for a ball might be oscillating it off 3:20 now on the year for Mike he's just out of the top ten in average by two points files that one back 20 homers that's just out of the top ten in homers 63 RBIs that's seven out of the top ten in RBIs [Music] we talked about Sammy Sosa's bat speed this is the other individual nationally I think has the best bat speed and by bat speed I'm talking about when he takes that back to the hitting zone once it gets on his back hip and traveled out front of the front hip those two guys get it yet Mark McGwire's a little bit longer swing I think these two have the best bat speed leaving out the one before that I go all the way back to Georgia posture well he had tremendous bat speed right at the last second he had a whip sitting off man two balls two strikes on Piazza Mike's hitting 400 last 12 games four homers and 15 RBIs in those dozen games and reach for that one back Tyler [Applause] Mike Piazza can smell they hit on this one when he's doing the play father used to playing very deep especially with two strikes way out in front of the bonds of the little capper and really no chance watch Piazza going to first he knows that's going to face it written on it and you can see how he's busted out of the box he knows he's hit three twenty and he's darn proud to be hit to be a three hundred hits hitter need to get that a guy with Piazza who does not have good speed has to get his share of infield hits when the opportunity arises just that one because about deep Tyler Houston was playing it first hit for the Mets Piazza at first base Robin Ventura and Ventura swings and misses on it right Piazza knows two strikes third baseman is way back there killing us Jesse Owens imitation here again down to first you got it working on that hundred go to counter Robinson two pitches outside by Japanese Thomas Ventura has been red-hot as well 9 for his last 18 as covers a five-game span and against Tapani a lot of that bats and a 4-12 average with full home runs up [Music] then who are leading the mets with RBIs with 70 outside for 10th in the league big mac of the mets waiting on deck he just took my line right out of my mouth - I said if I are going to give you a quiz who leads to Messman RBIs not looking you know I guess I just reacted Robin's been the leader virtually all year yeah he just very quietly gotten it but he's got old wood in front of him Anita Piazza guys would hi on-base percentage you guys the top when you talk to Ricky Henderson mrs. Daniel that run well a lot of men on that was that's a surprise one two delivery of five yeses 63 runs batted in a Robin Ventura was 70 League leader Matt Williams was 88 Jim Riggleman team trying to make it four in a row and do damage to the best grace playing behind the ounces first base so I'm kicking the bag there but he moves office hit due to Ventura left-center field good with Rodriguez good one way back it bounces off the face of the wall he ass is the third relay throw will holding there and Robin Ventura stand-up double [Music] terrific power to left-center ball down and away Robin Ventura goes right with it look at the location on the plate on the outer half if he tries to pull that ball potentially a double play with the Twilight here I do not think that might be odd to pick that ball up he saw but he couldn't really tell if it was going to be off the wall or not and as a result was nobody out he's got to be held off the third by cookie Rojas that's actually very good running base running by Piazza two on Brian McRae the off-speed changeup out in front and a strike on Mac one of the reasons the gray is starting tonight in center even though he's sitting to 27 and it's struggled he liked Ventura has big numbers off Kevin Tapani in his career nobody out three nothing cub leaves Mets threatening to short Piazza will come home make the play [Applause] an RBI for McRae on the ground ball then it is three to one those credit McRae with the RDI that is 36 of the year well you get credit for an RBI but in that situation it's almost as if there is no runner on third base and your job is to get the runner second over to third so a job half done by Brian McRae and Tura still on second base you got to get a pitch off Japanese ace McRae does pull it to the right side get it on the ground at minimum they get a runner over to third base for Benny Agbayani Agbayani making the start in left field one away run her second base in the fastball by tappity missed and also frost up read read almost lost control of that ball it was a fastball and he was looking for something else that he he can't had to switch the glove at the very end in order to come up with a they're just doing a double check on their size runner on second you never know what kind of signs people are using other teams are using they could be using outs if we change the right-hand hitter left-hand hitter zion.t to third is an old the runners it out well the last three hitters have hit the ball right on the button bender the devil the left center and McCrae hit that ball sharply to shortstop that Grove in Piazza and this right on the button by Benny Agbayani [Music] she's just such a typical Kevin Tapani start he's given up a run here balls have been tagged all over the place in the inning and he's got a chance to get out of it giving up one run rayer dunya's takes the breaking ball down low and there is a lesser than that Gary what Kevin Tapani does he works quickly gets on the mound he doesn't Sydal around basically goes after hitters and throws strikes doesn't walk Minnie as a quick pace to him and you'll see good defensive plays made by pictures of Jesus he doesn't put his in feelin ocular sleep davin eight one ball one strike count on our Dona infielders like to be alive up there no that's not going to be a lot of time between pitches the doughnuts a wander around kick up dirt again just pretty much take one step settle back one one to raydonia is the left-field Roderigo and Tapani indeed -

Caroline dissent Kennedy's private memorial service here in Manhattan that's coming up right after our game tonight on The WB 11 News at Ten the flags are flying at half-staff here in New York as elsewhere recognizing that tragedy over this past week Mickey morandini will lead it off morandini Houston and grace morandini denied a base hit as he put one up the middle of bounced off Yoshi's blob and went to second and Alfonso guiding strike taken on the inside corner Barn Dania as you see you can tell just by watching it is a very patient hitter one of the reasons he's in that leadoff spot he'll wait and he'll wait some more make you throw strikes look for the one he wants morandini is always been a good contact hitter and yes you'll do that too outside doing and those kinds of hitters Gary can hit more than one pitch that's why they are so patient I don't have a pitch that they are afraid of many young pitcher young hitters excuse me won't be afraid of the breaking ball and become first ball high ball fastball intervals and chase that first fastball that they see I was veteran like morandini patients are the same we'll sit there and wait and wait and wait makes the pitchers go a lot they gray the play on the morandini retired is out here in the third inning Tyler Houston kicked off that first fitting with a base hit came around to score in the Sammy Sosa three-run homer first it he said of Yoshi one four four and the times he is faced it at the third hitless last 18 of bath still heading to 64 and he tried to lay one down to get on fouls it off first right you know talking about the Kenny Rogers deal and him coming over here and Bobby Jones comes back the starting staff of the Mets will have seven starters and if you listen to Bobby Valentine and Steve folks what they can do is plug in there's Bobby now wider there plug in Kenny Rogers when he gets here right into their rotation but their final bobble he started to say fair did me the know fire let me pull down there Jeremy leopard take a look at it again Wow let's catch a break there damn Arango he can't really tell I'm crier right on top of it look at that line it was right on top of him yeah by Aaron Jones right there so I'm talking about Bobby Jones and he comes back the Mets will have seven starters and it's listen in the press conference some of things said on the field prior to the game the idea that there's going to be another deal made they have seven pitchers win Jones probably Jones right there if when he returns he's been throwing and doing rehab on that for solar burning deadline is Saturday and they're going to plug this picture in Kenny Rogers in meaning that all the starters are going to stay in rotation through this first trip through meaning that if another club is looking for a starting pitcher you don't want that sort of picture coming back out of the bullpen for a trade you want to keep them all in there and give them a maximum value with they will don't say okay these are our five starters and this guy's our six starters and we'll pitch on a five day rotation so he's our spot starter thinking to do is pitch everybody right on rotation now make the opposition what are the other teams that are looking for pitch and make those teams to find who they think is their number six picture on this back and there's the first walk given up by Yoshi Tom one of the things that were looking right here last year second half of the season Masato Yoshii struggled he he only went two and four Bobby Valentine knows when he pitched in Japan he pitched on a seven-day rotation so he tends to tired Bobby Jones no one knows what he's got left Dell Leiter's tried to pitch a lot not necessarily successfully deep into games maybe a six or seven man rotation isn't such a bad idea I can't do that I guess no way you can do that if they don't make another deal somebody's got to go to the bolster you can't take what is basically a sinker ball pitching staff give them all the rest when they're thinking ball doesn't sink then it goes out of the head yes right and you've you've got depth down remove on bounded on the sinker you can't stretch the sinking ball staff out you can't fit them once a week they've got to be fine they better control into the other downward movement on that fastball and this is the kind of stuff that has to have that if they don't make a tray somebody somebody's gonna the bull take your pick it is now wider and brick read Oh who's it going to be because he could go to the bullpen is the right-hander and they've got candidates to do video yeah get a Kenny Rogers take him to the book and no that's not what forget it will be interesting Rogers from Oakland today for minor leaguers by grace one one inside to grace by grace a 310 career average one of the most considered consistent hitters year after year in baseball it's always right there around 310 to 320 always Sammy Sosa waiting on day runner at first one out grace not fast ground balls could turn to takes it inside at its three in one great run with who are you know who on deck right they can hold [Music] a gradient field behind you you got a half grapes put the ball in play [Music] three one count grace with a 6-game hit straight runner goes get run hit face hey Flyers out of there is my grace on a hit and run but the ground ball right into Tyler Euston heading to second base and Almanzo and not move we're going to play on that ball anyway but didn't need to since awakens happening here mark gets credited with a base hit the other thing that Yossi goes to 3 & 2 which eliminates two double plays that have never got the lead runner runners off a non strikeout pitcher on the mound and gets hit with a ball so I thought this is made of two of you you got a double play instead of three and two you still have a run on first and you're facing Sammy Sosa with a runner on base so says 35th home run in the first fitting the right field over the 371 mark and a strike taken on the inside they aren't too excited about launching Sammy play early well today I'm talking about a genuine bona fide platinum hero to the Dominican Republic as well as elsewhere but especially in his homeland this guy is in they just cannot get enough of Sammy Sosa has had 16 home runs against the Mets 242 at-bats fastball is right there hips up and out over the plate doesn't dry the clothes go to right field there's a long way to the opposite field he will hit home run and he will strike out 356 times the fight he struck out 93 times Ian Rodriguez back to back in the order are 3 & 2 in the league in strikeouts both to delivery rule elected miss by much oh she really wanted that one one ball to strike down or if you fool around up there look at this pitch where's it on the plate yes on the plate that had to be called lying I think Mike Piazza reaching up for the ball the ball had to be up if you fool around up there family so so again to reiterate back speed up there he can get to that high fastball is the one peer delivery got him on the outside corner no she fell down and salsa stays the talk with hunter wendelstedt a minute I don't think you'll see knew what the call was he was down before the call came he got out and had to look to see if indeed he was break3 it was oh brother now I've seen it all with that they gave the ferret

sedan Jolinda get 3:22 top of the order flied out his first time up a best average in the league starting today's play john kerr casey brothers moved to handle Larry Walker for the league lead in hitting now again 371 364 the Daniel 323 starting the day we've got two of the top ten hitters in this game Henry Rodriguez fourth of league in hitting for the country but Daniel takes that strike on the inside corner two and one he rocks fun to do is walk the development of a young player today you're getting a lot of playing time now the first two pitches here was checking his deep then checking the infield checking the outfield to see what they were playing when he first started playing here this season get in same plane time he was concentrating only on the pitcher but he has developed now a level of confidence where he's seen a bigger picture in front of him and he wants to know how the defense is playing so maybe that's how the pitcher is going to pitch him Tapani took that one away from him that's kevin Tammany's first strikeout Hey look at it from up above and the off-speed pitch looks like it's going to be a strike and fades away that is a good splitter definitely takes something off of it all looks like it's going to be a fastball all of a sudden dies and moves at the hitting zone down in a way that guy - Alfonso flied out he's trying to continue a 12 game hit streak that he has going bird garden well Fonzo a 342 July so far her hitting instructed the players have gotten along with very well he Bradley one one and a breaking ball in for a strike is quietly taking that rollover tried to keep the low road just work with player Rick Nolan that to do himself done that well and also don't think that Vicki Bradley doesn't know these hitters and the hitters don't know him he was right there in spring training end of the bat on that one and ended that'll do it so company has an easy inning he retires the side in order Mets are down we've completed three

fastball by she misses three and Oh more and more in the big leagues diable bodies catchers and pitchers the commodity that everybody is in line for so many injuries in both departments so many pitchers and catchers showing up injured clubs like the Cubs Jim Riggleman simply had to find somebody to come in and play Bobby Valentine knows about the injuries on the pitchers side and he walked him that is the second walk here she has given up in the game tell us with the one down here in the fourth inning [Music] that will give Jose Hernandes a chance Jason Isringhausen suffered enough injuries for a lifetime working out of the bullpen now for the Mets of course he came out of the bullpen the other night in ball court pitch one inning and then he turned it over to Pat mahomes I think that was a showcase down there Baltimore grumbling of a potential deal he piston Montrell one inning are the people Philips then that young man's got a great arm and he's got to get to a point a club that he's comfortable with comfortable too knowing that he has a job waiting get confidence himself that's the biggest thing that he need he says he likes to fix pitching out of the Bukit get all wound up boy that hit harder nan des has got a base hit Hernandez on he's one for two now and the Cubs have their Fitbit RTOG I'll tell you Tom oh please not Albert Belle please are you kidding I couldn't agree the horn dogs don't do that I could not agree with I mean his name is surface but please a little more poison and that is I don't know I know he's got a bat he can hit home runs but I think the poison he does inside the walls was more than he does good on the outside his name that's a rumor that's only a rumor that's been floated it's been in the papers the Mets are talking the Baltimore about Dell here's Curtis good when did it get to 83 and that one's inside four walls I think it is the Mets have a dirt that they have an excess of outfield they have a lot of outdoors at the major league level in the minor league level Caryn's long was one of them that they prayed it in the Kenny Rogers team they have a lot of Alphaeus that's one of their strong long suits if you will take off not in time lead back yet at second base if Yoshi had turned a little bit earlier you want that ball to get their gift at the shortstop as the shortstop gets there you could see that our dawnia's was already set up at second I want that ball to get there as he gets there that's better your opportunity is lost that's because the fish is gone for the bait one time and got his left hook with a foot with the hook and so you shorten about a couple of steps yep that'd have been way off and back two steps a second me read that second and that one to second base Edgardo Alfonzo Curtis Goodwin has got some real good speed if that ball hard and the Mets infield does it again this time he's hit into a double play in that ends the inning no runs two hits and one base runner left off

by wingspan Tom if your bank could start over this is what it would be cheap the most award-winning brand of four-by-fours on earth seen as the source for computers and technology and cnet.com and by the new Dodge is about change oh what a beautiful sight huh a paint at night and it's Shea Stadium a full house and a good ballgame three one comes on top as they got them on Sosa's three-run homer in the first inning john olerude against Kevin Tapani LaRue flied out his first time up John with eight hits in his last 31 at-bats batting 304 in the year and he's got one right there dose over to play it leadoff single jonno third hit for the Mets take a look at the swing go by the little bit out in front that keeps the bat right on the plane to the ball you can see it's just down front doesn't give up on the ball keeps that bat in the inning zone a long time doesn't get it in there and pull it out by over swinging this diffraction on front ruled it off that front foot but enough for a base hit Mike Piazza chasing that one on the outside part of the plate strike one Piazza singled and he scored in the second ending on the ground ball off by McRae he has looked the Big Apple up a few times already this season that's the Big Apple that lights up when he puts one out of the yard he's had 11 homers at home 9 on the road Japanese stayed away from me one two or whatever he's doing Kevin Japanese making Mike Piazza look bad if it was the base hit Piazza got earlier snapper down the left on the third base line that might beat it out for a base hit too bad swing here that looks like it's slider to you maybe a splitter or a slider something off-speed I didn't think he threw a slider tell you the truth I think was probably a splitter there's one of the things about Mike Piazza gets a tremendous bat speed a lot of pitches will try to slow his bat speed down by throwing him off speed pitches that's how you've got a chance to be successful I'm piazzas Calibur you cannot just pitch in one way his strike pitch right-field towering flyball Sammy Sosa runner halfway fair territory but that makes the play one day I think he just missed that and I think Mike Piazza noses zagging about bat speed got the ball up a little bit fit and he was gone that way with Hugh strike he just missed it the concentration with the eyes to ball on the outside part of the plate right down on it for heat girth mr. a little bit out in front that's where I get it underneath it it's the bottom half of the ball Robin Ventura nodding at 288 23 doubles on the year for the Mets third baseman as he had won in the second inning and was stranded Kevin Tapani a hard time getting him out of there race playing behind the runner at first the left-handed hitter up and the off-speed deliveries away grace moves in to hold John Olerud close the nose he's not going to run and then moves back davin II try to find himself a win is a win a loss and free no decisions in his last five starts Kevin's happened he's gone a while as last when was June 24 against Colorado six and six on the year for a 19 game winner last year duo delivery by tappity a chopper Gavin II looked the second goes the first grace-filled dude out take a look at our Tony of the line score they come three five ago the Mets won three and the mold closes got the three-run homer for Chicago and McCrae on the ground ball out the Mets RBIs Brian McCrae see down runner at second base now in john olerude the great grounding out his first time up 360 hitter against happening that's trailing by two the strike to Bryant you know Gary you talked about in the second inning where the message runners at second and third and one out they only scored the one run I think the pitcher has to do and a veteran like Kappa me will know it here a runner at second base of 2 outs of this a big out for him this is a big run to save granite old Roux does not run well a second base and a sharp single may not score him but with fuel to out she does not have to hold up at second base what I things you have to do as a pitcher and veteran pitchers smart like Japanese can do will recognize which outs are important as this there are usually five in a game that you have to get to win and for him this might be one of them ah speed fits inside corner and the beauty at grey hitting just 195 with runners in scoring position is down on the county or wanted to down the third but foul on the fastball Brian McCray of course clearly an outfielder who's available in these numbers off tappity talking about trade deals the gray was put on waivers to nobody claims though if there was a deal McCray would certainly be a name the men would be willing to put into that mix Mack has struggled at the plate that here to 26 and again fights to stay alive one ball two strike count this where it's happening can really get any hitter going he throws all that off-speed stuff on a split finger pitch try and guess on him here and you're probably going to be in trouble you just try and lay the bat on whatever he gets up there one two and that one missed down low too i'ma say regularly normally in this situation two-strike does try to do exactly that good lay the bat on the ball put the ball in play to the left side do down over Rudolph's second base chopper to second base morandini so again as tom says happening able to get the big out no runs the base hit base runner left on its leg and that's the stranded to both the been second base 3 1 cups greetings maxing stopping somebody call 9-1-1 hey hey is this your truck yeah

his first time up top of the order morandini and Houston to follow Gary farm Tom Seaver and our crew on hand here at Shea where the Cubs have the 3-1 lead Sosa's Homer hoping so far breaking ball misses - no I know we're talking earlier in the day and the evening here Gary about the trades with Kenny Rogers and a lot of times see Phillips the general manager Bobby Johnson they're very opinionated focus on they're not always on the same page see Phillip seeds they think that and the trade that they made that Terrance long is the triple-a player oculars got just be a player and everyday player in the big leagues and in Bobby Valentine's as well as a 24 year old a player it doesn't have that much Paris only get 14 home runs and 47 RBIs and strip life so he doesn't see he doesn't think you please explain whether a lot of Valentine was trying to sell the trade is just that they did not give anybody up that's what he was trying to do I've seen long play a couple times and he looks like he's going to be a pretty good player yeah he's played with a mess couple of times but a pretty good numbers family retired Yoshi's fourth K and the other part of it too that you got to look at when you make it trades and you're talking to the players and you say this player is going to be a flyer in the big leagues the other numbers on Terrence lawn in the bottom the one we're talking about three twenty six seven hundred and forty seven RBIs in Northland is that player going to be a player in a First Division team or a second division is he going to be a player on a pennant or contending Penta for a pennant team and that's a big issue there Steve Fulop so when they say you guys get him he's still playing at big leagues he gets a big league player but what they don't see that - what they don't say is where is he gonna fly raydonia is patently made that came our Nady retired by radon is we talked about at the very first city now they make the difficult play look easy Oh dawn is getting down making sure that he gets the ball them part of that glove great balance up on his feet and a strike to first base I don't get any better now here's Tyler usin with two down absolutely right Tom I think a lot of fans forget that there are a lot of teams out there willing to make deals for players who they know are not going to be and I put in quotes winning players guys who are going to contend beyond contending teams because there are a lot of clubs out there right now we're just hoping bang around 500 maybe get their system going up get players or some here's the future that's of course not one of those teams they want guys who are out the win now log on a Miss good off-speed pitch by Yoshi one ball two strikes have received thoughts with Eddie Lynch and unless said Yahweh in a pennant race that's why we're not gonna angular when he got Aguilera the Cubs set a chance to compete for that National League Central they're our last place in the central to this right now but they had to get Aguilera right back with them now Beck's back no but any Lex his theory and so many that comes up when you're in convention you invest when you're out of convention out of contention you died that's why players with showers move that's why you will hear Albert Belle's name around all the way up through Saturday the Baltimore Orioles want to dump it 65 million bucks they want to dump team that's going to finish way at the bottom who's willing to take on that in hopes of warning with Albertville somebody will he will come something new ball two strike styling instant you down and the pitches low revolves and two strikes you know she is walked two and struck out for the Cubs three runs five hits off him grace waiting if Houston can get on here with

question the three nicknames before they settled on Cubs what worthy the white stockings wears after the Reds the Colts and what would be really politically incorrect in this day and age the Chicago

going again on the mats and the leadoff man on again yeah hair situation 3 and Q who will get the advantage obviously the hitter we've said it so many times and seen it so many times not really a bad pitch a good job by Agbayani not trying to pull a ball one with it a ground he does have excellent power he doesn't have family social power to the opposite field but he has excellent power to the opposite field so Agbayani picks up his sixth double Nets have had the leadoff man on in three of the five innings and have scored only one run Ray Ordonez thank you for a strike or dounia's beside you spring hits in his last 23 advance he has had prolong hitting streaks and then got into prolong plumps his young career and that one to left-center field towards the gap oh I got a cat for throw but they won't get it worth more on a candy bar Rodriguez a magnificent parallel to the ground can't rock the mess of a run you will see that play on every highlight film baseball put together for next year that's as good as it's get thank Brian he was all the way to third base and if the Outfitters here knew to ban any idea look at Ronnie so he can't believe the ball was hot there was no place really Frank Ronnie to go and or take his eye off the ball with nobody out he's got to stay there and be able to tag up and get to third base in that exact situation that ball hits the ground he's going to score easily anyway towards third way in was Houston makes the play and yes Yoshi and again thank Biot II can't move [Music] hominy usin way in looking for the pot off of Masato Yoshii look at weighing off the ground the ground he may have done that in his own indoor Bobby Valentine took it off what apply in left field by Rodriguez holy mackerel you talk about an inning breaker big rally breaker I mean that would have been a double a run it would have been a runner at second at a 3-2 game with Wow with nobody else instead he makes this play one down runner at second Henry Rodriguez the Daniell a chopper towards first mark grace this is Anna Kevin Tapani game I don't know what is spectacular play by Rodriguez and the potential Nets beginning they do not store we do exactly

on today's private memorial service held in Manhattan that's right here in the wb11 news at 10:00 immediately following our game Sammy's up is three-run homer in the first inning is accounted for all of the cub runs struck out his last time up and takes the pitch inside auto-delivery strike on the outside corner if you look at those last two pitches the fastball up and in and then the fastball away for a strike what they did not do Yoshi in the first inning want us to throw the ball inside the Sosa before they went away pretty good leadoff hitter here's the one one delivered inside again two and one Sammy Sosa threatening to put up another magnificent season of 400 plus total bases if he can do it and he did it last year he will become just the fourth player ever damn consecutive years 400 plus total bases Chuck Klein Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx the only others ever to do it and he is on a pace right now for about 410 piece of butter wendellstat on that foul ball pretty good piece and a pretty get this job there Duval to strike out on social Dominican flag and evidence throughout Shea Stadium tonight she's to delivered a flyball right field today no yep wrong look at fall is in bringing his street silver I'm saying that would be number 36 if we're planning Wrigley Field he just on IV by an eyelash the citta netball about 475 feet and that is a dead home run at Wrigley Field here a big long tall out for that it's so indicative of what could happen in that Chicago ballpark and when you go on the road and he knew it he was not running he knew that ball was not going to be home run got 19 on the road and 16 at home however the Cubs play the vast majority of the second half at home they played a lot of road game and that is when the wind blows out in Chicago and he's coming off the Great Plains travels north and blows out over the Great Lakes that's when the ball flies in Chicago - oh count well any thinking out remember the jump in the first time it's over on coming out of the box that little signature jump that he has when he knows he's got a homerun it wasn't there Henry Rodriguez who made that great catch fouls that one off a two ball one strike count Rodriguez ole four to nine game history the Rodriguez coming into tonight's game Sammy with 35 major league leading homeruns certainly looks like he'll get over six feet again that's all new virgin territory outside three and one Mark McGwire's actually got a better home run for at bat her plate appearance ratio doing this year Sammy's third Bagwell is second in home run ratio Rodriguez on a check swing McGwire gets one every nine point four at-bats Jeff Bagwell every ten point five and Sosa every ten point seven coming into today's play boy the McGuire's of initiative from last year has indeed carried over carried over in your mansions back-to-back 60 home runs season back to back unheard of for bulk of them and Ken griffeys can hit the fuse yes he's right behind him Rodriguez picks up the wad he has now walked for the game they're the numbers on yoki here in the sixth inning 96 pitches 54 strikes 42 balls lot of pitches on a hot night and only into the sixth inning home run stop home runs are up this year ten percent from last year I saw a number just startling on what on how much home runs have increased in Major League Baseball in the 1980s the whole eighties drill hired the right feel that's going to be a base hit for Jeff read turn going to second ball Bob will bite the Daniel wouldn't apply anyway read his on with a single and the Cubs have runners at first and third with one down read hit it hard [Music] in the 1980s they were take a look at the base hit there were 40 home runs 13 times in the 80s last year 13 players hit 40 home runs last year and I was looking before the game tonight there are about 16 players who have a legitimate shot this year at hitting the 40-plus home run total and I thought home month ago down I did too I thought because of the strike zone if they were going to change the strike zone I thought numbers of homeruns would go down it's like he may have pulled a muscle in the ribcage area Rodriguez I wouldn't be surprised if that came from the catch in the outfield and he's going to come out of the game and it looked like his bothered when he's running around second base and he's heading around playing a base it didn't look like he was comfortable running the bases it took him a while to get up after he made that catch in the outfield and he really had to stretch to do it on the Ordonez play right here that may have been what happened came down hard as well and after he threw the ball he stayed down waited a minute as though he might have been hurting so many Alexander the farmer met will come on and run and there is Rodriguez coming out of the game yeah that side right rib yeah banged it you banged an elbow into it still runners at first and third Jose Hernandez 1 for 2 with a single 3-1 Cubs lead they have six hit and a strike on the outside goner look at Rodriguez from first base now that's alright Bobby had to jump out of that it looked to me look right there nope they look clean going around second somewhere something's barking in that rib cage he is out of the game I ball hit foul by Jose Hernandez then back those home runs gear I've thought number of home runs go down because the strike zone is going to get bigger higher I'm going to get more strikes on things I've seen and you hear from any limps to Steve Phillips across the board up and down in baseball so money to all 3 1 3 2 counts or the hitters get the advantage and you're still getting a lot of home run Oh two counting out here and that's going to be a base hit Hernandez delivers an RBI single Manny Alexander scores and the Cubs now have a 4-1 lead Hernandez got through that was the same pitch he filed off the poor that was around his eyeballs Hernandez a 59 runs batted 37 brother runs batted in Yoshii closes on that 100 pitch level and that's just about his limit even 100 110 pitcher and he's used them all already just with one out here in the 6th inning up and out over the plate when fatigue sets in it's up and out over the plate and that may be it for Masato Yoshii Dave Wallace the pitching coach walking slowly and the left arm points to the bullpen those events who still do not have a complete game won't have one here either and Yoshi will be coming out of there seven and seven mark call to the bullpen brought to you by 10 10 3 4 5 what the hell did you do to those sharks when you see their big

good one runners at first and second with one out you and I were talking about before the game about the Kenny Rogers great he has three complete games but they need a guy to stand to snap New York nets them need a guy to eat up inning we've talked about it you've got to get beyond this sixth inning or this bullpen is going to be dead by the middle August when they play in this heat a lot different when you're pitching four or five times a week in this heat not just the pitches it's a warming up the times you got to throw in the bullpen it will take its toll by the middle of August 1st and 2nd occupied by the Cubs and that one's down low from Beltran I agree I think of all the things Kenny Rogers brings its the fact he's been a workhorse in his career number one he can't give you any he can get you to that eighth inning 109 77 career numbers Ordonez Alfonso relay not in time holding up a third base is read good one who's already it into one double play hit the ball hard the first time not quite hard enough here the high mound the rayar dounia's and not this time good one last time bouncing them to 6-4-3 and you can see the high hop and that prevented it Gordon runs very well though the Cubs end up with two outs and runners on first and third very double play combination they'll exchange sign to the right handed hitter up Alfonzo relays they signed the gray are done and a strike taken on the inside corners Kevin Tapani is o for 2 1 is 31 at-bats on the year for Japanese fish of the Mets down for his so far Tammany has won the complete game this year for the

kept it that velocity for such a long time Deveney was amazing his able his ability to throw the ball hard for so long was incredible you won't be spending any time with Nolan this weekend unassembled probably drop elbow to have known on the roof yep three and one Olerud jaboney has not walked anybody and has struck out one just seeing almost people in one place Tom I mean in Boston the all-star game was magnificent team of the century see all those Hall of Famers always got a base hit the center good one up with it and the mats out of going till four three four all the rules [Music] world there is Gil Hodges on the right great mr. Hodges in an 11 hearing laureate Paul Blair coming up and blew the curveball 10,000 strike asana lilibeth we got to go around the middle of their order here we're talking about Masato Yoshii he threw a hundred pitches and how locking is dented in his heat very hot Newman and I little praise around hot humid and you give them a middle of this net whenever they can play catch-up very quickly quiet Chicago cub bullpen Kevin Tapani works seven innings in his last start and a loss to Kansas City gave up five runs seven hits Tapani against piazza 2 on and nobody out here in the 6th inning breaking ball for a strike instead Piazza pool in the first to advance even though he got a single it was an infield single in the second inning scoring the Mets only run so far in the game Alfonso's at second all the roads at first yeah that's a second on the Mets in RBIs to Robin Ventura he'll take a timeout Tapani will step off is 73 with runners in scoring position for the best catcher having a big month of July oh one inside gut Jam japanese-made some nasty pictures Manny Alexander the shortstop of the infield fly rule in effect one down such great plants leader body he I think he thought he was going to get through it see I didn't get that ban head around and look at the positions appalled location yeah oh he just missed it again he did just miss that again he opened up watch the left hip come off open up that ball is right there in the hitting zone he can't believe it two in a row last time down the right-field line that one and that was right his wheelhouse down and in Tapani at set him up for the head knee in the first two at bat he go a wire wire nifty he had pitched him in and up off the fight before that and a breaking ball strike Robin Ventura here goes Tapani again that's trying to find a way to get to him when they've got guys on Robin Ventura Hernandez Manny Alexander left in short talking to each other but where to play particularly in left-field Manny Alexander helping Hernandez in the left Manny Alexander is the one getting the signs here first and what's going to be thrown so we can turn around to Hernandez even a little flu on where he ought to be if he oughta move or not seem checking behind him to see where he's playing bow to count in the dirt all the way to the screen there is a big wild pitch for the one down [Music] there's no ball and one strike mr. Robin out he did not pick it up and must have been the splitter that Dillon think that I could think of in here Owen to the splitter you may want to live by it but you can die with this because you don't have full control over look at that about 59 feet you may live with it but I there is that situation where you get yourself and throw a wild fish get yourself out of a double play situation as a pitcher and that's get a break their third wild pitch is thrown now Ventura with a one ball two strike count and first base open and kura ferocious hitter against Tapani and he got pulled third base and uses a fair hand Houston Manny Alexander the shortstop was moving in behind him and drips it away from the ball that should be an error they have not been a good defensive ballclub and that is just miscommunication on who they can to break the New York Mets they just gettin a big break while I'm three or four inches that was almost a fair ball it is an error charged to usin the cases that battle I Hernandez and left field wasn't even close but Manny Alexander the shortstop had started out that way Center against the new light the second base morandini will get the out but a run will score Alfonzo crosses and it is a 4-2 game it's happening how to get Ventura twice and did but break therefore the Met will go back to the important apps in the ball game five of them and here it is again runner on third two outs and a two-run ball game Ryan McCray rounded out last at-bat all roads on fire back Brahe had a runner on in the fourth inning hit 2nd and grounded out he got an RBI and a ground ball out in the 2nd inning with runners at 2nd and 3rd both of the Mets runs off Tapani have been ground ball outs that ball just missed inside one in one he is amazing he really guts the game out it's not easy the way he works a ball game always runners on dates but he doesn't walk people that saves him if anything does he gives up only 2.2 walks per nine innings tied for the sixth best in the National League if he walked anybody is the history old-school make him hit it you're a ground ball pitcher single ball pitcher which he is just don't walk them make them put it in play inside the McCrae three and one digging himself a hole here I got knee in the on-deck circle both that action Jim Riggleman on the phone the skipper of the Cubs davin he has given up the two runs six hits he hasn't walked anybody in the struck out one and he walks his first batter but we're asleep [Music] [Music] but he said somebody warming up underneath this is just the draw time for the bullpen he's going to set up an infield meeting here Sanders veridia both us now idiot that's the first thought he's made that is the throne only about four or five times now this meeting made me just clarification because of that pop fly that was miss playing in the inning already getting the little reminder education on the infield about what everybody's job in this situation is going to be I don't know if they went out to talk to taffeta or not you seen when he called the second baseman Mickey morandini in that was addressed as much of the influence it was to the pitcher about what to do in a situation if McCrae takes off and socks half wait a second if Valentine prices Cielo run as it were any Agbayani takes a down low for a ball they're looking from the gray to run you talking about holes in the infield there's john olerude the lead runner a grey at first now grace is holding Luther morandini the second baseman is he's all the way over the shortstop Alexander's way over there squeezing the middle on eggs Ayane well what I want another big out coming up beers Ringelmann basis can Tammany get out number three do down Canada's first 73 won in his last 79 we'll McCrae go 1-1 no I think he goes there I think you're in a situation where you know you've got a pitcher who is up around that hundred pitch count on a hot night and you're one mistake away from Vic in the league if you do sin and you're not going to sounder tell you get at least two strikes the grain leading off furs not run Agbayani get jammed again at faculties missing now three and one those pitches he was getting on the corners earlier in the game he's not getting anymore you're quite earlier about not walking people what a guy that does not walk people like Kevin Tapani begins to walk people fatigue is setting in and you got a guy that can pop the ball out of the ballpark with once one slang 3 1 there's Oh [Music] Turner's hit what he thought to be able to get to it and couldn't cut it off it's too hard by the API well for a big man and easily in the third basis just like that a couple more run 25 RBIs for Agbayani it's his third triple it is four for Agbayani represents the go-ahead run at third rare downhills takes a strike each team now four runs seven hits and Jim Riggleman did not have anybody up to bring in the face Agbayani and our dounia's the short hop Manny Alexander makes the client [Music] commenced to damage as they pick up three runs in the sixth inning bag by Nani with a two RBI circle and come back to tie this game up before only Adair Izzy and a freshman can stop

with a manager's job may be in jeopardy and should come under game career winner all rush either a little charting is not going to be pitching in this series blouses done less interesting the message do not have the next day picture charting a game usually to go pitch before usually they do as a norm Rula the youth chart games the day before you sit I'm sure about my tenth year and then I gave it to a rookie yeah didn't matter I could take some young pitcher make him give him a reason to watch every pitch one-ball two-strike count cooked on the way to blouses outside theory that's been in most clubs if you want the next day's picture charting in order to get to know who's in the lineup that he's gonna see we're about ten years and I did yeah I mean that's the way we did it when Gil came over and rube Walker Bobby Valentine doesn't follow that it doesn't like to do that never have the balls to strike count going on and missed he chased that one two down seventh inning [Music] fastball up and away [Music] or he looks a lot Dennis cook does get you in India and get you to that fit you can see was about or 5 inches off the plate Mark Grace looking down at Robin Ventura now you remember Aventura played for so many years in Chicago so what I'm fired is that Mark Grace looks at a venturi you know that's the buddy that the guys use somewhere along the line hung around with and they don't play way back on me all fun on you that's - uck you can't play me that deeply here grace can't run a lick not a lick not elect and if he if I were man Steve and Mark Grace spotted in this situation by them as much as I could grace lifts that one to right field the Daniell good inning for cook he retires the side in order that is cook on shutting him down seventh-inning stretch time

find less reading not more you guys one of the best cars the think it could be better you're not driving a car town immaculate there is Jeff Blauser who stays in the ballgame you'll be playing at third base ricky anderson is coming up more the madman as they've been he'll be pinch-hitting for Dennis cook bottom of the seventh inning Larry thorne Tom Seaver and our crew met to battle back to tie this game up for four they were down by as many as three sammy sosa and the home run in the first fitting for them since the break for Ricky Anderson big time numbers and Henderson fouls that one back you were talking earlier guess we chatted about the holiday weekend coming up here starting tomorrow actually starting tonight they're struck one go getting you loose in the Mets bullpen that fellow nice dear we've talked about the other two guys yeah and Bret and their Rickey Henderson going into surgery gets out of baseball classes at five years with the numbers that he has put up and he's talked about being so very proud of the number of run City is four join PAC Willie Mays huge accomplishment is what you've got to do is four runs to win and that's what I've done well and he's darn proud of it raid on base percentage not this time though Mickey morandini makes the play on it and Henderson as a pinch-hitter is retired one away in the seventh inning Ricky's putting up I think surprising numbers even for the Mets what he's done this year Roger Cedeno he is struggle against Kevin Tapani who stays in this ballgame Kapiti getting to fly out once grande out striking off adding 3:24 so Daniel 51 stolen bases the league leader started to show bunt takes it inside furball and a third base jeff blauser just came out to play their grace in front of first [Music] that makes such an important issue as far as defense goes when you think about the speed that the Daniel has if he makes those corner infielders the third baseman of the first baseman short not just a fraction just a half a step he increases his chances of driving that ball by him by the infield Grace's boot back now three you know and that will bring read out the type of Japanese really looks like he's working in a tank that the bottom fee he gave up his first walk in the last inning when the men kept going for 3 runs on 3 is by the way all of those runs in the sixth inning were Lidia's ready if needed in whooping it was an error in that hitting the cap enters that bat alive that Benford did groundout on the walk to McCrae and Benny eggs and he's purple it would have scored anyway pretty low he takes and he's on one away league's leading base stealer is on at first base [Music] and the managers go to work it is just a matter of whim is there a bit of play written while he's off to the races could be right now [Music] Edgardo Alfonzo throw over caveny has got a quick move to the plate not a particularly strong pickoff rule but a good move to the plate slide step and read the catcher throws him out about 22% effected on the year both Colorado and Chicago below the major league average the catchers which is about 29% Alfonzo one strike count at Gardo delivered a hit 13 game hit streak for him now he had a single in scored in the sixth inning one for three Cedeno and Anderson in the top five in stolen bases of the National League [Music] Reis holding its first where's the whole face it into left field and as I put it in the net a few on one down in the seventh second its Berlin [Music] very kind about seen in what it does to a ballclub you saw was the Daniel was up how it shortens the infield and what it does in that situation more fastball for a garter Lepanto and that's why he's getting the number two spot you will get a lot of basketballs when he's got Rickey Henderson and Roger Cedeno hitting in front of him so Kevin Tapani who gave of the world didn't I get through that sixth inning and they got three and he's not going to get through here either Japanese out of the ballgame the scholar the bullpen but 1010 three four five Xena journey to India with Gabriela penis word nightmare I'll be happy on the next Lina fashions the fashion and one guarantee the black make

takes with strike John as the coupling hips and a couple hits in last night's game he's got two on here with one away in a poor floor game just a double-edged sword for the shortstop you can see the shortstop behind Roger Zidane yo you want to hold the runner Cedeno because of his great speed but you can't give over that big hole between third and short that's another situation where speed such place that's a big factor and Heredia stayed inside on olerude way inside and gettin strikes he strikes on it John only goes to the left side being a left-hand hitter as well as anybody in the game that's the one away looking for the lead right here Alexander stays behind sedan you with all that speed at second base Oh to delivering heredia but side and just miss one end too all around hitting

enjoyed watching what a what this distance very lucky in a special situation being able to say that runner goes no throw the Daniel get his 52nd stolen base I don't know how smart of play that is you've got two outs the danger is going to score at anything in a situation where a stolen base is a surprise to the opposition it might also be a surprise to the hitter and was that a good pitch for Mike Piazza to swing out he looked like he was distracted oh one delivery stays off after su Daniel ran Piazza stepped out of the batter's box and he didn't like he didn't like it he did not he did not like the fact I don't think that so Daniel ran I think it bothered him here's the pitch the runner is going you're exactly right he's look at the runner yep they look at him I mean that is he backed out he was like what's he doing that for [Music] one ball one strike on Piazza do down did he go I want to check it first don't get an answer so drink of it no I guess Larry classy no sugars in

in the first inning all of the fans who are here cheering Sosa really were rocking when he hit that home run in his next three advance the Mets fans have responded both super ously to the outs that Sosa has made cheering the Met pitchers on for the battle in the stands here tonight a come-from-behind will do that for it is be a ship Danny Alexander will get his first step back came on as a pinch runner Rodrigues had to come out of the game having hurt his ribs on a spectacular catch he made brayer dounia's back in the fifth inning Alexander sitting 301 and he takes the fish and Turk Wendell down low maybe we see the reaction or did not like that slider what those point well is the terrific slider breaks very late right at the hitting zone [Music] hit'em all right and if you do hit it

flipping the Eddie Lynch is John's GM of the guy go Cubs and a gray puts that one to center good one one down one of the things obviously a general managers try to do is to increase the value of their players so they can't trade them if you look at angle arrow it was traded over here to the Chicago Cubs what he has done with Chicago an earned run average of six point four six but when they traded for Aguilera when he was of Minnesota he was three and one was six eight and a one point two earned run average where was his value going to be at highest right there and they trade him off to a

ago okay we'll send you off to death all right let's check out New York City today and I should say yesterday because now it is Wednesday morning and it's definitely been a forecast that turnout a lot nicer than we thought it was going to be but you like it when it's that way right except of course we're in this God situation we really could use the rain 78 and 63 the high and the low so those numbers a little below average just a teeny bit of rain earlier this morning 101 the record high in 1966 and 54 we're back in 1888 both we clear now 65 gibbehh days up there just a little bit the wind is calm the pressure kind of just hang in at 30 point 22 one place where they've had a lot of rain still is across the West California Arizona up to Nevada some showers and heavier thunderstorms that's going to stay out there as well then the heats building in the plains states back into the 90 most spots that will eventually be working our way and this plan is stuck off to our south bringing more rain to the southeast where they don't really need it anymore but the rain just kind of gets pushed off see when the movie ended up with just some sunshine and some clouds and I get a little bit of rain that really brushed across eastern Long Island earlier this morning and there's virtually short and now temperatures are kind of cool look at this you get Northwest 56 again very that's refreshing 68 at LaGuardia that's not so bad either 62 at Newark right now and we have even a couple readings in the upper 50s as you get up to the east into the island so the forecast weather map for the mall still a little battle going on high pressure here in eastern New England the front hanging just off to the south we're kind of sandwiched in the middle here so combination of Sun and clouds the rain should stay off to our south unfortunately again because we really do need to see that rain but what will happen is that sort of Disney Anders again off the mid-atlantic coast as we head into Thursday the high will eventually build back in and the warmer weather now starting to move back up in our direction so it's likely to get into the low 80s here on Thursday and look like snuck in as well the hot air now moving down from Iowa and parts of Illinois and that's going to be sliding in for the upcoming weekend so it looks like a dry spell of weather coming up as the community goes back up in the temperatures aspect I probably to at least 90 degrees attendees might get to Friday certainly by Saturday on into Sunday so you might want to think about heading to the beach this upcoming weekend looks like it is going to do that tomorrow well winds out of the Northeast to east at about 10 to 15 knots two to four-foot seas on the ocean one to two foot seas in the sound and water is holding recommencing the mid and upper 60s in most spots all right here's my forecast in New York City and the tri-state area overnight we'll just keep some clouds scattered about 63 the low in Taos that's pretty comfortable and you saw those 50s now in the suburbs then for tomorrow a pretty decent day a few more clouds I think then we've had across the area today you saw some of those clouds picking up on the satellite photograph so sort of a combination of Sun and clouds will hit 73 by lunchtime 78 is the high sensor now saying a little bit earlier a 27 that still should be pretty nice eating as well pretty nice five-day forecast just so we are heating things up starting up to 83 on Thursday it's going to get a bit more humid as well with sunshine and some clouds 88 or so Friday and then we hit that 90 degree mark or better Saturday and they know cancer range which is good but no it's not good well it's good for the weekend planners that it's bad for and we need their Noi thank

history and the most copied minivan in history now here's what's new for the new Dodge the Dobbs summer clearance with $1,000 cash allowance on caravan and lowers your price to just 17 785 or by Caravan with low 1.9 financing what's new from the new Dodge just catch the Dodge summer clearance alright give active Austin bikes Curt Curt well you know it was a fantastic night here at Fenway Park but not so much because of the ball game itself it's of what happened around the ball game they got everyone excited although it did have quite the fantastic start starting with the very first inning when pitcher Pedro Martinez who was the MVP of the game from the Boston Red Sox well he came up struck out the side of the top of the first and then in the top of the second got Mark McGwire to become the first man ever to strike out the first four batters as for New Yorkers well David Cone struck out Mike Piazza the lead off the third but in the fourth Piazza gets his revenge the single to right with two on and two outs hope the National League scored their only run of the ballgame an emotional moment though as Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter came in to replace Nomar Garciaparra hugs all around there and a standing O for the hometown Garciaparra as he left the game in the fourth inning American League up for one in the night X Genki John wetland gets ex met Jeff Kent on a 1 6 3 double play two in the game Yankee manager Joe Torre gets the victory for one American League the final a lot of New York's labor in this one but the pitcher from Beantown was the tastiest when he when he's coming out of my dugout I love it and he's frustrating when it's in the other dugout but they had quality too we were just lucky to jump on Schilling early and get that lead and then we're able to hold onto it it's you know the way Pedro had his stuff tonight this stuff tonight like trying to hit against them in a dark room it's very very tough to do and you sort of neutralized the good hitting who did I the first guy you face with David Cone yeah I was not I got a hit off you pop I mean it was definitely uh he's up customer-facing good pitches on me first to baffle stuff hung in there and I guess said I was happy definitely a proud game for not even the players admit it what happened during the game was secondary to what happened before Major League Baseball honored the 100 greatest players of the century Rickey Henderson of the Mets Roger Clemens of the Yankees on that team along with X Yankees like Reggie Jackson and X met Tom Seaver but everyone fell in love with the man who was the star of this pregame ceremony Ted Williams they call him the greatest hitter probably of all time the 80 year old Ted Williams brought the house down when he came onto the field thunderous applause from the players and the fans the reaction from the players totally unscripted as they went to surrounded him and talk baseball with him an emotional night for everyone here in Fenway Park and when I got up there tears were coming out of Ted's eyes and I kind of turned away I couldn't look at it so it's almost brought tears to my eyes you know the greatest hitter of the game seen that is getting surrounded by more great hitters and players and emotionally it was just outstanding you know when you have a chance to meet probably one of the best hitters a game and any any see tears run down his eyes pretty appreciation and fans and all of us gave him happy knows who I am and he talked to me I thought was doing nice the way everybody just kind of surrounded them and it's kind of funny when they announce connecting people please go to the dugout everybody said no nobody wanted to leave I don't think the fans wanted it to end I don't think anyone wanted it to end not only was Ted Williams there but Hank Aaron Lou Brock the Mets Ralph Kiner Mets announcer Ralph Kiner I mean it was absolutely one of the more special moments maybe in the history of Major League Baseball but certainly in the televised history of Major League Baseball and while a lot of people will take great memories away from the pregame ceremony one player decided to take more than just memories away from this game here in Boston its Fenway Park you know this is the probably only chance I'll ever have the player unless it's suppose season and who knows how long this ballpark is going to be around so in fact I hope the grounds he doesn't get too mad because I tore this piece of grass up in right field and I'm taking this baby almost be put in the bag and I'm going to have it forever and say that I played a right field at Fenway Park and something I'll never forget and I don't think many people will ever forget this ball game here at Fenway Park all-star game 99 the last of this century being played in one of the great old ballparks in Major League Baseball and may not be around much longer there's a push on here in Boston to try and get a new ballpark built but too many people love this a lot of the players and a lot of the manners and everyone's saying please don't let it go well we have to go we'll see you tomorrow night back to the studios Janna Roseanna all right Thank You
