The Whale of Ignorance
Saturday, May 21, 2005
 
Best Mets moment in years: Dae Sung Koo (a lefty, no less) rips a double off a 91 mph fastball from Randy Johnson for his first hit sincce high school in his second Major League at-bat -- more miraculous if you saw his first at-bat where he stood at the outer edge of the batter's box with no intention of swinging. (which I did, thanks to MLB All-Access). Then he scores from second on a sacrifice bunt when Johnson leaves the plate uncovered with a nifty headfirst slide.

Better yet, Tim McCarver says, "I'm going to go out on a limb say that thus far in this young season this is the biggest give-up at-bat" right as Randy Johnson delivered the pitch that got ripped to the gap. Priceless set-up.

Then, with Reyes getting set to bunt, McCarver says, "If it's not a perfect bunt, a guy like Koo could be an easy out at third" right before Koo scores from second on the bunt.
 
Comments:
yep, that was fantastic. and McCarver is a huge, huge idiot. I usually try to find one positive thing about his three hours of commentary, but it's tough to find more than one instance where he makes a good and not completely obvious point.
