For the benefit of Met and Giant fans, for whom the MLB Network telecast would be blacked out in their markets, Al and Bob did the 4th and 5th innings in the Mets TV booth and the 6th and 7th innings in the Giants TV booth. I have combined things from the three broadcasts to give us nine solid innings of Costas and Michaels together (this accounts for why the aspect ratio changes at times). This and a 2003 ESPN game as a guest broadcaster are the only two MLB games Michaels has done since 1995 and given how he was one of the finest baseball PBP announcers ever, that has been a tragedy for baseball fans.
