But you said you weren't starting it tonight...

metirish Aug 25 2005 08:40 PM

He has to now, KC is on a streak...

KC Aug 25 2005 08:47 PM

I weighed going back on my word and everyone blaming me for Pedro getting shell shocked and the blaming won. Enjoy everyone, I'm gonna record this one and watch it tomorrow afternoon.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 08:49 PM

Jacobs moves up to 6th. Inevitable.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 09:29 PM

Game on in 10 minutes.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 25 2005 09:39 PM

I was shitting a brick as this page loaded fearing some other Cranepoolian started this thread. Tuff to sit Matsui after his strong game yesterday.

metirish Aug 25 2005 09:45 PM

It would be nice to see Beltran do something, when was his last home run, seems like ages ago.

OlerudOwned Aug 25 2005 09:52 PM

Well, as someone had hoped, LuGo gets hit with a pitch. I'm "watching" the game on MLB.com Gameday, so I dunno if it was intentional or not. But it happened.

Frayed Knot Aug 25 2005 09:52 PM

And there's your HBP/retaliation. Howie & Gary speculating that Matsui's plunking had to do with his delay in getting to the plate following some sort of helmet mixup in the dugout.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 09:53 PM

And Matsui was laughing as he went to bat then, which pissed off the D-Backs pitcher.

OlerudOwned Aug 25 2005 09:54 PM

Uh oh, Pedro having one of his ugly control 1st innings.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 09:54 PM

Come on Pedro, use your curveball.

The Brooklyn Bum Aug 25 2005 09:54 PM

Oooh, I'm so excited for the game. LGM!

Valadius Aug 25 2005 09:56 PM

What'd I say!? He used his curveball and struck him out.

metirish Aug 25 2005 09:58 PM

You said it Val, Petey did it, great pitch, lets hope that was his bad inning.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:00 PM

Floyd finally gets a hit.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:01 PM

David Wright hits again! Here comes the Jake-Monster!!!

OlerudOwned Aug 25 2005 10:02 PM

1st and 3rd with no out for the Man-Beast called Mike Jacobs

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:03 PM

KA-BOOM-BOOM DIAZ!!!!!

Johnny Dickshot Aug 25 2005 10:04 PM

I got a bad case of VD!!!!

OlerudOwned Aug 25 2005 10:04 PM

Victor Diaz follows Jake's RBI DP with a 2 out blast. 2-0 Metskies.

TheOldMole Aug 25 2005 10:06 PM

The Brooklyn Bum Aug 25 2005 10:07 PM

2 down, 16 to go.

OlerudOwned Aug 25 2005 10:09 PM

Lead off walk for Pedro. He's throwing a lot of balls so far. Lets hope the O (and bullpen) can carry.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:14 PM

How weird is this outing for Pedro?

OlerudOwned Aug 25 2005 10:14 PM

Martinez responds to me by K'ing the side. I'll take it.

metirish Aug 25 2005 10:15 PM

Looks like Pedro has found his groove, that was sick.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:17 PM

Pedro didn't even try to beat out the throw.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 25 2005 10:22 PM

Pedro's not doing much wrong IMO. We've seen him take an inning or two to get up to speed plenty of times -- and at least they're not hitting him around.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 25 2005 10:23 PM

I knew I shouldnta posted that.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:27 PM

5 K's, 7 outs.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 10:28 PM

so far, I cant complain. Mets got 2 on small ball and long ball, and our ace is on the mound. Struggling tho, even tho no hits yet. Councell walks and steals 2nd. Do your stuff Pedro. However you do it, keep us in the lead.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 10:29 PM

maybe struggling is an overreaction to the fact he's all ready thrown over 50 pitches in the 3rd

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:31 PM

Pedro's getting his fastball up to 92 mph tonight.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:31 PM

Oh, excuse me, now he hit 93 mph.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:33 PM

2-0 Metsies through 3.

metirish Aug 25 2005 10:35 PM

Like Zvon said, the pitch count could be a problem, his career high for BB is seven, that's just amazing and that was when he was with the Expos.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 10:37 PM

Pitchers of Martinez's level always seem to find a way. A pop up and a foul out and its still 2-0 Mets. On an unrelated note, Shilling got shelled today in his 1st game back as a starter. 5 innings pitched. Gave up 8 hits, 6 earned runs. Threw 81 pitches, only walking one.

OlerudOwned Aug 25 2005 10:39 PM

Cliff with a one out double to table set for the Youth Power Movement, Wright, Jake the Rake, and Diaz due up.

The Brooklyn Bum Aug 25 2005 10:40 PM

Cornelius goes the other way with a two bagger. LGM!

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:42 PM

Floyd rips a double, Wright grounds out, here comes the Jake-Monster.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 10:42 PM

metirish wrote: It would be nice to see Beltran do something, when was his last home run, seems like ages ago. I agree here. Now would be a good time for Beltran to do a lil hittin. I know many made light of how he hits when Pedro pitches(early on), but at least we had that to poke fun at. Ive enjoy watchin Beltran do the little things. I really want to see him do more of the bigger things during this stretch. He grounded out.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 10:45 PM

Jake-Monster walks. Up comes Victor.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 10:45 PM

they pitch around Jacobs. Excellent. COMMMMMON Diaz, lets plate that run. (I got some Shaefer points in my pocket if you do.....)

smooth 1-2-3 inning for DaAce. i went looking for an appropriet pic of scooby horizontally floating and embracing himself. Couldnt find one. So ill have to settle for this scooby snack

OlerudOwned Aug 25 2005 10:55 PM

8 pitch inning for Pedro, 1-2-3. That helps.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 10:57 PM

whats he doin there? Scratchin fleas? And that is his tail, right? (I know we got some youngins who view. I must behave)

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:01 PM

I hope the Dback batters help out by swinging their bats and not looking at too many pitches. Pedros up to 67 pitches. Afew quick innings is what we need. Get him to go deep before we hit the pen. We could def use 7 or 8 from pedro. If he goes deeper than that Ill eat my scooby snack. .....or my Met hat. You can make the call......

The Brooklyn Bum Aug 25 2005 11:03 PM

I was wondering how long it was going to take Fran to start blabbing about that thing that I'm not going to mention. :x

Johnny Dickshot Aug 25 2005 11:05 PM

Hat.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:08 PM

Johnny Dickshot wrote: Hat. I have a collection of met hats, so I can afford that. Only have the one scooby snack. Hat it is. Yikes, I just noticed the unmentionable myself. Pedro got thru that inning nicely. If he finds one of his REAL grooves............. Ill shutup.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:09 PM

Weird game for Pedro.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:10 PM

Why can't Beltran get a hit?

DocTee Aug 25 2005 11:13 PM

Question re: superstition... does it only apply to the spoken? Or any mention? If the latter, check out the mets homepage-- Dumbass IT dept.

Even Gary and Howie are talking about it. Argh!

And there goes another Mets no hitter. :oops:

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:20 PM

Stupid media buffoons, looking for banter...

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:20 PM

2 hits. Only one out, 2 on. Pedro up to 93 pitches.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:21 PM

Tim McClelland can't make up his mind, can he?

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:24 PM

he gets out of it. GOOD JOB!

Johnny Dickshot Aug 25 2005 11:25 PM

Great escape job by Pedro. He's prolly done.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:25 PM

Wright is SAFE!!!!

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:27 PM

Johnny Dickshot wrote: Great escape job by Pedro. He's prolly done. 100 pitches on the bone. (that dont sound right^) If he gets to bat this inning(& that would be good), we'll find out. If he dont and is schedl up next inn, Id run him back out there to start the inning.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:28 PM

Mike Jacobs - first player in major league history to hit 4 HRs within four days of his major league debut.

DocTee Aug 25 2005 11:30 PM

]Mike Jacobs - first player in major league history to hit 4 HRs within four days of his major league debut. Wow-- either he's Lou Gehrig or Kevin Maas (sorry for the MFY allusions).

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:34 PM

Pedro being pinch-hit for.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:35 PM

crap. I bet they walked Castro just to get Pedro outta there. Hope Anderson can put some icing on the cake.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:36 PM

7th inning stretch...

metirish Aug 25 2005 11:36 PM

Pedro pulled, he did all he could, I love him, I have a friend in Boston that misses Petey so much he got the baseball package just so he could watch Pedro, likes the mets even more now.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:40 PM

Heilman in, Roberto Hernandez throwing in the pen (it feels like ages since we've seen Berto).

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:40 PM

metirish wrote: Pedro pulled, he did all he could, I love him, I have a friend in Boston that misses Petey so much he got the baseball package just so he could watch Pedro, likes the mets even more now. He is something special, that guy. I knew he was a great pitcher, but seeing him up close on a regular basis..... and to see what he brings to the bench and clubhouse. To the younger pitchers and players. The guys amazing.

GYC Aug 25 2005 11:41 PM

Earlier in the year, the whole team sucked when Pedro wasn't pitching. Now it's the exact opposite.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:41 PM

And Diaz shows why I can't stand him yet again...

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:43 PM

TRIPLE!? cumon Heilman. Focus. Dont waste this decision for DaAce.

metirish Aug 25 2005 11:43 PM

And things are falling to shit yet again, one of those nights?

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:43 PM

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? Heilman hits McCracken on 0-2.

SI Metman Aug 25 2005 11:44 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 25 2005 11:45 PM

Yeah, the Mets should put Heilman in the rotation so he can do this crap at the start of the game and not the end of the game.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:44 PM

GYC wrote: Earlier in the year, the whole team sucked when Pedro wasn't pitching. Now it's the exact opposite. well, they dont seem as up 4 it. Maybe they think thats the one day they can relax and count on him. I dunno.

Nymr83 Aug 25 2005 11:46 PM

this team plays like shit every time there is even a hint of a win streak in them.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:46 PM

I wanna see Heath Bell come in for the 8th.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:47 PM

holy crapoli. Well, the force is in order. Hernandez in. Ill trade a run for 3 quick outs

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:49 PM

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Wright made the Wright decision.

GYC Aug 25 2005 11:49 PM

Nice double play. We needed that. Looks like the D-Backs went to the Willie Randolph School of Baserunning, too.

Frayed Knot Aug 25 2005 11:50 PM

Wright's gamble paid off.

metirish Aug 25 2005 11:50 PM

Fucking WOW, probably not the best decision by Wright but the DP those the trick..what a game.

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:51 PM

HAHAHAHA...yesssssssssss. I dont know what happened to the guy on 3rd, cuz im reading the game on CBS, but I know what a line out DP is and they dont score. LOL,Yeaaaaaaaaaaa

Johnny Dickshot Aug 25 2005 11:52 PM

I don't know if Wright made a good decision at all there. Good result, at least. And I'm not sure going to Heilman again after a 2-inning stint last night was a great idea either. 2 more white-knuckle innings, coming up, unless we start raking NOW!!!!

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:54 PM

Kelly Stinnett reminds me of an old grizzly bear... Don't you agree?

Zvon Aug 25 2005 11:55 PM

now this is the inning beltran should pop one. Keep things on the upside.

metirish Aug 25 2005 11:56 PM

Beltran again, fuck man do something.

Valadius Aug 25 2005 11:57 PM

Berto back on the hill, he'd only thrown 6 pitches so that's good.

Why does Rick Peterson always have his jacket on, even when it's 100 degrees out?

Valadius Aug 26 2005 12:13 AM

Thank God!!!!!!!!!! Let's get some bloody insurance runs.

Zvon Aug 26 2005 12:14 AM

whewwwwwww that was too much. Wild pitch and all. But we got thru it. Now, some insurance would be nice. Looper will have to do his job. He better. We cant waste this game.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 26 2005 12:16 AM

Wow. I was kinda glad Tracy's drive snuck over the fence rather than pinballed around Diaz. Somehow the idea of Gonzo-Clark-Glaus-Green with a runner on and 2-run cushion is scarier than bases empty, 1-run. We're going to have a bullpen problem this weekend. You got Trax making a season debut, with Heilman coming off consecutive ineffective outings, a HUGE 2-inning struggling effort by Bert and Loopy, presumably, in the 9th tonight. No sight of Bell or Padilla -- they're your middle inning guys tommorrow.

Zvon Aug 26 2005 12:17 AM

Valadius wrote: Why does Rick Peterson always have his jacket on, even when it's 100 degrees out? Maybe he lines it with opposing batters stats and pitching matchups.

3-1 Mets heading into Looper Time.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 26 2005 12:32 AM

This Medders fella is by far the best DBagg of this entire series. Clayton, PHer, Cintron for Loopy in the 9th.

Zvon Aug 26 2005 12:32 AM

okay, I know this wont be easy to sit for, but Looper for 3 and out. He must not fail us here.

Valadius Aug 26 2005 12:33 AM

Popsicle in RF.

Valadius Aug 26 2005 12:38 AM

Jacobs adapting to the situation, getting the 2nd out.

YEEHAAAAAAAAAAA now thats how a winning team has to play the game. Everyone does their job! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. We need games like this more than the blowouts.

Zvon Aug 26 2005 12:44 AM

good game Metronites!

Beenso Aug 26 2005 12:48 AM

so happy...missed most of the game, but made it in time for the last 3 or 4............they are playing some great ball.

Valadius Aug 26 2005 12:52 AM

8-2 in last 10 games.

Zvon Aug 26 2005 01:08 AM

Houston and The Phils were idle. Marlins won. I do belive we pass the Nats in the divisional standings. Heres to more good and clutch baseball from the Mets

Last time we spoke up about an annoying signature line, we scared somebody away and we all got lectured. But, as I said before, I'd like to avoid the "slippery slope." So many other forums are blighted by busy signatures and giant avatars. I liked how ezBoard kept the avatars small. I'd like to figure out a way to do that here. And I think we should have a policy that all sig lines should be text only.
