2000th hit for Delgado is an RBI double to give us a 1-0 lead.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 11:49 AM

Could break it open in the 1st as this rook pitcher is wavering.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 11:51 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 21 2008 11:52 AM

I can't believe Castillo took either of those pitches!! (ball 3 or ball 4)

Zvon Sep 21 2008 11:51 AM

Take til they call a strike. 2-0 on a bases loaded walk.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 11:53 AM

Frayed Knot wrote: I can't believe Castillo took either of those pitches!! yea, esp that ball 4. That was >< close. Id rather see him take tho. And I don't say that about too many batters.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 12:08 PM

Hit by pitch scores a run. Bear down, Pelf!

TransMonk Sep 21 2008 12:08 PM

This looks like it could be a long game.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 12:08 PM

Whats that home plate umps problem? Why did he go out to the mound so fast during that meeting? Shit. Pelfrey hits Infante with the bases loaded. Followed by a BIG DP! YAY!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 21 2008 12:18 PM

BIG HR for Wright there. yay

Zvon Sep 21 2008 12:19 PM

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 12:19 PM

KABOOM D-WRIGHT!!!!

themetfairy Sep 21 2008 12:20 PM

I love that boy :) (And I love Zvon's image!)

Zvon Sep 21 2008 12:22 PM

Delgado is wikkedhawt. If you told me in June he'd have 108 RBI in Sept I would have escorted you off this planet.

seawolf17 Sep 21 2008 12:23 PM

[arod]You know, Wright only hit that home run because there was nobody in scoring position. If they'd moved Pelfrey to second, he would have popped up weakly to third.[/arod]

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 12:24 PM

Wright sez: Slump THIS! Gary's not slumping in his quips today. He mentioned the Atlanta pitcher being sub-Parr today and that Delgado's hit #2001 means that his 'Odyssey' continues

Gwreck Sep 21 2008 12:27 PM

Wayne is noting on the radio broadcast that Pelfrey looks very much "not sharp" today. Suspects possibly that he's got a cold/allergies.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 12:27 PM

Delgado has another decent year next year and ends up with 500+ homers and 2100+ hits, they're going to have to consider him for Cooperstown. And he can wear a Mets cap on his plaque! Yes!

Gwreck Sep 21 2008 12:29 PM

Well, there was Toronto, too.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 21 2008 12:29 PM

Grrrr. Get the batters out, Mike

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 12:32 PM

Gwreck wrote: Well, there was Toronto, too. Yeah, I was just being optimistic. I'm make Rickey Henderson, Tom Glavine and Pedro all wear Mets caps, too! Which is why I'm not in charge of such things.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 12:34 PM

DP saves us again. But the offense seems to be rolling today, and we'll be up against the Braves pen the whole rest of the way.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 12:35 PM

Another nice DP. For those not watching Pelf sets a record for...what do u call it?... pitching into DPs in a season for the Mets.

SteveJRogers Sep 21 2008 12:37 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 21 2008 12:52 PM

Double Plays Induced I'm going to guess? OE: Hey, I'm a good fit! <---

I hat Prado.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 12:48 PM

What's with Spanish guys named Vladimir? -- Nunez, Guerrero I wonder to balance things out if there are a bunch of Russians named Jose?

Zvon Sep 21 2008 12:49 PM

There is no doubt that pelf does not look sharp. He dodges 2 bullets in the 3rd and Prado is left 90 feet from the plate (and I don't mean 1st base).

seawolf17 Sep 21 2008 12:50 PM

Classic shot of Gary snoozing in the booth!

Zvon Sep 21 2008 12:53 PM

Stop swinging at carp J Reyes.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 01:05 PM

Pelf keeps wiggling out of jams.

seawolf17 Sep 21 2008 01:14 PM

Hey! I'm Mike Piazza! Cool! /hits long home run to right field

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 01:17 PM

Need a nice settle-down inning here from Pelfrey. Be nice if he could go this inning and at least one more.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 01:19 PM

Kinda like that.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 01:19 PM

Frayed Knot wrote: Need a nice settle-down inning here from Pelfrey. Be nice if he could go this inning and at least one more. seriously. If we could get 7 and hold this lead I'll be very happy with what Pelf has given us. And he does have that nice 5th.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 01:20 PM

Anybody want to start a Vet's HoF thread has my permission.

seawolf17 Sep 21 2008 01:21 PM

Good idea. I'll split those out.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 01:24 PM

Do we pull Pelf for a pinch-hitter here?

SteveJRogers Sep 21 2008 01:24 PM

..

Zvon Sep 21 2008 01:27 PM

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 01:28 PM

Keep him in to bunt?

seawolf17 Sep 21 2008 01:28 PM

Jeez. Bill Hahn's moustache makes him look like he's in Witness Protection. Or the Village People.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 01:30 PM

Damn. We needed him to get that bunt down. bad Pelf, bad.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 01:31 PM

Pelf is not a good bunter. But better that than hit a weak grounder into a DP.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 01:31 PM

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 01:32 PM

Horrible. A guy walks the first two batters, and Reyes and Murph are up there swinging at the first pitch to make outs.

Heres a color corrected Mookie Edge if you shud look in.

I knew my av would change just at that post,lol.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 01:36 PM

I wanna say Pelf has settled down but I don't wanna jinx him so I wont type and post this. *CLICK* DOH!

KC Sep 21 2008 01:43 PM

HEY BELTRAN SWING THE FARGIN BAT!

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 01:43 PM

Same set-up as last inning. Let's make 'em pay this time. Brewers are beating up the Reds.

TheOldMole Sep 21 2008 01:44 PM

We know we'll need the runs.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 01:44 PM

Wasted at bat by Beltran. Shame on u Carlos

Zvon Sep 21 2008 01:46 PM

UGH

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 21 2008 01:47 PM

Ummm, the Mets suck.

KC Sep 21 2008 01:47 PM

That was one of those loser innings. Beltran and Church playing like losers.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 01:49 PM

Terrible. We need to feast on the Braves' sucky bully. Now we need our sometimes sucky bully to stand tough. I stand corrected. Pelf back out there for the seventh.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 01:54 PM

Or not. Here comes Stokes.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 01:55 PM

But he don't last. oh well.. Stokes for the hold.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 01:59 PM

I fear those last two innings are gonna cost us.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 02:01 PM

The Braves apparently know how to sacrifice.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 02:02 PM

I hat Prado, but he may have helped us there swingin at that high pitch. Still gets the sac fly tho.

seawolf17 Sep 21 2008 02:02 PM

You know? I was about to ask if the Mets led the league in pitching changes. Thanks for the info, Gary. Not only does he lurk here, he apparently also lurks in my mind.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 02:04 PM

MORE RUNS! OFFENSE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD UNITE AND ASSEMBLE!

KC Sep 21 2008 02:07 PM

sw17: Thanks for the info, Gary<<< What did he say? I was flippin' between Mets and the football Giants.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 02:09 PM

"the Mets scored all their runs in the first two innings" A recording of Gary/Howie/Wayne saying that is going to be track one on the 2008 soundtrack album.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 02:13 PM

Is that Marlon Anderson's first hit this month? Reyes, again, showing no patience.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 02:15 PM

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 02:22 PM

Son of a bitch! Freaking Schoenweis is TERRIBLE>

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 02:24 PM

The key to this game might have been Pelfrey's inability to drop a bunt with none out and two on.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 02:24 PM

I hope someone explains to Pelfrey that the reson he didn't get a win today is that he couldn't get down a bunt.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 02:26 PM

That string bean Lillybridge steals second Carp on a carpcycle.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 02:27 PM

And Francoeur triples him in. Shit on a shitstick.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 02:27 PM

DAMMIT! They ALL suck.

metirish Sep 21 2008 02:28 PM

Zvon Sep 21 2008 02:28 PM

All the Sunday games that I get to watch seem to go like this anymore.

HahnSolo Sep 21 2008 02:29 PM

We're about to go 1-8 at Turner Field. The Phils? 9-0.

TransMonk Sep 21 2008 02:29 PM

MLB.TV stayed with the SNY feed a little too long during the pitching change. Keith: "Jerry's treating his bullpen like they're the last kids picked in dodgeball."

bmfc1 Sep 21 2008 02:31 PM

The mlb.tv feed didn't go away after Gary threw it to the commercial. Ronnie said "Jerry treats this bullpen like they're the last kids picked in dodgeball." I'm not sure what that means. Previous commercial break, Ronnie said, "I know they're trying, but...."

bmfc1 Sep 21 2008 02:42 PM

And with that, we return to the bullpen sucks days of... last Sunday. Two Sundays in a row, the bullpen has taken victory and literally thrown it away. They tried on Wednesday but couldn't cough up a 8-1 lead, pitched fine for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but couldn't do their jobs today. None of them.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 02:43 PM

Thank you Mr Murphy for ending that horrible inning. Nice catch.

Willets Point Sep 21 2008 02:43 PM

Oh man, reruns again?!? They showed this game last Sunday.

Zvon Sep 21 2008 02:45 PM

This Braves relief pitcher makes me seasick.

bmfc1 Sep 21 2008 02:46 PM

I'm off to my son's game. For the 2d Sunday in a row, he's going to look at me from the dugout and I'll have to tell him the score via a thumbs down. Ugh.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 02:50 PM

Unfortunately the Braves understand the value of tack-on runs

Zvon Sep 21 2008 02:52 PM

Utley puts the Phils on the board w/a 2 run blast in the 3rd.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 21 2008 02:57 PM

We can only hope that the Cubs are still hungover from their clinching and start their second and third strings.

KC Sep 21 2008 02:57 PM

Oh well, our cookie crumbles a little more. I'm not sure I want to go through playoff games with the way this team plays sometimes this year. Gonzalez a punk or just a whackjob?

Met Hunter Sep 21 2008 03:45 PM

April 2009. Somebody gets drilled. Chipper. McCann, Frenchy. Someone. Because I can't stand Gonzalez and his rocking motion. Ronnie seemed like he wished he could deliver that message personally. Notice how he does without the rocking when a man is on base? Bang. Zoom.

Nothing surprising here , just disappointment is what I feel right now. I'm getting in the mind set of the Mets not making it so as to not be hugely disappointed.
