IGT 09/24, Cubsos at Metsos

AG/DC Sep 24 2008 03:05 PM

Press Notes from DC: This day in 1969, Donn Clendenon hit two in support of a Gary Gentry shutout of the Cardinals, and the Mets clinched the brand new National League East over... the Cubs! Zambrano vs. Perez tonight, kids. Come up big, Oliver. Mets have three of the top five RBI-ers in the National League. Jerry Manuel is now winning at .602 as a Met manager. I'll take that to my last day. Carlos Zambrano has been ridiculous this year, hitting .354 / .354 / .582 // .936. He nonetheless has yet to be started above the nine-hole in the lineup. David Wright is still my friend.

Frayed Knot Sep 24 2008 04:05 PM

Ollie Perez vs Carlos Zambrano Zambrano's last 7 starts have been all over the map. Among them: - 2 losses where he was blown out early, including his last one where the Cards knocked him around for 8 runs on 6 hits + 3 BBs in 1-1/3 IP - 3 NDs where he was not good at all: 3 runs over 5 IP; 6 runs over 4.1; 5 runs over 6 - 1 good start that he won: 1 run thru 7 vs Cincy - oh yeah, plus a 10-K no-hitter against the Astros We lost to him in April: 1 run thru 7 IP on 5 hits

Press Notes from the loge boxes at Shea: Well, this is it - my last trip to Shea. No way I make it out of here without tearing up at least three or four more times. Watched BP from right over the dugout, then walked all the way up to Row V in section 46. Apparently, they've already removed the trophies and Mets HOF busts. WTF? Very emotional night for me. Huge thanks to my friend Ben The Yankee Fan for scoring the WPIX loge box tickets for tonight.

Elster88 Sep 24 2008 05:00 PM

AHHHH LET'S GET IT ON LET'S

Mets!!!

seawolf17 Sep 24 2008 05:33 PM

What's with all the Cubs fans here tonight? And hey, d-bag with the Rollins shirt behind home plate... shut the hell up.

Zvon Sep 24 2008 06:09 PM

Come on Mr Wright, your big.

Zvon Sep 24 2008 06:09 PM

YEA! Ties it with the juiced walk.

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 06:11 PM

He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Zvon Sep 24 2008 06:12 PM

Zambrano is a case.

Zvon Sep 24 2008 06:13 PM

themetfairy Sep 24 2008 06:14 PM

Vamos Carlos! I wonder whether one of the Crane Poolers in the Picnic Area caught that ball :)

Nymr83 Sep 24 2008 06:14 PM

GRAND SLAM DELGADO!!! Reyes was definitely in Zambrano's head there, walking down the line

metirish Sep 24 2008 06:14 PM

Those two at bats by Wright and Delgado were two of the best I have seen in a long long time....they had everything...

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 06:15 PM

Kaboom!!!!

Elster88 Sep 24 2008 06:21 PM

Delgado starting to change my mind.

Nymr83 Sep 24 2008 06:30 PM

Well the Mets have been the opposite of their usual "leave men on base" ways tonight, they have 5 runs on only 2 hits. Walks Kill.

Elster88 Sep 24 2008 06:40 PM

Perez looking awful right now. All over the place.

Nymr83 Sep 24 2008 06:40 PM

PULL HIM NOW

Nymr83 Sep 24 2008 06:42 PM

Murphy bobbles the ball allowing the tying run to score, he was being held up at 3rd for sure.

Zvon Sep 24 2008 06:57 PM

Pirates have a 1-0 lead on the Brews

"Is Maine available tonight?" He's eligible to be used. Not sure if they'll do so.

Rincon comes on and gets the big out with 2 on. lets score!

metsguyinmichigan Sep 24 2008 07:24 PM

Just getting here. With Braves dealing on the Punks, we can do this! Let's go Mets!!!

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 07:34 PM

Beltran taking matters into his own hands steals second while Church strikes out. Now Evans strikes out hitting for Schneider. Beltran might need to steal home if he hopes to score.

HahnSolo Sep 24 2008 07:37 PM

I guess Castro is coming in? Then why not let him hit for Schneid?

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 07:38 PM

AReyes strikes out. 3 successive strike outs strand Beltran. That is pathetic.

metirish Sep 24 2008 07:38 PM

Looks to me like A Reyes flinched as he got called out because he " went around" .

HahnSolo Sep 24 2008 07:40 PM

Here we go with the leadoff single.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 24 2008 07:43 PM

Rats. I thought Church had that for a second.

HAVE TO answer right back.

AG/DC Sep 24 2008 07:49 PM

Just checking in. Will get it back. Neither team is likely done scoring. Viva Ramon Martinez.

HahnSolo Sep 24 2008 07:50 PM

I am utterly confused by this double switch.

apmorris Sep 24 2008 07:50 PM

after much thought I've come to the conclusion that wright should've had that.

bmfc1 Sep 24 2008 07:50 PM

Anybody predict that double?

But it worked.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 24 2008 07:51 PM

YES!

AG/DC Sep 24 2008 07:51 PM

Martinez' best game of the year so far.

Frayed Knot Sep 24 2008 07:51 PM

Should have started HIM at 2nd base tonight.

That's looza talk. Delgado found a hole on hole-less right side. Wow, an "are you kidding me?" from Gary.

Not sure that Delgado scoring was as cut-n-dried as Gary is making it out to be but ...

The two Carlos's set the table. Runners at the corners with no outs. Now someone has to bring them home.

You HAVE TO stay out of the DP now. Beltan has to run and do so soon.

And they wisely walk Endy to face Ramon Martinez.

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 08:18 PM

Beltran with his third steal of the night. A hit could score two. Blastro grounds out for the second out.

bmfc1 Sep 24 2008 08:18 PM

The game, and potentially the season, is on the shoulders of Ramon Martinez. We never heard of him three weeks ago.

OK bullpen, you can make up for a lot with a big inning here.

On ESPN, Sutcliffe is explaining that the Mets should have known every pitcher that the Chicago pitcher was throwing because of the way the catcher was setting up and that if the Mets couldn't figure it out, "shame on them." Anything about this on SNY?

bmfc1 Sep 24 2008 08:35 PM

Elster88: If the catcher slid to one side or the other, it was a fastball. If he dropped down, it was a breaking ball.

These are the three guys I want up in this situation.

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 08:37 PM

I'm not a fan of Sutcliffe's announcing, but in this instance he was right. The Cubs catcher set up differently for a fastball than he did for a breaking ball every single pitch that inning. Jose could likely pick that up out of the corner of his eye or Beltran could likely signal in from second. Signal stealing is a part of baseball. We did it in high school and in college the coach had a system of signals for us to use.

TheOldMole Sep 24 2008 08:45 PM

Another walk.

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 08:46 PM

If Wright hadn't swung at ball four the Cubs would have had to pitch to Beltran. Now it falls to Church to get the run home.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 24 2008 08:46 PM

Church is SO due.

Church force out and now up to Castro. Boy Church is just lost up there now.

mario25 Sep 24 2008 08:49 PM

Cmon

Zvon Sep 24 2008 08:49 PM

Carp. Just a ball to the outfield was all we needed. Come on Castro!

I can't take this.

0-2 on Castro :(

I...can't....believe...that...just...happened.

Zvon Sep 24 2008 08:50 PM

SHIT CASTRO! Your a catcher, u shud know a ball from a strike. Shheeez

HahnSolo Sep 24 2008 08:51 PM

This is just horrendous. You only get so many opportunities. And this bullpen is only going to hold the Cubs down for so long. The game has been there for the taking. Grab it, Mets.

mario25 Sep 24 2008 08:52 PM

Castro swung at 2 balls, Wright swung at ball 4 sickening

6th crucial strike out swinging by the Mets in the last 3 innings. Oh what I would give for some contact and one or two of Scrapple8's beloved productive outs.

Frayed Knot Sep 24 2008 08:53 PM

7th inning: 1st & 3rd, 1 out = 0 runs 8th inning: 1st & 3rd, 1 out = 1 run 9th inning: Bases loaded, 1 out = 0 runs Division titles can turn on stuff like that.

Two from Ayala? I guess you got to.

Ramon Martinez has been a great player ever since he's been a Met.

Martinez earning his keep.

Some contact would be most helpful. You have to force the defense to make some plays.

It was all there--a g.d., motherf'in flyball by Wright or Church, and we're dancing off to sleep, dreaming of being tied for first by this time tomorrow. The Cubs said "here, take it" and they couldn't. Wright froze and everybody else did NOTHING. We may be seeing this game in our minds all winter.

mario25 Sep 24 2008 09:08 PM

2008 Mets slogam A committment to excrement

It's like Rickey Schroeder is pitching against us.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 24 2008 09:11 PM

We had a leadoff triple...... I just can't get over that.

mario25 Sep 24 2008 09:11 PM

David Wright's shitty Ab in the 9th was a killer

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 09:11 PM

Knot - "7th inning was the line-out DP inning actually, but I get your point." Your're correct. It was the 6th inning that Church, Evans, and AReyes all struck out swinging while Beltran was busy stealing second and third and hoping someone would hit the ball. Damn, this is very painful to watch. So many great opportunities they have just let slip away tonight. Mario25 - "crap hit...off the end of the bat" Good job of hitting, just putting a good pitch in play with 2 strikes. If only the Mets had done that just once in their numerous opportunities, rather than flailing away (often at pitches out of the strike zone), we would all be celebrating a great night by now.

Zvon Sep 24 2008 09:13 PM

mario25 Sep 24 2008 09:14 PM

Scary players coming off the bench too.chavez, Evans and Castillo..opposing managers have to laugh...dont forget Marlon Anderson too

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 09:16 PM

Too many squandered scoring opportunities tonight. It's a war from here on out for the Wildcard. I believe they pretty much sealed their fate tonight regarding the divisional crown.

Leadoff Triple....How dont we score there I am sick to my stomach

mario25 Sep 24 2008 09:22 PM

I feel for myself and all of the diehard Mets fans on this site that go through this BS.......It can never be easy. Even in 86 we had to win on a freakin fluke and the Mets were dominant that year. I know how you guys feel

Zvon Sep 24 2008 09:25 PM

Gwreck Sep 24 2008 10:08 PM

Wow. I counted 3 moments of elated celebration, 3 stomach punches, and two kicks to the groin. I think. I was pleased to see the stadium mostly filled but the crowd was poor overall, especially when the Mets needed them most (and I don't just mean the bottom of the 10th). Both the most exciting game and biggest surprise loss since '06.

KC Sep 25 2008 10:29 AM

I've been trying not to think about the last four innings of this game. Of course someone had to just bring it up at my doorway ... freakin' Yanks fan, of course. I asked her if she was jumpin' on the Cubbie band wagon this year's playoffs and she said ya gotta. 100 years bbbyyy. I've never witnessed anything like that in any sports playoff type game. It's just mind boggling I can't even think of anything to say.

soupcan Sep 25 2008 10:48 AM

It's been said a million times already - it's a cockpunch loss and this season has been chock full of them. That should be the theme to the 2008 highlight video - The New York Mets 2008 Season - Chock Full O' Cockpunches!
