You and Rotblatt fight this out among yourselves
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 12:51 PM |
Beat me to it, Elster!
|
Bret Sabermetric Sep 01 2005 12:52 PM |
Hey, where'd Rotblatt's IGT go? That was like a one-punch knockout.
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 12:57 PM |

Sadly, I don't think Jacobs is going to play catcher, I'm pretty sure DiFelice will get a start on every one of Castro's off-days. Minky's back?!? _____________________________ This post was made under the posting designation 167) Braden Looper

Well, Bret, posters these days no longer have any heart-gumption-fire-sticktoitiveness. Not like in the good old days, when guys like Sal, Norrin & Wide roamed the hallowed halls of CPF, getting into fights at the drop of a hat and setting New York cyberspace abuzz with their firey invective and drunken abuse.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:00 PM |

I thought they activated him today, but I just checked, and they're activating him tomorrow instead. So I take back the part about starting Jacobs as catcher. I'd still rather see Castro in there, though . . .
|
Edgy DC Sep 01 2005 01:07 PM |
Not sure I wouldn't want to try Jacobs at catcher and Offerdude at first.
|
OlerudOwned Sep 01 2005 01:16 PM |
2 outs, 2nd and 3rd for Chase Bleeping Utely.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:20 PM |
Walks Utley and Bell down 0-2 with the bases loaded and 2 out.
|
OlerudOwned Sep 01 2005 01:20 PM |
|
FUCK!
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 01:21 PM |
2-0. I feel like crying.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:21 PM |

Base hit brings in two.
Early returns say no.

Get 'em back boys, this Lieber guy has got nothing!
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:25 PM |
Glavine strikes out Howard.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:26 PM |
And fucking Matsui flies out on the first pitch he sees.
|
Frayed Knot Sep 01 2005 01:27 PM |
Bottom 1:
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 01:28 PM |
A ten pitch inning for Lieber.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:29 PM |
Damnit, Gary!

MFS62 Sep 01 2005 01:32 PM |
I'm having a bad feeling about this one already.
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 01:35 PM |
A 1-2-3 second for Glavine.
|
Willets Point Sep 01 2005 01:36 PM |
Now the Mets need to get 1-2-3-4 men on base.

Elster88 Sep 01 2005 01:37 PM |
Cliff becomes 1.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:37 PM |
Base hit for Cliff into center!
|
Edgy DC Sep 01 2005 01:38 PM |
My mother always feared that I'd become one.
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 01:40 PM |
D-Wright strikes out as Cliff steals second.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:40 PM |
On 3-2, Wright strikes out on a slider out of the zone as Cliff steals second.
|
Willets Point Sep 01 2005 01:42 PM |
Echo, echo,echo,echo...
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:42 PM |
On 3-2, Jacobs pops up to Rollins.
|
Frayed Knot Sep 01 2005 01:43 PM |
Bottom 2:
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:44 PM |
Diaz grounds out, but apparently in a manner that was exciting for Gary.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:48 PM |
Diaz gets a late break on a Michaels fly ball but recovers to make a nice catch.
|
Willets Point Sep 01 2005 01:49 PM |
Glavine wants no part of Met-Killer Burrell.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:51 PM |
Utley flies out to Beltran to retire the side. 56 pitches through 3 for Glavine.
|
Willets Point Sep 01 2005 01:54 PM |
Nice strike out on 3 pitches, DeFelice.
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 01:54 PM |
Does anyone think that DiFelice could possibly get a hit?
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:55 PM |
Not really. I think Glavine has a better chance.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:56 PM |
First pitch swinging AGAIN, Reyes hits it to Michaels, who boots the ball. Reyes with a single, to second on an error.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 01:58 PM |
In a huge spot, Matsui takes 3 pitches for balls, then a strike, then pops it up to the infield.
|
seawolf17 Sep 01 2005 01:59 PM |
Remember that time our second baseman drove in a run? Ah, the good old days.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:02 PM |
Lieber's a model of efficiency. 36 pitches through 3 innings. At this rate, he won't hit 100 pitches until 1 out into the ninth.
|
MFS62 Sep 01 2005 02:02 PM |
|
I think it was Wally Backman, batting right handed, in a day game againstthe Expos in Jarry Park (Maybe Olympic Stadium). He pulled the ball down the left field line for a double. Later

A 1-2-3 fourth for Glavine.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:05 PM |
Glavine with his second 1-2-3 inning. 72 pitches over 4.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:11 PM |
It's like we're not even trying.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:12 PM |
Wright with a chopper past Rollins. Two-out single.
|
seawolf17 Sep 01 2005 02:13 PM |
I hate games like this. Before you know it, it's the eighth inning and they have four meaningless singles.
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 02:14 PM |
Is anyone watching TV? Are the players looking subdued?
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:16 PM |
Jacobs grounds out to end the inning.
|
Valadius Sep 01 2005 02:21 PM |
I've been in class the whole game. Somebody brief me, please.
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 02:22 PM |
Michaels grounds out on the 12th pitch of the at-bat.
|
seawolf17 Sep 01 2005 02:23 PM |
Valadius, that's what we have IGTs for!
|
KC Sep 01 2005 02:25 PM |
>>>Is anyone watching TV? Are the players looking subdued?<<<
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:26 PM |
Matsui makes a nice play after a 12-pitch at bat by Michaels to hand Glavine his 3rd 1-2-3 inning. He's at 91 pitches now.
|
Frayed Knot Sep 01 2005 02:28 PM |
|
Nah, Backman never got a righthanded hit.
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 02:28 PM |
To be fair, Glavine has pitched pretty well. The problem is that four of the five baserunners he allowed reached in the first.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:29 PM |
Diaz & DeFelice down on strikeouts.
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 02:29 PM |
A better turn at bat for DiFelice. Took eight pitches to strike out this time. He's 1-16 on the year.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:32 PM |
Ho-hum. Lieber is at 71 pitches through 5 innings.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:35 PM |
Abreu with a single. Burrell with a deep drive to left, caught by Floyd on the warning track.
|
MFS62 Sep 01 2005 02:35 PM |
|
That's what made it so memorable. I was driving the my car and listened to Murph's call. He sounded amazed, too. Later
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:37 PM |
DeFelice lives up to his catch-and-throw reputation by throwing out Abreu at second.
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 02:39 PM |
Utley Ks. Time for some hits, fellas. Top of the order.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:41 PM |
Whaddya think--does Glavine come out for the seventh?
|
KC Sep 01 2005 02:41 PM |
Reyes with another triple to start things off!!
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:41 PM |
Reyes with a triple!!!
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:43 PM |
Matsui gets the job done by grounding out to second.
|
Edgy DC Sep 01 2005 02:43 PM |
Hey, our secondbaseman drove in a run!
|
KC Sep 01 2005 02:44 PM |
Matsui pads his rbi stats. Beltran, Floyd, yuck. 2-1.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:44 PM |
Then Beltran with a shallow fly. 2 down.
|
KC Sep 01 2005 02:45 PM |
I better slow down posting results, I might ruin something for ya'll later in the game.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:45 PM |
First-pitch swinging AGAIN, Floyd pops it up.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:50 PM |
Diaz with another exciting near-miss for out 2.
|
seawolf17 Sep 01 2005 02:50 PM |
Nah, Edgy, you have to be more sarcastic about it:
|
seawolf17 Sep 01 2005 02:51 PM |
BTW, Glavine vested his option today. So that's that.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:52 PM |
Manuel barking as he heads back to the dugout, and he gets thrown out by home plate ump Young.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:53 PM |
Huh. Apparently, Manuel wasn't the one ejected. Must have been someone else--hopefully Abreu or Burrell. Or Lieber.
|
KC Sep 01 2005 02:53 PM |
Manuel still in the dugout, someone on the bench got tossed.
|
KC Sep 01 2005 02:55 PM |
Glavine get through the seventh, has thrown over a 125 pitches. 2-1 and they
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 02:56 PM |
Glavine walks Pratt, then strikes out Lieber to end the half inning.
|
Centerfield Sep 01 2005 02:56 PM |
Come on guys. This is a big inning in a big game. Come up big fellas!
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:02 PM |
Wright grounds out.
|
Centerfield Sep 01 2005 03:03 PM |
Didn't take pitchers long to figure out Jacobs.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:03 PM |
Jacobs down on 3 pitches. Gary & Howie think major league pitchers have him figured out.
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 03:06 PM |
Glavine did his job. 127 pitches, 7 innings, 2 runs, 3 hits, 4 walks.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:06 PM |
And Diaz goes down swinging.
|
KC Sep 01 2005 03:06 PM |
I think it's time to go out and get some sun, maybe kick a few things.
|
willpie Sep 01 2005 03:08 PM |
Can't see it (at work), but this does not look so good. Sigh.
|
seawolf17 Sep 01 2005 03:11 PM |
According to Sportsline, the toss victim was bench coach Milt Thompson.

this must be a typo. should read:
Unite and assemble If hernandez does his dooty we only need a bloop and a bam and we are back in it. (so far he's not tho. 1st and 2nd and Burrell)
|
Elster88 Sep 01 2005 03:14 PM |
Pat the bat refuses to swing, and strikes out after watching five pitches. Two out.
|
Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:16 PM |
saw a replay of the Reyes triple.
|
Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:17 PM |
|
and then is shakin his head while walkin back to the dugout. HA---what an asshole. It was a fastball thru the heart of the plate
|
Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:19 PM |
damn. They run Urbina out there again.
|
willpie Sep 01 2005 03:21 PM |
Why is Cairo hitting for Hernandez? Did Woodward die?
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:22 PM |
Anderson strikes out looking.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:26 PM |
Fuck you, Gary.

Wagner looming. I'm lonely and depressed.
|
Willets Point Sep 01 2005 03:28 PM |
Looper.
|
Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:28 PM |
|
no one hit anything deep that inning. The Reyes fly out was high, and in the sun, but not relatively deep. Micheals(CF) was playin him rather shallow, and did have to go back.
|
Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:30 PM |
|
the faster he hurls it the further we'll hit it *Z hits his knees & starts to pray* Nice catch by Hobbs on that liner

Centerfield Sep 01 2005 03:31 PM |

We clearly don't want to win.

Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:35 PM |
Well, at least we played ONE meaningful game in September.
|
Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:38 PM |
I dont even understand why Loop started this inning.
|
metirish Sep 01 2005 03:38 PM |
Fran can stop plugging those "Pennant Race Pack" tickets, this was a tough series.
|
Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:40 PM |
|
he certainly has been, Ollie. Get it started Kaz
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:40 PM |
Well, Looper got out of the inning.
|
Frayed Knot Sep 01 2005 03:41 PM |
Once you get to the 9th inning at home there's no longer going to be a save situation. So, unless you're under the impression that one of these call-ups is less likely than our supposed best reliever to give up a run, then you're decreasing the odds of coming back by bringing in someone other than Looper.
|
Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:42 PM |
a walk to start.
|
willpie Sep 01 2005 03:44 PM |
Wagner's stuff is kinda filthy, isn't it?
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:45 PM |
Beltran strikes out on a "high, hard one."
|
Frayed Knot Sep 01 2005 03:45 PM |
"What I don't get is replacing DeFelice with Castro. Why take a bat off the bench?"
|
willpie Sep 01 2005 03:45 PM |
Just as I was about to wonder aloud why Matsui wasn't stealing, Floyd grounds into a fielder's choice. Bleh.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:45 PM |
Hah! Sorry about that, Frayed. In my crabbiness, I forgot about the pinch hitting.
|
willpie Sep 01 2005 03:47 PM |

|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:47 PM |
So much the MVP. Wright strikes out looking.
|
seawolf17 Sep 01 2005 03:48 PM |
I've never been so pissed about being only 2.5 games out of a playoff spot.
|
Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:49 PM |
|
understood. I would have shown the Phils someone they hadnt seen yet in that spot. Damn, Wright was pissed about that strike, and maybe wrightly so. Rarely see him like that. Well, what started on a grand note has turned to sour grapes, and the Mets go from 1/2 out to 21/2 out of the wild card. This was the series that could have put the Mets in the catbird seat, but the Phils play Sylvester to our Tweety
|
Johnny Dickshot Sep 01 2005 03:49 PM |
Ironical we lose the rubber game on the one day we weren't badly outpitched.
|
Rotblatt Sep 01 2005 03:49 PM |
I think now is when I'd like to see Willie really lay into his players and upend a few tables.
|
Centerfield Sep 01 2005 03:51 PM |
Damn. That sucked.
|
Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:51 PM |

it really was. Even more than usual. i dont know if it was seeing him in the daylight or what. But seeing him at all, as I have said, is never a good thing
|
MFS62 Sep 01 2005 03:54 PM |
LAst night, the Mets announcers were wondering how well Wagner would do if he had to be used today, because he threw a lot of pitches last night.

Zvon Sep 01 2005 03:56 PM |
I guess Ill have to wait to see the blotched DP by Galvine on Baseball 2nite later.
