IGT, 09/07 - commence cheating! Mets at Braves

KC Sep 07 2005 06:39 PM

Matsui 2b Beltran cf Floyd lf Wright 3b Mientiewicz 1b Castro c Diaz rf Glavine p Furcal ss Giles 2b C Jones 3b A Jones cf Franco 1b Francoeur rf Estrada c Langerhans lf Hudson p

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 07:07 PM

Kc, the Braves have been kicking our ass when we field a full nine man starting unit. I don't think we should play them without a shortstop tonight.

Zvon Sep 07 2005 07:17 PM

and the guy not in thie line up singles and steals second. :lol:

Zvon Sep 07 2005 07:20 PM

now Beltran bunts. Okay, im not gonna bitch about it. He aint hittin. Floyd grounds out and the Mets draw 1st blood. 1-0

Zvon Sep 07 2005 07:30 PM

Wright singles in another. 2-0 in the 1st. nice start

Zvon Sep 07 2005 08:04 PM

when i see Galvine have a smooth 1st inning, i figure we are gonna see a smooth pitching performance for the night. He did let francouer get to him with the double, but no further. And francouer has been hitting everybody. Glavine looks very good.(reads very good, i should say) Throw those vs. Braves stats out the window. (If i jinx him with that, I ban myself for the next 3 days)

cooby Sep 07 2005 08:38 PM

And Cliffie gets a hit! The cheater!

Zvon Sep 07 2005 08:42 PM

you skipped the part where furcal scored, but thats kool. I must tho,.... Braves playin small ball too, single, sac, single and its 2-1 Mets. Mets strand Floyd. The Mets really should give Glav some run support.... (lol, the way i say that it sounds like they are chosing not too)

cooby Sep 07 2005 08:43 PM

Zvon wrote: you skipped the part where furcal scored, but thats kool. Well that's true. He cheated too!

Cliff hustle keeps it to a single. (its the 7th inning and i just found out now the games on ESPN2 here---DUH!)

YEAH letting Hudson hit. Big fan of that move.

Zvon Sep 07 2005 09:07 PM

seawolf17 wrote: YEAH letting Hudson hit. Big fan of that move. lmao Tom gets out of that jam.... Glavine is gettin the calls. Pitchin his game. Up to 92 pitches, but i dont really think that matters much with a pitcher like Glav who dont throw heat. he can go nine, or at least get it to Looper (Id rather see him go 9 if there are no complications)

Zvon Sep 07 2005 09:08 PM

1 out single for beltran. An insurance run would be HUGE here.

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 09:10 PM

I'll take one more insurance run here... but I'd still like a complete game (loss) from Hud for fantasy league purposes.

Zvon Sep 07 2005 09:12 PM

seawolf17 wrote: I'll take one more insurance run here... but I'd still like a complete game (loss) from Hud for fantasy league purposes. isnt it tuff when you have a fantasy pitcher goin against the Mets? I have Smoltz on one a my teams. Floyd walks. 1 & 2nd no out...Wright at the plate

cooby Sep 07 2005 09:13 PM

That's why all my starting pitchers are either Mets or American Leaguers

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 09:14 PM

Hey, Carlos! Way to take the bat out of the hands of the best hitter on the team! I hope Omar kept his receipt.

Zvon Sep 07 2005 09:14 PM

Beltran!!!!!!!!!! whatRyaDOIN!? thrown out trying to steal 3rd with WRIGHT UP!

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2005 09:14 PM

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 09:15 PM

Hey, I said "loss." It's all good. :)

martin Sep 07 2005 09:15 PM

i refuse to take players that would oppose the mets on my fantasy team. i have no NL east guys. incidentally, the hdtv i won from msg network finally arrived, and it is incredible. too bad most away games are not in HD, so i havent seen a met game in hd yet.

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 09:15 PM

Party at martin's house! I'm usually anti-Brave and anti-Yankee on my team, but Hudson's been on my team forever, and I hated to lose him.

Congrats to Jose Reyes on his 50th stolen base of the year!!!!

Zvon Sep 07 2005 09:19 PM

cooby wrote: That's why all my starting pitchers are either Mets or American Leaguers I tried to make this happen. During the draft and over the season. Between both teams i have Reyes Wright Benson Piazza(backing up Pudge Rod) Glavine(had him, dropped him b4 the AS break, duh)

martin Sep 07 2005 09:21 PM

wright has been the real force behing my fantasy team. he has performed way above the level of where he went in most drafts. next year i gotta think he is a top 5 NL 3b.

cooby Sep 07 2005 09:21 PM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Sep 07 2005 09:23 PM

I have all the Mets starters except Trachsel, plus I have Looper and Zambrano, Piazza, Castro, Mienkiewicz, Reyes, Wright, Floyd and Diaz. I had Cameron but dropped him of course. Piazza is on reserve and I am thinking of dropping him, I don't look to see him back.

KC Sep 07 2005 09:22 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 07 2005 09:24 PM

I gave up on roto years ago because Sept was not meant for counting stats of opposing team's players or rooting for players on teams you're scoreboard watching to selectively do well. It's not natural for me to give a hoot about (Hudson's complete game, for example) and enjoy my un- fantasy team at the same time. Seawolf / KC sim score soars on Sunday only to dip back to sea level on Wednesday ;-)

Valadius Sep 07 2005 09:22 PM

The strategy of avoiding players the Mets face is SOOOO self-defeating. I used to make the same mistake, and my teams did terribly. Now, all I do is refuse to draft Yankees or Braves.

Zvon Sep 07 2005 09:24 PM

......complications. Glavine walks Chipper. Willies gonna pull him.

cooby Sep 07 2005 09:24 PM

A lot of my other guys are Red Sox. I'm trying to cozy up to Bret

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 09:24 PM

Glavine did a nice job today. He's pitched well recently. Let's get him a W, Bert.

Zvon Sep 07 2005 09:27 PM

Hernandez is big here. he must shut em down. Must get A Jones

Valadius Sep 07 2005 09:27 PM

On my team I have the following Mets: Wright Floyd Martinez Seo I took Wright in the sixth round.

Zvon Sep 07 2005 09:28 PM

throw another breaking ball....DONT SHOW HIM THE FAST BALL again. Gets him to fly out. Good job old man

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 09:28 PM

I had Glavine at one point, but dropped him quickly. Picked up Zambrano a few months ago, and picked up Seo after his first start back, so that's been a nice boost. Tried to get Wright, but his owner's a big Mets fan too, so that wasn't gonna happen. Nice out, Bert.

martin Sep 07 2005 09:29 PM

domo arigato, mr roberto

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 09:31 PM

Great effort by Glavine tonight. Hopefully Roberto can preserve a victory. Good job of shutting down the Brave by Hernandez. He has been much better than I ever expected him to be this season. Someone needs to explain to the Mets that it's okay, even preferrable, to score more than 2 runs in a game.

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2005 09:32 PM

Nice job by Berto. I'd be sooooo tempted to stick w/him for the 9th except that his turn of bat will come up here. Braves bench is loaded w/leftys which scares me vis-a-vis Looper.

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 09:35 PM

Diaz with a rope into the RCF gap for a stand up double with one out in the ninth. Come on guys, we need insurance.

Valadius Sep 07 2005 09:36 PM

Slap one, Jose!!!

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 09:36 PM

DAMMIT DIAZ! Do NOT jog after the ball in the bottom of the goddamn ninth inning!! Why the hell is he still out there?!?!

Zvon Sep 07 2005 09:39 PM

if Looper blows this, I will go mad..... FRANCOUER DOUBLES TO START THE 9TH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 09:40 PM

Franceour with a lead off double into the right field corner. Looked like he could have had a triple if he wanted to push it. I need another beer quick.

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 09:42 PM

Get Tim Freaking Hamulack into this game. I hat Braden Looper (and Victor Diaz, although he's lucky as hell that was only a double).

cooby Sep 07 2005 09:42 PM

I predict a old original jb appearance

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 09:43 PM

One HUGE out. Franceoueur still at second.

TheOldMole Sep 07 2005 09:43 PM

Two outs. And I don't like that graphic about the 11 Brave wins'

Zvon Sep 07 2005 09:44 PM

Looper induces the pop up. I almost cant watch. I just cant take Looper anymore. How do you serve a pitch like that up to Francouer. That guy can hit anyones heat, no less right over the plate.

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 09:44 PM

Is Mole's TV on some sort of reverse delay, where he sees things before they happen?

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 09:45 PM

oldmole - "Two outs." mole turns psychic on us. I hope he's proven right.

I'm always surprised by how short the time frame is between when we realize Looper sucks and when people forget about it.

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 09:50 PM

Nice dig by Eyechart on an absolute rocket in the dirt from Reyes. Two outs, and Langerhans on third representing the winning run for the evil empire of the south.

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 09:51 PM

Can we bring in Dwight Gooden, circa 1986, now?

KC Sep 07 2005 09:51 PM

I actually feel sorry for Glavine, and I don't particularly like him much.

See, I never had Looper on my team. I didn't want him.

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 09:55 PM

The starters (pitchers) all did their job in this series. They should sue their teammates, particularly those wielding such impotent bats, for none support. Looper at least succeeds at not losing the game. Whoop-dee-damn-doo. 2-2 heading to the tenth.

cooby Sep 07 2005 09:55 PM

I only took him because he is the Mets closer :(

cooby Sep 07 2005 09:56 PM

Extra innings. Old Mole, how long is this going to last?

Valadius Sep 07 2005 09:56 PM

Matsui, Beltran, and Floyd coming up. They'll probably bring out Farnsworth, but if they bring out Kolb, we can shell his ass.

Valadius Sep 07 2005 09:58 PM

Reitsma, eh? We can take him.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 07 2005 09:58 PM

Valadius Sep 07 2005 10:04 PM

I was wondering why the pitch count wasn't moving.

Rotblatt Sep 07 2005 10:05 PM

You call this pain? Oh, wait, wrong thread. I don't get us. We keep hitting the ball pretty well and taking walks but we just can't score any damn runs. Our pitching has been pretty close to perfect outside of Looper. I mean, outside of one clutch hit every night--and not making boneheaded, dumbass plays like trying to steal third with Wright at bat--our guys have played pretty well this series and our pitching has been ALMOST perfect. And yet we're almost certainly going to lose. I agree about Wagner. We should absolutely sign him this offseason if he doesn't get locked up soon. Loop could be a good ROOGY, and we could use Heilman as a setup guy. Trading Loop would be fine too--we've got some decent arms we could use to replace him. Anyone wanna bet that if this game goes much further, we see Graves? I hope I'm wrong, but Willie had him warming up yesterday. Not a good sign.

Zvon Sep 07 2005 10:05 PM

Brower. Throws stuff. Smart move Cox, but not vs. Wright. right mole? Teel me he hits

cooby Sep 07 2005 10:06 PM

If he puts in Graves, I swear I will turn off my tv

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 10:06 PM

Single to left for right loads the bases with one out. He hit it too damn hard for Beltran to have a chance of scoring from second.

Zvon Sep 07 2005 10:07 PM

wicked single. Beltran,...why didnt u steal 3rd so you could have scored, ya dolt. bases loaded and 1 out. If we dont score, Im steppin off. See if theres any JD in the cabinet.

Rotblatt Sep 07 2005 10:08 PM

Wright singles but Beltran inexplicably held up at third. Bases loaded for Dougie and the lefty Foster comes in to pitch to him. You know what I'd love to see here? Suicide squeeze. Balls to the motherfucking wall, Willie. DO IT!

seawolf17 Sep 07 2005 10:08 PM

I had given up on this game -- I forgot that "Lost" was on -- but I'm back. Woody, time to be a hero.

Valadius Sep 07 2005 10:08 PM

JIM BROWER!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!! I have a Mets bottle opener that plays a call by Gary Cohen whenever you open a bottle. It goes: Brower delivers... AND A LINE DRIVE DEEP TO LEFT FIELD!!!! BACK GOES BONDS TO THE TRACK, JUMPING... AND IT'S OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!! MIKE PIAZZA WINS THE GAME!!!!! A line shot over the left field wall, and the Mets win it in the bottom of the 11th inning!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Woody shows wood (and dont get arrested for exposure) Only one run on that single tho

Rotblatt Sep 07 2005 10:10 PM

Or you could put Woody in there and have him single in a run. Biggio just wrecked our future closer, taking him deep for a three-run walkoff home run. Line into DP by Castro. Time for Loop to fuck up again.

OH... MY... GOD... WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS LOOPER DOING OUT THERE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 10:16 PM

Well, that's one way to keep Andruw in the park. Looper hit Andruw, which moves Chipper to second with no one out. As much as I hate the Jones boys, I'm starting to hate Looper even more. Can we get Mando back?

Rotblatt Sep 07 2005 10:19 PM

Why is Takatsu warming up instead of Heilman? I mean, jesus, Takatsu's been a'ight for us, but Heilman gets no fucking respect. Second-best relief pitcher for us and he languishes in the pen while Looper single-handedly costs us the game. Bases loaded as Heilman loses Franco after going 0-2 to start. And Willie's going to bring in Takatsu. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WILLIE USE AARON HEILMAN!!!!!@!!!!! I knew we were losing this all along, but it's still painful as hell watching it unfold.

Zvon Sep 07 2005 10:20 PM

bases loaded, no out. Thanks for draggin this out Looper, so the pain lingers. NOW WILLIE MAKES A CHANGE.. cripes---if your gonna F the guy you may as well stick it all the way in! so now who gets to go thru losing this? what a mess.....this is horrible.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 07 2005 10:20 PM

Don't think it matters who comes in now. Beltran wasn't inexplicably held up. He'd have been out by 45 feet if he tried scoring.

Rockin' Doc Sep 07 2005 10:21 PM

After getting ahead of Father time Franco 0-2, Looper walks him to load the bases with no outs. Here comes Franceur. Must get another beer. Looper going to turn me into a total lush.

="Johnny Dickshot"]Don't think it matters who comes in now. Beltran wasn't inexplicably held up. He'd have been out by 45 feet if he tried scoring. yea, that was a wicked linedrive single. He could not have scored and the braves would not have conceded that run,. he would have been out.

Rotblatt Sep 07 2005 10:23 PM

Thanks for the correction, JD. I was going off of Gary, who said Beltran waited to see if it dropped in first even though it was pretty clearly a single off the bat. I figured that meant Beltran could have scored had he left sooner.

Rotblatt Sep 07 2005 10:33 PM

Willie's a moron. Loop clearly didn't have it--even Willie should've seen that after he hit Andruw. He probably should've put Heilman in there to start off the inning, but I don't think he even had Heilman warming up in the pen. Well, it wouldn't have been a complete sweep if Willie hadn't fucked up at least one of the games in some meaningful way.

Wow, just when you think it can't get any worse... Looper.

I dunno. Wasting Glavines effort thru Looper and THEN running him out there again......... He failed at his assignment. You dont stick with him......not after how he just tossed fastballs over the heart of the plate and said 'here, tie it'. There are other arms. I just dont get Willies thinkin there. I gotta step off....Ill be back.

Bring on the Cards!! (I got nothing to add)

Well, at least this game demonstrated the glaringly obvious need for BJ Ryan in 2006.

It's over. We're gonna make up 5 games on Houston--and 4 on Florida--with 23 to play? Fuckingshitfuckshit.

The entire history of the Mets against the Braves in one pitch - Castro hits a bullet that could have broken the game open- right at Rafael Fecal. Disembowelment with a rusty, dull, butter knife is too good for Braden Looper. EDIT: I told you I didn't think she looked like a virgin. Later

If the Mets rebound from this, in any way, shape, or form, I will be amazed. This loss is easily the most painful point of this season of possiblilities.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 07 2005 11:03 PM

got a 9-game homestand coming up.

Stick a fork in us, we're done, even though we lost I tought Takatsu showed some balls, very nearly did it.

DocTee Sep 07 2005 11:30 PM

Fork us... all season I told myself two things: 1.We're capable of a hot-streak (and in the tepid NL that could mean a playoff berth) 2. The early Septemeber trip to Florida, Atlanta, and St.Louis would prolly decide our fate How nice, I thought, if points 1 and 2 would coincide...ah well, such is life (or as ZVON would say--thats baseball!)

Takatsu was a September callup, who would still be pitching for the White Sox if he were any good, and Willie brings him into TWO absolutely critical bases loaded situations? I guess he didn't take enough heat for the first one. Willie shows no confidence in a guy who pitched a one-hitter for him earlier in the year, but keeps showing confidence in a guy who keeps proving he's not up to the job. Takatsu will get Willie run out of New York if he's not careful. And maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing. As for Looper, he just punched his one-way ticket himself. I was kind of doubtful his option would get picked up even before tonight, but now, forget it.

I am sure Looper would have found another way to blow it in the ninth, but did anyone else think that leadoff double was a foul ball? Maybe I am blind, but the replay that caused Keith to say "definately a fair ball" prompted the exact opposite reaction from me (and caused my 3 year old to blurt out "Stop yelling Daddy!"). Of course, Willie had no objection to the call.

Wow. Now I'm glad I fell asleep and missed the end, though I was pissed when I first woke up this morning. _____________________________ This post had the designation 162) Mike Phillips

I still don't understand why he brought looper back out. Why did he bring looper back out? Looper out in the tenth after a dismal 9th? Why does willie hate us so? *cries*

I haven't read this thread. I will not read this thread. Don't love the pain that much. Yet.
