We really ought to keep our hopes up - we've beaten top pitchers before this season. We bludgeoned Jake Peavy earlier this year.

seawolf17 Sep 08 2005 07:24 PM

I think we beat Steve Carlton once also.

Rockin' Doc Sep 08 2005 07:25 PM

Are the Mets losing yet?

KC Sep 08 2005 07:31 PM

They have to get a lead first, before they lose.

seawolf17 Sep 08 2005 07:33 PM

Tony LaRussa said he'd spot them three runs tonight if Willie promised to start Cairo at second, Diaz in right, and let Looper pitch the ninth.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 07:39 PM

We've got one sure-fire run then.

Zvon Sep 08 2005 08:15 PM

Reyes singles and is caught stealing. Thats the way its goin for us.

Zvon Sep 08 2005 08:17 PM

Then Matsui singles and Beltran wiffs. UGH. Beltran is pressing. Him trying to steal 3rd last night is a prime example. He took that upon himself thinking he has to do something to help. Some help that was. Floyd didnt even move up behind him. Thats bad baseball.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 08 2005 08:23 PM

5 batters, 3 runners, 0 runs.

Zvon Sep 08 2005 08:24 PM

Matsui moves up on WP. Floydwalk with 1st base open. Wright Ks. 3 baserunners in the 1st, no runs.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 08:24 PM

Why aren't we winning? We're getting caught stealing. That's it.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 08:27 PM

Leadoff man gets on. Oh boy...

TheOldMole Sep 08 2005 08:32 PM

I do feel better with Matsui starting at second. I mean, relative to as good as one can feel these days, which is...eh...

Valadius Sep 08 2005 08:36 PM

Benson works out of it.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 08:39 PM

Ok, we went down WAY too quickly.

He seems to have improved his focus at the plate. I don't believe in focus. He was probably focused every time all year long equally as much as he is now. Just happens to be hot now. Or hotter, at least.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 08:55 PM

Goddammit. The Littlest Molina Brother leads off with a double.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 09:00 PM

3-4-5 coming up.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 09:02 PM

Beltran, swinging too early as usual.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 09:10 PM

Benson's allowed the leadoff man in 3 of 4 innings. That's not how you win ballgames.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 09:12 PM

DAMMIT BENSON!!! Stop letting people on base with nobody out!!!!

Valadius Sep 08 2005 09:19 PM

We ought to pick up Mr. Taguchi. Then we'd have Jae Seo and So Taguchi on the same team.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 09:22 PM

That was the luckiest break EVER.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 09:24 PM

Come on, Manker...

Valadius Sep 08 2005 09:38 PM

Where is everybody? Why am I the only poster on this page?

Zvon Sep 08 2005 09:38 PM

Pitcher -----IP --PC --H --ER --BB--- K Benson --5.0 --73 ----3 --0 -----2 ---4 more fine starting pitching, so far. What are the Mets hitting with? stick ball bats?

Edgy DC Sep 08 2005 09:42 PM

Albert Pujols, Mantle-esque.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 09:43 PM

FUCK!!!!!!! Pujols jacks one.

Zvon Sep 08 2005 09:47 PM

i KNEW i should not have said anything about Bensons pitching. I KNEW IT. I wasnt gonna............then I figured WTH daggggggggnabbitt

Bret Sabermetric Sep 08 2005 09:48 PM

And now Taguchi hits a 3-1 cripple pitch to drive another run.

Bret Sabermetric Sep 08 2005 10:09 PM

Poo-holes yanks ANOTHER one out, 3-0.

Zvon Sep 08 2005 10:11 PM

Pojols pumps out another. 3-1 and I feel numb

Bret Sabermetric Sep 08 2005 10:13 PM

KazMat boots another. Better withdraw that Gold Glove nominatrion now.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 10:13 PM

Dammit Matsui!!!!!!

Edgy DC Sep 08 2005 10:15 PM

Hamulack has an ERA.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 08 2005 10:17 PM

This is not a Hooray for Hamulack night :(

Zvon Sep 08 2005 10:18 PM

pinch hit homer off Hammy. Proves another old addage,: errors kill! Try as you might Bret, we cant feel any worse.

KC Sep 08 2005 10:22 PM

>>>we cant feel any worse.<<< I really don't feel that bad. I mean, this road trip had road trip from hell written all over it. The only hope was they'd stay close and get home for one more run at it.

Zvon Sep 08 2005 10:29 PM

KC wrote: The only hope was they'd stay close and get home for one more run at it. ditto....but i feel down and i feel numb. from last night, I think, more so than this game.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 10:38 PM

Zambrano out of the pen. Priceless.

KC Sep 08 2005 10:40 PM

Wouldn't it be funny if Kazbrano turned out to be the next Mets' stopper?

Zvon Sep 08 2005 10:42 PM

Valadius wrote: Zambrano out of the pen. Priceless. yea, Willie said yesterday Zambrano would be goin to the pen. Maybe he'll let Trachsel know when he's pitchin next too, thatd be nice.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 10:45 PM

Q: When's the last time Kaz homered? A: May 17, vs. Cincinnati.

Zvon Sep 08 2005 10:49 PM

Beltran has 2 hits, both singles. i guess thats..something.....2 singles

Zvon Sep 08 2005 10:53 PM

Floyds makin King throw some pitches....i like.....he strikes out,...I dont like.

Valadius Sep 08 2005 10:55 PM

We weren't going to beat Carpenter anyway.

Zvon Sep 08 2005 10:58 PM

probly not, but we certainly had a chance. Until I jinxed Benson by bringing up his pitch line. tonight,I take the blame. Ill take a lil a the heat off Looper.

Rockin' Doc Sep 08 2005 11:03 PM

We lost again. Well, there's a surprise. The Mets didn't even get their customary 2 runs tonight. Must be saving up for an offensive outburst tomorrow.

Rotblatt Sep 08 2005 11:29 PM

Well, The Plan is now dead. That didn't take long. I'm sad we can't even do pain right anymore. I mean, there's pretty much no way we can even make it look like a race now, which means the real pain is over. I'm glad I missed this game. I caught the tail end of the Yankees game passing by a bar, and thought "Oh, good! The Yankees are losing! Maybe it'll be triple happiness tonight!" So pretty much my bad, guys. Sorry about that.

Zvon Sep 09 2005 12:14 AM

Just saw the highlights. Pojols takes a curtain call? wassupWidDat? shudda plunked him next time up and had the whole Mets team bow to the crowd. hehawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
