I didn't expect to see Piazza back in the line up. It's too late for the team, but I hope Mike can have a decent run to end the season (and his career as a Met).

KC Sep 10 2005 07:35 PM

Lol, Piazza goes yard to right field in his first AB since early August.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 10 2005 07:41 PM

Damn. Edmonds' 2-run homer gives back the lead :(

KC Sep 10 2005 08:04 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 10 2005 08:06 PM

Suppan takes Trax deep for a homer. Baseball can be evil when you moan and grown about almost losing a job then getting it back. It's 4-1after a Pujols double and Walker something or other through four innings.

Rotblatt Sep 10 2005 08:06 PM

Well, things not looking good for the Mets as Trachs gives up a homer to Suppan, but Piazza's home run was magic. First at bat in like a month after rushing back from an injury? And the Mets averaging around 2 runs a game for the last two weeks? That was money. Pujols doubles down the left field line, then Walker with a single past a diving Matsui. Diaz makes a strong but offline throw to the plate, which Piazza can't hang on to but Trachs gets Walker trying for third to end the inning. Trachs doesn't look good. It might be Graves time before much longer. Except Willie will probably use Heilman instead.

Old Met GM Bing Devine is in the Cardinal booth.

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 08:10 PM

This day in baseball, 1919, Ray Caldwell of the Indians no-hits the Yankees, two weeks after being struck by lightning.

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 08:14 PM

I'd pinch-hit for Trax here. Cmon. It's September.

Zvon Sep 10 2005 08:32 PM

I wasnt watchin til just now and i read this to catch up. PIAZZA!!!??? howbouthat? Didnt think we'd see him for at least afew weeks. And he kabooms..wowzers

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 08:37 PM

Boo. Seven runners stranded.

Zvon Sep 10 2005 08:46 PM

="Edgy DC"]Boo. Seven runners stranded. yea, they said they left the bases loaded one inning. Fire that dang hittin coach, just to do something. Kinda early to roll out my rally/comeback 2demensional guys...... but........... what the hell: you should do some kind of a rally thing Edge. When you do stuff like that something happens.

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 08:48 PM

It's hard to blame the pitching coach when Trachsel can't come through with the bags juiced.

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 08:55 PM

Rally song time: Come on She looked good She looked hotter than hell All dressed in satins and lace I looked at her and it was just too clear I had to get on the case I said "lady, oh lady, can i take you home There's just so much we could do I'll take you all around the whole wide world Before the evening is through" Hot, hot, hotter than hell! You know she's gonna leave you well done Hot, hot, hotter than hell! Burn you like the midday sun I asked her why she couldn't make up her mind She said "you don't understand I'd love to go, but there's something you should know" She showed me her wedding band Hot, hot, hotter than hell! You know she's gonna leave you well done Hot, hot, hotter than hell! She'll burn you like the midday sun Hot, hot, hotter than hell! You know she's gonna leave you well done Hot, hot, hotter than hell! She'll burn you like the midday sun

C'mon Jose!

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 09:11 PM

Cards are making mistakes this series and getting away with them. They just seem like it's their year.

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 09:14 PM

Hamulack and Jose did the Mets out with a double play.

cooby Sep 10 2005 09:15 PM

That song looks like a Christmas tree

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 09:22 PM

It helps when the first line is brief. Matsui is aflame. We need to drive the guy home, though.

Rockin' Doc Sep 10 2005 09:28 PM

Cliffie, keeps the threat alive. Mets at the corners with one out.

DocTee Sep 10 2005 09:32 PM

The Cardinals have cut to the break with "Boys Don't Cry" by the Cure and "The Lunatics" by the Specials. Better than the ESPN-ish corporate rock just about every team is using.

Zvon Sep 10 2005 09:40 PM

i dont believe this PIAZZA beaneddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 09:41 PM

I think Piazza's thinking a lot about retirement right now.

Zvon Sep 10 2005 09:43 PM

that looked just like the Cemens beaning. Im sure it wasnt intentional----but comeONNNNNNNN i really cant believe that happened

cooby Sep 10 2005 09:45 PM

Is he okay? (tonight I can't watch)

Zvon Sep 10 2005 09:45 PM

DIAZ

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 09:46 PM

He's been removed from the game. He was alert and walking under his own power, but seemed woozy. Direct hit that bounced almost straight back. Prompt DP followed by a Diaz solo dose of thunder.

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 09:52 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 10 2005 09:57 PM

The booth guys made a big deal out of LaRussa's intolerance for reckless pitching. They seemed to be making a real saint out of LaRussa, but damned if they didn't open the next inning with a shot of LaRussa publicly thrashing Taverez (and Taverez talking back the whole time).

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 09:54 PM

Cliff Floyd has been removed from the game even though he's batting third next inning. I think it's looking like we're going to get some Tides soon.

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 09:56 PM

Mets have had 16 baserunners! The only ones to score were the two homers.

Zvon Sep 10 2005 09:58 PM

But I just cant believe he comes back and hits a homer and gets hit in the head. That just sucks. Damn---its the 8th but i have to head out. Ill chk in later... LETS GO METS!!!!

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 09:59 PM

Report: slight concussion, day to day.

Rockin' Doc Sep 10 2005 10:10 PM

Mets lose once again. That's 6 straight, but whose counting. At least the team got their offense back on track as they scored their customary 2 runs. This has really gotten to be pathetic. The pitchers must feel as if they have to be near perfect in order to have a chance of getting a victory.

Rotblatt Sep 10 2005 10:17 PM

Fuck baseball. Tonight sucked. 16 motherfucking baserunners, 10 hits, including 3 XBH and the best we can do is 2 runs? I was prepared to lose, but I didn't think Piazza would be back, and he got me going with his home run. .294 AVG/.400 OBP/.529 SLG/.929 OPS = 2 R? The beaning killed me. Piazza comes back, still in pain (whatever Tom was saying, he DID grimace at some of those hits), plays his little heart out and gets a fucking concussion? If we needed a metaphor for the end of our season, that's it. So long, Piazza & the 2005 Mets, and thanks for the memories . . . We had some good moments together.

Edgy DC Sep 10 2005 10:53 PM

Marty Noble's initial report at mlb.com mention's nothing of why Floyd was pulled. Heilman beaning Eckstein is an oddly interesting thing. Something I don't support, but it spares the Cards from sleeping on the idea that Pedro's going to bean somebody tomorrow, and it spares the Mets from risking getting Pedro tossed. Let's get out of Augie's Oven with a win tomorrow. Preferably a devastating thrashing.

Zvon Sep 11 2005 02:06 AM

This is the Mets longest losing streak of the season, 'folks'. Aint that a bitch...... so they retaliated? Ending Eckstiens chance to extend his 14 game hitting streak as well. Interesting. I wonder if Willie called for that...... You usually dont retaliate against an unintentional plunk like that. I mean, it had to be unintentional, right? ....right? Hope Piazza bounces right back. If anyone can, he can. I dont mean to make a joke out of it, but of course, I will: .....someone has to. Truth is Im REALLY pissed that happened. And if theres ANY HINT that it was intentional, i say hit all 9 of em 1st time up this next game

Valadius Sep 11 2005 04:58 AM

Pedro's gonna kick some ASS!

Edgy DC Sep 11 2005 08:08 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 11 2005 11:55 AM

Teams often feel an obligation to retaliate against not just intentional beanings, but against pitching that they see as indifferently reckless --- under the notion of "If he can't keep his fastball near the plate, he has no business being out there."

Nymr83 Sep 11 2005 09:54 AM

intentional or not a guy got hit in the head and pedro is pitching today. retaliation is on the way!

Johnny Dickshot Sep 11 2005 10:29 AM

Post: Floyd has a strained left hamstring. Floyd said he might sit out today and play Tuesday. I missed this game. Wow.

Edgy DC Sep 11 2005 11:57 AM

If'n I didn't have a rooting interest, I might say it was a pretty good game. Certainly it was a showcase for all that it good and bad about Tony LaRussa. Yesterday, that meant taking advantage of September and using a half a dozen pitchers in a game where his team yielded only two runs.

Elster88 Sep 12 2005 12:14 PM

Asked yesterday if he had any ill will toward Tavarez or the Cardinals, Piazza said, "No comment."Asked yesterday if he had any ill will toward Tavarez or the Cardinals, Piazza said, "No comment." _____________________________ This post had the designation 158) Mark Carreon

Edgy DC Sep 14 2005 04:43 PM

Newsday says Mike's good to go, and also said that he told Randolph he was OK to play yesterday. Also: Koo's excuse While the Mets believe Dae-Sung Koo was out of line when he refused to warm up for an Aug. 21 game, partly leading to his demotion to Triple-A Norfolk the next afternoon, Koo explained yesterday that he was still bothered by a strained oblique muscle that night. "I couldn't pitch," Koo said through his interpreter. "If I was the last person in the bullpen, maybe I could have." Koo was recalled for last night's game, but his future with the Mets is murky at best, with club officials expecting him to return to Korea after the season.
