IGT, 7/21, Mets v. Fish

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 07:36 PM

It's already 1-1. We also already have Cabrera out of the game with an injury, and two stolen bases by Reyes. Florida New York 1) Pierre, cf 2) Conine, lf 3) Cabrera, 3b Dillon, 2b 4) Delgado, 1b 5) Encarncion, rf 6) LoDuca, c 7) Lowell, 2b-3b 8) Andino, ss 9) Vargas, p 1) Reyes, ss 2) Cairo, 2b 3) Beltran, cf 4) Floyd, lf 5) Wright, 3b 6) Piazza, c 7) Diaz, rf 8) Jacobs, 1b 9) Seo, p

Valadius Sep 21 2005 07:39 PM

Beltran's been good as of late.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 07:40 PM

Hernandez is in the booth and HoJo is in the Met dugout.

Zvon Sep 21 2005 07:41 PM

Beltran ties it with a single following Reyes doing his lead off single and steal second thang. Delgado drew first blood with his own RBI single following Pierre doing his similar thang in the 1st half. 1-1

Zvon Sep 21 2005 07:58 PM

After all that talk about having Diaz fill the 2 spot while Matsui is out, and batting Hernandez 8th, Willie has Cairo playin 2nd and batting 2nd. You cant call that an experiment, Willie.

Valadius Sep 21 2005 07:58 PM

WHY IS CAIRO BATTING 2ND?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Valadius Sep 21 2005 07:59 PM

JAKE-MONSTER!!!!!

Zvon Sep 21 2005 07:59 PM

douBLOOM! Jacobs drives in Piazza with a double. The guys a,.....a.....monster.

Zvon Sep 21 2005 08:10 PM

side note:The Marlin´s Miguel Cabrera left the game in the top of the first inning after fouling a ball off his leg. The Marlins are pretty banged up.

Zvon Sep 21 2005 08:21 PM

nothing in the game notes........ Mets - New York leads the National League with 144 stolen bases and is third in the NL with 55 pinch hits. The Mets are the only NL team to have six players with 10 or more steals and the team's .306 pinch-hitting average leads the NL. ... LF Floyd has a major league-leading 14 outfield assists, most for any Mets outfielder since Bernard Gilkey had 17 in 1997. ... RHP Seo has 10 strikeouts in his last 13 innings.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 08:21 PM

I imagine that the answer will be something like: "The kid was a little overwhelmed. I wanted to give him a blow and let him step back. He'll be fine"

Valadius Sep 21 2005 08:23 PM

Right... we've got Marlon Anderson on the bench and we send out Cairo.

To see how LoDuca ran out that double-play, I'd have the Mets bunting all night.

Lowell homers to tie.

Not watching on tv. Isn't Vargas a lefty? And Willie is giving Jake a start against him? I'm impressed. Later

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 08:30 PM

The Marlon Anderson at second movement is a little late in coming, isn't it?

Zvon Sep 21 2005 08:33 PM

..........................a big black and blue blowfish? Says Piazza got a infield single. Anyone see how that went down? Seos over 70 pitches thru 4.... Im bummed about Wrights recent HR drought.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 08:34 PM

He's hit a couple but stopped at second in order to get the double record.

KC Sep 21 2005 08:36 PM

Zvon Sep 21 2005 08:40 PM

Vargas singles and Pierre sacs him over. mmmmmmmmm. interesting. That stogie suckin McKeon is old school. Conine moves Vargas to third with a ground out. Dillon strands him. NICE TRY McKeon........need a match?

Zvon Sep 21 2005 09:03 PM

Whew...Seo gets out of a jam there. Encarnacion is stranded at third. Seos over 100 pitches. Would be nice if the Mets could plate a run and put him in a position to get the win...... I see no reason why he should continue on after this inning. Well, maybe one more. But i think he's done his job for the night.

Zvon Sep 21 2005 09:06 PM

Floyd hits one deep but not deep enough. Fly out. Wright singles. Comeon Piazza----smack one for Seo

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 09:07 PM

Great tidbit from Keith. He was giving Cabrera grief for being in the dugout walking around instead of in the clubhouse icing himself. He said he learned how to deal with trauma injuries because, in his first big-league camp, his roommate was Ron Hunt.

Zvon Sep 21 2005 09:10 PM

Piazza walks and Diaz comes thruu!! nice. Wright scores on the Diaz single 3-2 Mets

Rotblatt Sep 21 2005 09:14 PM

Jake Monster K's. Double switch with Dougie or Woody coming in for Seo? Or are we looking for one inning from someone? I'm guessing Willie goes with Padilla.

Padilla's holding Pierre as close as possible... good thing too. He would have scored from 2nd on Conine's single. Come on Paddy----do your job. hold em for Seo.

Long delay here as some of the lights have gone out. I expect Bobby Valentine would have been back there with the stadium management guys trying to get the lights on himself.

On the TV side, they won't stop slamming Mets fans for booing Looper. What do they expect?

Two on and Lenny at the plate.

Zvon Sep 21 2005 09:55 PM

I can handle Looper doing his job, and having the opportunity to do it. If he gives up a run I will be LIVID! LIVID i tell ya. i can handle anyone else giving it up.....NOT LOOPER! dont ask me why cuz I dont know, but thats where im at

ScarletKnight41 Sep 21 2005 09:55 PM

Looper :(

TheOldMole Sep 21 2005 09:55 PM

And Looper does it again (or should we blame the fans?) Lenny comes through, game tied.

Zvon Sep 21 2005 09:57 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOOPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I would just pull him off the mound and release him from the team in one move.

Rotblatt Sep 21 2005 09:57 PM

Looper. I gotta say, I'm not surprised. But why would Willie leave Loop in against a lefty? Oh, right--he doesn't learn from his mistakes.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 09:57 PM

It would have been a good time for Takatsu.

Fuckshit. Shitfuck. FuckShitFuckShitFuckShitFuckShitFuckShitFuckShitFuckShitFuck

Rotblatt Sep 21 2005 10:02 PM

Well, Takatsu gives up a single and the Fish take the lead. I think Willie made the right move in bringing Loop in , but once Harris came in, I think he should've put in someone else. Still, I don't think it was a HORRIBLE call, except in retrospect.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 10:04 PM

Booing a guy just for showing up is, to say the least, counterproductive.

seawolf17 Sep 21 2005 10:04 PM

What the frigging hell is the point of bringing Braden Fucking Looper into the game? Why? Can we try some of these kids, see if they can get some fucking guys out? Whose mother did Heath Bell screw? Why doesn't he pitch any more? Did Aaron Heilman's arm fall off and I missed it? Can you tell me why Tim Hamulack can't get a chance to get some fucking guys out? GOD this team drives me fucking crazy.

TheOldMole Sep 21 2005 10:06 PM

Middle of the Mets lineup actually coming through? Beltran and Floyd...

Elster88 Sep 21 2005 10:07 PM

Heilman pitched two innings yesterday. Probably didn't want to pitch him again today.

When MK was being interviewed for that Mets documentary yesterday, his only negative comments were about Looper and Takatsu. You can't blame the kid for his choices there.... Mikey drives in the tying run. 4-4. They'll drag this out before tearing our livers out in front of us....

Rotblatt Sep 21 2005 10:12 PM

MIKE PIAZZA! Line drive single to tie the game! He's reached all four times today. Gotta love that. And Williams comes in to pinch run for him. Good call. Piazza needs his rest after 12 innings last night.

I see your point, but with Looper I can understand fans wanting to let him know how disappointed they are in him. Im a positive supporter of the Mets, and very team minded, but if i was there and he didnt get thru that inning, id be booin too. Before he even threw a pitch or allowed a runner to reach? Maybe not, but i would understand the people who would do that. He's only blown the hope of the fans in every instance and level that he could, and seemingly only at times when we really want him to do his job.

Or not! Lowell pops it up near the stands and Jake makes what sounds like a nice catch, reaching over the rail to end the inning. whew! Let's finish it NOW.

Jacobs catches the third out and Cairo --- playing the game the right way --- catches Jacobs.

I think the fans have every right to pick Looper as a scapegoat, even though he is not the only reason the Mets have failed. Whether he needs to know or not dont concern me. Tonight i wanted more than anything for Seo to get the win. Looper ruined that hope. And why did Hamulack only pitch to one batter in that inning? I still dont know the answer to that one.

Elster88 Sep 21 2005 10:36 PM

Does Jose like giving me heart palpitations by diving into every base when the playoffs are out of reach?

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 10:38 PM

They booed him before he failed, and by undermining him, they facilitate that failure, and share in it.

Zvon Sep 21 2005 10:38 PM

Ryes makes it happen. Singles and gets second on an error. On a side note: Reyes has become the 1st shortstop since 1900 to ever record 55 steals, 20 doubles,15 triples, and 90 runs scored in a single season. Not too shabby.

Rotblatt Sep 21 2005 10:38 PM

Ugh. I'd rather have anyone BUT Cairo up right now. Oh, shit!!! It's a base hit by Cairo and we win the game!!! Tonight, Willie, you can do no wrong. I'll consider giving you a pass tomorrow as well. Let go Mets!

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 10:39 PM

Cairo. Player of the Game. That's why.

Elster88 Sep 21 2005 10:39 PM

As you know, i was one who really had a problem with Met fan attitudes. But in the instance of Looper, I can understand fans doing that. I wouldnt. But as soon as a runner reached, i would. I would want him out of there and no longer in the position to ruin what hopes i still hold for this team.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2005 11:35 PM

Nice game by the much-maligned Miguel Cairo. He ran that rundown play perfectly from the second he got the ball. Seo was better than the linescore looked. The Marlins had hits in every inning but many of them were cheesy little dunkers. Reyes makes 2nd there because he runs to 1st expecting that the fielder will not make the play cleanly. If/when he does field it w/o a hitch you've got plently of time to get back but in the meantime you don't lose your momentum by anticipating that it'll only be a single. Most players don't do that and the slower guys are the ones who should do it even more than the fast ones. Looper's problem was the walk. The hits were all dinkers but his lack of a 'K' pitch this year contributes to that. The booers are stupid because they're booing before anything goes wrong.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2005 11:46 PM

I thought the RBI single by Lenny Harris was a solid hit off of Looper. The funny thing is that Hernandez seems to have the same problem as Loop --- the fastball is the only thing that's going over for strikes. He just has a few more miles per hour on it. I wonder if Piazza gets any blame for letting Takatsu throw the fastball. The victory --- along with Philadelphia beating Atlanta --- helped the Mets stave off elimination in the division for one more night. Mets are a game and a half out of fourth. Willie had an interesting position, saying that focusing on being a spoiler is for losers, and that team should go out there looking to win for it's own sake.

metirish Sep 22 2005 12:11 AM

I like Willie's take on that Edgy,losers might be a bit strong but I see his point.
