IGT - 9/22/05. Trying to Fry the Fish Again

ScarletKnight41 Sep 22 2005 07:32 PM

No IGT in the bottom of the 2nd? We suck! 0-0 after two. Mr. Wright made a really nice catch to end the top of the 2nd. Dontrelle Willis is batting 7th. Fran thinks that Cliff Floyd has a lot of confidence in his fielding this year. Someone help me out here....

I figured i was going blind or something when I didnt see the IGT. Well, I cant actually watch the game anyway so I have the MLB Gameday thing running. Willis hitting 7th. Desperate times. Pedro plunks Dillon, Pierre singles and steals 2nd. Uh-oh

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 07:38 PM

First and third, one out. Pedro's making trouble for himself. Pierre swipes second.

OlerudOwned Sep 22 2005 07:40 PM

RBI groundout for Conine. 1-0 Fish. Dammit

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 07:42 PM

Martinez is absolutely laboring.

Zvon Sep 22 2005 07:42 PM

.......settle down Pedro

Zvon Sep 22 2005 07:45 PM

whew......comes back from 3-0 on Encar...(etc) to K him. Nice

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 07:48 PM

Ramon Castro does a Piazza jobbie and lines one out to left-center. One apiece.

="Edgy DC"]Ramon Castro does a Piazza jobbie and lines one out to left-center. One apiece. It seems like Castro homers in most games I look at on MLB Gameday. At least this one and the Phillies game (the tease before the storm). EDIT- Image waaaaaay bigger than I intended EDIT v2.0- that image was a pain in the ass, screw it

Zvon Sep 22 2005 07:52 PM

okay----today is be nice to Cairo day. He deserves a lil luv. Give it up!

Zvon Sep 22 2005 07:53 PM

ewwwww.... Reyes cut down by DeLooger

Zvon Sep 22 2005 07:54 PM

well,..........ya cant steal em all. :wink:

OlerudOwned Sep 22 2005 08:02 PM

D-Train in the 7 spot pays off with a single, but Joe Cool Dillon gets doubled off to end the inning. Cairo Tron Floyd, due up

ScarletKnight41 Sep 22 2005 08:05 PM

The Castro home run landed right on top of where MK and I were standing for most of Sunday's game.

Zvon Sep 22 2005 08:12 PM

Adino doubles and Pierre sacs him to 3rd. mmmmmm.Mckeon had him sac the other night too. Guess ol stogey plays leave it to Delgado

Zvon Sep 22 2005 08:15 PM

Fortunatly Willie intentionally walks Delgado. Logical. Unfortunatly Encar..... doubles in a run...... 2-1 Fish 2 on

Zvon Sep 22 2005 08:18 PM

coulda been worse. Martinez is havin a tuff time of it.

Zvon Sep 22 2005 08:22 PM

Willis is scared of Castro.....walks him.

Zvon Sep 22 2005 08:25 PM

wow. that was an early hook for Pedro. 5 innings/ 74 pitches.

Zvon Sep 22 2005 08:27 PM

Padilla takes over. Hope Martinez is okay and no injury is involved.

Zvon Sep 22 2005 08:35 PM

that was kinda exciting to get thru unscathed. Cairo's using up his luv points. he better reach this time up or Cairo day is officially OVER!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 22 2005 08:45 PM

I hat Diaz :(

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 08:47 PM

I think it may be the hook for the season for Pedro Martinez, and they'll be one more chance for Zambrano.

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 08:49 PM

The Aflac Trivia Question asked for the first Met to hit 40 homers. One of the men in the Florida booth guessed Kevin Mitchell.

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 08:54 PM

Yeah, Hundley. That's pure speculation on my part. An announcement in the press box said that Pedro was pulled because of pitch count, not because of injury. He had only thrown 75 pitches, though.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 22 2005 08:55 PM

Yes - the Conine triple didn't have to be.

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 08:55 PM

Castro whiffs looking on a pitch at the shins.

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 08:58 PM

Piazza pinch hitting with two on and two out. Willis drops behind 2-0 and gets a visit.

Zvon Sep 22 2005 08:59 PM

Edgy DC wrote: Castro whiffs looking on a pitch at the shins. Yep---Willis is over his fear of Castro. Piazza to pinch hit Comon Mikey

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 08:59 PM

Wow! Whiffed on three straight fastballs.

Okay....Cairo day has been retracted and erased from history.

Zvon Sep 22 2005 09:14 PM

So we got Floyd, Wright and Diaz in the 9th. if heilman does his job we got a chance

Zvon Sep 22 2005 09:20 PM

Last licks! :)

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 09:21 PM

Yeah, but Dontrelle has dominated Floyd, and we Jones has done the job this year. But we've gotten to him once. W L ERA G GS CG SHO SV SVO IP H R ER HR HBP BB SO 0 0 1.93 9 0 0 0 3 4 9.1 8 2 2 0 0 3 10

Somebody remind Jones about his 10-run inning against Phillie. Cliff, you do it.

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 09:28 PM

A lefty maybe should be pinch-hitting for Castro. Two outs.

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 09:29 PM

Mets eliminated from the division race.

Spacemans Bong Sep 22 2005 09:29 PM

Anybody who thinks the Met offense doesn't suck should watch this game.

Zvon Sep 22 2005 09:29 PM

my bad....that was a reliver. Wright reaches on error. Fish makin alot of errors these days. Cairo, of all people , ends it. EDIT^^--that had to be Castro, i guess. My eyes must be going Still,....NO SOUP FOR HIM!

KC Sep 22 2005 09:35 PM

Diaz is pretty agile, and has gotten a lot better in the outfield since early season. Hat-ing Diaz for that triple is a reach. He is a fourth outfielder at best right now on this team if everyone is healthy. Lose the hat.

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 09:39 PM

Judging the offense so decisively based on a Dontrelle Willis game is a reach also.

Zvon Sep 22 2005 09:48 PM

well,.....I just hope Wright starts kaboom'in again. Ill settle for afew more dingers from him over the remainder of the season.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 22 2005 10:05 PM

Once I decide that I hat someone it takes a whole heck of a lot to get me to un-hat him.

KC Sep 22 2005 10:15 PM

Yeah, ok Mrs. D-dad

Elster88 Sep 22 2005 10:46 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 22 2005 10:48 PM

Not much to report. The crowd was calling for Mike before his pinch hit appearance, and went nuts when he climbed out of the dugout. I didn't hear a single boo when he struck out either. He woulda got massacred last year for that strike out. I'm going to miss him when he's gone. Anyone else down for a Piazza/Jacobs platoon next year? Quickest game I've ever been too. The Met hitters looked awful all game. Diaz looks as slow as frozen molasses.

Elster88 Sep 22 2005 10:48 PM

Oh, and they did another Mike Piazza memory: his homerun off the top of the camera tower in center on 8/21/01.

Elster88 Sep 22 2005 10:50 PM

Didn't Hojo hit 41?

Frayed Knot Sep 22 2005 11:12 PM

Diaz didn't do anything wrong on that ball - like take a new and interesting scenic route to the destination as he sometimes does - he just never got there. Sure Cammy puts that in his back pocket, but I can't kill Diaz for missing it. Piazza's getting the send-off greeting from fans - all of whom will deny ever booing him for not winning the triple crown in his first weeks here. Which got to to thinking about players over say the last 5 years that have NOT had a significant segment of fans hate them at some point: Olerud, Fonzie, Wright, Reyes, Pedro. Then there's the list of those who have felt the wrath: Everyone else.

Edgy DC Sep 22 2005 11:24 PM

I'm so OK with Wright --- and this goes double for Jacobs and Diaz --- not getting more homers. It can be dismaying when a young hitter comes up as an all-round hitter, with his power cut developing relatively late, but then gets a few home run trots, likes them, and leaves behind the broader ability and approach that they climbed the ladder with. Wright is perfectly welcome to keep doubling to right center and walk away with a team record. The homers can then come as pitchers adjust to him and he to them.

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2005 07:14 AM

Well said, Edgy. As long as they keep trying to drive the ball, the home runs will come. If they start trying to pull everything and swing for the fences, generally a slump will ensue.

Rotblatt Sep 23 2005 08:34 AM

I totally agree, Edgy. FWIW, Ted Williams, for example, was never really a home run hitter. He was a line drive man who happened to hit home runs. Not to suggest that Wright will be anywhere near the hitter that Williams was (Williams was hitting .406 when he was 22 & had 91 career HR and 120 2B already), but I'm all for Wright taking a page or two from his book. Tough loss. I'm glad I missed the whole thing. I hope our offense rebounds tonight.

Edgy DC Sep 23 2005 08:42 AM

I more fear that this is happening with Diaz. He won two batting average titles in the minors before his power stroke came. Right now, he's a .259 hitter with occasional power.
