This is the end. (10/2/05 igt)

Johnny Dickshot Oct 02 2005 01:19 PM

Piazza batting cleanup. Zambrano allowed a HR, 2 singles, a SB and 2 runs thus far.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 01:26 PM

I disagreed a lot with Willie Randolph. I was disappointed with Carlos Beltran. But I think this is one of those Met teams I'll look back on with particular affinity.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 01:26 PM

I agree. I'm going to miss this season when it's gone.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 01:28 PM

So this is the end Time to say good-bye So this is the end Where do we go Where did all the time go So where do we go From here So this is the end Have you come to be my friend Time to say good-bye So this is the end Will you stay until the end So this is the end We'll be coming back again

Introducing Piazza with some funk music. Supposedly they're playing the same music he chose when he was first introduced back in 1998.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 01:34 PM

I'm going to pretend you're kidding, and that you didn't realize that was Hendrix. The biggest metalhead to hit major league baseball since Phil Lynott hit .288 for the Phillies in 1973, and he picked funk music for his first AB as a Met? I think not.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 01:38 PM

I don't have a very good speaker maybe. It's not like Hendrix didn't have the funk.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 01:41 PM

Fair point. My post sounds much dickier than I intended it to. I apologize.

Johnny Dickshot Oct 02 2005 01:44 PM

Back-to-fuckin-back.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 01:44 PM

Mike Jacobs says... and then Victor Diaz says... "Oh, yeah?"

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 01:45 PM

Victor Diaz saying, "No way another rookie out-homers me this season."

Fran Healy on catching: "You know what? You want to add about five years onto your career, if you can hit, get away from home plate. (Catching, that is.)" There's some truth there, I guess. But it's just as true that, if you can't hit much, catching can add five years. Look at Rick Cerone, Alberto Castillo, and... Fran Healy!

"Mullet" Zeile is in the house; they just tried to interview him, but Matt's microphone went out.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 01:55 PM

Two drives up the middle.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 02:01 PM

Not Zambrano's day.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 02:07 PM

Just showed interviews with peeps about what they loved about Piazza. This 50ish-year-old Columbian woman: "He should rehtire as a Met. I DON'T HWANT TO SEE HIM GO!" (weeping.)

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 02:08 PM

All this ceremony is really greasing the skids, by the way. I think that must bother him a little.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 02:20 PM

(Psst. Aaron. Groove one.)

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 02:34 PM

Zambrano, despite sucking today, has 7 K's. His ball is really moving all over the place. If he could only harness that, I'd ask him to close in '06.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 02:37 PM

Shouldna let him come to the plate.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 02:40 PM

First game of this series without a Korean starting on the mound for one of the teams, after Kim, Kim, and Seo.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 02:46 PM

A dive by Victor Diaz gives Cliff Cook a triple from a single. Victor not helping Victor and Rocks go up 5-2.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 02:52 PM

Hey! Heath Bell! I remember the Mets used to have a guy with that name who used to pitch once in a while.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 02:54 PM

I don't get something. At the end of the season, shouldn't a starter get pulled at the first sign of trouble? Why waste more than one at-bat keeping him in the game when (1) the team is behind, (2) he's not particularly effective, (2) the staff is extended by the expanded roster, and (4) nobody has to pitch tomorrow. Anyhow, Zam's out now , with a 6-2 deficit.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 02:58 PM

CLIFFY!

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 02:58 PM

Ka-Liff! Ka-Boom! But nuttin' for Piazza.

mlbaseballtalk Oct 02 2005 02:59 PM

[list=] Ka-Boom from Cliff[/list]

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 03:00 PM

And that's for Cliff. Helluva season from the big guy.

MFS62 Oct 02 2005 03:10 PM

I feel like I'm at the opera. How many solos (soli?) can we see? Can't anyone hit a homer (or any other kind of hit, for that matter) with someone on base? Later

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 03:12 PM

Crap. Subtle balk called on Bell. Seven-three. Don't just want Mike now. Need him.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 03:13 PM

I hate losing the last game of the year. Come on, fellas.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 03:14 PM

Nine-three. Almost un-Mike-able.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 03:17 PM

Well, at least Danny Graves is in the game now, in to face the hottest hitter in the NL in the second half. I guess Willie's not so much on the winning today.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 03:17 PM

And no sooner do I hit "submit" than Helton puts one into the Rockies bullpen. Sigh.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 03:18 PM

H ell, elton omers! Eleven- three.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 03:24 PM

That was a nice tribute. Give him one more AB... and come on, Rockies... throw him a couple of BP fastballs, see how far he can hit it. Just for old times' sake.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 03:33 PM

Willie, all wrong. All wrong.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 03:35 PM

Horribly wrong. What an anticlimax, after all that. Jeez. Get the guy one more freaking AB.

cooby Oct 02 2005 03:35 PM

Wow, very surprising. I think he'll be back next year.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 03:36 PM

It may be the way he wanted it. But come the Hell on.

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 03:43 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Oct 02 2005 05:29 PM

Holy heck. I''ve spotted a DiFelice hit. That's almost as shocking as the season being extended by the Mike Glavine hit.

seawolf17 Oct 02 2005 03:53 PM

Hey! It's HoJo, coaching first base and wearing #52!

Edgy DC Oct 02 2005 03:54 PM

Should be coaching third.

cooby Oct 02 2005 03:59 PM

Nice to see Cameron in one piece again.

Willie on the post-game said he and Mike had talked about lifting him late in the game if it was out of reach, he wanted the fans to get that last chance to show the love.

MFS62 Oct 02 2005 04:29 PM

And Jake finishes with a BA over .300. As they say, he was a triple shy of the cycle. What else does this guy have to do to get serious considerationn for the 1B job next year? I hope they don't go out and get someone who just puts up similar stats (e.g.- Overbay) just for the sake of bringing in someone "experienced". Later

metirish Oct 02 2005 04:35 PM

Question, the Giants have been on the WFAN all day, so did Gary and Howie get to do this game at all?

Valadius Oct 02 2005 04:35 PM

The season's over. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

]Willie on the post-game said he and Mike had talked about lifting him late in the game if it was out of reach, he wanted the fans to get that last chance to show the love. Didn't work out that way, though, did it? Gave them a last chance to show their disappointment.

metirish Oct 02 2005 06:51 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Oct 02 2005 10:45 PM

Yeah is was a curious move, Willie had a tough time explaing the reason for it, made some references about this is how he used Mike all year, he seemed to get a little edgy when talking about the move...he also siad that it was his plan to give Mike 2 or 3 AB's and lift him, except if it was a close game...certainly took everyone by surprise.

ScarletKnight41 Oct 02 2005 06:57 PM

The guy sitting next to me simply said, "Willie doesn't care about us."
