I would like to see Willie hit Beltran second, maybe it takes pressure of him, with this long home-stand a good start is vital I think for him, fucking fans are all over him, has he had a hit yet?

KC Apr 06 2006 07:02 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 06 2006 07:03 PM

I'm willing to give Carlos 20 games wherever wwsb sticks him. There were people slitting their wrists on the radio today over this. We're married to the guy for 5 more years after this, start praying and stop booing is what I'm preachin'.

Gwreck Apr 06 2006 07:02 PM

Oh no. ESPN broadcasters are Berman and Morgan. Over/under for when I puncture my own eardrums: 5th inning.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 06 2006 07:14 PM

Pedro faces the minimum in the first - Vidro's single is erased by an inning ending double play.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 06 2006 07:15 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 06 2006 07:16 PM

7 pitches, 3 outs. NICE. Looking crappy with rows of empty seats behind the plate and black unis. But the shiny two-tone helmets are the worst. So NFL. Actually today is all black but all shiny. Japan had the right idea with matte finish domes in the WBC. We oughta knock around Ortiz. Big Game.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 06 2006 07:15 PM

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but has the facial hair ban been officially lifted? I see lots of thin, neat goatees surfacing. Pedro needs some hair under there as the poor fella has no chin. They're wearing black today. I guess after seeing the helmets a few times, I don't really mind them, but I still hate the black tops. Edit: 2-tone helmets gone for the day. Still have the fish gills, but they're all black.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 06 2006 07:17 PM

Reyes leads off with a broken bat dying quail.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 06 2006 07:29 PM

Wright wrocks.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 06 2006 07:29 PM

Mr. Wright singles in Beltran for the second run of the inning :)

ScarletKnight41 Apr 06 2006 07:31 PM

Cliff pops up to end the inning. 2-0 Mets after one.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 06 2006 07:37 PM

That ball should have been caught. Hernandez covered a lot of ground but like yesterday fielding the throw seemed to slow up once he got near Nady. Nady seemed to take his time getting over -- ball was in the air for ages.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 06 2006 07:40 PM

I-walk to Schneider is a wuss move.

metirish Apr 06 2006 07:41 PM

Yeah and the Mets pay for that....

ScarletKnight41 Apr 06 2006 07:42 PM

Damn - a single by the pitcher Ortiz coupled with a Pedro throwing error ties the game 2-2.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 06 2006 07:42 PM

See? 2 runs score as a result, lineup turned over, everything. It's the 2nd fucking inning. Pedro pitching and you're walking Brian F. Schneider. Moronic.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 06 2006 07:44 PM

Watson, wearing Mr. Met's 00, strikes out to end the top of the second. 2-2 after one and a half.

TransMonk Apr 06 2006 07:45 PM

I agree...make Schneider beat you. Pitcher leading off an inning used to be something golden. Crappy D cost the lead.

Rotblatt Apr 06 2006 07:46 PM

Pedro looks great. I take back everything I said about Willie. He's still a moron. Why on earth would you EVER tell Pedro what to do in the 2nd inning of a game when you've got a 2-0 lead? Especially when he looks good? Let the man do what he does, for Christ's sake.

Rotblatt Apr 06 2006 07:59 PM

Oh, man do I love watching Pedro pitch. The man is a goddamn genius.

KC Apr 06 2006 08:18 PM

What did Willie tell Pedro?

Willets Point Apr 06 2006 08:19 PM

That was one butt-kissin' interview of Jeff Wilpon.

Willets Point Apr 06 2006 08:21 PM

Bean ball wars are only fun if Pedro can grab Zimmer by the ears and throw him down.

KC Apr 06 2006 08:24 PM

Actually I've never seen that before. Ball bounces off the pitcher's toe & the mound and goes straight up in the air.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 06 2006 08:28 PM

Anderson Hernandez cannot hit. At all.

Hernandez is a waste of a lineup spot. He's the new Rey.

RBI Single for Pedro! 3-2 Mets!

PED-RO!

Willets Point Apr 06 2006 08:30 PM

And I got quoted twice in on thread in the same inning. Vamos Pedro Vamos!

OlerudOwned Apr 06 2006 08:31 PM

So Pedro is a better hitter than Hernandez. Maybe we should bat the pitchers 8th.

I love the Mets, 5 to 2.....Gary Cohen is freaking great on pbp.

A double play ends the innings, but the Mets are up 5-2 :)

Benches clear as Guillen is hit for the second time of the night/third time of the series.

Whenever Pedro is involved in these fracases he always just looks bored.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 06 2006 08:40 PM

We haven't had a brawl in years!

Elster88 Apr 06 2006 08:41 PM

It looked like about five different people tried to explain to Guillen how the game of baseball works.

Elster88 Apr 06 2006 08:41 PM

So what have we learned this week CPFers? Bret never uses statistics to back up his contentions about Piazza and Jose Guillen is still a moron.

This is one of those times when Frank Robinson wishes he was still MLB disciplinarian.

Watch the replay, get out of the way stupid. Who was it? Willie Mays, I think used to say you can't hit me.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 06 2006 08:44 PM

FuckShit! Johnson homers to tie the game :(

Elster88 Apr 06 2006 08:44 PM

You think maybe now Guillen understands why Pedro wasn't throwing at him on purpose? I don't.

OlerudOwned Apr 06 2006 08:44 PM

Eh, if I was Guillen I'd probably be just a little ticked by now too. It's a loooong season, Jose

Rotblatt Apr 06 2006 08:46 PM

Bah. Petey doesn't like the cold. His velocity is pretty good but he can't throw his change or curve. When does it get warm again?

Elster88 Apr 06 2006 08:48 PM

After the homerun, the entire crowd is getting behind Pedro and cheering him on. Huge cheer after his strikeout following the home run. So there's no racial motivation behind the boos that Beltran is hearing. Most likely it's a lack of brain power motivating those jeers. Exhibit A: Joe Beningo agrees with the booing.

GYC Apr 06 2006 08:50 PM

Ted Barrett, home plate ump hit in the throat when Guillen was hit the second time. Larynx is swelling, so he's going out. Rick Reed to take over behind the plate. Delay is so he can change. 3 Umps to work duration of game.

Not the blown-save part (I'm OK with that -- it happens) but that they stuck the bats up their asses for most of the game. I agree with this wholeheartedly. One nice change from last year is that we're playing from ahead these first three games. I might be proven wrong by actual numbers, but it felt like they played from behind in the games that they didn't hit well in.

abogdan Apr 06 2006 10:02 PM

I think we all know that Anderson Hernandez is catching something of a break because they booed his predecessor into distraction, and so they recognize to an extent their responsibility to the situation, and that he's a minimum wage-earning easily-disposeable non-threat to them.

Reyes has a gapper it's a stand up triple.

Watson (.083) is giving Andy Hernandy a run for struggling rookie of the week.

The Mets hit 4 batters... The Natonals hit one.... the Nationals pitcher gets the boot... the rules aren't fair sometimes.

Is Lo Duca alright?

metirish Apr 06 2006 10:15 PM

Lo Duca is fine Edgy, he's a tough kid form Brooklyn.

Hasn't Nick Johnson been getting hit at a ridonculous rate since A-Ball?

abogdan Apr 06 2006 10:17 PM

I'm liking this brewing Nats/Mets feud.

metirish Apr 06 2006 10:17 PM

Yeah it seems that way Edgy, he does stand over the plate though.

Nymr83 Apr 06 2006 10:17 PM

Yes, he probably has a shot at Biggio's record if he plays long enough.

Correction: Warnings had in fact been issued, Frank Robinson also ejected.

Edgy DC Apr 06 2006 10:23 PM

OK, Beltran is no Brooklyn boy. Is he alright?

GYC Apr 06 2006 10:23 PM

Can we give Schaefer points to players who didn't play, i.e. Franco for leadership?

The radio anouncers made a better point- Robinson was already automatically ejected because of the warning issued earlier to both benches.

Oops. Gameday suggested that Beltran was hit also. Guess not.

"yankees suck" chant quickly drowned out, its fine when they are playing here but why the fuck is that being chanted at a mets-nats game? Floyd batting with 1st and 2nd 2-out

ScarletKnight41 Apr 06 2006 10:32 PM

The fans in foul territory make sure that Nick Fucking Johnson doesn't have a shot at Clliff's foul ball.

metirish Apr 06 2006 10:33 PM

Keith talking about how when he was 19 and a roomie of Ron Hunts he learned to never drink Kalua again, Ron was a White Russian kinda guy....I love Keith.

Edgy DC Apr 06 2006 10:33 PM

I'd get Endy off the bench to pinch-run for Lo Duca. That way he and Castro don't miss the series.

Nymr83 Apr 06 2006 10:34 PM

good for them. opposing players should not be allowed to catch anything in the stands (i'm not saying you should hit them or anything, just dont get out of their way.)

Rotblatt Apr 06 2006 10:34 PM

Mets fans full of piss and vinegar. They keep chanting "Yankees suck." Which is true, but not particularly relevant. They're not even playing tonight. I suppose with Beltran off their shit list and Matsui on the DL, they've got to boo SOMEONE.

You and Willie both apparently. Castro and Oliver remain strangers to 2006 as Bradford gets the ball.

Win each series. Two out of three. Fine. Pedro gets the win. Sanchez looks good. Lots to like. Lo Duca does little offensively, but gets hit and restrains Guillen. Starting to like him. Let's Go!!

Edgy DC Apr 06 2006 10:45 PM

BAMMER!

ChadBrad finishes off the game with back-to-back strikeouts. The Mets Win! The Mets Win!

The Nye Mets — my favorite squadron. Good show.

Nymr83 Apr 06 2006 10:46 PM

good win, i'm happy with this series but the sweep would have been better. This schedule is soft early so we need to really take advantage. the starting pitching is suspect so a cushion would be nice for that week where everyone implodes. 2-1!

LoDuca looks like he knows what he's doing at the plate. Not an easy out and pretty good bat control. I'd still rather have Beltran up there, but I can see where Willie's coming from. Of course, when LoDuca cools down, we'll see how I feel . . .

Johnny Dickshot Apr 06 2006 11:11 PM

The DP he hit into -- after getting a dropped foul-pop gifted to him -- loomed large for a bit tho.

]Hey, I'd call 2-3 with a walk pretty darn good offensively Enjoy it now. I have a feeling we won't be enjoying LoDuca hitting in the #2 hole much once August rolls around: Career OPS by month: April: .800 May: .803 June: .826 July: .784 August: .699 September: .620

metirish Apr 06 2006 11:36 PM

That Lo Duca likes his pitchers to pitch in high and tight, love that stuff.

TheOldMole Apr 07 2006 08:04 AM

Won't he be too old to be a manager?

holychicken Apr 07 2006 08:16 AM

I absolutely love how when Guillen charged out with the bat, Pedro just stood there motionless staring at him. How can he not get in your head?

Yancy Street Gang Apr 07 2006 08:46 AM

I was thinking the same thing, chicken. I didn't participate in the IGT because I watched the game on TiVo delay, but I wanted to post a few observations this morning, and that was one of them. Most pitchers react in some way when a batter approaches the mound. Pedro's motionless glare was very cool. The whole Beltran homer thing made for good TV. As he was rounding the bases, something in his face led me to think he'd refuse a curtain call. (I remember George Foster refusing a curtain call once. I think it was a Sunday game in 1986 that I attended, where Foster hit 2 homers. And I do hope that there won't be too many more reasons to link Beltran and Foster!) Anyway, I loved watching Franco talking to Beltran. I wish I was a better lip reader; I'm curious to know what he was saying. From body language, it looked like, "What the hell are you doing? How can you not go out there? Get out there!" It occurs to me that when Willie Randolph is replaced, whenever that may be, his successor may already be in the Mets dugout. It was a fun game to watch. I can only imagine how Frank Robinson felt after seeing his players get plunked time after time, and when a Met finally got hit, he and the pitcher get rejected. I seem to remember years ago there were rumors that the NBA referees where under orders to make calls in favor of the Knicks so that the league could have a strong healthy presence in New York. I wonder if something like this could start similar rumors about the Mets. Especially since Sanchez hit a batter after the warning was issued, and he wasn't ejected. Also, finally, did I hear Keith Hernandez refer to Pedro's dwarf as a "monkey"? Our Keith isn't big on political correctness, is he? Now I'll read through the IGT and see if everything I mentioned was already addressed.

Elster88 Apr 07 2006 09:06 AM

]"Those pitches just got away. That pitch wasn't really that far in, except he leans over," Martinez said. "I think he overreacted a little bit, especially going out there with the bat. I can understand it if you're frustrated or mad or something. You want to charge, you charge. But don't bring your bat out there. I wasn't scared anyway."

Elster88 Apr 07 2006 10:35 AM

="Frayed Knot"]First he goes out there with the bat, and then starts the 'Lemme at 'em' charge precisiely at the moment that he's grabbed by two sets of hands and knows there's no way he'll ever reach his target. I hate this too. The absolute definition of a pussy.
