Johnny Dickshot Apr 26 2006 03:14 PM

I'm beginning to think there's very little difference between LoDuca and Castro, which I suppose is a good thing made better when our catcher isn't batting second.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 03:16 PM

I'm really getting tired of seeing Endy Chavez in the starting lineup.

TransMonk Apr 26 2006 03:26 PM

Brewers on their way to sweeping the Braves 5-2 in the 7th and Washington getting shutout by those red hot Reds 5-0 in the 8th. Would be a great day for another win.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 03:34 PM

With the Franco avatar, every time I see Yancy I think he's SI Metman.

KC Apr 26 2006 03:34 PM

I keep thinking Yancy is SI Metman

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 03:36 PM

Wow, that's like Oprah weird.

Frayed Knot Apr 26 2006 03:36 PM

When I hear CF talk I think it's KC - they always say the same thing.

Willets Point Apr 26 2006 03:36 PM

ECHO...echo...echo...echo

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 03:38 PM

Jose leads off with a 3-2 walk.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 03:40 PM

And then gets picked off.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 03:41 PM

NOT what he had in mind!

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 03:42 PM

Ok, for real, everyone stop copying me. On Edit: Well damnit, now my post doesn't make any sense.

]Wow, that's like Oprah weird. I've been thinking it for two weks and many a post. Somebody finally mentions it and somebody else does at the exact same time. Wow. Extra goofy in that (a) Metman hasn't sported Franco for a while, I think, and, (b) Yancy first showed up in part to upbraid Metman for referencing the portrait featured in that avatar at UMDB.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 03:51 PM

If Alou walks here, it will be a typical Bannister inning. 2-0 as I type.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 03:54 PM

Alou doubles. 1-0 Giants, second and third, 1 out.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 03:54 PM

Keith's not a Bannister fan. He loves Castro.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 03:56 PM

Good job by Bannister to get out of it.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 03:56 PM

Very nice running catch by Matsui in foul territory to end the inning.

old original jb Apr 26 2006 03:57 PM

I find Bannister hard to watch in the way that people sometimes found John Franco hard to watch, except that with Bannister, you have to watch for more than half the game.

Elster88 Apr 26 2006 03:58 PM

MATSUI SUCKS!!!

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:00 PM

Cliff robbed of a double, maybe a homer by Randy Winn.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 26 2006 04:00 PM

The Metman protrait fiasco b egan with SIM borrowing UMDB's Franco portrait, but the smiling Johnny was offered by me to him to smooth relations (I scanned it & published it without permission from a baseball card).

Castro gets the double with two out. Can Endy drive in the tying run?

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:03 PM

Up to BB now as Chavez walks.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:06 PM

Bannister grounds out to first, dropping the batting average of Mets pitchers all the way down to .231.

Elster88 Apr 26 2006 04:08 PM

How about that Castro?

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:10 PM

Infield single for Feliz, Matheny double to left. This might be the day when Bannister finally turns into a pumpkin.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:10 PM

Nice diving stop by Reyes, but then he juggles the ball. Runner safe at first.

Goofier still: As KC and I were posting identical thoughts about Yancy/SI Metman, Yancy and Willets were making identical points about satire in the Caple thread. Also at 2:34 p.m.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:18 PM

Sac fly for Vizquel, then a fly out by Vizcaino. 2-0 Giants Bannister holds off pumpkin time, but he continues to be a marvel of inefficiency--42 pitches through 2.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 26 2006 04:21 PM

Delgado goes -

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:26 PM

Cliff flies out to deep center. How much is Cliff missing by on these?

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:27 PM

That homer by Delgado could have used a Ka-Splash!

Johnny Dickshot Apr 26 2006 04:28 PM

Yeah, these webtracker thingies make it sound like every flay ball pins an outfielder against the wall. According to it, all 3 outs were "deep" flies, I think.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:29 PM

Cliff's was short of the warning track, but it was in the deeper part of the outfield.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 04:31 PM

Bannister not looking so sharp today.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:32 PM

Thanks, Yance! Bannister gives up consecutive singles to Winn & Alou, and Finley follows with a sac fly. Niekro grounds out to third, Alou to second.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:36 PM

Did I hear Gary Cohen say that the Mets had signed Michael Tucker?

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:36 PM

Yeah, Bannister's high-wire act is kinda old at this point. Nady flies out "to deep right center."

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:38 PM

Yancy Street Gang wrote: Did I hear Gary Cohen say that the Mets had signed Michael Tucker? Yes, to a minor league contract, according to Rotoworld.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 04:38 PM

Two on with one out. Castro raising that average to .471.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:38 PM

Castro singles, then wow, Chavez doubles to center. Runners at second and third with one out for our intrepid starter.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:39 PM

And Bannister doubles to tie the score!

Nymr83 Apr 26 2006 04:39 PM

and BRIAN BANNISTER ties it up!

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 04:39 PM

And Bannister comes through. Nice.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:39 PM

Bannister may get Schaefer for his bat if not for his arm.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 04:40 PM

Bannister looking sharp today.

Willets Point Apr 26 2006 04:40 PM

Bannister wants to get some Schaeffer by any means necessary.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:40 PM

Holy shit. Go Brian Bannister go! Tied at 3 with the go-ahead run at second!

Willets Point Apr 26 2006 04:40 PM

Oh crap, now I'm echoing Yancy.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:40 PM

Rickey Henderson in the stands watching.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:41 PM

Reyes grounds to third for the second out. Let's see if Matsui can put the Mets ahead.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 26 2006 04:41 PM

Bannister. He's the Mannister.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:41 PM

Pops back to the catcher. Matsui, that is.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:45 PM

Well, shoot. Morris up to 78 pitches already.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:46 PM

Bannister gets the lead-off man out for the second time today.

Willets Point Apr 26 2006 04:48 PM

Well that looked like a good inning for Bannister in gamecast.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:48 PM

. . . and retires 'em 1-2-3 for the first time. 63 pitches through 4.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 26 2006 04:49 PM

1-2-3 Good Lovin.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 04:50 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 26 2006 04:51 PM

First 1-2-3 inning for Bannister since his first start of the year, I think. Edit: Actually, it was the second start.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:50 PM

I'm really enjoying the Metdom of Carlos Delgado.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 26 2006 04:50 PM

(Leadoff double in the 5th)

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:50 PM

Delgado's HR in his last at bat was his first hit against Morris.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:52 PM

. . . and so he goes from 0-6 to 2-8. It's a day of firsts for the Mets.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 04:53 PM

Wright fails to advance the runner. Argh.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:55 PM

Wright's been struggling lately. I'd like to see him take a day off, but according to one of the rags this morning, one of Wright's heros is Ripken and he doesn't want to take a day off. Ever. Someone reading between the lines might think that Wright was also calling Beltran a pussy in that interview.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 26 2006 04:56 PM

Sounds like Wright could really use a groin massage, but who among us couldn't.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:57 PM

Nady flies out "to deep left." We're just missing an awful lot today.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 04:58 PM

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 05:00 PM

Papaya Head is retired for the first time today to end the threat. Morris is likely done after 5, as he's up to 97 pitches.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 05:02 PM

Jesus Bannister. Throw a strike.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 05:06 PM

We should stop walking people who bat in front of Alou.

Alou flies out to deep center and Vizcaino advances to third. Two more outs, big guy.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 05:11 PM

Finley pops up for out #2.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 05:11 PM

Come on, Mannister.

Willets Point Apr 26 2006 05:13 PM

Whew!

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 05:13 PM

86 pitches but he's batting 2nd. I figure he stays if Chavez can get his ass on base. Hard to say otherwise. Bullpen is pretty well-rested.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 05:14 PM

Whew. Niekro lines out to left to end the inning. Do we trot Bannister out there again? He's only at 86 pitches, but is due up second.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 05:15 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 26 2006 05:16 PM

He's on deck, nobody throwing in the pen. OE: And does bat.

Heilman should be ready to go, but Sanchez threw 27 pitches last night. Do we try Bradford out in a tie game? Or do we hope Heilman can stretch out to 3 innings?

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 05:17 PM

Bannister bats. The right call, I think. See if we can squeeze one more out of him, then go to Heilman.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 05:17 PM

Rotblatt wrote: Do we try Bradford out in a tie game? Or do we hope Heilman can stretch out to 3 innings? They had Bradford throwing. Heilman could go 2, I doubt 3 though.

Holy deja vu, Batman! Bannister doubles to deep right. I guess his pops wasn't lying when he said Bannister was a good hitter.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 05:18 PM

If we're going to be pinch hitting for anyone, it's Chavez and not Bannister.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 05:18 PM

Go Kaz!

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 05:18 PM

Oh no. Bannister down.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 05:19 PM

Big hit for Matsui. Shit, Bannister is limping home on the play and falls down.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 05:19 PM

Oooh, Kaz doubles in Bannister!

KC Apr 26 2006 05:19 PM

That looks bad - right hammy for Mannister. The last 55 feet home were painful to watch. Crapfart.

uh-oh. What happened?

Gwreck wrote: ScarletKnight -- is that Manny Ramirez in that kaboom picture? Hidden message perhaps? No hidden message. I needed an image for my class project, and that one fit.

Or do we send Heilman to the rotation and call up Bell to replace him?

Hillbilly Apr 26 2006 05:25 PM

Can we hope that it was a cramp?

Johnny Dickshot Apr 26 2006 05:25 PM

I think the Mets will be very reluctant to move Hielman again, and also they seem happy with his work there. Iriki or Gonzo seem more logical, if Bannister has to miss a few starts. Does he?

ScarletKnight41 Apr 26 2006 05:26 PM

Keith and Gary think it's a hammy. I give him credit for scoring the run despite his obvious pain.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 05:27 PM

Heilman takes over for the time being. Tough break for Bannister. Maybe he'll be back in a month or so . . .

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 05:32 PM

Willie remembers to double-switch, putting Woodward in at 2nd. Heilman looking good, as usual.

Rotblatt Apr 26 2006 05:33 PM

Good move by Willie there. Heilman with 2 K's and a ground out from the pinch hitter Sweeney.

Willets Point Apr 26 2006 05:41 PM

I just notice the MLB.TV browser has a button that says "BOSS". You click it and a letter to the Best Boss Awards pops up and covers up the game. It's a nice idea but they need to come up with something less blatant.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 26 2006 05:45 PM

It's a hammy. Keith is big on ice. And elevation. And Ace bandages.

Crap. There goes our lead.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 05:53 PM

3 righties due up, looks like Bradford to pitch the bottom of the 8th.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 05:55 PM

Alright, we'll take it any way we can. Endy on with the go-ahead run, no outs...

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 05:57 PM

Come on guys, get the run home. Win this game. It's a long way until first pitch in Atlanta.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 05:59 PM

2nd and 3rd now with 1 out. No word on the pinch hitter. Was he announced before the pitching change?

Gwreck--were you seriously praising a major league manager for remembering to double-switch? Or were you goofing on Willie? I don't know how to read your tone. Either way, it's pretty remarkable (that WWSB would get praise for such a simple thing, or that in his 182nd MLB game thst Met fans would be twitting him about his ineptness on such a broad scale.) He's making Art Howe look like a Mensa member, and Bud Harrelson like a Mensa president.

TheOldMole Apr 26 2006 06:37 PM

Error keeps the Giants alive and Bonds at the plate.

TheOldMole Apr 26 2006 06:37 PM

Shit. And Bonds ties the game.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 06:37 PM

Fuck.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 06:38 PM

Crapula.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 06:38 PM

Oops.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 26 2006 06:38 PM

FuckShit!

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 06:38 PM

Been a tough week for Wright.

duan Apr 26 2006 06:40 PM

was the throw a 'botch' or was it being forced to rush and trying to hard to get the out?

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 06:40 PM

David Wright, it is for you to return this win unto us.

TheOldMole Apr 26 2006 06:40 PM

It was a bad throw. A good throw has him.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 06:43 PM

No worries, it's Armando pitching. Reyes walks to get that go-ahead run on.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 06:45 PM

Reyes steals. Valentin should lay one down.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 06:47 PM

Intentional walk of Delgado gives Wright the chance for redemption.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 06:48 PM

Come on David, don't try to do too much.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 06:48 PM

Clear your mind, my son.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 06:49 PM

Jesus Christ Wright.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 06:50 PM

Now that choice of a bunt becomes huge.

duan Apr 26 2006 06:51 PM who'd you bring in for the tenth?

bradford's gotta be a possibilty with two righties to come up.

Gwreck Apr 26 2006 06:53 PM

Nice Steve Bieser reference by Howie as Reyes tries to induce the balk.

duan Apr 26 2006 06:55 PM

mando's gotta be about to give in at over 40 pitches.

TheOldMole Apr 26 2006 06:56 PM

Cliffie draws a walk.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 06:56 PM

Come on X man.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 06:57 PM

Forty three and he's staying in.

Hillbilly Apr 26 2006 06:58 PM

Mando's still in. I'm concerned because I don't tink this a big game.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 06:58 PM

Must not be. Mando survives it.

Hillbilly Apr 26 2006 06:59 PM

Damn, see what I mean. If this were a big game Cliff hits the grand slam.

Hillbilly Apr 26 2006 07:00 PM

or Nady if I was more careful about what I'm saying.

GYC Apr 26 2006 07:00 PM

Wright makes me angry. Bench him a game, regardless of the day off.

Centerfield Apr 26 2006 07:02 PM

Tying run on second. This has a chance to be a kick to the groin type loss we mastered last season.

duan Apr 26 2006 07:03 PM

fuck it. I'm game for Julio here.

cooby Apr 26 2006 07:03 PM

Arrgh! I thought 7-4 was safe to go eat supper!

duan Apr 26 2006 07:03 PM

oh man you really don't have bradford in against someone batting lefty

duan Apr 26 2006 07:06 PM

agh ..;. and now he has to throw against another switch hitter.

duan Apr 26 2006 07:09 PM

well at least Oliver can hit if it comes to that

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:12 PM

Ollie gets us out of it. Still two batters on the bench if Beltran is available. Wagner should have thrown Bonds the funk.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 26 2006 07:13 PM

MLB.TV take a crap for anyone else? The radio feed works fine, but no video.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:14 PM

I got nuttin' from mlb.com but the bills. Not true, I got Gameday.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:16 PM

Bless Chris Woodward's bald head.

HahnSolo Apr 26 2006 07:16 PM

Woody!

ScarletKnight41 Apr 26 2006 07:17 PM

Very nice!

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:17 PM

Bless Jose Reyes' squiddy head. Let's give Oliver and Julio a pad. Bonds-proof this sucka.

cooby Apr 26 2006 07:17 PM

I don't know what he did, but it scored two runs!

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:20 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 26 2006 07:22 PM

Woodie doubled in Castro from second. Reyes singled Woodie home, and stole second with Oliver staying in the game to hit. He grounded out for the second out.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:21 PM

Delgado walked to bring up Wright... ...again.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:22 PM

And he grounds out. Big time now for Ollie and perhaps Julio. Really big time.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:23 PM

Winn-Alou-Bonds comiing up.

duan Apr 26 2006 07:24 PM

i think Jorge Julio has got big balls and he'd fucking mow down whoever was in front of him tonight. Only thing is, with Oliver being a lefty you keep him in till after Bonds anyway.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:24 PM

Winn flies to center.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:25 PM

Alou grounds to Wright... who makes the play!

TheOldMole Apr 26 2006 07:26 PM

If only Bonds had done that the first time. But he does it now.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 07:27 PM

Bonds lines to deep center and it's over. A few innings late, but it's ours. Well done, posters. Oliver gobbles up a win.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 26 2006 07:29 PM

It's over! The damn thing is over!

duan Apr 26 2006 07:31 PM

go go Darren Oliver! Still there's quite a bit to throw in the WIllie Watch here I reckon ... Great win though 14-7's a pretty tasty start, even if we just get 1 from 3 in atlanta they'll be below .500 and we'll be well above.

cooby Apr 26 2006 07:34 PM

Exactly 48 hours until the next game...

Frayed Knot Apr 26 2006 07:37 PM

Well that was fun!

ScarletKnight41 Apr 26 2006 07:38 PM

I'm not happy that Wagner blew the save, but I am happy about the fact that the blown save didn't define the game. In the past few years, the Mets would not have been able to rebound from such a blow. It's nice to see that they can rally and pick up their closer after a less than stellar performance.

Blame that blown save on the inept third baseman, not the closer. Wagner should have had a 1-2-3 inning.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 26 2006 07:58 PM

The inept third baseman (whom I love) definitely contributed to the mess. But the gopher ball to Bonds was all Wagner.

Nymr83 Apr 26 2006 08:03 PM

being sick/tired sucks, i was drifting in and out all game, i seem to have awoken for all the times McCarthy/Rose raused their voices andfallen back asleep afterwards because i reember Bonds' HR and Franco's Single but little else.

cooby Apr 26 2006 08:06 PM

Feel better, 83

Edgy DC Apr 26 2006 08:17 PM

Yup.

Nymr83 Apr 26 2006 08:30 PM

thanks guys

ScarletKnight41 Apr 26 2006 08:31 PM

Feel better - being sick suxx.

mlbaseballtalk Apr 26 2006 08:58 PM

I was in a strip mall parking lot listening to the final out being recorded on my Walkman. I proceeded to yell "YEAH! TAKE THAT YA STEROID RIDDLED FREAK!"

Elster88 Apr 27 2006 12:22 PM

Afterward, nearly every teammate approached Wright to console him about the error, his fifth since last Wednesday. The win made the error easier to absorb, but Wright still approached Wagner to apologize. "Don't you ever apologize to me again," the closer instructed him.
