Nationals Marlon Byrd CF Jose Vidro 2B Alfonso Soriano LF Nick Johnson 1B Jose Guillen RF Brian Schneider C Royce Clayton SS Damian Jackson 3B Ramon Ortiz P Mets Reyes LoDuca Beltran Delgado Wright Floyd Nady Matsui Zambrano

Willets Point May 01 2006 07:26 PM

Is there a game going on or what?

TransMonk May 01 2006 07:31 PM

A 7-pitch 2nd for Zambrano as the Nats go down 1-2-3. 0-0 through 1 1/2.

OlerudOwned May 01 2006 07:37 PM

What gives? I figured there'd be 10 runs up by now.

OlerudOwned May 01 2006 07:47 PM

Nady is the first Met to reach base, with a leadoff double to center.

Gwreck May 01 2006 07:52 PM

Big opportunity as we get past Zambrano (HBP) without an out. C'mon Jose.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 07:52 PM

Zambrano hit by the pitch: That's the defense's best defense against a squeeze play, executed too well.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 07:56 PM

Dagnabbit, wasting a leadoff double eats ass.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 08:35 PM

I'm blacked out. Warrior is angry.

The Big O May 01 2006 08:37 PM

VeeZee's line through 5: 1 ER 5 hits 4 K's 2 BBs

Edgy DC May 01 2006 08:38 PM

Jose dubblez. Jose like tripplez. Jose is out.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 08:39 PM

Lo Duca dubblez. Jose feelz much shame.

TransMonk May 01 2006 08:40 PM

Reyes costs a run with his feet. LoDuca on 2nd with 2 outs. 1-0 Nats bottom 5. Soriano should back up.

ScarletKnight41 May 01 2006 08:50 PM

Carlos Delgado says - and ties the game 1-1 in the 6th.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 08:50 PM

Carlos Delgado says "Shift this!" And eats a bowl of clown-loved cereal.

TransMonk May 01 2006 08:51 PM

Carlos [Delgado] goes KABOOM!!! 1-1 bottom 6

TheOldMole May 01 2006 08:51 PM

OlerudOwned May 01 2006 08:52 PM

That Delgado fellow is all right.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 08:52 PM

Little late with that nutritous breakfast.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 08:53 PM

Up to Kazoo here to clear the pitcher. Hassn't had a strong homecoming with the stick yet.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 08:54 PM

Nice rip, Kazoo. Jose Valentin, save your job.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 08:55 PM

Somebody please tell me those suckazz are giving him the standing O-ball that he deserves.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 08:58 PM

Victor Zambrano is out after 90 pitches. His ERA is own from 9.64 to 7.20. Valentin can give him a chance to win.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 08:59 PM

Nuts. Valentin hit it hard, but right at Guillen. We let Ortiz off easy. One more inning and we'll start murdering him

OlerudOwned May 01 2006 08:59 PM

Poo.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 09:01 PM

Pete Goodyear in. Victor has little to be ashamed of but won;t get a win.

Willets Point May 01 2006 09:02 PM

Gary says that Zambrano earned a lot of points tonight. Do you think he means Schaefer points?

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:04 PM

The vastly entertaining Washington bullpen awaits. Aggh! A monster.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:06 PM

so much for impartial anouncers, this just in from McCarthy on WFAN: "Jackson has really struggled lately for the Nationals, lets hope the struggles continue..."

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 09:08 PM

Livan Hernandez in the game... to Pinch hit.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:08 PM

Livan Hernandez will pinch hit, i guess with nobody on they don't want to burn a real hitter?

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 09:10 PM

Ithink the main thought was that there were 2 outs

Willets Point May 01 2006 09:18 PM

Here's the guy the Scarlett hated having sex with.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:19 PM

i sortof have to question using 2 guys to get through an inning in a tie game, that could bite the nationals if we go extras (which is ok with me of course)

TransMonk May 01 2006 09:25 PM

GAWD, Sanchez is good.

GYC May 01 2006 09:26 PM

Duaner for MVP.

Willets Point May 01 2006 09:28 PM

IDuaner

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 09:29 PM

Right in the crack.

TheOldMole May 01 2006 09:29 PM

We can beat Stanton, right?

Willets Point May 01 2006 09:30 PM

Johnny Dickshot wrote: Right in the crack. Nah, got some cheek. As in, "That Stanton sure got some cheek hitting Delgado with the ball like that."

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:33 PM

can anyone else hit one tonight? it sounded like Floyd crushed the bal...

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:34 PM

Cliff, singles and doubles are cool too.

Willets Point May 01 2006 09:34 PM

Ratfuck!

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:36 PM

Good move to bring in Majewski. Nady v. Stanton was looking sweet. Burn that bullpen. Burn it.

Willets Point May 01 2006 09:36 PM

"Trouble of late" sounds good.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:37 PM

we're through 8 and nothing doing... julio franco will go kaboom for the pitcher in the 9th.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:40 PM

bad move by Willie not double-switching to have Wagner available for a 2nd inning.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:41 PM

Wagner: Three pitches agus three strikes to Nick the Stick. G'night.

Willets Point May 01 2006 09:42 PM

A Bugs Bunny whiff by Guillen. Hee hee.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:42 PM

Jose Guillen. One-two-three strikesy'erout!

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:44 PM

Brian Schneider has enough heart to put it in play. All the way back to the pitcher. Heckuvan efficient workday for Wags. Let's get him out while he's still fresh and get him a win.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 09:45 PM

Give us a sayonara kaboom, Kaz.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:45 PM

He's out anyway, due up 2nd in the inning. I think you MUST double switch in Chavez/Diaz for Nady (who made the last out) there but its too late now.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:46 PM

By the way, it's not good that Washington is batting Schneider sixth.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:47 PM

Do it again, Julio.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:49 PM

Julio Franco draws a walk... Chavez will pinch-run

TheOldMole May 01 2006 09:49 PM

Julio on base! (Well, briefly) Endy on base!

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:49 PM

be patient Reyes, its worth letting Chavez have a chance to take 2nd

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:49 PM

Julio walks. Pinch-run Koo!

Rockin' Doc May 01 2006 09:50 PM

Julio Franco draws a walk. Go ahead run on base with one out for the top of the order. Let's put an end to this game.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:51 PM

a single moves Chavez to 2nd...

Willets Point May 01 2006 09:51 PM

Oldest player to draw a walk in the ninth inning of a tie game?

TheOldMole May 01 2006 09:52 PM

How about that?

Rockin' Doc May 01 2006 09:52 PM

Lots of speed on the bases for the Mets after Reyes singles. A gapper could be two runs.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:52 PM

LMAO, a gift-wrapped double play ball and he throws it into center field! its good to be lucky.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:53 PM

]A gapper could be two runs. unless the ball goes over the fence the game will end instantly o the first runn

Willets Point May 01 2006 09:53 PM

Gift win! I'll take it!

seawolf17 May 01 2006 09:53 PM

Mets win! Mets win! Mets win!

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:53 PM

TransMonk May 01 2006 09:53 PM

I love playing Washington!

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:54 PM

Can we give Majeski a point or two in the Schaeffer? lol

Edgy DC May 01 2006 09:56 PM

Forgive me, father. I have failed you. Me angry me no pitch!

Nymr83 May 01 2006 09:57 PM

The top of the 1st in Arizona: ]R Furcal flied out to center. K Lofton safe at third on error by right fielder S Green. J Drew grounded out to first, K Lofton scored. J Kent struck out looking. now thats tough luck pitching

Hillbilly May 01 2006 09:57 PM

Nice 9th inning walk-off win. Even if it was lucky!

ScarletKnight41 May 01 2006 10:00 PM

Luck favors the prepared mind :) Yea - We Win!

GYC May 01 2006 10:00 PM

Can someone re-cap the bottom of the 9th? I was watching 24 and trying to follow game at the same time. It didn't work.

Rockin' Doc May 01 2006 10:01 PM

Nymr83 - "unless the ball goes over the fence the game will end instantly o the first runn" Damn, I had a brain freeze in the heat of battle. Somehow I kept thinking that Washington had another at bat. Glad the Mets won. We'll take the wins anyway we can get them.

Nymr83 May 01 2006 10:03 PM

yeah, absent a serious injury to a Met player theres no bad wins.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 10:08 PM

Matsui whiffs swinging Franco walks on 5 pitches --Chavez runs for Franco Reyes battles back from 0-2, singles to left, Chavez to 2nd LoDuca hard shit back to Majewski, tailor made DP but his throw spilts the uprights of Vidro & Clayton and goes to CF, Chavez scores w/o a throw

Rockin' Doc May 01 2006 10:08 PM

GYC - "Can someone re-cap the bottom of the 9th?..." Matsui struck out swinging. Julio Franco walked. Endy Chavez comes on to run for Franco. Jose Reyes singles to left field. Chavez advances to second. Paul LoDuca grounds into a fielder's choice to the pitcher. Chavez scored when the pitcher threw the ball into center field trying for a double play. Mets Win!!

TransMonk May 01 2006 10:08 PM

New York - Bottom of 9th Gary Majewski pitching for Washington K Matsui struck out swinging. J Franco hit for B Wagner. J Franco walked. E Chavez ran for J Franco. J Reyes singled to left, E Chavez to second. P Lo Duca grounded into fielder's choice to pitcher, E Chavez scored on throwing error by pitcher G Majewski, J Reyes safe at third on throwing error by pitcher G Majewski.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 10:10 PM

]Can someone re-cap the bottom of the 9th? I was watching 24 and trying to follow game at the same time. It didn't work. You know, there are going to be a lot of people clamouring for seats on the bandwagon pretty soon. We can't have that sort of behavior.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 10:13 PM

I'm pretty sure I won that race, plus I'm the only one who mispelled "shot" as "shit" and didn't bother to change it.

Rockin' Doc May 01 2006 10:15 PM

You not only had the fastest reply, but you also had the most entertaining description of the bottom of the ninth.

soupcan May 01 2006 10:17 PM

="GYC"]Can someone re-cap the bottom of the 9th? I was watching 24 and trying to follow game at the same time. It didn't work. Guilty as charged. Although the only at-bat I missed was LoDuca's.

You know, there are going to be a lot of people clamouring for seats on the bandwagon pretty soon. We can't have that sort of behavior. Yeah, especially since I missed Friday night's entire game except the 9th... but I think that if you miss a Mets game to go to a low-A ball Mets game on a windy 55 degree night, you should be excused. (Fernando Martinez is awesome. He gave me a thumbs up when I called his name in pre-game warmups.)

Frayed Knot May 01 2006 10:21 PM

The non double-switching for Wagner didn't suprise me so much as that he didn't go with Sanchez for a 2nd inning - especially since his one inning was pretty quick & clean and that you knew the end of the order would be coming up the following inning. I guess Willie was going w/the tactic of trying to use relievers more often for shorter stints, keeping Duaner & Wags available for the future games (no days off this week) w/o having to sit them due to a long outing. Bobby V used to work that way often also.

Johnny Dickshot May 01 2006 10:23 PM

Can't argue with the reults neither. Not tonite.

Edgy DC May 01 2006 10:27 PM

Great reults. ]Yeah, especially since I missed Friday night's entire game except the 9th... but I think that if you miss a Mets game to go to a low-A ball Mets game on a windy 55 degree night, you should be excused. (Fernando Martinez is awesome. He gave me a thumbs up when I called his name in pre-game warmups.) This isn't about Friday. You're reframing the argument and trying to take advantage of my ADD here. You're not the fir.. Oh, look, something shiny....

Post the Suns info in the Suns thread... NOW!!!!

Edgy DC wrote: Forgive me, father. I have failed you. Me angry me no pitch! Edgy, this made me laugh and laugh and laugh . . . Good form. And great IGT everyone! A fine way to get caught up. I'm glad Zambrano pitched well. I really think he can be an average pitcher. And I mean that in the positive, average-has-significant-value way.
