Atlanta Marcus Giles 2B Edgar Renteria SS Larry Jones 3B Andruw Jones CF Jeff Francoeur RF Brian Jordan 1B Brian McCann C Matt Diaz LF Kyle Davies P Mets Reyes SS LoDuca C Beltran CF Delgado 1B Wright 3B Floyd LF Nady RF Matsui 2B Trachsel P

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 07:17 PM

Fuckshit - blink and it's a 1-0 Braves lead. A double and two ground outs get the first Braves run across the plate.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 07:18 PM

MisspelledAndrew's errant swing hits LoDuca's wrist.

TransMonk May 05 2006 07:22 PM

I want to beat Davies bad...I hope we knock him around tonight.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 07:26 PM

Carlos Beltran says, "Fuck You Atlanta Lead!"

TransMonk May 05 2006 07:26 PM

KABOOM for Carlos! No, the other one.

cooby May 05 2006 07:29 PM

Nymr83 May 05 2006 07:29 PM

kaboom.

TransMonk May 05 2006 07:41 PM

Bravos take the lead back in the top of the second on a McCann double scoring BJ. 2-1 hated Braves after 1.5.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 08:07 PM

Trax strikes out MisspelledAndrew to end the top of the third. Still 2-1 bad guys.

GYC May 05 2006 08:09 PM

Reyes = fast.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 08:10 PM

Jose is on first with a bunt single.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 08:11 PM

Reyes to second on a wild pitch.

TransMonk May 05 2006 08:20 PM

Davies walks in a run in the 3rd. 2-2 tie, bases loaded, one out!

TransMonk May 05 2006 08:21 PM

Floyd promptly hits into a DP. 2-2 end of three.

Gwreck May 05 2006 08:27 PM

Aflac Trivia (from TBS): Who is the only player to have played in the World Series for 4 different teams?

TransMonk May 05 2006 08:28 PM

From SNY: Who was the last player to start the season with a hitting streak longer than 19 games?

TransMonk May 05 2006 08:33 PM

SNY's answer: Steve Garvy. Who knew?

Gwreck May 05 2006 08:38 PM

TBS Answer: Lonnie Smith. 5 WS, 4 Teams, 3 Rings.

TransMonk May 05 2006 08:39 PM

After four, still tied at 2. Mets have left 7 on base. Reyes is 3 for 3.

Gwreck May 05 2006 08:39 PM

Chip Caray continues his LoDuca-lovefest. "Out of all of these Mets, this is the guy you don't want to see up with runners in scoring position." Uh, Chip, I like LoDuca a lot too, but are you serious?

MFS62 May 05 2006 08:44 PM

Let us guess - the guy he wants to see up with runners in scoring position is.. (the envelope, please) Cliff Floyd. Later

Gwreck May 05 2006 08:53 PM

No, he was talking from Atlanta's perspective. Chip (and broadcast partner) actively root for Atlanta throughout the broadcast.

MFS62 May 05 2006 09:02 PM

That's what I meant. Any Atlanta fan would love to have Floyd coming up for the Mets with runners on base, the way he's not been hitting. Later

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 09:02 PM

Crap - Brian Jordon scores on Brian McCann's 2-out single.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 09:04 PM

And McCann scores on MispronouncedDiaz's single :(

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:07 PM

Kaz saves an eventual run with a nice tag on a stolen base attempt by Francoeur. Willie let Trachs pitch to both McCann and Diaz with 1st base open. 4-2 bad guys mid 6.

Nymr83 May 05 2006 09:07 PM

we need runs damnit

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 09:08 PM

Larry makes a nice catch to rob Nady of a hit.

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:08 PM

Grrrr... I hate you, Larry. Takes a double away from Nady on a diving grab.

Johnny Dickshot May 05 2006 09:08 PM

We oughta have about 8 runs by now.

Nymr83 May 05 2006 09:12 PM

Tom McCarthy just accused David Glass (what team does he own?) of being "notorious" for pocketing revenue-sharing after he cracked that he was out of patience but not out of money because he doesnt spend any. good thing he works for wfan not sny or he'd be in trouble.

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:12 PM

Johnny Dickshot wrote: We oughta have about 8 runs by now. At least.

Gwreck May 05 2006 09:25 PM

David Glass is the Royals' owner.

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:26 PM

8 runs might not be enough anyway as Bradford allows 2 runs in the 7th. Bravos still batting with 2 outs and Feliciano coming in. Matsui saves another run with a heads up play on the infield resulting in a FC at the plate.

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:28 PM

McCann flies out to Nady...6-2 Braves at the stretch.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 09:28 PM

X-Man makes a great catch to end the inning.

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:33 PM

Alright, Reyes 4 for 4 with a single. LoDuca extends his hit streak to 8 with a GR Double. 2nd and 3rd no outs...Beltran, Delgado and Wright to follow. Davies is yanked.

Johnny Dickshot May 05 2006 09:36 PM

Rally.

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:38 PM

E6 for Edgar from Beltran. Delgado singles. 6-4 now, still no outs. McBride is yanked.

Johnny Dickshot May 05 2006 09:41 PM

Rally.

Gwreck May 05 2006 09:43 PM

C'mon Kaz. Anything but the double-play should tie it.

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:43 PM

Floyd rolls an RBI single through the infield. Runners advance on a passed ball. Walk to Nady, bases loaded for Kaz with one out. Down by a run.

Nymr83 May 05 2006 09:43 PM

6-5. wild pitch and an intentional walk to Nady make it 6-5, bases loaded for Kaz Matsui.

Johnny Dickshot May 05 2006 09:45 PM

Rally!

Nymr83 May 05 2006 09:45 PM

6-6 bases still loaded! get the fuckin lead here, no excuses!

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:46 PM

Yes, yes, YES!!! Kaz finally comes through with a blooper. Tied at 6!

Nymr83 May 05 2006 09:46 PM

FUCK, anything but the DP you old man!

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:47 PM

Julio kills the rally with a 6-4-3. New ballgame now.

Gwreck May 05 2006 09:47 PM

That DP hurts big.

TransMonk May 05 2006 09:48 PM

I like our bullpen better than theirs, though.

Nymr83 May 05 2006 09:55 PM

Reyes safe at third!! double and error on the bobble or straight triple?

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 09:55 PM

Reyes leads off the 8th with a triple. It's his first career 5-hit game.

Nymr83 May 05 2006 09:56 PM

fuck shit. good job LoDuca you putz

Nymr83 May 05 2006 09:58 PM

]Reyes leads off the 8th with a triple. It's his first career 5-hit game. that'll bounce that OBP everyone has been bitching about. (its gotta be .325 by now, a number i still don't like but can deal with) Beltran walked and they'll bring in Remlinger to face Delgado

Gwreck May 05 2006 10:00 PM

Lefties hitting .368 off Remlinger.

Nymr83 May 05 2006 10:01 PM

Delgado now 1-9 career off Remlinger after lining out to SS.

Nymr83 May 05 2006 10:05 PM

Wright walks... What was that about wanting Floyd in a big spot earlier? here it is.

Nymr83 May 05 2006 10:08 PM

damn foul balls.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 10:09 PM

Crap! The Mets strand three runners in the 8th :(

Johnny Dickshot May 05 2006 10:09 PM

Bluh.

TransMonk May 05 2006 10:10 PM

Crap! How can you not score after a leadoff Triple!?!?! Boggles the mind.

GYC May 05 2006 10:10 PM

Mets don't score with a runner on 3rd and the world keeps spinning...

MFS62 May 05 2006 10:11 PM

See what I meant earlier in this thread about the Braves wanting Floyd up in such a situation? Later

TransMonk May 05 2006 10:11 PM

12 Team LOB tonight through 8.

TransMonk May 05 2006 10:13 PM

Wright makes a great play snagging a hit from Renteria! Glove is helping us out tonight. On edit: Carlos allows a catchable ball to fall in off Larry's bat.

Gwreck May 05 2006 10:19 PM

TransMonk wrote: On edit: Carlos allows a catchable ball to fall in off Larry's bat. ...but Aaron is awesome. Here we go, bottom 9th. Walk-off wins are fun. Rally time!

Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods? Where's the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I would swear that there's someone somewhere Watching me Through the wind end the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach Like the fire in my blood

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 10:21 PM

X-Man leads off the 9th with a walk. KazMat at bat.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 10:22 PM

A sac bunt moves Nady to 2nd. Chris Woodward is up as a pinch-hitter.

Johnny Dickshot May 05 2006 10:22 PM

Mets 9th: Nady walks. Matsui sacrifices, Nady to 2nd Woodie to pinch hit.

Johnny Dickshot May 05 2006 10:23 PM

Unusual pitching change as James leaves with a 1-1 count.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 10:28 PM

Crap - Wooodward strikes out for the second out of the inning. They're walking Reyes to get to LoDuca. No 6-6 opportunity for him tonight.

Edgy DC May 05 2006 10:30 PM

So tense. So thrilling.

GYC May 05 2006 10:30 PM

Free Ramon Castro!

GYC May 05 2006 10:31 PM

Atlanta has 1 reliever and 1 hitter remaining. Don't blow this.

Johnny Dickshot May 05 2006 10:31 PM

Fucking mouthbreathing Moylan freak.

Edgy DC May 05 2006 10:31 PM

Braves get out of the ninth. Wasn't Peter Moylan the company clerk at the 4077th?

Gwreck May 05 2006 10:37 PM

Sandman uses 7 pitches, enabling him to go another inning, no problem. But let's make that unnecessary, Carlos, hmmkay?

Edgy DC May 05 2006 10:42 PM

Didn't happen. Moylan is a lot like Heilman. Silmilar arm angle. Bottom drops out of the inside change the same way.

GYC May 05 2006 10:44 PM

Forgot about Betemit, now the Braves have only Pratt off the bench and Reitsma out of the bullpen.

TransMonk May 05 2006 10:45 PM

Peter Moylan baffles our 3-4-5 hitters in his second full ML inning of work. I'll be truly pissed if we lose this game.

Johnny Dickshot May 05 2006 10:45 PM

Wilson F. Betimit?

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 10:46 PM

Crap - 7-6 Braves on the homer.

TransMonk May 05 2006 10:46 PM

Dammit!!! Wags is not as advertised.

Edgy DC May 05 2006 10:47 PM

Technically, that homer was hit before Ms. Edgy came into the room, because of the delay in the MLB.tv broadcast. So she didn't cause that. Technically.

GYC May 05 2006 10:49 PM

Wagner sucks.

Edgy DC May 05 2006 10:52 PM

Thanks for that. Giles isn't supposed to get a lead like that against a lefty.

Edgy DC May 05 2006 10:54 PM

Lo Duca spending a lot of time on his knees.

Who has had longer scoreless stretches than Duaner out of the Mets bullpen? Greg McMichael and Mark Guthrie. Among those with enough innings to qualify, those are about the last two I'd guess. Well, maybe Tim Burke. Rietsma going to come back out?

Pratt hits, meaning Jorge Sosa will pitch the bottom of the 13th.

Delgado has made a few nice plays at first tonight, especially for a guy that isn't supposed to be very good defensively. Mets coming to bat in the 13th. Time to end this one guys. Score a run and send everyone home happy.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 11:33 PM

Nady walks. Again. KazMat bunts him over. Again.

Edgy DC May 05 2006 11:34 PM

Three dueling rally songs. Keith liked that bunt. If he was at first, he catches that on a fly.

Nady on second base after a walk and Kaz Matsui bunt. Castro hitting for Sanchez with hopes of ending it right here.

Julio on 15 pitches after a dozen or so last night. Can he go another? Let's not need an answer.

ScarletKnight41 May 05 2006 11:50 PM

Keith and Gary are wearing rally caps in the booth.

Keith Hernandez with a rally cap on???

Edgy DC May 06 2006 12:10 AM

If it was 2005, we could've had Roberto Hernandez as the emergency catcher. Tommie Reynolds, where are you?

Nymr83 May 06 2006 12:11 AM

Johnny Dickshot wrote: ]now is time for her to pay.... Cue porno soundtrack... LMAO!

Edgy DC May 06 2006 12:13 AM

Maine is Gimpy. I doubt Glavine would be at first. He or Zambrano would go to weakside outfielder and Xavier Nady would play first.

Nymr83 May 06 2006 12:13 AM

who IS the emergency catcher? MLB should have a rule that you can use the bullpen catcher but only if your other 2 catchers are out of the game (kinda like the 3rd QB in the NFL, if you use him before the 4th you can't go back to anyone else or something like that)

old original jb May 06 2006 12:16 AM

What a game. So much to love. (good D, the pen except for Wagner, great comebacks, huge rally, Floyd's homerun --which he missed by only a few feet in the prior at bat.) I also love how Keith let his hair down in the booth--this time without putting his foot in his mouth so much (although some might not have appreciated his geezer imitation). And so much that was disturbing. (Runners left on, missed opportunities, and most of all Billy Wagner giving up the longball. By the way, what's a Betamit?) I'll sure take the W, but is anyone worried about the closer? Say it with me... Loo.... ah, never mind.

Frayed Knot May 06 2006 12:19 AM

"By the way, what's a Betamit?" It's the follow-up to an Alphamit

Edgy DC May 06 2006 12:21 AM

]who IS the emergency catcher? Chris Woodward, when available. ]MLB should have a rule that you can use the bullpen catcher but only if your other 2 catchers are out of the game (kinda like the 3rd QB in the NFL, if you use him before the 4th you can't go back to anyone else or something like that) I like wars of attrition. I never heard that NFL rule. I wouldn't like that. Part of the great fun of sports is seeing people stretched beyond the challenge of their comfort zone.

Centerfield May 06 2006 12:38 AM

That was a good game. Great hustle by Beltran to get to second. Otherwise, he would have had to stop at 3rd and we might still be playing.

Gwreck May 06 2006 12:39 AM

After Woodward, I bet Wright would do the best job at catcher, I just don't ever want him playing there. Zambrano had probably gone home by the time he would've been needed, so Glavine in the OF would've been the solution. Definetly no Pedro in the field.

Gwreck May 06 2006 12:42 AM

Should also be noted that with the win, Mets now have best record in baseball again (tied with ChiSox).

Frayed Knot May 06 2006 12:48 AM

Yeah it def wouldn't be Zamby as he's pitching the next day. Woodward's possible for the 3rd backstop in a generic way but he had already come and gone by that point. The 3rd catcher call might not be as tuff as figuring out which pitcher goes in and where. Glavine seems like the best athlete although you'd hardly want him throwing a lot the day after he pitched. Trax might be next but of course not tonight either. Who knows about Maine and I'd tie Pedro's showlaces to the bench before allowing him out of the dugout on non-game days. So it would almost certainly have to be Glavine, or else do a Oliver/Julio switching between the mound and a position (1st of OF) depending on the hand-ed-ness of the batter stunt.

G-Fafif May 06 2006 07:50 AM

Delgado caught five innings early in his career. Once Woody and Castro were used and had Lo Duca been forced to leave (and I assume it would have to have been at gunpoint), I had CD behind the plate, Nady going to first and Glavine in right.

Edgy DC May 06 2006 08:51 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 06 2006 09:04 AM

I could live with losing a game having Nady behind the plate, over the marginally experienced Delgado, a lot longer than I could live if Delgado got hurt. Emergency catchers should be your most disposable player. That's probably Matsui, with um, a pitcher in the outfield, Wright at second, and Nady at third. That's the ticket!

KC May 06 2006 08:53 AM

I think I would have had a heart attack if Delgado put on the tool belt.
