That's a shitty lineup.

Nymr83 Jun 07 2006 09:35 PM

uuugly.

Willie: - Reyes: probably tomorrow, available tonight to pinch-run - Cliff: Will most likely miss the Ariz series, are shooting for Tuesday

KC Jun 07 2006 09:39 PM

Can't always field the nine o'choice. Good teams win with B and C players. Especially on the opposite coast. Root for a big night from Julio and Wood and rinse repeat with some Endyledge.

Frayed Knot Jun 07 2006 09:49 PM

Wants to give Delgado a break. Lefty going tonight while the upcoming Snakes have no southpaws on their staff.

KC Jun 07 2006 09:58 PM

Delgado can use a day off. When I become a baseball guy I'll start calling MLB managers smart or dumb. (or big balled or wee-balled for that matter).

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:05 PM

BEHIND THE BAG That has to be a rug, right?

Gwreck Jun 07 2006 10:08 PM

Probably also worthy of noting that it's not as if Carlos D. has been, you know, hitting much.

Gwreck Jun 07 2006 10:14 PM

Anyone else using Gameday Audio tonight? (And is it working, if so?)

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:17 PM

Carlos: "Looks like a line drive in the box score." Gary tells us this is the 16th time this year that David has batted cleanup.

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:18 PM

Question: Who goes the other way better than Young David?

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:20 PM

Wow. No throw on the double steal. Carlos can run. Too bad Delgado hits between them, they could do that all year. (SC = 85)

Props to Willie calling the double steal on an 0-1 count with the injured Beltran stealing 3rd, and then having Franco get a 2-RBI single. Major props.

Edgy DC Jun 07 2006 10:21 PM

Answer: not many. Mets score twice. Willie's stupidity saves.

Valentin with an RBI double and to third on throw - IS THIS THE METS?!

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:23 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 07 2006 10:23 PM

Very close play at the plate. Bang-bang. Or slide-bang. Edit: That's cool, going from being Ron to being Keith.

Edgy DC Jun 07 2006 10:23 PM

Lookit that old man run. Stupid Willie does it again.

GYC Jun 07 2006 10:23 PM

Milledge with an RBI triple. No, this is not the Mets.

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:25 PM

Milledge's triple was also very close....I'm all for hustle, but one of those old schoool rules that I really believe in is "Never make the last out at third."

Edgy DC Jun 07 2006 10:26 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 07 2006 10:38 PM

First career trip, right? After looking like crap on the previous pitch. The Benson Bunch needs to have an intervention with Odalis Perez. Weren't the Mets supposed to be looking at him to plug the rotation?

Yancy Street Gang Jun 07 2006 10:26 PM

I had decided that I was just going to watch the top of the first inning before going to bed, and I got to see the Mets score four runs. Thanks guys!

GYC Jun 07 2006 10:29 PM

Please don't tell me this is going to be like last night. Poor pitching on both sides = boring, stressful AL-ish baseball.

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:30 PM

Nomar's OCD routine at the plate doesn't really bother me. I forgot Glavine is on short rest today. I think that he just doesn't know what to do with all this run support.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 07 2006 10:30 PM

Sure Tom - take the mound with a 4-0 lead and immediately cough up a homer.

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:31 PM

You know...with Gagne back...the Dodgers are pretty darn good team. I used to hate them in the days of Mike Scioscia.

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:32 PM

Milledge, Beltran, Chavez. Too bad we're not playing at a field like the Polo Grounds. That is one speedy motherjumping outfield.

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:33 PM

Excellent turn by Valentin. Edit: On replay, it wasn't a hard one at all, the runner to second never got close.

GYC Jun 07 2006 10:37 PM

If Perez gets DFA'd after the game, he'd deserve it.

Gwreck Jun 07 2006 10:38 PM

Wow, looks like we rediscovered the offense with the B-team here. Too bad f-ing MLB.com doesn't have the audio working, it'd sure be nice to actually hear this game. </grumble>

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 10:40 PM

They turned two on right, but that was a lazy-ass throw to start it. David almost beat it.

GYC Jun 07 2006 10:53 PM

Son of a bitch.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 07 2006 10:53 PM

Fuckshit! Furball ties the game with his second homer of the game!

HahnSolo Jun 07 2006 10:53 PM

OK, someone check Furcal's bat...or his urine sample.

Gwreck Jun 07 2006 10:56 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 07 2006 11:00 PM

As gameday audio returns, on WFAN Tom and Eddie C. have Robin Ventura, I think (?) in the booth with them. Didn't hear him introduced but it sounds like him. OE: Yes, it's Ventura. Talking about his ankle transplant.

Edgy DC Jun 07 2006 10:59 PM

Well, I excused myself with a 4-1 lead. What do you folks have to say for yourselves?

ScarletKnight41 Jun 07 2006 11:05 PM

Why the heck did you leave? See what you did?

Edgy DC Jun 07 2006 11:06 PM

Thought they were in good hands.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 07 2006 11:20 PM

Edgy DC Jun 07 2006 11:21 PM

I don't know how he turned on that one.

Nymr83 Jun 07 2006 11:28 PM

Cruz homers... Glavine has got nothing tonight, its bullpen time.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 07 2006 11:29 PM

Holy Hell Tom - STOP giving up gopher balls!

Edgy DC Jun 07 2006 11:29 PM

Mental note: give Glavine his full rest.

Zvon Jun 07 2006 11:39 PM

="Elster88"]You know...with Gagne back...the Dodgers are pretty darn good team. I used to hate them in the days of Mike Scioscia. Gagne won't pitch for a few days LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Los Angeles Dodgers closer Eric Gagne will be shut down for a few days because of stiffness in his surgically repaired pitching elbow. The 30-year-old right-hander earned his first save in nearly a year Tuesday night by striking out two in a perfect ninth inning in an 8-5 victory over the New York Mets, but said afterward he wasn't 100 percent. __________________________________________________________ And his stuff looked sick last night. Glad if this is still close in the 9th we dont have to see him. When I heard the mets had 5 runs in the first two innings I figured that would be all Glavine would need. Baseball,---this is a wacky game.

Edgy DC Jun 07 2006 11:47 PM

Heck yeah I'm surprised to see Glavine hit here. Not that he can't hit, but...

Elster88 Jun 07 2006 11:50 PM

LaSorda was up in the booth. I didn't know that he wouldn't let Gibson get in the on-deck circle, because with a decoy in the on-deck circle he figured the A's would pitch around Mike Davis who was up before him. 'Course, that great baseball moment never should have happened.

Edgy DC wrote: Heck yeah I'm surprised to see Glavine hit here. Not that he can't hit, but... Reyes out, Floyd out. the bench tonight is 3 guys....might as well let glavine hit this early

As usual, "Let's Go Mets" chants are audible.

OoTS: Atlanta's a loser. Philadelphia's a winner.

Edgy DC Jun 07 2006 11:59 PM

Glavine out of gas with 93 pitches.

Zvon Jun 08 2006 12:01 AM

Thats all for Glavine after walking Cruz. His ERA at game start was 2.59. He'll leave the mound with an ERA of 3.06. I do hope we get him this win.

Elster88 Jun 08 2006 12:02 AM

I woulda thunk that seven Met runs in a Glavine start = rest day for the bullpen.

Elster88 wrote: I woulda thunk that seven Met runs in a Glavine start = rest day for the bullpen. Yeah, but not the end of the world. Wagner, Heilman and Sanchez are all fairly rested, all having had the last 2 days off.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 08 2006 10:34 AM

I dunno if anyone said it yet but that a big fat hairy win. We scored like Fonzie with a makeshift lineup, survived subpar appearances from Glavine and Sanchez, and didn't give in despite nearly blowing it to a pretty good offensive opponent. I fell asleep about halfway through this one and was convinced I'd awake this morning to only discover that Seo had bitched us up and the pitching wasn't tough enough to hold on. Nice win Mets!

metirish Jun 08 2006 10:38 AM

The Mets "battled" for this win, a team of battlers you might say.

I had one. . . nothing special, IMO, other than the name. Kind of like a "Fenway Frank."
