Still no Floyd....go Pedro.

metirish Jun 17 2006 07:17 PM

Floyd is on the DL ..

OlerudOwned Jun 17 2006 07:21 PM

I'm still impressed about how fluidly Valentin adjusted to second base. I'm actually just impressed with Valentin in general. I wanted his head for a while, stupid fan I am.

OlerudOwned Jun 17 2006 07:23 PM

Brian Fahey, welcome to the outfield.

OlerudOwned Jun 17 2006 07:27 PM

Closet wheels! Benson tried to mreak Millar's toe or something with that throw.

OlerudOwned Jun 17 2006 07:27 PM

I feel like I'm talking to myself here, but Delgado laced an RBI, shift or no shift.

dinosaur jesus Jun 17 2006 07:29 PM

Keep on talking. I'm listening.

OlerudOwned Jun 17 2006 07:36 PM

The 7th pick in the 2003 1st Year Player Draft flies out to the 12th pick of the same draft. Bottom 2 we go.

OlerudOwned Jun 17 2006 07:38 PM

Back-to-back leadoff singles go a combined distance of about 12 feet. Yay speed.

OlerudOwned Jun 17 2006 07:47 PM

Benson just homered. Kris Benson. That Kris Benson. Tie game.

Nymr83 Jun 17 2006 07:48 PM

the WB broadcast is cutting in and out, my other channels are fine... Benson homers off of Pedro!

Iubitul Jun 17 2006 07:48 PM

Wow. Just wow. The picture cut out just when Milledge made his leap - For a fleeting second, I thought he might have caught it.

DocTee Jun 17 2006 07:51 PM

OO with a virtually solo performance. Nice job, from an appreciative out-of-towner.

metirish Jun 17 2006 07:53 PM

I'm really starting to get concerned about Pedro's home run count this season....

They can't score after Delgado's lead-off double - let's put this team back on the road...

OlerudOwned Jun 17 2006 08:19 PM

Another leadoff hit, another scoreless inning. Although that can be partially credited to a fantastic catch by Marcakeass.

Iubitul Jun 17 2006 08:19 PM

2-2 after 4... Mets strand another lead-off hit...

OlerudOwned Jun 17 2006 08:26 PM

Dammit to ass, Orioles take the lead.

Iubitul Jun 17 2006 08:27 PM

ugh - I was afraid of this with all of the freaking bandwagon-jumping....

Nymr83 Jun 17 2006 08:33 PM

maybe the bandwagoners can go home and we'll win another 8 in a row now.

Iubitul Jun 17 2006 08:33 PM

Nice running catch by Beltran there...

Bad day for David Wright's hitting streak.

Edgy DC Jun 17 2006 09:36 PM

Rally. Now.

Elster88 Jun 17 2006 09:37 PM

I want to puke.

Edgy DC Jun 17 2006 09:40 PM

Way to respond, Lastings.

Nymr83 Jun 17 2006 09:40 PM

good job milledge.

Elster88 Jun 17 2006 09:41 PM

This closer at Baltimore is pretty good huh.

Edgy DC Jun 17 2006 09:42 PM

Could reallly use Cliffy's bat here.

Elster88 Jun 17 2006 09:42 PM

No doubles defense keeps the right fielder from catching that foul ball. I never really understood no doubles defense. In some cases it doesn't seem to work to me. But I may be missing something.

Elster88 Jun 17 2006 09:43 PM

Poop. On a stick.

But I may be missing something. if franco doubles the mets are a hit away from tying it, if franco is held to a single they are likely two hits away from tying it, thus the orioles are willing to increase his chance of a hit to lessen the chance of a double... i'm not sure if it works or not because there has probably never been a study of batting average and percentage of hits for extra bases against a "no doubles defense" to see if it is mathematically sound, but thats the theory behind it at least.

Well, Omar had this coming. And that thread! It's one thing to talk about the playoffs in June -- too forward looking, sure, but I coulkd see it the way things were going. But to erase it because of superstitions only lends them legitimacy. We're doomed people. Doomed. Not for nothing but Triple Happiness got F'ed with a while back and we didn;t have one for 2 months. Really disappointing to play like we have these last two days. Bleh.

Iubitul Jun 17 2006 09:52 PM

It could have been worse - they didn't lose any ground...

But if your goal is to keep the Mets from scoring runs, why wouldn't you play the same defense you usually play to keep them from scoring runs? As seen in this game, Franco's foul ball was almost a double and would've been caught if the right fielder was positioned normally.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 17 2006 10:05 PM

Because you're not defending against foul balls but doubles.

Nymr83 Jun 17 2006 10:17 PM

]No, no, I understand the theory. But if your goal is to keep the Mets from scoring runs, why wouldn't you play the same defense you usually play to keep them from scoring runs? because your normal defense isn't set up to prevent the mets from scoring one run, it is setup to minimize the risk of a big inning. when you bring the infield in, bring the outfielders in, or back the outfielders up from "normal" depth you are theoretically increasing the chances of a big inning while decreasing the chances of one run scoring again, i have no idea if it actually works out that way, but thats the idea
