Professional Hitter down on strikes.

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 07:51 PM

Mets score 2 in the 2nd. Wright doubles, Nady walks, Floyd doubles. Why does Willie have a woody for Woody? It seems like he starts everyday.

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 08:13 PM

Reyes is amazingly fun to watch on the basepaths.

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 08:21 PM

Mets add another run in the 3rd without a hit. 3-0 good guys.

metirish Jul 06 2006 08:25 PM

Transmonk I can't let you go this alone...yeah Reyes is a blast on the basepaths.....where the hell is everyone, do these people have a life or what?

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 08:27 PM

Folks start rolling in about the 6th inning or so. The beginnings of games have been slow for the IGTs lately.

metirish Jul 06 2006 08:29 PM

Floyd gets hit again....poor guy...looks hurt.

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 08:29 PM

Cliff drilled hard in the wrist by a fastball. That hurt...I could hear him yelling al the way in Wisconsin.

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 08:31 PM

Cliff may be having a rough offensive season, but he deserves a Purple Heart for the abuse he's taken. Looks to be okay.

metirish Jul 06 2006 08:35 PM

It's why the fans love Cliff, what a gamer he is...

metirish Jul 06 2006 08:37 PM

Reyes with a two run single...5 zip.....

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 08:43 PM

I know he wasn't nominated in the most pleasant surprise thread, but Jose Reyes looks better to me everyday. I almost want to change my vote.

metirish Jul 06 2006 08:48 PM

Did you see after they came back from a TV break Howie pointed out how Floud nealy got hit by a relay throw to first....unreal...if he hadn't ducked he would have got clobbered in the head.....

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 08:54 PM

Poor Cliff. Speaking of poor, the wheels are falling off for Trachsel. 90 pitches and struggling in the 5th.

metirish Jul 06 2006 09:01 PM

Wright with a huge jack......

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 09:01 PM

David Wright goes KABOOM! 7-2 Mets.

SI Metman Jul 06 2006 09:03 PM

Mets going with the retro booth. Ron and Keith switched between Radio and TV in the middle of the 5th.

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 09:15 PM

Do we see Trachsel go another with 109 pitches? We should with Lima/Maine/Pelfrey and the AS break coming up.

TransMonk Jul 06 2006 09:16 PM

Yup...and he gets plunked leading off the 6th.

Not a life, but an obligation. Nice to come home to a 7-2 lead. I heard Mr. Wright's homer in the car ride home. I love that boy :)

metirish Jul 06 2006 09:19 PM

You should have seen it SK, it was a vintage Piazza home run the other way....

metirish Jul 06 2006 09:26 PM

I wish Keith would stop going on about how the game today is sooooo different than when he played......very Seaver like that is.

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2006 09:31 PM

Those of you actually watching the game, please help a guy out. Who's throwing in the Mets pen? Someone has to be throwing in the pen. Barring a miracle, I don't see Trachsel surviving the 6th.

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2006 09:35 PM

Trachsel strikes out Jason Bay for the first out, then Willie pulls him. Good outing by Trachsel. It's in the hands of the bullpen now. Come on Heilman.

MFS62 Jul 06 2006 09:36 PM

It might have been a nice time to audition Mr. Owens. In case nobody has noticed, ever since they traded him away (after having him for one off season week) Joe Randa has been an absolute pain in the ERA to the Mets. Later

metirish Jul 06 2006 09:38 PM

Howie said Owens just got to the park....

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2006 09:38 PM

Best to save his audition for the start of an inning. Men at first and second with one out is a little tougher time to make the leap from Binghamton to Shea. Nice job by Heilman.

Come on Cliffy. We need insurance. Damn.

Willets Point Jul 06 2006 09:45 PM

Pedro as a boy was not the child you'd want in the back seat on long trips.

Iubitul Jul 06 2006 09:56 PM

7-4 Good guys after Oh No Not Aaron Heilman almost implodes...

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2006 10:09 PM

Wagner in for save #301, thanks to Heilman.

metirish Jul 06 2006 10:09 PM

Well we know one thing from this game ...Marreo should not be playing CF.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 06 2006 10:16 PM

Sucky saves beat beautiful losses. The Mets Win! The Mets Win!

Gwreck Jul 06 2006 10:17 PM

Put it in the books!

Rockin' Doc Jul 06 2006 10:20 PM

The suckiness of the save was more the fault of Marrero than Wagner.

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2006 10:22 PM

Don't knock any knid of save - particularly as Wags gave up only a measly single and an UNearned run on his own. Cuz at the same moment that he was nailing down our 3 (then 2) run lead, Atlanta was in the midst of blowing a 5 run 9th inning lead to the Reds, the last 3 courtesy of Jose V's baby brother's 1-out PH 3R HR. That was Atlanta's league-leading 18th blown save of the year. 7-7 heading for the bottom of the 9th - despite the Braves getting a (not all that common lately) good game from Tim Hudson.

(knock on wood)4-0 at Shea this year!{/knock on wood) I was the special guest of CPF visitor and occasional contributor Gfafif tonight: I hope to be a character in a better writeup than I can muster now tomorrow. The Top 500 and the nature of baseball on the internet was deconstructed, we had a visit from the late lamented Bret Sabermetric, and I realized on the train home that it was 10 All-Star Breaks ago (Philadelphia) that began spectacular and unexpected events leading to my fleeing the hinterlands, moving to New York and re-connecting with the Mets. It was also decided that we'd had enough of Aaron Heilman surrendering a run an inning over his recent performances. But that Jose Reyes & D Wright are something else, and Cliff Floyd is a truly a Met.

To Jon in New York, here's your long-distance dedication... http://faithandfear.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2006/7/7/2089418.html

Willets Point Jul 07 2006 08:23 AM

Do you mean to imply that Cliff Floyd is a diver?

Johnny Dickshot Jul 07 2006 09:39 AM

Yes. Yes I do. ]Jackie Wilson says: 1B They played that song last nite at Shea, though it was long before Wilson came to hit.

Edgy DC Jul 07 2006 01:35 PM

Let's make a mental note here: The Mets beat up on a rookie starter the first time they faced him. Let's not forget that the next time a rookie starter shuts them down.

Elster88 Jul 07 2006 02:47 PM

I think the use of the term "thrashing" is in order.

Willets Point Jul 07 2006 02:50 PM

The Pirates pitcher is also joing the All-Mouthful All-Stars squad. So far it looks like this: 1B Mientkiewicz 2B Grudzielanek P Gorzelanny

Edgy DC Jul 07 2006 03:10 PM

All playing for desperate teams this year --- teams that can ill afford all those letters for their jerseys.

metirish Jul 07 2006 04:03 PM

Who would have thought Trax would have the second most wins on the team at this stage of the season.

Centerfield Jul 07 2006 04:04 PM

It's not that far-fetched. At the outset, there were only two candidates you would have slotted in ahead of Trachs.
